Oh on another subject of Imoen. In Bg1 in candlekeep she says she isn't much younger than the charaname. But when your romancing Vicky you tell her you're the same age as Imoen.
This is fairly easily explained by her being less than a year younger than you, maybe a few months or so. That way she is both the same age (e.g. 20), but is also 'not much younger' than you.
Something I totally missed so far: The Beholder in Black Pits says "Winter is coming". If only there was a way to take his head off...
In the book "Game of Thrones" the Phrase from the house of Stark, is "Winter is Coming".
I think KidCarnival knows that. Hence why he was comparing what he would like to do to the Beholder with the fate of a certain Stark who shall go unnamed.
One of your opponents in the Black Pits is a druid named Parker who summons spiders. The name of that fight (when you talk to Baeloth to re-fight previous battles) is something like "your friendly neighborhood Spiderman"... and Peter Parker is Spiderman's real name :P

In one of the Spiderman movies he actually calls himself "your friendly neighborhood Spiderman" when fighting in an arena.

I was completing the Marek and Lothander quest, it is the quest where two assasins from the Iron Throne poison you. I then had a dastardly thought, can I kill Marek and get his boots of speed as he runs off?
You may simply kill both Marek and Lothander and get that handy boots from start as far as you've entered the city. Just do not talk to them, strike.
Shandalar, the name may have been inspired from MTG the PC game.
To elaborate on this:
Magic: the Gathering, the collectible card game, once had a PC game that wasn't Duels of the Planeswalkers (the current one). It was made by Microprose, and was set on a plane named Shandalar. In that game, it was said to be so rich in mana that people used high-level spells as everyday conveniences, and that the plane itself followed an erratic path through the multiverse, in contrast with others whose locations were predictable.
Interestingly, the recent Magic core sets (since 2010) are also set on Shandalar, but its portrayal is somewhat different: there's no mention of the excessive mana, nor of most of the characters and locations from the PC game.
While travelling you might meet a person called "Peter from the North". Without any doubt this is a reference for the famous pornstar "Peter North", also called "the Cumshotmaster" or "the Decorator"... Come on guys, you all know who he is, don't play dumb lol
Haha, yeah, I've thought of that too - especially since the conversation with him contains lines like "Far be it from me to get between a man and his wood... so to speak". Far-seeing reference if it's true, given that North likely wasn't much of a pop culture phenomenon back then.
I know this is coming late - no pun intended - but "back then" he was ALREADY a "cultural icon" (of sorts). And had been for awhile. Take it from someone who was living at the time (and of age, unlike some of his "co-stars").
You know he wrote a book? It's called "Penetrating Insights".
I don't know if this has been suggested already: Do you think Kivan's 18/12 strength refers to the war of 1812? (Where Canadian and British troops burned down the White House.)

But to answer your question without putting in a random youtube video probably not.
And Ironic. The Star Spangled Banner was written during the war of 1812. I'd also suggest reading Pierre Burton's Invasion of Canada and Flames Across the Border for more knowledge regarding this war. Burton is an extremely good read.
On topic, I think it might just be a coincidence that his Strength is 18/12. I'd be more in favor of this if he had the ability to create flame arrows or did/said something else relating to the war (Or even having a stereotypical Canadian accent).

(The last one with apologies - I wrongfully attributed it to Valygar earlier in this thread.)
You meet Ragefast's nephew at the friendly arm inn
if you attack Elminster, he will turn you into a chicken, it can't be removed with Remove Curse nor Dispel Magic, it wants out when you sleip.
Can't you go to Thylanter with a skull and get anti-chickenater like he does with Melicamp?

If you could would you really want to risk it?
