1) I am trapped in a far place, frightening but wondrous ... it is interesting. 2) A brave Knight I am ... though you may think me a coward. 3) My brother is a Wizard, though you know him not ... nor Elric.
Well, another one which I thought was pretty easy and obvious which evidently isn't so easy as I thought ... there does seem to be a problem here, most people's riddles are turning out to be either solved-in-an-instant or harder-than-intended ... the Balance is difficult to achieve!
So okay, hint time.
The first is pretty much quoting the character - partly paraphrased, partly literal quotation. The second isn't a quotation, but is a simple literal clue. The third begins literally but ends cryptically.
A Monte Carlo simulation in place of an analytical methodology ... but yes, Onvo!
1) Onvo's dialogue explains that he's from a distant plane, so his current location is a far place from his home, but he describes his current location as "frightening but wondrous" and "most interesting".
2) Onvo's dialogue explains that he's a Knight, yet makes him seem distinctly cowardly about facing the feral halflings (although he'll fight you if you accuse him of cowardice).
3) The key clue which uniquely identifies Onvo is that his dialogue mentions that his brother Elic trained as a wizard ... and "nor Elric" is a cryptic clue for "no r Elric".
1. I know a bit of everything, from money to law to crime--if not the greatest power. 2. I can answer your most important questions, but it won't be enough to help you. 3. Many know me for my "medicine," though few would dare to speak of it.
@semiticgod - Haspur is the Seer in the divination tent in Baldur's Gate marketplace. So yes, BG1.
Erm ... since this thread is called "Baldur's Gate Who Am I?", may we further assume that it's a SoD or BG2 character rather than (say) an IWD character? (If it's IWD, then I'm stuck since I very rarely play that.)
1. He knows a lot of things, but he says he doesn't know much about magic.
2. He can actually tell you about Spellhold and explicitly suggests Imoen was sent there, but you still need Bodhi or the Shadow Thieves to help you get there.
3. He sells guril berries, which are used as a remedy for "intimate afflictions."
4 and 5. He helps you get guril berries, solik berries, and oak bark for Rose Bouquet so she can identify the smell. In fact, he asks you "Locally?" when you first ask him about what smells like guril berries, which suggests that he can name even more things, foreign products, that have the same smell. The man must have a spectacular nose.
Bel Dalemark is just a small-time peddler, but he's also one of the most knowledgeable folks in all of Athkatla.
Even though I named the exact solution first, it was @Neverused who first saw the essential connection and provided the inspiration for the solution. I'd feel as if I were stealing it from @Neverused if I counted myself as winner.
I therefore suggest that we count @Neverused as the proper winner of that one. Your turn, @Neverused!
*shrugs* I wouldn't have minded if you did it, @Gallowglass , but I have one anyways... Let's see...
1. Heads or tails? I choose neither! 2. I particularly dislike it when bugs steals dairy products, but there's something worse. 3. Though before I saw none, now I see two.
Edit: I just remembered my install's pretty modified... Here's hoping these particular dialogue lines actually exist!

Oh heck, now I guess I've got to try and think of yet another riddle! Hmmm ... give me a few minutes ...

@semiticgod is up next!

One more clue: since I almost never play BG1, you can go ahead and assume I'm always talking about somebody from one of the other IE games.

But anyway, that doesn't apply in the present case, so I'll go back to waiting for inspiration to strike ...
4. I really have a nose for my business.

2) I'm selling my goods, but I'll soon sell out.
3) I value my freedom, but not that of others.
