@pkloop lol, I would be really disturbed if I heard a booming man's voice ring out in my bedroom where my wife sleeps stating: "YOU CANNOT REST HERE, EITHER FIND AN INN OR REST OUTSIDE!"
...When you see a friend you know walking away from you and while following them you repeatedly say "Heya, it's me [ ]"
...When you actually consider killing Gorion yourself to be an accomplishment, even though it is a game ender.
...When you are starring down at a history final worth 40% of your grade, and one of the things that pops into your mind is "I really wish I hadn't picked dispel magic for my sorcerer, I should have gone with remove magic"
... When you make Fafhrd the password to your computer

This. Prime example of why I was a lousy student. The combination of Arcanum, Fallout and Baldur's Gate completely ruined my finals.
I think this already got explained above in the thread, but to the person who asked "what's fafhrd", it's the password to the thieves' guild in Baldur's Gate City.
And I guess if I know that, it means I play BG too much. LOL.
When you're resting in dungeon and see animation sequence including tent and campfire. When you're resting exactly 8 hours. When you're wondering, why you can't pause the world.
...When your right hand disintegrates in 10 seconds flat when you die.
...When, in a bar, some drunkard attacks you, and you don't defend yourself, because you think everyone around will guess you're some sort of psychotic killer and will either attack you or flee in terror.
...When you ALWAYS keep your +3 two-handed sword in your hands. You walk with it. You eat with it. You sleep with it. You do your laundry with it. You keep it when you're home. When you're shopping. When you're in a tavern. When your girlfriend talks to you about her feelings. When your father invites you to an unexpected trip. When (especially when) you walk through a forest at night. Just as if it is glued to your hands. And it feels completely natural.

And you don´t take off your armor, not even while sleeping.
When you're listening to the IWD2 soundtracks on YouTube and your wife (who is not/nor will ever be a gamer) actually recognizes the the music and says "are you actually just listening to the music from that icedale game"
I was proud she recognized it and got reasonably close to the correct name considering I haven't been able to play the game without headphones in years
When you talk to someone in real life and is mentally looking for the pause button to consider your course of action
That´s the better scenario. But how many times BG player tried the most ridiculous reaction in conversation, knowing that he can reload.
When you in real life walk into your chief´s office, he looks at you curiously, asking "What do you need?" when you react with something like "I´m going to take all your money from your corpse!"
Or you walk into random house and after the owner asks who you are and what do you want, you react like "I´m just going to help myself to your belongings."
And how do you find out, if the police officer who will come to that random house after owner calls him plays BG too? When he walks in a shouts "I seerve the Flaming Fist!"
I auditioned for a play using the opening prologue as my monologue piece. The director was none the wiser to its origins, and I got cast. Does that count?

Fafdrd is the secret word to enter into the thieve's guild ;-)

Icedale, aw, that's so cute bro. I would be proud too.
For bonus points, make sure if she recognises the final boss fight music from the original first game.
