    [​IMG] It is somewhat reasonable to assume that there are indeed similarities between BG2 and real life. That said, there are a few specific things I'd like to point out.

    Schools are Thieve's Guilds. Leave anything alone for more than a minute and you will never see it again.

    The government district is not where you think. Instead, it is that room where they hold PTA meetings. That is where they REALLY control our lives.

    There are a few of us that CAN talk to animals. You know, those unevolved, neandrithalistic simians in the back of math class that just can't seem to reason out how carrots keep getting up there nose.

    I don't know about anyone else, but I am most definately proficient with a staff. Especially on my siblings when they try to cut into valuble BG2 time.

    I am sure many more similarities exist.... they are forthcoming.

    I kill lawful good people in real life like in BG2!

    Remember the Hall of the Radiant Heart?
    I'm gonna have to look for it's real-life equivalent to massacre.
