    2 curiosities:

    -You know Emissary Tar, the lady who is going upstairs at the iron Throne building and ends up murdered and copied by a doppleganger? Her ttile sounds a lot like "M is a retard" . I wonder who M is?

    -The SoD epilogue scene where Corwyn has you cornered in the sewers and then you jump is a clear reference to Harrison Ford's "The fugitive" . I'm old enough to remember it s2

    I'm old enough to remember the original TV series from the 60's.

    If I were a betting man, M is for Minsc. Fully agree about the Corwin scene.

    Not a single female strong enough to throw off the yoke of evil?

    BG2 brings the player to a city of drow, a true hive of scum and villainy. Nearly everyone you meet there is evil. But how close is that "nearly"? How many of the drow you meet in Ust Natha have thrown off the shackles of their society, and are not evil?

    Three. Solaufein, and the two drow torturers who continuously torment a captured djinn near the entrance. It's just a job, after all.

    I mean, doing evil is pretty much a necessity, when you're living in a city like that. Been a while since I read the drizzt books but I seem to recall even he largely had to go along with what his superiors would have him do until he left for the surface world, and he's the very definition of a Good Drow.

    The priest spell Confusion is of the Chaos sphere. But the spell Rigid Thinking is of the Law sphere. Apparently both law and chaos spells can cause confusion.

    Well, that’s certainly confusing.

    That's... not how it's spelled. The word you wrote looks more like a system of government which puts bears in charge - which would be confusing, I grant you.

    Bureaucracy comes from the word bureau. We have one downstairs. It's a type of desk.

    No, he said beaurocracy. Which I believe would be rule by a group of someone's ex-boyfriends.

    It's where you store all your junk, never to see the light of day again. Kinda like what happens when you request something from the government.

    "We'll get right on that Ma'am!" (writes note and sticks it in bottom drawer of bureau - right on top of the last 250 requests).

    This is what happens when you try to type out a word you almost never use. Spellcheck? What's that?

    I can never spell bureaucracy without spellchecking or googling. If I have to use that word in a test I know that's an immediate mark I've lost before even considering if my answer's correct. It's a persistent enough issue that you'd think just through repetition I'd have learned by now but no go.

    On the bright side, you didn't write it in the meme thread, so you won't have to face an avalanche of beaurocracy memes.

    :D Of course not necessarily EX-boyfriends. It could be current boyfriends. Not every girl dumps her current beau when moving on to a new one.

    I was thinking, imagine if Sphere of Chaos were a priest spell.

    Sphere of Chaos
    Sphere: Chaos

    Description: "What do you want me to spell it out for you? It's a sphere made of chaos."

    "But what does it do?"
    "IT DOES CHAOS."

    "You ever looked at a sphere shaped space and thought, 'not enough chaos'? Well this is the spell for you!"
