Your favorite lines from the Baldur's Gate series?
« on: August 26, 2006, 01:22:28 PM »
Here's one of mine:

Shade Lord: Something is awry... I sense fresh souls. Who intrudes upon me? More unlucky adventurers come to swell the ranks of my dark army?

PC: Far from it, fiend. I am the light that shall dispel your darkness.

Another is when the PC is speaking to Anath, and she mentions something about doom. The PC can respond to the effect of "I am the only doom you need concern yourself with. Prepare to die, fiend."

I'm havinga hard time choosing, but my fav would probably be:

Quote
(to Portalbendarwinden): Ok, I've just about had my FILL of riddle asking, quest assigning, insult throwing, pun hurling, hostage taking, iron mongering, smart arsed fools, freaks, and felons that continually test my will, mettle, strength, intelligence, and most of all, patience! If you've got a straight answer ANYWHERE in that bent little head of yours, I want to hear it pretty damn quick or I'm going to take a large blunt object roughly the size of Elminster AND his hat, and stuff it lengthwise into a crevice of your being so seldom seen that even the denizens of the nine hells themselves wouldn't touch it with a twenty-foot rusty halberd! Have I MADE myself perfectly CLEAR?!
Portalbendarwinden: Ehhh... insights? Um... Never take raisins from rabbits, never spit in a man's face unless his moustache is on fire, and don't take any wooden knickers unless you've a good supply of salve.

basically anything from Minsc. Irenicus, Edwin and lilacor

Jon
•   Ahhh, the child of Bhaal has awoken. It is time for more...'experiments.' you have much potential, do you even know the power you possess
•   You know nothing of me! You know nothing of what I must do! You will suffer! You will all suffer!
•   Silence, dog. You have no purpose but to die by my hand
•   Life... is strength. That is not to be contested; it seems logical enough. You live; you affect your world.
•   You are but a gnat, compared to my power.
•   You are born of murder, the very essence of that which takes life. You have power, if you wish it.
•   Do you cling to the past or can you see through the pain?
•   Your actions affect so many others than yourself. You will come to realize how little choice you have. You will do what you must, become what you must, or others will pay for your cowardice. You *will* accept the gifts offered to you.
•   Follow, and receive the gift you are owed by the blood in your veins. Follow, if only to protect the weak that fell because of you.
•   I cannot be caged! I cannot be controlled! Understand this as you die, ever pathetic, ever fools!
•   No, you warrant no villain's exposition from me.
•   Why do you submit to the weak demands of flesh when immortality is bred into your very bones?
•   I wonder if you are destined to be forgotten. Will your life fade in the shadow of greater beings?
•   I... I do not remember your love, Ellesime. I have tried to. I have tried to recreate it, to spark it anew in my memory. But it is gone... a hollow, dead thing. For years, I clung to the memory of it. Then the memory of the memory. And then nothing. The Seldarine took that from me, too. I look upon you and I feel nothing. I remember nothing but you turning your back on me, along with all the others. Once my thirst for power was everything. And now I hunger only for revenge. And... I... WILL... HAVE IT!!

