I've always thought of pausing the game, saving, and reloading, as the ultimate Time Stop spells. (Much better than the actual spell in the game.)
What if you could stop time and think about what you want to do in real life before you do it? (Come to think of it, there's an animated superhero parody on Hulu called "The Awesomes" where the main hero does just that. It gives him nosebleeds, though.)
And, every Charname, even the lowliest fighter with bad stats, can reverse Time itself as many times a day as he or she wants, even at the moment of death. Talk about invulnerability and immortality! Nyah, nyah, eat your hearts out, 18th level mages!
It's like having innately cast 10th level spells, "Manipulate Time and Space", "Alter Reality", and "Change History", that can be cast unlimited times per day. Talk about unbalanced!
In case anyone forgot the name of the annoying halfling who pickpockets from you, it's Perdue. Burn that into your memory. That's my booze money you stole, jerk!
Nope, that's Zhurlong. Perdue's the one that wants you to wipe the gnoll's arse.

Not sure if this counts as a random though but: does anyone else find the chunking sound effect oddly satisfying? Even after a million repeats it still makes me laugh like someone with an intelligence score of 3.
The visual feedback of having chunks of mean fly all over the place also carries a certain satisfaction value, but that's a story for another day.
I always figured it was some sort of shaman/sacrifice thing. "Yes Nexlit, the animal spirits will allow you to summon a bear if the murderhoboes threaten your tribe, but your life will be forfeit."

Mod idea: Nexlit the Shaman.
I guess so. But the way the xvart says Ursa is kind and stuff only for it to bee-line through my party just to beat the living crap out of poor Nexlit.
Random thought that just hit me since I restarted with a halfling fighter/thief... why in the nine hells did they not make a Cleric of Oghma kit? You start in Candlekeep, the source of pretty much any knowledge you could want, with a freakin' temple to Oghma right there in the premises!
Plus, Oghma is a neutral god, and pretty much gives no crap about one's alignment.
Hrm... well... the first ability would probably be Identify that you get more "free" casts of as you level, since that just simply makes sense for a priest of the god of knowledge.
I'll have to sleep on the second ability, see what comes to me.

Golden pantaloons! All my life I've wanted golden pantaloons!
P.S. I cannot wear golden pantaloons.

edit: For future reference, it is the fenced two-story just NE of Thundersmithy. Only had to knock on a quarter of the houses in Beregost for that.

Just odd. Always thought it was a bug in vanilla.
I had no idea this dialog existed. Now I know what all the cool kids are talking about with their 'grass monkey' references.
One of these days I am going to find the super fabulous secret treasure that is hidden in one of the random encounter maps. I know it.

Ursa stole some of my kills, but I got to slaughter a whole xvart village, so it's ok!
...
...
Wow, did I just go through and slaughter a whole xvart village? That is cold-blooded.
Oh well, it's just xvarts.
