If you are a Deviant Art user maybe you know what Memes are. They're a list of questions about a topic that must be answered with a drawing. Usually these questions are funny or ask you to draw something particular. The final goal of memes is having fun of course!

there are memes about many topics, even about videogames, but not about Baldur's Gate!

I created a meme that you can download here http://fc07.devianta...y_Epantiras.jpg unluckily I'm too lazy to 'fill' it now, I hope I'll do it next week end. Meanwhile, I want to share it with you guys, you can fill it with your drawings and post it here or in your personal gallery! If you're not familiar with memes, this is an example http://epantiras.dev...t-meme-66748310

It looks interesting, I've seen many of this on DA but I don't get how to fill this thing. Are you printing it, or filling it with pictures later on your computer or what? I know it is a stupid question, but I've never done it before.

The easiest way is to fill it digitally (especially if you have a tablet) or just draw something on paper, scan it and fill the memo :) Hmm, I think I'm going to do this.

I don't have a tablet... <_< I'll try this scan method.

Oh, yes, that would be good :D

the very first meme I 'filled' was made of pc scanned drawings as I didn't have a tablet in those days ;-)
btw I forgot to say that the worst part was choosing 10 questions from the 100 ones I imagined ~_^ the first ideas were very game specific (i.e. questions about certain quests) but then I decided to do something that could be filled even by those who played only one game of the saga

First! ;) Just don't expect it to have any kind of artistic value and be patient, 'cause the file is quite big.
Doing this was too much fun :D

@ Abigail: lol your meme tuned out great!! I like your choice of adding small touches of color instread of fully colored pictures.
about moral choice: i figured out something like that for my Bhaalspawn too ^_^
about fighting Sarevok: it happened the same to me!! Angelo turned agains Sarevok yelling something like "you won't fool me again"... but he got killed ;-)

Thanks, I always liked this effect in other memos I'd seen :) Not to mention it's a LOT easier and faster this way ;)
Judging from comics, your Bhaalspawn is totally amusing, I can't wait to see your memo.
Hmm, this thing with Sarevok never happened to me! O.o Maybe it's a part of some mod? In my games, however, I would cast a fire resistance spell on one of NPCs and make him/her run around, Angelo would shoot his fireball arrows and eventually kill all his allies ^^;


Erephine - I like your meme, NPC's portraits are especially stunning.

The first time I played BG2 Drizzit got killed by Bodhi and was soon resurrected by that mage, never really got around to looting him. Are his weapons and armor really good in game? :huh:

I recalled something. You know vampires shoots "Domination"? They had Viconia controlled, by the spell. Well, Drizzt killed Bodhi and tried to kill Viccy (Fool.). After that, Viconia killed poor Drizzt. It seems Viccy is stronger than Drizzt. She wore: Armor of Heart, Dragon Helm and somethig else. Wielded she Crom Faeyr and Flail of Ages. * Snicker *

Drizzts Items:
Mithril Chain Armor +4 - (No comment)
Scimitar +3: Frostband
Scimitar +5: Defender (Usable by: Only Good Alignment) :wacko:

Sorry, if drove of the topic.
