    If you Ctrl+q The Surgeon into your party and then enter Davaeorn's lair, a special dialogue triggers and both casters automatically turn berserk and hit each other with unarmed combat. If the Surgeon wins, he gives you an additional Cloak of balduran and leaves Stephan the killing blow (no XP given).

    Krystin's last name is Honey. Slythe's nasty manners are only a ruse; they're actually cousins.

    Did you actually know that I have just surpassed the Great, the Highest, the Sublime @David_Gaider in This Week's Leaders rank?
    Did you actually know that now Beamdog will drop him and hire me to create BGnext?
    I have great ideas about it: BG3, The Rescue of Camambert, save the cheese from the mean Gorgonzola monster, that want to corrupt it with his rotten mold, and his Dirty Rat servants.
    Only cheesy tactics will be available to the player, all the legittimate and fair ones will be treated as bugs and heavily nerfed.
    Obviously both touch pad and keyboard support will be no available, will be only possible to play it with a mouse......

    Did you actually know that once you have found the documents incriminating Mae'Var, you can confront him instead of bringing the documents to Renal Bloodscalp? If you do (and are polite about it!), Mae'Var will make you a partner in his "business". You won't get the thief stronghold but Mae'Var will pay you 10,000 GP per month for being a good sport.

    Chaotic Neutral mages can get an infinite supply of lucky rabbit feet using Find Familiar.

    Did you actually know that Baldur's Gate II was originally going to be released as two games - Baldur's Gate II Red and Baldur's Gate II Blue, but only the red version was ever released?

    In the blue version...


    Dynaheir survives but Minsc is killed by Irenicus;
    Khalid survives but Jaheira is killed by Irenicus;
    Drepin breaks you out of the cage at the start by getting Nessa the cow to charge it, and is your Bhaalspawned half-brother;
    Tiax joined the circus and has a forlorn, aquatic elf, Fighter/Rogue adoptive son who can join your party (and keep reminding you that he lost his fins);
    Branwen returns instead of Viconia, having once again been turned to stone;
    Xan returns instead of Edwin, and is just as gloomy as ever;
    and...
    Firkraag doesn't appear, but you can fight a blue dragon called Gaarkirf.

    Notice that the colours of the dragons correspond to the colours of the versions?
    Did you *actually* know that I'd just hate to see the "blue version" released? :wink:

    The Burning Wizard is named after one of the mages who studied at the mage school that once existed east of Beregost. Locals at the time reported seeing this wizard hit by a spectacular fireball at the time of the schools destruction. This blast was followed by the wizard running around screeching in pain.

    Was this mage somehow a Neera's cousin?

    If it was Neera's cousin it would have been a wild surge and the wizard would have run around screaming in joy.

    Well that was 200 years prior to BG1 and it would have been a Calishite mages attacking him...so probably not (since they likely would have been humans or half elves).

    Xan is immune to the spell Emotion: Hopelessness because he is already permanently in that state anyway and it hasn't stopped him yet...

    Similarly, Xzar is immune to fear because...well he is already so insane that it just doesn't work on him.
