The reason all the Nashkel miners are half-naked elderly bearded geezers is because Bioware knew the average gamer wouldn't enjoy going through an area full of the alternative: half-clothed nubile shaven girls.
Thanks, I now have an image of all those miners now having the avatars of the various prostitutes.
If one goes into Daevorn's scryin room, the one with the symbol of Bhaal and the small viewing pool, casts clairvoyance (the ONE place in BG where it works inside), you'll never guess whose face appear in the pool, never.
Islanna's and Durlag's ghosts will agree to a game of Dwarf-tossing if your Charisma score is higher than 19. (Charname must be party spokesperson for this to work.)
When you first enter the Planar Sphere, if you go to the right, there's a room with nothing interesting except for a map of the city. Most players probably cease coming in here after the first time or two.
However, the map is actually pretty interesting and will update itself to reflect any actions you have taken. For instance, if you save the Planar Sphere until chapter 6 and come in after you've detonated the black powder barrels in the Docks district, the map will clearly show the crater it leaves behind.
Irenicus and Ellesime were never lovers. Irenicus was in the friendzone. He tried to become a god because he thought it would make her like him, but jeopardizing the survival of the entire elven race turned out to be one of Ellesime's major turnoffs.
When Irenicus began to die from the loss of his soul, he prolonged his life by creating a Horcrux.
Also, did you know that Edwin really is Edwina. Her amulet, aside from being very powerful, happens to also have an inbuilt gender reversal enchantment.
I used EEkeeper to remove that amulet, now s/he acts like Mizhena, must be due to some bugs, I'll try that again.
There are some interesting special immunities of seemingly low-level creatures. For an instance, kobolds do not take damage from Horrid Wilting, and tasloi are immune to desintegration and petrification effects. But the most terryfing are carrion crawlers who are immune to Time Stop. Yeah, imagine those creepy insects coming at you while everything is frozen in time. The reason why almost nobody knows about those immunities (they aren't even reflected in wiki I think) is because nobody wastes Horrid Wilting on kobolds.
Sarevok will be killed instantly if you successfully use Shocking Grasp against him.
Gee, grasping muscular men has all kinds of advantages.
......... You know, there's a really funny joke here involving Freddy Mercury, Mike Pence, and Madonna, but I don't dare tell it on a public forum.
A certain level of innuendo is now acceptable; the Site Rules have updated the forums from PG-13 to Teen, since the original games were roughly on that grading. As long as it's not too explicit, a few lewd jokes are fine.
By the way, did you actually know that you can find +3 tentacle rods in Phaere's bedside drawers? If you're romancing an NPC, the rods can start some very interesting hidden dialogues.
If you talk to either Cromwell or Cespenar while you have 5 diamonds, The Impaler +3, and Ankheg Plate Mail you can upgrade the Ankheg Plate Mail into something far more powerful.
Well, IIRC, the Shimmerings were the gremlins that the new armor Thalantyr makes allows you to summon. But I heard you had to bring him Larry, his brother Darryl, and his other brother Darryl, the pantaloons, the Ankheg Plate, the 5 diamonds and The Impaler. RIght? It's been a while. I never could find the hiding place for The Impaler in BG. Where the heck is it hidden? I thought it was just in BG2.

The Impaler +3? There's a bear that drops it in one of the wilderness areas but I don't remember which one. It may be in one of the random "You have been waylaid by enemies..." encounters.

(and @semiticgod , as a non-native and self-learner english speaker I had to Google for "nubile". And I must say: Bioware was right).

They're real, man, they're more real than anything...

- If you attack Thalantyr with a Totemic Druid he'll say, "You'll pay for this, Captain Planet!"
