Did you know that there is a second entrance to the Temple of Umberlee in Baldur's Gate?
While being easy to miss, this entrance goes directly to the living quarters, allowing you to talk to the high priestess without talking to (or facing) the clerics in the temple. Unless you have one of the quests anything you say to her ends up with her attacking, but you can still loot the items off her corpse same as always.
Did you know that the Godbow, like many such items, is detected at the start of BGII? Having the bow in your inventory causes a note by Irenicus to be added to the library shelves in the North West, marvelling at its power and wondering what the player sacrificed to come across such an item.
Also like such items, this item is added to the inventory of another character, in this case Neeber, who will be hostile.
Did you know that Marl, the disgruntled farmer in Beregost, has additional dialogue if knocked unconscious with non-lethal damage? Choosing to end the encounter in this manner leads him to skulk away in disgrace, netting the player the same 900 Exp as if they'd talked him down in the first place.
Of course if you're quick enough you can also kill him as he's leaving (which should be easy considering he has 1 HP left), netting you an additional 650 Exp with no reputation loss, even in the EE version.
A rare dialog, which only activates in the Low Lantern, results in Xxar stripping off his robe and dancing seductively for Desreta. The player must make a save vs. petrification or be struck permanently blind.

I'll have nightmares with this scene for weeks. Thank you

Obligatory "I just failed a save for petrification in my pantaloons!" joke here.

Remember to use Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity on Xzar before you enter Low Lantern.
Did you know that every thief can hide in view of enemies like the Shadowdancer?
The engine actually applies a -200 penalty to Hide in Shadows and Move Silently if the thief can see an enemy (hence why blind thieves can hide normally - they can't see the enemy and don't get the penalty). While this renders hiding impossible normally, a thief with over 200 in each skill can actually succeed in their hide attempt so long as they're in the shadows, though you'll never have more than a 55% chance to succeed (at 255 in each skill, if you exceed 255 then the skill will overflow back to 0).
Elminster was scheduled to appear in Siege of Dragonspear, but got caught up in a conflicting schedule and was forced to cancel his appearance at the last minute. Nüber stepped in for him.
In the German version of BG:EE you can get Thalantyr to cast the Antichickenator (in German: Antihasenfußgenerator - Anti-rabbitfoot-generator) spell on Alora. This makes it possible to remove her rabbit foot from her inventory and add it to your own.

But do you still get it if she survives her system shock roll?

Proof: Last time I fought him, he cast Silence on Anomen and Jaheira.
He tasted like chicken.
