Makes sense to me. I know I have come up or found names for my own PC and have had to write it down in order to be able to refer to it, or use it in the future. I wonder what the editor went through with these games?
Hey @ZaramMaldovar ! I'm really sorry for the delay. I did promise to do some illustration including party interaction and they're on their way. Here's the initial part, I hope you can identify all the party members AND the dungeon they're at. As soon as I finish I shall scan it properly so you can have it in hq.
@DJKajuru I'm afraid I can't quite make it out. I recognize Zaram and what I assume is Dorn in the corner, but unsure about the rest of the party and where they are. It is exceptionally well drawn though, it just seems a little blurry

I shall ink and scan it properly for a better view!
@DJKajuru Sounds great. I really appreciate the time you've taken away from whatever you normally do to help me out.
Speaking of which, I just applied for my first job so wish me luck.
Break a leg, Zaram! (Oh, still not finished, but this was my first party interaction concept, it's a bit late here in my country so I'll scan it tomorrow)
The Radiant Heart are perfectly okay with you pulling a Walder Frey within their sacred halls. They will still help you against the vampires, there are no consequences and it is never brought up.
I've grown bored with my CG Dwarven Defender run, mainly due to wishing to do a Full Trilogy run as either Zaram or a LE Blackguard. I don't know which to choose and I feel (almost) bad about not finishing my run with Zork.
1. It doesn't matter if you're an epic level character who defeated hundreds of creatures including the powerful liches, demons and dragons, none of your powerful spells or enchanted weapons can kill a child.
2. Everyone is able to pronounce CHARNAME's name correctly from the first try (even if it's Yazmosyam, Efvotyartsoukd or Fggfgfhfg) and nobody bats an eye no matter how weird it is. If it's Gorion who names them how he came up with a weird name in the first place?
3. Cure Critical Wounds costs 200 GP and heals 27 HP. Cure Light Wounds x4 costs the same but heals 32. Priests aren't good at math, are they?
@DragonOfShades On higher difficulties, confusion can cause you to randomly kill anyone on the screen whether it be enemies, party members or bystanders (I'd say innocents, but that might not necessarily be true), perhaps they should have extended that to deadly AOE spells at least.
Fireball on the other hand will kill anyone and anything on any difficulty, so there's that.
In the land of Tethyr, the citizens seem to have little to do except enchant weapons (and armor). Shopkeepers such as a bartender in Saradush or a traveling salesman in a forest glade just happen to carry around a complete selection of +1, +2 and +3 weapons. If you require +4 or better, many of your enemies will drop them when killed.
So in unrelated to Baldur's Gate news I just got my first haircut in ages today, probably took off a couple pounds and it's like looking at a stranger in the mirror.
In Baldur's Gate logic, how about the random Poultry Store with the rabid chickens?
@ZaramMaldovar: Look back at your previous playthroughs, find the ones you completed, and figure out why those held your interest longer than the others.
For me, the playthroughs I've completed all had one thing in common: they revolved around a new strategy or trick that I did not much understand and wanted to experiment with.
Baldur's Gate Logic: Saemon Havarian knows he's carrying a sword that will draw the attention of hostile githyanki. Does he hand it off to some shmuck on Brynnlaw so the githyanki chase after him instead?
Nah, he just hands it to Charname. Who is literally in the same boat with him.
To be fair, Saemon was put on the spot by both Charname and the Githyanki, I can understand how a normally smart man can make stupid decisions under that pressure.
@DragonOfShades It's a good point, that's just low enough to make some terrible decisions but not low enough to be debilitating since 10-11 is average.
Waterdeep Nobleman logic: I see you're fighting a pack of wild dogs. But please allow me to interrupt to walk up to you and ask you to please stand away from me.

Dorn, Jaheira (?), Imoen, Zaram, Neera and Khalid (?).

Looks way better this time. Still unsure as to what dungeon that is supposed to be, but I've been a little rusty on my dungeoneering lately.
Edit: Let's call it The Black Wedding

What to do?
1. It doesn't matter if you're an epic level character who defeated hundreds of creatures including the powerful liches, demons and dragons, none of your powerful spells or enchanted weapons can kill a child.

Mwuahahaha!
All of Beregost? Impressive.
@Iroumen yeah, but the XP cap is already low for a solo.
Tldr Naskel massacres are for newbs!
Sarevok: "Sweetheart, O Bloody-Minded Bitch Goddess....
We were TRYING to KIDNAP the snivelly noob Baalspawn!!! So NOT for Barbie-Q!!
Tamoko: "Ooopsie, my Baaaaad..."
That is perfect.

Also he expects to be able to walk from Northern Arm to Waterdeep in a Tenday apparently.