Minsc
•   I trust those who prey on children no farther than they can be thrown, even if I manage to throw them pretty far! And throw him I shall!
•   I won't cry for the dead! I won't! Well, maybe a little... but I will staunch the tears with righteous fury!
•   What? Boo is outraged! See his fury! It's small, so look close. Trust me, it's there.
•   This is silly! Buttons are not how one escapes dungeons! I would smash the button and rain beatings liberally down on the wizard for playing such a trick
•   I would hate being forgotten in a bottle. It might depend somewhat on the type of bottle, but overall I expect the effect would be similar.
•   You should have given a sword, give a man a fish and he feeds himself for a day, give a man a sword and he can chow down on the meaty marrow of evil for a lifetime!
•   Boo will have clean wood shavings, you evil bastards!
•   Minsc grows tired of yelling battle cries when fighting this mage! Boo will finish his eyeballs once and for all so he does not rise again! EVIL, MEET MY SWORD! SWORD, MEET EVIL!!!!
•   There is no hope of ever separating Minsc and Boo. Boo is small and evasive, and there is ever so much of Minsc to search!
•   Minsc will lead with blade and boot (Boo will take care of the details)!
•   Magic is impressive. But now, Minsc leads! Swords for everyone!
•   Butt kicking for goodness!
•   I understand when making a glorious eggdish of goodness some eggs must be broken, but actions such as this are simply deplorable!
•   AAAH! Minsc will be free! These bonds will not hold my wrath! Butts will be liberally kicked in good measure!
•   Minsc and Boo stand ready!
•   No effect? ...I need bigger sword!!!
•   Evil 'round every corner... Careful not to step in any.
•   Despair not! I shall inspire you by charging blindly on!
•   Go for the eyes, Boo, GO FOR THE EYES! RAAAAAAAAAAAURGH!!!
•   Squeeky wheel gets the kick!
•   Terrible hamster justice shall be wreaked upon you!
•   Jump on my sword while you can evil, I WON'T be as gentle!
•   Ahh, I prefer the bright of day, evil must be able to see the justice I dispense.
•   Boo must have his exercise, lest he bite us all in hard-to-reach places.
•   Cities always teem with evil and decay. Let's give it a good shake and see what falls out!!
•   Every Hamster Has his Day
•   Where goes the stench of Evil so goes the cleansing wind of Minsc and Boo
•   Who wants some?
•   You point, I punch.
•    Less talk, more fight!"
•    Full Plate and packing steel.
•   I need aid soon, lest my Hamster become... an orphan!"
•   I need aid soon, Boo is too young to have to avenge me!"
•   Live by the sword, live a good looong time.
•   See battle Boo? Run, Boo, run!
•   Boo says: What?
•   We are all heroes: You and Boo and I. Hamsters and rangers everywhere! Rejoice!
•   Swords, not words!
•   Fool me once, shame on you: fool me twice, watch it! I'm huge!
•   When the going gets tough, someone hold my rodent.
•   Stand and deliver.  That my hamster may have a better look at you!
•   There be safety in numbers, and I am two or three at least!
•   Make way evil!  I'm armed to the teeth, and packing a Hamster!
•   It is as you would have it.  It is my sworn vow to see that your every need is catered to.
•   Lay a finger on what I protect, and forevermore you will answer nature's call... with a hook!
•   I am a man of few words, and few hesitations. Warnings past, and now you die!
•   You travel with Minsc, you toe the line!  I won't suffer slackers while I'm busy Heroing!
•   Choose your friends wisely, not all are as trustworthy as Minsc and Boo. Your words are as sharp as my blade, although not half as shiny.  Ooh... shiny!"
•   Camaraderie, Adventure, and Steel on Steel. The stuff of legends!  Right, Boo?"

Lilarcor
•   Okay, listen, beefy: I may be an intelligent sword, but I've had no formal edumication.
•   Can we go kill something now, huh?
•   Come on, what about now? No? C'mon, c'mon! I'm getting itchy, let's GO!
•   Come on let's kill something NOW!
•   Wanna go and kill now? Hmm mm mmm hm mm hmmm. Now?
•   C'mon, what about now? Let's KILL!
•   Now? Please, come on. Pretty please!
•   I don't know what you were expecting, but as a sword I'm pretty one-dimensional in what I want.
•   Can we go whack something now?
•   C'mon c'mon, let's go whack something evil.
•   Why don't we kill, er... that over there?
•   Y'know what? Long time ago, yeah, I was like er, a Moon blade. Heheheheh.
•   You really need to clean me. I like to shine!
•   Are we gonna kill something now? C'mon, maybe? Something small... anything!
•   You know, my last owner always said I was sharp and edgy. Heheh. He was such an ass.
•   I don't chop wood, OK? I am not an axe.
•   Now! Now! C'mon, kill something now!! Yeah!
•   Boring. Boring. BorIIING!
•   Ohhhhh, C'MON!
•   Russ'em, friggin', shaw'em, rab'em. C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!
•   You deal, I'll cut! Hahaah!
•   Let's see what's inside this one! Yeah!
•   Come get some! Boo-yah!
•   Choke up, dolt, your grip is all wrong!
•   Hands up, kiddies, who wants to die?!
•   Mmm, mm! Tastes like chicken!
•   Sissy fighter! You grab, I'll scratch!
•   Muhuhuhuhehehehahahahaha!
•   Hrmpff! You can't be serious! Hahaha.
•   Ooo, that'll leave a mark!
•   Murder, death, kill! Murder death kill! Mwuhuhahahaha!
•   Who's your daddy!
•   Oooh, throw a coin in that fountain! Hahaha!
•   Are YOU talking to ME?!!
•   Some of my finest work!
•   I'm the best at what I do, and what I do ain't pretty!
•   Yeah! Hit it! Hit it again!
•   I am invincible! Invincible, I say!
•   Hey, wouldn't it be cool if you could dual-wield me?
•   YOINK! Got yer nose!
•   My brother is a +12 Hackmaster! Mhmheh.
•   I love the smell of daisies in the morning!
•   Swing harder, swing harder! Swing harder!!
•   Bring 'em on! I ain't done!
•   Oh yeah!
•   Let's dance!
•   Kill it! Kill it quick before they're all gone!
•   Kill kill kill! Yeah! Cool!!
•   ...and this one's for grandma, who said I'd never amount to anything, more than a butterknife!!
•   So, are we gonna... kill something now!?
•   Oh, sure, get me all excited for nothing. So, we going to kill something soon? How about now? No? How about... now? No? Ummm... now?
•   Advice, eh? Hmmm. Well, besides working on your swordsmanship. Ya know, besides that, er... I'd have to think.
•   I got it. Oh, I knew I'd come up with something... I'm so sharp. Kill everything! Carnage! Slaughter! Carve your way outta here and I'm gonna sing your praises! Yeahaaah!!
•   I'm sharp, I can come up with something... OK... find someone who knows what you want to know and threaten to kill them! Yeah! Then kill them! Yeah! Woo-hoo!!
•   Hmmm... Find someone rich, and kill them. Then find someone richer, and kill them, too! Hack and slash your way to fortune! Woo-hoo!!
•   Hmmm... I think you should sharpen me a bit. I've got more nicks than a Rashemaar ranger's head.
•   I know! Start swinging! Well, eventually you'll lop off the head of someone important, and then the good fights will REALLY start!
•   Oh, there's GOT to be LOTS to kill down here! Just pick a direction and start swinging! Hahahaaah!!
•   I refuse to answer any more questions until I am cleaned and polished thoroughly. C'mon, grab a rag already...
•   Err... umm... find that wizard guy. Yeah, sure! Find him, and kill him. Kill kill kill kill KILL!! Whoo-hoo!!
•   What's my status? Well since when do you care about me unless I'm impaled in something's guts? Oh, well, fine, let me think for a minute...
•   Hmph, uh. I suppose I'm okay. Why? Are we gonna go kill something now? How about now? No? Now... maybe? Grrrrrrrr...
•   I think you need to take better care of me. I've got more chips than a blind beaver... I look like a second-rate pig-poker.
•   I'd appreciate some quality time in my scabbard. Take a break.... Ahhhh, who am I kidding? Attack! Battle! Kill!! Hahahahaaa! This is...
•   Well, er, since you asked, I would like to register a complaint. I want to kill a dragon. Right now. No, don't look; go kill one now. Go find one, and kill it. That's right; kill, now. That would be SO cool.
•   Ooh, I agree with the Rashemaar. Give me to him, willya? C'mon, what a pair we'd make! Oh, me the brains with the edge, him the brawn with the hamster! A legend in the making...
•   You feel lucky, punk?
•   Wanna go kill that over there? C'mon, let's kill somthin'!
•   Swish. Hot butta!
•   Oooh, I'm shaking! HaHaHa!

