...Durlag seems like he could have eaten Demogorgon for breakfast. Seriously.
Wish we could see his stats and equipment at his peak.
What we know...
(1) High physical and magic resistance (waded through a Drow army, solo'd the dragon above (2) Fire resistance (flames were a gentle breeze) (3) Psionic resistance (mind flayers were sent running from his tower) (4) Easy access to flaming or acid damage (just look at his name)
Okay, but did anybody else notice that the skelleton is missing wings? And why does it have ribs on his tail?
That's not a dragon, that is some sort of pre-historical giant snake-precursor monster and Durlag didn't kill it, he just dug up it's skelleton.
Could be an extinct, or exceedingly rare, land-based dragon. Tail structure like that indicate its tail was used as a club and the rib-like structures either reinforced the tail or helped prevent muscle damage or provided extra muscle and ligament attachments. I hereby dub this species dinoclubtailus durlagii. Or not.
- In Waukeen's Promenade during daytime hours you can hear a female voice shouting, "Iridium for sale! Pure iridium!" This is the voice of Jerlia the ore merchant who will help you during the Sir Sarles quest. Of course, the metal she ultimately gives you is called illithium, not iridium which is a real-life metal.
- (Bit of a bizarre one here) On the Umar hills map (daytime) you might overhear a man and a woman debating the relative attractiveness of English and Irish men. Can't make out the full exchange but it goes something like...
Woman: Well I find the Irish a damn sight more attractive than the English I'll have you know

PS: I need every Irish and English person on the forum to come in here and discuss this asap. For science.

Speaking as an English man, I've had very mixed reviews in that department.
And since i'm here...

Why not Thagomizeri durlacium? (or whatever the declension of Thagomizer would be)

Because I want to hear David Attenborough say "dinoclubtailus" in a documentary on fantasy monsters.
Did you know many player-esque opponents in BG1ee are well beyond the experience cap?
For instance Slythe is a level 13 thief, Cythandria's chromatic orbs can petrify and the Cult Wizard creates the maximum ammount of mirror images allowed.

And Davaeorn is level 10-11 if I recall correctly, and Sarevok is level 15, yeah.
Did you know Shank and Carbos' daggers are specifically designed to only deal one point of damage at all times?
(though Im not sure about the difficulty modifiers)
Say what? I just started an Enchanter run the other day, and Carbos hit me for five damage in one hit on Core. (And to think I was considering settling for 15 Con for a bit).
In Korlaz's Tomb, not only can you cheese your way through most of it through thief skills and invisibility, 10' radius, but you still get normal xp for basically every enemy you bypass.
Englishmen are much better kissers. Australia, Canada and most of the inhabitants of the USA have had a little English in them due to this fact...
But the Irish men are more attractive. Especially after a pint of Guinness. Actually most people are attractive after two pints. I would probably marry you after three.
Unfortunately this is all theory as most girls run off with the Italian selling ice-cream whilst the frenchmen went outside for a smoke... The Germans of course failing to even get an invite...

Must have been really, really cheesed out.
I'm guessing he was playing with story mode turned on.
Game Informer published an interview with Chris Avellone earlier this month, where he speaks about his time at Interplay and later Obsidian, about the games he worked on and influenced him and how, about his general thoughts on the industry and it's history and how he likes to drink coffee mixed with monster and coke zero.

(though Im not sure about the difficulty modifiers)
I have deliberately given them and Mendas (An assassin in Candlekeep introduced by a mod) more powerful weapons to make them both dangerous and worth fighting. Mendas is particularly dangerous as I have made him resistant to magic.
I don't know about you, but I never drink potions that aren't the standard color. They're always cursed somehow, and rarely do what they're supposed to.

I used to drink them all to test the effects. My first character even ate the flowers Delainy gave him. She must have wondered what kind of ungrateful weirdo she was flirting with. And regretted the whole flirting thing.
On topic: did you know that the flowers Delayiny/Durlyle gives you are deadly nightshades? Did you know that deadly nightshade is very, very toxic? Charname knows.

What mod is that, out of curiosity?
Mendas is in Dark Horizons. However I edited him in Shadowkeeper to increase his abilities.

That GIF sums it all up quite adequately, though.
