    @semiticgod Are you sure he wasn't named after The Ilyich?
    Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov aka Lenin?

    I could paste a few more links for proof. :D

    @semiticgod nice try, I'll give you a like just for the effort. :tongue:

    Did you *actually* know that there is a multiplayer no-reload run starting any day now?

    I don't know who that is, but you shouldn't be mean to her.

    @Grum she is a civil rights activist that lied about her identity and origins.

    God forbid a civil rights activist should blur the lines between black and white.
    (I have some strong feelings about the matter)

    Did you actually know that Sendai "from Amn" you can meet in the Cloudpeak Mountains and Sendai the Bhaalspawn from ToB is actually the same person?

    If you decide to kill Sendai "from Amn" in the Cloudpeak Mountains, you fight only against one of the Sendai's numerous clones.

    If you name your character Drizzt, your race changes to the drow, and you can see it at the character screen after the narrator ends his starting tale.

    In this case when you meet an NPC called Drizzt in both games he reacts angrily, something about that there could be only one, and then you both fight.

    Are you automatically granted two pips in 'Claymore' as well?

    Did you know that being charmed protects you from petrification. Tis true, I swear!

    Finally, Viconia will normally not romance an elf but if you call an elf protagonist Drizzt, she falls in love with you immediately but leaves you for Drizzt Do'Urden when you meet him after the Underdark. But this makes it possible to summon Viconia AND Drizzt from the Fate Spirit in Throne of Bhaal. They will then join the party as an unseparable couple.

    And then they're always sneaking off for a bit of "hanky-panky" just when you need them for a big fight. The micromanagement just isn't worth it.

    If you call your protagonist "Khalid", the Jaheira romance will complete much faster in BG2.

    If you call your protagonist Quayle", Aerie will romance you regardless of gender or race.

    I'd rather not think about some of the implications of those ideas :)

    Did you know if you are wearing the boots of avoidance and the big metal suit you will be renamed "Iron Man"

    If you named your protagonist Tony Stark and equip him with the Big Metal Unit, the Iron Man theme will play whenever you engage in combat.

    There is a secret dialogue option that will allow you to buy turnips from Jan when you first meet him. However, it requires you to first throw the dryads' acorns at Neeber in Trademeet, then pick them up and take them to Spellhold, where Irenicus will politely ask for them back, saying that he will trade you Imoen for them. Turns out, he really misses those dryads.
