A huge thank-you for *NOT* having random combat triggers on the world map

Literally just about to post this - I can still hear it in my head.

Same. So much of the voice acting in BG and (especially) BG2 is stuck in my head (in a good way). If "Ah, the child of bhaal has awoken" doesn't immediately start a sequence of lines in your head in Irenicus's voice then you didn't play BG2 enough (or I played it too much perhaps).

GET OUT OF MY HEAD, CHARLES

GET OUT OF MY HEAD, CHARLES

Wake up you, wake up! Come on! We've got to get out of here!

EDIT: a reminder: "you have been waylaid by enemies and must defend yourself".

There is a reference to that in POE2, in the dialogue exchange of a "random encounter" tied to a quest. The only other "random encounter" I got beside Laethärn.

The pain is only passing, you should survive the process.

I think faced at least seven random encounters in Nekataka

 

1. Well full of oozes

2. Laethärn wanting to talk about Eothas

3. Pirates selling stuff and then giving it to me free

4. Somebody burning building

5. Tunnel on my path was collapsed

6. Skuldr attacking a girl

7. Arrogant noble who lost his purse to my pocket

How long have you been playing?

 

I got none of that. Well except Laethärn, but that's tied to a main quest. In 31 hours...and most of these hours were in Neketaka.

My first play through in which those happened was 80 hours
