555. Some point later down in your life, you sorrowfully realize, that ALL your childhood friends and memories had been faked and manipulated, all of those people and persons important to you had actually been dreadful monsters (greater doppelgangers), that actually want to see you imprisoned, dead, or both, and even worked in secret towards these ends... And you are faced with a choice. Become the lord of murder himself, ascend to divinity, and bathe in their dirty blood, or hug your cute little aerie, and flee from everyone and everything, abandoning your heritage, your inheritence, and everything else alike...
552: When asked about your religious affiliation, you answer "Lathander", "Helm", "Talos" or "Tiax Rules!"
No joke, during the last census I put "Hobbit" as my race. Putting "Bhaal, Lord of Murder" for religion would probably get me put on a watchlist, though...
563. When a friend refuses to tell you what he/she did on their day off you respond by saying "Puff-guts would always tell me a story"
564. When a police officer is a arresting a criminal suddenly yell "Good on you if you save the day!" "Gorion would be proud!"
565. When a coworker or a friend asked you if you did anything new and you begin to talk about your latest run in Bg and your friend interrupts you mid-sentence to say 'so nothing new, right?"
@terzaerian I actually just made a new thread where writers can "advertise" their play-throughs. (RPed and general challenge play-throughs) All the people tagged in the original post of that thread have made good ones, as well as all the people who have commented.
567. When you someone asks you do something and you reply "I shall attend to it in a trice."
568. When you apply the BG character creation system to other games and movies. For example Rocky would be a Chaotic Good Fighter with STR and CON at 18; Dex at 16; INT at 8; WIS at 10 and CHA at 7.
I think Rocky's CON is more like 20. Only regeneration can account for being able to get back up from some of the beatings he took! Especially from that Russkie dude that killed Apollo...
569. When someone's being deliberately abstruse and evasive, you blow up on them and complain about how you've just about had your FILL of riddle-asking, quest-assigning, insult-throwing, pun-hurling, hostage-taking, iron-mongering, smart-arsed, freaks, fools and felons who continually test your will, mettle, strength, intelligence, and most of all, patience.
570. When that gets followed up by a threat that references Elminster and his hat.
571. When really bad liars in your life all get the nickname Mellissan.
572. When you actually care enough to have read this entire thread.
573. I get banned from another forum, because my social and conversational skills about anything else besides baldur's gate, have deteriorated completely... Goodbye another forum for me (local)!
574. You go to buy new clothes and ask the shop's assistant, if he/she can give you a set of golden pantaloons, at your number.
575. You suddenly realize that your father had sired lots of children with different women too, and they aspire to kill you, gut you, and steal your part of the inheritance. Not necessarily in that order and priority.
576. You check carefully each and every big tree, if they are the house of a wood nymph, so you can enjoy her company.
577. You think you don't need party members and adventuring companions, because you think you learnt the "game" well and you can now solo through it.
578. You never donate to the church, because you are sure that the reverend cannot identify items, or sell you divine spell scrolls.
579. You ask a cop if he or she, is a flaming fist mercenary.
Comments
553: Your Relationship status on Facebook goes from "Single" to "In a relationship with Viconia DeVir" to "It's complicated...".
Seriously. I think there's something wrong with me.
558. You look at your badges and immediately know the name, class, level, effect, and magnitudes of each spell it is referencing.
562. You read said written play-throughs on the internet and never get bored of them despite the similar story lines.
