False, quite the contrary. Or at least I use to have a weird "power" to make technical stuff just break-down by just being in their vicinity. We used to call it my "magic fingers" that could just down any system by just pointing at it. Didn't affect humans, only tec stuff. Luckily, this power of mine seem to have faded over time and nowadays I am fairly normal. Still not very tec savvy though.
The next person prefer the company of "techy stuff" to humanoids.

You wouldn't happen to be a theoretical physicist by any chance? Because this is known as the "second Pauli principle", or the "Pauli Effect". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauli_effect
Not since I quit drinking, I wouldn't! Actually, when I was online dating, I was afraid I might date a myconid, or something equally frightful from one of D&Ds tomes or manuals, but good fortune saw me through and I met a lovely woman I've been with for almost eight years now.
The next poster also met their partner online or is hoping to do so.
Kinda! My wife and I went to middle school together for one year. It wasn't until, man, about 10 years later that she randomly found me again on facebook.
The next poster is dating someone they knew since kindergarten.
Nope. I don't think I've been on a date since middle school. In my case, it is for lack of trying, thankfully. I've only been truly interested in maybe a half-dozen women in my entire life.
My most recent crush was on a musician. She actually played at CBGB's (which she described as a filthy hellhole) back in the day, and even won the battle of the bands. Although, one of her bandmates' numerous Puerto Rican relatives in the audience might have biased the vote. Her group opened for another band called the Butthole Surfers.
The next poster would also open for the Butthole Surfers.
False, I can whistle the normal way. Never did learn to whistle the way when you use your fingers around your tongue to make that super-high sound though. Plagued my childhood, everyone else could but me.
The next person has that one thing they can't do that EVERYONE could around them which made them feel insecure and will tell us what is was/is.
False, I think. At work so couldn't listen to the song to see if you had a double meaning to the question.
The next person is wearing a tie, 'tis friday tieday and all that.
For all of those interested (noone), I'm wearing a british 'hunting' tie today, dark green with white and black cross-stripes, coupled with white shirt and black suit and vest. I should of course have coupled it with a grey tweed vest and jacket, but alas, I own none.

True!

False. I thought I would have, just had a super-important meeting regarding my project's scope, but as usual with meetings like these in my company, it ended with "OK everyone agrees but noone understands what they agree to or think similar to the others and the shit just poured down into Skatan's lap again".
True. Just completed IWD:EE yesterday with a solo Dragon Disciple. Smashed "B." to oblivion with the Black Blade of Disaster! What a battle it was! (Completed it in less than 10 rounds though.)
Fun Fact: It appears that you can hit just anybody during the period of Time Stop regardless of their AC, and every hit hits with certainty!
The next poster thinks that soloing IWD:EE is easier than playing with a full party.
Not at all. I've recently soloed IWD:EE with a sorcerer in HoF mode as a new no-reload run (though I would later realize that that had already been done by another no-reloader with a different character), and while the vast majority of it was easy, that was only because I knew exactly what to do:
1. Kite and charm the goblins of Easthaven until I hit level 6 2. Spam everything with Summon Monster I until I hit level 10 3. Spam everything with Summon Fire Elemental until I hit level 12 4. Dissolve everything with Death Fog until I hit level 18 5. Chop and gobble up everything else with Black Blade of Disaster and mind flayer form during Time Stop
Any other strategy would have been extremely ineffective, and if I applied the same metaknowledge to a party run, it would be far easier than the solo run.
Soloing the game gives you six times as much XP, but that doesn't give you six times as many levels, or even twice as many levels. It leaves you extremely weak at the beginning of the game, viable in the early game, strong in the midgame, decent in the late game, and weak in the endgame. People pay a lot of attention to that strength in the midgame, but being 1000% prepared for half the game isn't worth being 50% prepared for the rest.
The next poster thinks that solo runs are only done by showoffs.
True...ish. I haven’t ever done a solo run, but maybe that’s because I’ve never posted my games on the forums...? Not that I’m not a show off, I’m definitely that.

@semiticgod This is especially true about the boss fight. It seems there is only one way to kill him with a solo Mage/Sorcerer: Black Blade of Disaster + Time Stop. I tried many other ways, but none of them seem to work. It feels so unbalanced for a solo Mage/Sorcerer (on the contrary, most other solo classes can clear the boss fight much easily). It feels very unfair.
Not at all, but I admit that it feels nice to post your solo exploits on the Forums. Especially if the first time you're completing the game is with a solo character.
The next poster wishes that there was a Fighter/Sorcerer multi-class in the Infinity Engine games.

the next poster only wants to finish nwn oc because they need to know why it was so bad and say they have beaten it.
Getting a sufficient will save against the Valsharess as to romance Valen Shadowbreath in HotU to the fulfilment was really the thing.
The next poster is equally frustrated that Frederick Zbryski (the said Valen) is not a token voice actor in RPGs. Oh why, oh why??

Now Sorcerer/thief or sorcerer/cleric (or shaman... oh, that!) is a different story.
