    If it's a bunch of Jehovah's Witnesses, hearing that voice may actually not be a symptom of too much playing.

    @Cheesebelly this happens to me all the time! I swear I've heard that "childrens laughter" noise from Beregost in several movies. My guess is that there's a company you can buy licenses to these sounds from, that there's basically a whole archive with different tabs like "nature sounds", "traffic sounds" or "gurgling death sounds". Makes sense, otherwise all sounds would have to be freshly recorded for every single game, movie and tv-show ever.

    They are either licensing these sounds or they are some free sounds for this usage. And they are used very often. Like how many times have you heard in other game or TV that sound from Doom 2, when final boss shot the cube from his brain. Also lots of other sounds heard in Doom/Quake are used very often.

    When you go on holiday in some scenic place and step into the waterfall searching for a dead cat to give to a crying girl.

    You know the girl hasn't played BG when she runs away screaming nor did her mother play BG if she smacks you on the head with her handbag.

    Ok got one last: ... you spend most time during character creation figuring, what class you should play
    or: you must ask a friend what class you should play, since you can't decide
