You Know You've Played Too Much BG2 When...

Remove all ads!

Or: this game is going wrong, let's start it over...

 

Yeah totaly, I even stoped playing ToEE for two months because I couldn't remap the quick save into q...

- You wonder when you'll have another weapon profiency

-You want to date Imoen

-You quit your girlfriend because she remind you of Aerie (It actutaly happened to me well that and other thing of course)

-You refuse to do your chores because you're mother won't give you a thousand gold piece, even though you need a large amount of money to rescue an old friend

-You ask your gym teacher how to change your avatar

 

When you get a buddy to make you a magic weapon, and fail to be surprised as he takes backhand swings with his hammer at an empty forge.

 

When you actually rely on the game to remind you when to eat.
(my friends think I'm anorexic, I prefer to call it devotion)

 

When you declare yourself Jon Irenicus, and proceed to staple your face.

When you enter a bookstore, and ask for the Complete Prophecies of Aluando.

When you buy the Collector's Edition of the game, only to realize that it comes without a manual, and you get a set of trading cards that don't work for any game.

When you demand every bald person on the street for you soul back.

 

-you try to quicksave before every action you're going to make
-when going to play football with your friend you wear full plate mail
-at night you run the streets in search for guild wars
-when entering a room you try to press TAB to highlight all containers

 

- You take time out of your day to post semi-witty one-liners in a thread titled "You Know You've Played Too Much BG2 When..."

 

while at school you're almost sure you hear "gather your party..." when close to any door through which people go

 

-when you constantly quote irenicus
-when you can explain to your history teacher what a flail is, etc...
-when you get in fights and shout "beware! your knees are mine!"
-when you watch lord of the rings and wonder wether legolas is actually a fighter or a ranger

 

When you play throught the game for the fourth time as the same class with the same romances and the exact same party.

When you spend hours reading the script from NPC Interactions Guide.

When you teach four of your friends the original BG Chants, and chant them in the Main Hall of your school.

When all three apply to you, as they do in my case.

 

When you can honestly say that you know more about the history of Faerun than that of the real world.

 

1: When an elf, a dwarf and gnome knock on your door and ask you to help them solving the quest of the "horrible flying sausage".
2: When you think Bhaal is your father.

 

-when you can say that 1297, year of the skull, was the year with the first recorded mentioning of drizz't

-when you actually like discussing with your friends how old elminster really is, or if there is actually a chance to beat the tarrask

 

There is; I've done it. Lost three members of a five-member level-20+ party, but I did it. (The other two later became gods in my pantheon.)

you're insane, you know that? you have to get him to -30 hitpoints and then use a wish...and 1 swing of his tail is usually enough to kill all your mages...

 

The last two were a Lvl 25 paladin (VERY injured), and a Lvl 28 mage who managed to conceal himself. Misleading illusions are very effective against monsters of animal (1) intelligence.

And yes, I know I'm for getting all those players with high-level heroes together to test the tarrasque. They weren't too happy about the ending to that quest.

 

concealed or no, te tarrask is so big that with 1 tail swing it would hit almost your entire party, not to mention his other 4 attacks in that same round; his bite is 5d10 damage if im not mistaken

 

Okay, this is getting off-topic. I'll start a new thread in the D&D forum.
The Tarrasque: Unstoppable killing machine?

EDIT: Included link.

When you see this, a few days after the last pic I posted, and get seriously concerned.

Now, that is freaky.
