Fun With Charms!

So, I decided to abuse Algernon's Cloak and the Nymph Cloak on people you just find around. In this thread, we share the results of using charm person on creatures that are not necessarily appropriate to use it on!

Also if the spoilers tags don't work, then, uhh, well, that sucks.

Quoningar - Talks about how the city scares him. Quoningar is a gnomish cleric that was added in via Unfinished Business, because some sort of bug prevented him from showing up.
Ithtyl - Ithtyl gives you 20 gold, and then when you talk to her later on, says that she has financial issues. ;___;
Centeol - Centeol tells you about her past, and how she was hot for Joneleth Irenicus (derp). She got it into her head to kill his lover, and he cursed her. She begs for death.
Desreta and Vay-ya - Too addled in the head; they just don't respond, or try to get you to off yourself. Again.
Cook - Cooks tell you jokes about Cormyreans and Sembians.
Phandalyn - Just walks about with the haft of his spear in his keister, from what I recall.
Iron Throne Guards - Are no fun.
Iron Throne Merchants - One gives you 25 gold, and then tells you to get lost upon further dialogues. Pretty much how I handled requests for money from my coworkers!
-Another tells you about the leaders heading to Candlekeep. :3
Iron Throne Female Cook - "I'm a cook, what do you expect me to know? :/"
Iron Throne Male Cook - Attitude! Add some f-bombs, and he'd be like this one dude I worked with in a kitchen!
Destus Gurn - Says nothing.
Iron Throne Bartender - Says nothing.
Thaldorn - ...pretty much tells you every single detail of the Iron Throne's plan, sans Sarevok's Big Idea. Safana, you knockout. < 3
Yago - "So my wife slept with an elf, and I cursed her half-elf baby. I hope it chokes on its vomit!" -- Seconds before Shar-Teel fed him Varscona. Now, where's Coran...
Dilos - A nice exposition about the Flaming Fist. I didn't have the heart to quick-save over it, because I knew he'd turn hostile, and I want him to give his girl that Angel Skin Ring I handed to him!
Reader - Tells me about writing a book about Drizzt Do'Urden! THERE WILL BE A SPECIAL PLACE FOR YOU AT THE FOOT OF THE THRONE OF ORBRI OF CANDLEKEEP, GODDESS OF MURDER, READER. You will be my Chronicler.
Chanter, Voices - Nothing. >:|
Cadderly - Nothing.
Candlekeep Female Cook - Internalized misogyny. Talks about only knowing how to bake and cook and run a kitchen. :|
Candlekeep Male Cook - "I know how to cook. Go bug someone else for information please." COME ON SOMEBODY TELL ME WHERE I CAN FIND THE DRACOLICH BENEATH CANDLEKEEP I want its loot.


Will update this if I remember to update this!

    I made a list for the gifts: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/16681/gifts-you-can-get-from-charmed-npcs-spoilers

    Will post some interesting dialogue later.

    Insightful for you!

    Wow, these are cool stuff! And all were lost in BGT and TuTu games, right, for BG2 engine did not support charmed npcs dialogue. I remember Kagain's and Dyna's dialogues from BG1 NPC mod, though.

    In BG2, I have read that you can charm the guard captain in De'arnise Keep to undo whatever magic made him go crazy. I never had it work, though.

    And of course, if you do that, you don't get his full plate mail.

    I always do that. It takes a looot o save-scumming unless you've got - I believe - Unfinished Business installed.

    Seeing the title I was thinking,"Fun with Flags".

    One of the managers I used to work with told me I reminded her of Leonard.

    I'm not implying anything (you're probably an awesome person), but I never liked the Leonard character on that show.

    Haha, that's alright, I like Raj, he's pretty cool.

    I've seen the Centeol and "Joneleth Irenicus" dialogue before, without using Charm Person. (Except, didn't she get the name differently? "Joleth", or something?)

    I'm not sure if I saw it because a high charisma character initiated dialogue, or because I had NPC Project installed.

    I'm pretty sure a high charisma character can get a lot of these same dialogues without using Charm Person, just by intitiating dialogue where you would normally just start attacking.

    Btw, "Fun with Flags" is Sheldon's thing, not Leonard's. And, I kind of like all of them except Sheldon. As in, I wouldn't turn down an invitation to spend the night with Howard, Raj, or Leonard. Maybe not even Sheldon, in a pinch. I've seen some photos of the dude when he's not playing Sheldon, and he actually can be rather good-looking when he's not doing the goofy expression he does for the character. Um,... where were we? Oh, yes, Charm Person dialogues.

    Ya, I know it's Sheldon's thing, but I was like, "Well, while we're on the topic...".

    Did you have Xan in your party at the time? BG1 NPC Project adds a bit where he fixes Centeol, its actually a bit poorly done for whats otherwise a pretty good mod.

    There is only one charm I know of that works on that guy in vanilla BG2 and that would be the nymph cloak. Nymph cloak is the only charm in the vanilla game I know of that does not aggro people once the charm wears off.
