I'm really not sure what CHHELP.DLG was intended to be used for, but it definitely breaks the fourth wall

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN 12 // from:
  SAY #8898 /* ~I've been trying to think of some sort of reason why we should go to Baldur's Gate, but I can't really think of any.  Except, perhaps, that it's THE GODDAMNED NAME OF THE GAME.~ */
  IF ~~ THEN EXIT
END

[icelus]

ERLIN.DLG would seem to go to ERLINH.CRE, Erlin Hendrik.  ENNA.DLG also comes up with no hits, and should be associated with Erlin's wife, Enna Hendrik (ENNAHE.CRE). 

ERLIN.DLG contains the following:

Not going to be restored

And ENNA.DLG:

Not going to be restored

Not too sure where they're supposed to be located or what you can do to Mrs. Hendrik.

[icelus]

Not sure about GORIOD.DLG:

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN 0 // from:
  SAY #9192 /* ~Awake, my adopted child.  Awake and face the terrible tests ahead of thee.  Speak not, for I have but little time.  This place is the Between.  'Tis not so much real, as it is a dream, though not so much a dream, as it is real.  That which should be dead can cast its tentacles here, and your life is already wound within its grasping limbs.  There is always hope, however, and your actions here shall determine the grip with which you are held.  I can tell you no more of your true lineage than I did in life, but you will learn much here.  You must pursue several items, for they are key to who you are.  A Talon is the first, followed by the horn of great beast, a candle of light, a dagger of bone, a potion of blood and tears, and a blackened skull.  I must leave you now, for 'tis a great strain to remain in the Between.  No ordinary mortal can remain for long, so I must leave you to your search.  I wish I could say I am leaving you here alone, but you are not.  Seek wisely and true, and remember ye well: 'Tis often the journey that shapes the child, and not so much where they must go.~ */
  IF ~~ THEN EXIT

[GORION 13] is also an unused sound that voices the first two sentences.

KOBOLD.DLG is Kari's original dialog!!!

(Sorry, I just couldn't resist.  )

Well, the game does poke fun at itself in a couple of ways in the Beregost taverns.

Sounds like something I'd like Monty to say. Would be so cool!

[SixOfSpades]

~I've been trying to think of some sort of reason why we should go to Baldur's Gate, but I can't really think of any.  Except, perhaps, that it's THE GODDAMNED NAME OF THE GAME.~

Some characters and dialogues are obviously self-referential comic relief (Larry, Darryl & Darryl, Borinole Mann, Maple Willow Aspen, Noober, Lord & Aphril Foreshadow, etc.), but I can ony think of a single instance where the game actually breaks the fourth wall, and that's with Cespenar: "What? You only needs gold for that and you still says no? Okay, is your game, I guesses."
I would leave this text unimplemented. It does sound a little like Montaron, but more like something the PC would write in his Journal.

CORIAN.DLG seems to have been intended for a ranger named Corianna:

This would seem most logically implemented in Larswood, or whatever map is just west of the Basilisk map.

ERLIN.DLG would seem to go to ERLINH.CRE, Erlin Hendrik.  ENNA.DLG also comes up with no hits, and should be associated with Erlin's wife, Enna Hendrik (ENNAHE.CRE). .... Not too sure where they're supposed to be located or what you can do to Mrs. Hendrik.

In BG1, they would fit nicely on the Ankheg Farm map: The Hendriks take the land currently occupied by the fishermen, and Jeb lives on the Brun's farm. They also might be placed on the land south of the river in Nashkel, though I forget if there are two farms there, or only one. What you (possibly) did to Enna is to kill her, of course--you offer the suggestion that she's got something valuable hidden in her innards, she turns Hostile, you kill her.
I'm of two minds as to whether this should be restored at all: Obviously, there's no reason to screw up the Anhkeg Farm / Tenya quests just to provide a duplicate of what's already in BG2. Then again, the BG2 version is really cramped--neither the Hendriks nor Jeb really feel like they belong there, I'd much rather see them on an actual farm.

GHELDE.DLG belongs to a gnomish cleric in Baldur's Gate named Gheldehar.  He would like you to get his boots back from Pilar (PILAR.DLG), a half-elf at the Friendly Arm Inn.  It also seems that Pilar would like her ring back from Gheldehar.  Neither appear in the game, I don't think.

That's distatefully similar to the Arkion / Nemphre quest, IMHO at least. Then again, it would be nice to remove Phierkas and her Algernon quest (keep the cloak in the game for bugtesting purposes, but by all means don't call attention to it), and have something to replace it with.

~Awake, my adopted child.  Awake and face the terrible tests ahead of thee.

This thing is just SCREAMING Slayer Dream, so I'm very surprised to see it in BG1. I can only surmise that BioWare was already jotting down ideas of what they'd like to do in the sequel.

A random ho can always be added somewhere.

I'd like to suggest Quenash: Her non-Balduran-related dialogue has always seemed sparse (not to mention extremely unfriendly, considering her profession) to me.

QUONIN.DLG was apparently tied to another gopher quest:

It seems odd that a Priest would ask for a Potion of Mind Focusing instead of Insight, but who knows, maybe he's min/maxed his stats. I would tuck him in an out-of-the-way corner, perhaps in the outdoor slums section of BG NE.

SHILO.DLG belongs to SHILOC.CRE--Shilo Chen.  He seems to be a ranger in Baldur's Gate, who gives a similar quest as Bjornin:

There are no Ogre-Magi in the Wood of Sharp teeth, nor do they ever appear in groups except in the house in BG City. The gloves sound like Gloves of Pickpocketing. I'd leave this dialogue abandoned.

SHOP09.DLG is for a storekeep who has no .cre file.  Can anyone think of an empty building that looks like a store that needs a keep?

There are plenty of shopkeepers in BG City, and most of them use the same STO file, so I'd be willing to bet that there's at least one duplicate DLG file in there too.

SHOPGE.DLG belongs to someone random in the city of Baldur's Gate.  I can't find a reasonable .cre file to associate with the dialog.

These are just random (well, the first one isn't random, it's Charisma-based) things for shopokeepers to say when you first talk to them. Wouldn't hurt to see them added.

[Salk]

Great insight, SixOfSpades. As usual...

[SixOfSpades]

Hey, I do try to be modest sometimes.

I'm going out on a limb to say that VOICE.CRE/DLG is the cut end cutscene stuff.  Makes me want to restore it even less.

Anyone else but me see a possible connection between these? I think that perhaps originally some sort of dreamy, surreal "taint-test" was planned but never implemented. I mean, the "VOICE" file includes references to several of the items mentioned in the Gorion file, which seems like something of a dream guardian/spirit guide intended to help CHARNAME through their trials. This should presumedly take place before Chapter Six - In Which CHARNAME Learns the Truth.
