Did you know that the waterfall southwest of Nashkel contains two items. The first is a dead cat for a quest in the area. The second is an invisible item. Its actually a ring of invisibility whose item file is broken (so it doesn't have the correct inventory look).
The 208 Ziose gems found in Baldur's Gate represent the 208 souls lost during the Battle of Ardeep Forest. Areana has stolen them from the City of Waterdeep, and Cyrdemac has been blackmailing her as long as she has them in her possession.

That is interesting if true, and would actually count as something I didn't know. Any evidence for this, especially that it was any kind of design intent? Online details about the whole thing seem scarce.
Damn, I must have mixed it up with the other thread. For a minute I figured it was a more hardcore version of that, bringing only developer-grade insight to bear. I guess that's what I get for jumping directly to the last posts.
Did you ACTUALLY know the Nameless One's real name is Floyd?
Adahn was one of the Nameless One's childhood friends. Adahn the Imagined was his imaginary friend after Adahn left for college.
There is a hidden "Player's Maze 2". You can only reach it if you FIRST get mazed by the Lady of Pain for praying to (or mocking) a Lady of Pain doll, and THEN become a worshiper of Aoskar.
The Scroll of Enoll Eva Duplication is named after Eva Enoll, Chris Avellone's childhood crush.
The crime that the Nameless One committed, which condemned him to the lower planes for eternity, was that he OK'd the release of Windows 98 to the market.
The one thing that can really change the nature of a man is chocolate cookies.
The girdle found in the sack of grains behind the Travenhurst manor in Beregost actually belongs to the son of Lord Travenhurst, who was recently killed fighting gibberlings north of the town. His last words were reportedly "Its just gibberlings. How bad could they be?"
If you beat Throne of Bhaal with a character named Abdel you will unlock a secret cow level. The cows aren't hostile or anything, its just a field full of cows and one farmer named "Ned".
Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast mentions that there may be a secret passage at the back of the Red Sheaf Inn in Beregost. According to Volo local legend says that it actually leads down to an old smugglers warehouse. The interesting thing is that if you are patient enough you can actually even see the secret door's outline in the game.
All NPCs in BG2 were supposed to be romanceable, and each one was designed according to the theme of a niche fetish. Aerie, Imoen, and Cernd were the star examples, but the others also had more subtle themes.
I'd elaborate but the backstories are a little graphic and I'm already on thin ice with the moderators ever since my argument with @Blackraven about how Bounty Hunter traps work.

Only if you call your charname Abdel and choose a Mike Sass portrait for him.
The diggers at the Archaelogical Site in BG1 mention that Astor went missing. In reality he fled after realizing who Kozah really is. You can find him in the Nashkel Carnival (no doubt recovering from his ordeal).
Actually the "Elminster" in the BG series is his stunt double. The real @Elminster didn't have time to appear, because he was busy finishing chapter 267 of his memoirs.
If you're lucky enough, you can get a "gnoll's head" as a random drop on gnolls. The chance is 1/1000 percent. If you have this item in your inventory while talking to Perdue, he'll give you 1000 XP.
Have you heard about the hidden item Life Ring? Wearing it enhances ones Saving Throws! Rumours has it that the ring was created by Aec'Letec, who suffered aquaphobia ever since visiting one of Demogorgon's birthday parties.
So long as you are in Chapter 6, you can bring the Golden Arms and Legs and the Golden Torso to Cromwell, who will melt them down into pure gold and split the profit with you (5,000 GP, you can intimidate him into getting all of it, but he won't forge items for you anymore if you do). More importantly, he'll pass over "some ring he found" on the finger.
After this you can return to Kangaxx's tomb and taunt him about it, but there's no reward for doing so.

Likewise, if you hold shift while clicking an item, you'll default to selling the whole stack, saving you even more time.
