If today or tomorrow you create a full party of a human and several elves they will turn into Santa Clause and his helpers when you start the game.
All weapons wel be replaced with rubber toys and enemies jingle when you hit them, spray angel dust and snow instead of blood. When they 'fake die' an angel will fly into the sky using the solar animation.
All romance npcs will carry mistletoe to progress the romance track immediately to the end.
If you encounter Nyalee in Throne of Bhaal on December 25 the background music changes to Wham!'s Last Christmas. "Last Christmas I gave you my heart. But the very next day you gave it away"
Bhaal was not your father. That was actually Semuanya, the lizardfolk deity of survival and propagation. Nobody however has been wanting to tell you that, mostly to avoid some awkward conversations, so they spend the series playing along with it. Even Irenicus.

Did you know that despite what the description in its item tooltip suggests, the rabbit familiar in EE actually has the highest overall best thief skills of any familiar?
If you add it to party with Ctrl+Q you'll see that this is due to the fact that it has Alora's "Rabbit Foot" ring in both slots, which in the Enhanced Edition give it a whopping +20 in every thief skill except Open Locks.
Moderators spend most of their time gossiping about forumites behind their backs and playing "shag, marry, kill."
Currently, @Zaghoul is at the top of the secret, moderator-exclusive "Hottest Forumites" list because of that great manly beard of his.
Did you *actually* know my chin is a bald as a bowling bowl now and that the black helicopter @mlnevese mentioned was *actually* coming for me. Apparently I had forgotten I placed a tiny 'in case of razor approach' microchip deep within my whiskers instructing said helicopter to send someone to whip my butt if I ever thought of shavin.
Climb walls (an ability once mentioned in the original BG2 manual) was actually a feat featured in pre-release version of the original games. However, since it would have allowed a similar attack bonus as stealth it was deemed to be redundant and was removed. There is however still evidence of it's existence in the CLIMB.2DA file.

Enabling wall climbing was also the devs idea of making Baldurs Gate accessible before chapter
You could enter the city, but only if: 1) your climb wall skill was more than 50, 2) you climbed the wall at night, and 3) had infravision (which is why the helmet and potions of infravision are present in the game).
In the latest livestream it was finally reveiled why and whats keeping version 2.5 from being released.
To no ones surprise it was the “the Shaman doesnt dance” problem that has been causing the delay. The Beamdog brass had to travel around the world to study shamanic dance - to get inspiration. After intense study BD has finally come up with a authentic shamanic dance.
If you beat Baldur's Gate 2 without dying, you get to ride Yoshi at the end.
And if you beat the Shadows of Amn without a single party member getting hurt you unlock Bowser as a companion. You can find him in a cage in Amkethran (and nobody really knows what to make of him).
You didn't actually save Rielev in Chateau Irenicus. Rielev's unit has a backup energy source: 5 minutes after you leave his room, he wakes up again, and is in horrible pain just like before.
But if you have 21 Intelligence in ToB (a Potion of Genius works fine), you can go back to Rielev's room via a special dialogue option in the Pocket Plane, and finally release him from his suffering by shutting down his unit.
Or, if you're a wizard or a thief with the Alchemy HLA, you have another option instead: you can transport one of the preserved bodies from the tanks in the other room, and Rielev the Pickle will be able to spend the rest of eternity with his soulmate: a sexy lady pickle named Cucumbria.
This is the expression he makes when he first sees Cucumbria.
At any one time there are three monks in the library of Candlekeep tasked with writing down the names of all known dragons in Faerun.
Currently they are still stuck on how to spell Thaxll'ssillyia
And then they've got to work on the pronunciation guide.
Meanwhile, they are constantly hounded about the translations to other languages, and why do they insist on using a scroll medium instead of this other medium that I use?
Hidden within Tales of the Sword Coast's files is a demo created for another expansion that was intended for BG1. In it you would have traveled to Waterdeep to hunt down the perpetrators behind an attempted assassin of Lord Piergeiron.
The attempted assassin itself however is actually referenced by the Waterdeep soldiers in chapter 10 of Siege of Dragonspear.
Early in BG's development, Boo was a guinea pig. For PR reasons, Bioware had to change him into a hamster, lest they be accused of capitalizing on the then-devastating giant guinea pig attacks that left major American cities in shambles.

At 0:40 @TentOister succesfully summoned 3 nymphs.. way to go Tent
Seriously, just look at him!
I mean, what, what the hell even is he? What is that?
You can't explain that. Science can't explain that.
