Face it: everybody likes cheese. And the Faerunians are no different. Yet, you still can't order a plate of your favourite D&D cheese in the taverns along the Sword Coast. So, what kind of cheese would you like to see added by Overhaul in order to enrichen the flavor of taverns, pubs and home cooking in the upcoming BG2:EE?

Cheese for everyone!

    I'll take Rincewind. A light, airy cheese from the Disc. Good as a light meal while traveling or fleeing for your life.

    What about Beregost plain. Ordinary cheese without any of the connoisseurs B.S.
    Good for every situation.

    I love goat's cheeses, but Green Calishite sounds badass!:)
    Without knowing what flavour Death Cheese has, I can't make a judgement.

    Fence-shoplifting to recharge wands Mist cheese pls
    There needs to be a cheese that's cultivated in the Abyss, and taken to the Prime Material Plane by paladins. And I would like the most beautiful alu-fiends from that Plane to stomp the grapes for the wine that I drink, please.

    Why on Toril would Paladins bring back infernal cheese? Surely that would go against their tenets.:D

    Those cheeses don't sound that appetizing.

    Heh, you read this stuff up from Aurora's Emporium book, eh? Really, the descriptions of cheese-and beverages are top-notch. And to think, BG designers used the various beer-wine names from that book! Excellent! I wish we could buy those cheese in BG, too. :-D Boo would approve, I think. ^^

    @Samus yeah straight from the book 'Aurora's whole realms catalogue' google it for pdf and you will find it. A fun read, not ground breaking or necessary for pnp gaming but it adds a lot of atmosphere and depth to the realms. Ever wondered what does Evermead or Golden sands taste like? Read and find out :-) there is even a bg2 mod called Aurora's shoes, you can find the famous Aurora in Athkathla, buy something from her impressive emporium and chat for a lot of city gossip. She is a very colorful character. ^^