Edwin
•   Edwin do this, EDWIN DO THAT... somebody get this jerk a banana.
•   Well, it would seem the leader of our little group has impregnated the impressionable circus child. And here I thought she was merely getting chubby without the ring master's whip to keep her in shape.
•   Greetings. I am Edwin Odesseiron. You simians may refer to me merely as "Sir," if you prefer a less... syllable intensive workout.
•   I'm busy, okay? I'm BUSY.
•   I assure you, Viconia, this Thayvian male is as red-blooded as his cloak, and has left many a concubine gasping under his erotic onslaught.
•    (annoyed tone) Oh, YES, MASTER. What shall I FETCH NOW?!
•   Have you nothing else to do but bother me?!
•   Go bother someone else!

And Ha'er-Dalis' Limerick about Edwin is priceless... just priceless...

does memory serve?

he still managed to screw it

"This is tedious. Let's just kill them!"

I wish there were more options such as this interspersed among those excessively long "dialogues" you can't get out of without hearing the other party (Elhan, for one) out to the bitter end.

I've always loathed the Elhan dialogue. By that time in the game, Charname would be able to lay waste to the entire nation of Tethyr should he or she be pleased to do so. I wish someone would make a mod to fix that. I don't mean I want to fight Elhan, I just want some dialogue options to make him shut his mouth and understand he's the one in the bitch position.

I was not aware of this line so I went to check on it. All black bears have a line that says: 'Hey, BooBoo. That's a nice pickinick basket.' Unfortunately the WAV for this line, BBEAR02.WAV, is not included.

This line isn't from BG2 but from IWD: one of the voice sets says, "To the pain!" which I only recently (I caught the end of the movie the other day) realized is a quote from "The Princess Bride." I personally think the voice actor delivers the line way better than Westley.

It's from a conversation with the mod NPC Silver Star following the discovery of Khalid's mutilated body. Silver Star, a charmingly insane assassin, is chiming in after Imoen's "I saw Irenicus do this" dialogue, and describing her own torture.

(I really like Silver Star - she's funny and has the lovely laugh of FemFight2, or whatever voice that is.)

Aha. I suspected it might have been the dialogue with Korgan in your party after he performs a ghastly bodily function. I know that Viconia reacts to him, not sure about others.

There are no ghastly bodily functions, they're all perfectly normal.

At least I hope so, but maybe I should drag Korgan around a bit more?
