Holy sh*t. NIMBUL is awesome. Charm him. Her has four other *voiced* lines and if you talk to him: O_o
Makes me wonder if any of the other bounty hunters have unique lines when you charm them....
@deltago no. Doesn't look like it. I didn't try everybody, but Neira, tarnesh, and karat(er.... Beregost dwarf) just repeat thier dialog and turn hostile. Nothing special, no extra voiced lines.
Did you know that the Imoen file you encounter in Candlekeep is actually mechanically a mage, not a thief?
Her stats are also different.
STR: 12 DEX: 10 CON: 9 INT: 12 WIS: 12 CHR: 10
Well, this explains a lot. Clearly, the Imoen who meets you on the Coast Way was actually a Doppelganger with munchkined out stats, and the girl you grew up with was just an ordinary mage student, no Bhaal essence or anything. Gotta respect the shapeshifter's willingness to stay in character the whole trilogy, honestly.

O_o Why!?
Well as I understand it she was a last minute addition and what little verbal dialogue she has is based off some scrapped demo. In all likelihood they didn't think too much into what her class or stats were since they didn't expect her to be a companion (she also doesn't have any spells).
Did you know, that if you wander off while Jondolar and Erik are attacking you the Watchers will beat them death with sticks in some sort of vicious frenzy? Here I was thinking Candlekeep was a nice safe place. . .
I think that is a bug that was introduced by EE.
Another bug is that if you are a cleric and "command" Jondolar to sleep, there is a strong (though not entirely certain) probability that he will remain hostile rather than give the dialogue that ends the combat, and will continue to fight you until you kill both him and Erik. Both of them seem to have a lot of HPs and take a while to kill, but their own blows won't hurt you. When this happens, I just pretend that it turned out that both of them were assassins who set me up under the pretense of "training" me. You also get a fair amount of XPs for killing them both.
Hahah @Dragonspear, Did you know that is actually the portrait of Jairyanna Cavalieria, Paladin Extraordinaire, defender of the downtrodden and keeper of the truth.
It is possible to kill gorion before leaving candlekeep. Atleast in original game. You have to deal alot of dmg fast. 200? 300? Ive done it for laughs with a char i imported.
If you dont kill him fast he lightinc bolts you and you die from it no matter hp. The game ends no matter what though.
Did you know that Tethtorill is a freakin' badass-and-a-half?? This person charmed Gorion into attacking Teth, who then annihilated Gorion with a singe lightning strike out of the sky!
"FIRST READER TETHTORIL (LG hm P18 of Mystra; STR 16, INT 18, WIS 18, CON 16, CHA 16). This tall, impressive, wise, and soft-spoken man is often mistaken for the Keeper of Tomes of Candlekeep. He is more intelligent, regal, and sensitive than his superior Ulraunt, by far and Ulraunt knows it. Yet Tethtoril is unfailingly loyal, thoughtful, and diligent in his duties, often anticipating troubles and preparing beforehand to spare Candlekeep troubles or Ulraunt any embarrassment.
Most Holy Mystra often whispers to Tethoril in his dreams, bidding him to do this or that and in this way has led him to unearth key spells from forgotten tomes; kept Elminster, Khelben, and the Harpers welcomed or at least, tolerated in Candlekeep; and kept Ulraunt from being seduced by darker powers (most recently, Cyric). In this, Mystra is aided by both Deneir and Oghma.
Although he doesnt know it, Tethtoril is one of the safest people in all the Realms. Three deities will protect him against any attack, manifesting as: whatever spell is needed (Mystra); a wall of force conjured by a shadowy floating harp (Oghma); or a suddenly appearing magical symbol (effects identical to the wizard spell of the same name) of one of the known types that flashes and discharges in his defense immediately after it is seen (Deneir). All three deities subtly aid Tethtoril in puzzling out the meaning of cryptic, faded, fragmentary, or forgotten script writings. It is this superlative ability to decipher writings that has led to Tethtorils present rank."
So basically Tethtoril is getting a bit of extra help there

Did you know she has a sister named Kristin?
To me, looks more like a sister of Viconia's model
Did you know in Icewind Dale II's Shaerngarne River area, there's a bit where you have to rescue some peasants from orcs. And one of the things they can say afterwards is "I thank you for my freedom, friend." much like Xan's opening quote in BG. Coincidence or intended?

Did you know that Sweden pays high school students $187 per month to attend school?
Did you know that more Americans live in Mexico City than Wyoming?
Apparently the other tenants don't like it when plaster rains from the wall and ceilings.
So they are langushing in storage at my mothers rather then in my house rocking out on Saturday mornings.
What did a cat and the Pearls ever do to anyone else?!

That's why his animation holds it with one hand. ;D

Hrmph. Powergamers.
I always wondered why no one dared mock Teth for wandering aimlessly around a closed library all day long.

The original portrait for the NPC Sharwyn in NWN1 had been far too close to Catherine Zeta Jones. The portrait was replaced when the game was patched:
Or Boddyknock Glickle's (also a companion from NwN1) original portrait is based on spock.
Or that an elven portrait (used by Formosa in NwN1) is based on Angelina Jolie?
Or this one:
