    "Heya, it's me, Imoen!"

    The most amusing variation of this is when my flatmate had twinked his character out with the best equipment and max level before leaving Candlekeep. 'Heya, it's me Imoen' was shortly followed by her death yell as he chunked her in one shot.

    "I AM the Law!"

    I always thought it was "Long live the flaming fist!"

    "Hey, friend..."

    You have been waylaid and must defend yourself.

    The gibberish that mages say when they are casting magic.
  • KnettgummiKnettgummi Member Posts: 152
    Honorable mention goes to "So I kicked him in the head 'til he was dead" and even more: the sound of adding spells to your memorize list!

    "Vita, mortis, xxxxxx"

    Anyone know what that third word is, by the way? That always bothered me...

    "Mooooommyyyyy, I don't feel so good..." when Xzar gets low on health.... which use to happen A LOT! :)

    For just a sound it has to be Boo squeaking when you click him! :)

    Otherwise it's gotta be:

    "Go for the eyes, Boo! GO FOR THE EYES! RAAAAGH!"

    and

    "I'm a fine lookin' strumpet, ain't I?" :P

    @Knettgummi It always sounds like "kah-rio" to me. I figured it was gibberish.

    FOR THE GLORY OF AMN!

    And Lilarcor's speeches. Seriously.

    Vita Mortis Careo - life, death, lose

    And there is also

    Incantus pulcher imperium - enchant, beauty, power

    Manus Potentis Paro - fist, powerful, prepare

    CARDIO -- as in the function of the heart. Makes perfect sense for healing spells. VITA (life) MORTIS (death) CARDIO (blood)

    "You must gather your party before venturing forth."
    "You're a queer fellow."
    "Buttkicking, for goodness!"
    "Go for the eyes, Boo... go for the eyes! Rrrraaagghh!"

    Many of the sounds, but I will list the two most frequent:

    Baldur's Gate Title Theme music

    And of course...

    "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
  • SensukiSensuki Member Posts: 19
    The Baldur's Gate wind and ambient noises. After playing BG too many times I notice when they are used in any movie or TV show (and they are used A LOT).

    When I'm out with friends after a few drinks I will stand in the door way of the bar yelling "You must gather your party before venturing forth."
  • DjimmyDjimmy Member Posts: 749
    You Must Gather Your Party Before Venturing Forth.
  • ScarsUnseenScarsUnseen Member Posts: 170
    So unavoidably memorable that Bioware jokingly put the phrase(but thankfully not the audio) into just about every game they've made since. What else could it be?

    The power words of spellcasting are awesome. I really like these translations.

    " Listen carefully, if we ever become seperated it is imperative that you make your way to the friendly arm inn, there you will meet Khalid and jaheria, they have long been my friends and you can trust them!"

    "so hard to find decent folk nowadays"

    my favourite and I often say it in real life "Wisdom is only possessed by the learn-ed"

    I'm especially afraid of "vita..." and "incertus..." when fighting an enemy mage. Usually something really bad happens to my team after hearing these words...

    It's also worth pointing out that the school of necromancy consists of white necromancy spells (healing, slow poison, etc.) and black necromancy spells (finger of death, Abi-Dalzim's horrid wilting, etc.)

    For white necromancy spells there's one more incantation starting with "aqua...". Don't know how the full incantation goes, though.

    Almost all these sounds and more ring a bell to me.

    AND THE RIVERS RUN RED!

    Stop TOUCHING me!

    We're all doomed.
    (Xan's lines are among some of my favorites. I loved making a Paladin character with his voice set, and play the game pretending I'm a depressed paladin. I found it silly)

    Ya lil' monkey spanker!

    You point. I punch.

    I care not.

    C-c-click on s-somone your own s-size!

    So dark down here.

    I'm sorry you feel that way, old man.

    The list, it is endless.
