"Why I Hate Fantasy RPGs"

Annoying gnomes?

Like Jan Jansen. I prefer to have a halfling in the party before a gnome. Mazzy was a great halfling.

I'm quite the opposite. I like Gnomes, and I liked Jan. I won't even let Mazzy in my party for a second because she's a Halfling.

 

Of course, I hate Grobnar so much, you must guess why I keep making statements at to his actual race.

I imagine it's something Darque hates about Fantasy RPGs. Mega-munchkin races.

Isn't it strange

Feels like I'm lookin' in the mirror

What would people say

If only they knew that I was

 

I was born in the underdark (dark-dark-dark)

Born to be an evil and mean drow (drow-drow-drow)

Always in some perpetual fight

Then I realized it sucked and went to the surface, wow

 

I think I'm a Drizzt clone

There's a bunch of us on the server now

I think I'm a Drizzt clone

'Cause scimitars are getting rare now.

 

Look at the way

Our fighting styles are same

I guess you could say

I'm my own sparing partner

 

I still remember how it began (gan-gan-gan)

Read that book from that Salvatore man (man-man-man)

Reading about Wulfga, Bruenor, and Regis that night

Then that drow really struck me in that moment of truth

 

I think I'm a Drizzt clone (a clone now)

There's always two of me Silverymoon

I think I'm a Drizzt Clone (a clone now)

Now I just to need to get my own figurine

 

I think I'm a Drizzt clone (a clone now)

And I can stay at home while I'm in a dungeon

I think I'm a Drizzt clone (a clone now)

'Cause every pair of scimitars is a hand-me-down

Drow are good races to play. The only bad drow is that munchkin Drizzt.

At least 18 of BG's joinable NPCs made it into BG2, if only by mention.

 

Imoen

 

Jaheira

 

Minsc

 

Viconia

 

Edwin

 

Dynaheir -

dead according to Minsc; never seen

 

 

Khalid -

dead, body visible in second level of Jon's dungeon

 

 

Ajantis -

killed by you (unknowingly), identified only if Keldorn is in the group (afaik), seen first as an illusion then as a generic corpse

 

 

Xzar -

alive and well, initially, in the dock district, part of Jaheira's Harper quests.

 

 

Montaron -

dead, part of Jaheira's Harper quests, you find his body stuffed into a chest if you search the Harper Hold later on

 

 

Coran -

alive and well in the North Forest; you can save him by means of careful dialog but I've only done this once; he usually dies.

 

 

Safana -

alive and well, initially, in the North Forest near Coran's location; always dies soon after you find her.

 

 

Tiax -

imprisoned in the Spellhold Asylum; helps you fight Irenicus shortly after your arrival.

 

 

Quayle -

now runs a circus in Waukeen's Promenade

 

 

Faldorn -

now leads the shadow druids near Trademeet

 

 

Garrick -

can occasionally be seen romancing a lady paladin by the name of Irlana

 

 

Xan - Tutorial

 

Branwen - Tutorial

Added a few NPCs I'd forgotten. That leaves Alora, Eldoth, Kagain, Shar-teel, Skie, and Yeslick as NPCs that didn't make it into BG2 one way or another.

Which also means.... 90% of the player made characters, that are actually Drizzit clones. :lol:

Glad I fall in the ten percent then. :)

I liked Viconia, and BG2 made me see Drow in a completely different light. I _DO_ recall Drizzt from BG1, and I tell you it was literally hatred at first sight. I spent more than 24 hours before I killed him. I din't even know if it was possible, but I stuck at it.

tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

The only Drizzt clones I see are troll characters designed to piss off people who hate Drizzt clones.

 

I've made a few of them, myself.
