    I do too. I keep it until the end of the game.

    @Samus Well, If you read Dradeel's logbook carefully you will notice that he says it can be used to deter the werewolf curse if you get infected. If you eat one by putting it in the quick item slot it will poison you but supposedly give you more time before your party transforms. Not sure if this works or not but that is what it is supposed to do.

    Well, um.. how should I put this; Lady's elements are pure lunacy; deadly, too.

    LOL. I'm a BG packrat too.

    I hold onto everything that could be useful. I keep a stash in a Baldurs Gate or Amn (in bg2) so that I can get it if ever I need it.

    In just about every RPG I play I end up, near the end, trying to choose between my large amount of useless quest mementos (including keys) and freeing up space for new things. Luckaly most modern games have homes and strongholds that I can store all my mementos.

    ...I just realized I'm the kind of person that Hearthfire in Skyrim was made for.

    I have never used the flowers, didn't know they could be used.

    You know, a belladonna is a real plant. It is a creeping poisonous weed with a pungent smell.

    Here is an image of the belladonna known as "deadly nightshade" which is common where I live.

    On the other hand, it's commonly accepted though that belladonna is werewolf repellant. So you could say there are pros and cons of deadly nightshade.

    Tomatos are a member of the Nightshade Family. For a long, long, loooong time people thought they were poisonous because of it. Someone must've been reallllly hungry to eat the first tomato.

    @CaptRory Even I didn't know that!

    So are potato's and eggplants. One of the reasons your not supposed to eat potatoes that have gone slightly green on the skin.

    @Tresset Do you for how long the curse is postponed?
  • TressetTresset Member, Moderator Posts: 8,268
    @Loremaster I have no idea. Not even sure it works at all. It can't put it off for very long though.

    @mashedtaters The absolute best place for your stash in BG2 is actually Watcher's Keep. Think about it...

    Watcher's Keep is the only place that exists in both SoA and ToB. If you stash stuff there during SoA then you get to keep your stash once you move to ToB!
    Wow...I feel like such a moron for not realizing this before...but now I love you.

    I always kept mine, too, and edited them into linked BG II games, along with the Autograph and Gorion's notes. And The MDK2 Spell.

    @SCARY_WIZARD What is that MDK2 thing supposed to do? All it does for me is crash the game.

    They are supposed to help you in case you are infected with lycanthropy but I don't think that was implemented. Still, they do have a purpose--someone asks you for some.....

    Eggplants are poisonous if you don't cook them. And potatos nearly ended the Spanish monarchy because they ate the wrong part of the plant :P
