  "They use to throw rocks at me! Now I bring two nations to their little border town to burn it down in chaos and pillage! My revenge is at hand and you will not stop me!"
  
  Seriously, Nashkel would see the worst of the war being on the border and all. He has motive.

  716. When you are purchasing goods, you are upset that items such as potato peelers, do not have interesting back stories... Just a barcode. (Once got a good backstory off a pack of Birdseye fishfingers once... Just saying...)
  
  ...
  
  Noober as the real villian? The clues where there all along...
  
  Hi, I'm Noober. Nice place, huh?
  
  So, killed any monsters yet?
  
  Ever been to Baldur's Gate? I've been to Baldur's Gate. I've been under Baldur's Gate!
  
  Ugh, I think i stepped in something. Righteous wannabe heroes.
  
  Everyone in town used to throw rocks at me and tell me I was annoying. I slit their throats while they slept.
  
  What time is it?
  
  I haven't had a conversation this long, well...ever! Everyone else fears me...
  
  What's that big weapon for? I can kill you with this nailclipper...
  
  Those colours look pretty stoopid on you...
  
  I once knew this guy called Dilby. He threw rocks at me too. Are you gonna throw rocks at me? If you do... I will drown you in rocks...
  
  So... What about now?

  Gee, you sure are patient. Just the right kind of temperament to be an evil mastermind. I would know...

  717: You *invent* a backstory, and stats, for every item you own that is even remotely wieldable. And for some that aren't.

  I do this a lot, especially with gifts. I remember once my mom wearing a new apron while cooking, I told my brother it's a special one that adds +3 to Profession(cook) checks. He laughed, my mom thought us crazy. I swear it clearly betters her cooking skills!

  718. Your employer asks you to talk to a very important person and convince her to pay your company 20 000 USD. When approaching that person the first thing you say is: "COO!!!"

  719. You list Baldur's Gate in the "Thanks" section of the CD booklet in your band's studio album. (Yes, I actually did this in 2000).

  @mlnevese I had to take a close up photo with my camera, as the font is really small, but here's documented proof:

  723. When you start assuming that folks you meet on the road must be either desperate or deranged to be there.

  724. When you have more than one opinion on the Shag, Marry, Kill thread.

  725. When you've gotten so used to mods that your BG2 runs tend to be either solo or with one or two mod NPC's, plus maybe Imoen to deal with traps. It gets to the point where running with Minsc and Yoshimo again feels downright refreshing.

  726. You're afraid your aquarium fish will read your mind and will disclose your true identity to the city you live in. The identity of a Bhaalspawn, mind you.

  728. You learn that in order to win in a chess game, the only thing you should do is to kill the king.

  729. You try to win a game of chess by fireballing and cloudkilling the opponent's pieces. All your country's chess clubs have you on their blacklist.
  
  730. You think a "chess club" is a weapon used to beat a chess opponent. You regret not having taken any proficiency points in clubs.

  731. You're doubly regretful because you heard that there are clubs out there that are especially effective against internet trolls. Or something like that.

  732. After a long playthrough with Neera you're afraid of a wild-surge every time you use your mage even if she's not a wild mage. courtesy of @Heindrich , I agree with it a lot

  733. While playing PoE you compare everything with BG, especially when you equip two your characters with ranged weapons while the third is acting like a tank and watch how badass ranged weapons are at the start of PoE, just precisely as it is at the start of BG.

  734. You play the Sicilian defense, Dragon variation, in chess because you hope your opponent won't save vs. Fear.

  735. You make custom characters in PoE based on your Baldur's Gate charnames >_>

  736. You read PoE as AoE and wonder what spell everyone is talking about.

  714. You have a nightmare about the game that involves Noober being present at the final battle in BG1 as the true mastermind behind Sarevok's plans.

  I like this idea... someone should mod this. Add powerful feeblemind and confusion spells as innate powers to him as well

  I may have done something like that once...
