    [​IMG] Some Mulder worthy moments:

    1. Spontaneous Combustion
    Why does that man at the Inn in Tradesmeet scream -a child of Bhaal, No! not again! (or similar) and promptly disappear avec le smoke effect?

    2. Bewitched Bears
    That damn Squirrel eating Bear in the Umar Hills almost gave me a heart attack the first time it appeared, I thought I was in for some wicka stick man scariness for a moment.

    3. Paperdolls Possessed
    Why does the Bard/Cleric female paperdoll have treetrunk legs and a face like a world champion gurner? where is the artistic grace or godly beauty? nowhere! just a bowl cut hairdo.

    I wondered about that guy in the Trademeet Inn, as well, that was wierd! So was that homicidal bear, it just went around killing all those little critters. If these things led you into some kind of wierd quest, that would have been cool. I like 'Tales of the Unexpected'- like stuff.

    [​IMG] I saw him in front of the Umar cave the kids (you buy the swords for) go to. This was after clearing out the cave only to find the kids fighting a diseased gibberling inside ?

    As we are in Umar what was with the chicken and the gem ? Wierd .....

    The bear was near the ranger's cabin but across the river (there was some spooky music when it firsted appeared, it made me jump) the lion was by Valygar's cabin when I played, I had to kill it :( Minsc was not happy

    [​IMG] I guess I totally missed it! There are a lot of cool things going on in the background, that you can miss if you're not paying attention.

    One of the really great things in this game, the amount of detail is insane! Do you notice the clouds of bugs hovering over the plates of food in the Copper Coronet? Ugh! I go elsewhere for dinner!

    What drove me mad in the game is that guy in Trademeet that wants to be an Adventurer to. He made me laugh my ass off, but then it started to get annoying, but he finally stops and gives you 5 +2 Bullets for listening.

    [​IMG] Yeah, listening to him all the way through also gives you experience points. Neeber is his name. He wasn't quite as annoying as Noober from BG I though. Bioware could've made a better job with him ;).

    [​IMG] Lora Croft moment:
    Samia in Firkragg's temple: "I'm not just another full bosomed relic hunter"

    Nice detail: Someone gets hit by a non resurrectable Deathspell and you see their spirit leave their body.

    Spoil me on this one IronEagle - I was good and took it back down. What happens if you take the rod to the surface?
