When I realized that you can scroll down in the list of thief skills when you level up. A whole new world of illusion detecting and successful trap setting opened up for me. If only I could've seen that world through the palms covering my face as I realized how long I had played the game without knowing this basic thing.
Hahaha, that's so funny I want to cry, cry tears of joy! I'm sorry if this is awkward, but I am literally burst-laughing my ass off right now!
This isn't awkward! Who's awkward?? I'm not awkward! YOU are awkward!! Now let's never talk about this again.
Today Neera casted sleep for a group of hobgoblins and gated a nabassu instead! To my surprise Ajantis and my Ranger-Cleric stood their ground and were wearing it down with minor damage (both were level 5) but I my character got the future ghoul look and I had to reload.

You’re not alone, this happened to me to. I was always like, “Damn, thieves are useless!” Yeah...
I don't know if this counts, but my first playthrough of SoA I thought Irenicus was my godfather after he refers to you as "god-child" in the second cutscene.
I was like "damn, he's pretty mean for a godfather. My nuno would never torture me"

AU where Jaheira speaks like Ironicus. "Ah, the Child of Bhaal has awoken."
You think that's bad, I've never been able to finish a tutorial, I tried both the BG1 and the BG2 tutorials back in the day and couldn't figure out how to finish it.
Irenicus? Firkragg? Demogorgon? They have all fallen before my dumb luck.
Tutorials? That's too hard.
Edit/Additional Facepalm Moment: I just realized you were talking about the Prologue, and not the actual tutorial.

I used to think Boring Beetles in IWDee were just really unamused beetles

Well being older I didn't think that.
I did however, think they were useless and nobody liked them hence the name. Consequently never ever considered using Foebane, why on earth would I use a "useless" Bastard Sword? Always got Khilid a different sword as soon as poss, and Ajantis, sod looking at "pips" why would I let my NPC go around with useless swords?

Haha, I didn't actually think that they were born out of wedlock.
My 13 yo self was shocked at the language, however, and I also thought that Minsc said "Full plate and f@$%ing steel!"
This made me initially think that Icewind Dale was a more polite and age-appropriate game.

Yxonumei's (.Y.) quickly dispelled that notion.
I used to use “bastard sword” as a cuss word growing up. “You bastard sword!” My parents were pretty strict on language, so it didn’t fly when they were around. But I always thought I was naughty and rebellious whenever I said it away from them.
Now I just facepalm myself every time I think about it.
In some of my 1st playthroughs 1. I ignored stats 2. I ignored weapon proficiences 3. I just assumed that swords were always better 4. I didn't use autopause (to be fair my mom also didn't use autopause and it turned out okay for her)
During a no reload I once chugged what I thought was a potion of clarity. Turns out I chugged my potion of heroism. Needless to say the sirines charmed me ending the run.
Crawled my way through the slaver compond from the sewers with Anomen, Nalia and Charname. Charname gas been dueled to fighter from thief and hasn't regained thief levels yet. Completely forgot until the last trap on the steps that Nalia has thief skills. left all the chests, especially the trapped chests.
Do you even want to know how many times the repeating trap (coloured snowball things) near the cages ruined my party? Anomen decided to leave the party at one point because of it. What that was all about I still don't know.
I once went to fight Firkragg during Chapter 3 (I was powering through everything prior to Spellhold instead of waiting until Chapter 6 )
Anyways, so I'm using the Rod of Resurrection over and over again which results in an amusing Whack-A-Mole effect with Minsc and Keldorn returning constantly.
Anyway, I finally kill Firkragg but before the battle ends, he gets one hit in on Keldorn that sends him to what the computer registers as -9. I manage to resurrect him, but Keldorn has become completely invisible, including his green circle.
The Tale of Keldorn the Amazing Invisible Paladin lasted until I decided to reload. I then fought Firkragg on Easy since I had already beat him on Core Rules prior.

I wasn't very smart even for a 12 year old.
