I clicked on that screenshot and it said "baldr123.bmp" which means you've taken over 100 screenshots of Baldur's Gate 1 alone. That's several hundred megabytes worth of screenshots!

I take 100 screenshots in a single BG1 game, though I don't post them all. It's the reason why I have to keep emptying my recycle bin.
Suchards, Cadburys, Rowntrees, Thorntons etc. etc.
I only ever heard of Cadburys and even that one is a rare find here ._.
Suchards were the Swiss firm that started making Milka. The others were all started by Quaker families in the UK and had a great reputation for looking after their workers. The Unions didn't like them as the workers wouldn't join them due to being so well looked after.
Rowntrees and Thorntons were both based in York and were great. Rowntrees were taken over by Nestle. Thorntons were taken over last year but have kept the same name. Sadly a lot of their chocolate is no longer made in the UK though.

Well, it has been 5 years since I bought the game, so it ain't really much, but I sure love a good screenshot.
@Vallmyr I just finished watching it, that was awesome.
Yeah even with my only knowledge of the Dragonlance stories being the first book and the 3.5 D&D campaign setting book I still could follow the story quite well and liked it a lot!
Long ago in the original release of SoA, before any patches I experienced a very weird thing. If you fought a lich for a long time, it would at some point, cast a spell called "Destroy Undead" or possibly "Destroy All Undead", which did literally just that, starting with the lich himself.
Never was able to reproduce that later, or find the spell in the game files with the editors. But somehow I am still certain that this happened. I also think you did not get any XP for that, so it was a mixed blessing.
I really wish no one had ever mentioned this. I travelled up to London for the weekend to see the LotR cartoon (the one that stopped at Helm's Deep) when it first came out - and I've been trying to forget it ever since.
Rijek Hidesman is arbitrarily invincible if you attack him in his shop. If you're really unlucky, he'll start attacking you in return, and then follow you out of his shop when you try to leave, and then next thing you know, this is happening:
Faldorn is one of the more powerful BG1 NPC's. On top of being able to reach level 4 druid spells, giving access to the dryad with spells like confusion, domination, and mass cure, her Dread Wolf can be summoned in shapeshifted form, and with 4 attacks per round, gives Rasaad a run for his combat money despite being a primarily supportive caster.

Curious. If you somehow do manage to kill Rejiek, there's another ending to the Skinner Murders quest; Lieutenant Aegisfield (or, if he's dead, Chief Inspector Brega) gives you the reward, with additional dialogue about Rejiek being dead. Also, depending on your dialogue options with Aegisfield (though not with Brega) you can actually lose a point of reputation for killing Rejiek, because, in Aegisfield's words, "you may not like being known as a brutal bounty hunter".

Using teleport field in the amalas duel is... not recommended. Amalas may end up on the wrong side of the arena wall.
Enable the debug console in baldur.ini or else you are trapped in there forever.
It is the history of the Chocolate factories and what they were built on, and then what they have become.
Figuring this is did you know.. it's still on topic
Did you know: Russia made a Dragonlance Musical. Subtitles included.
