Do you remember...

Your the first time a love interest started talking to you and thinking "WTF?? Did he/she just make a pass at me??"

Discovering how neat Wands of Fire are

The first time you discovered there were mods out there and they made the game BETTER

The first time you installed the flirt pack and got to grab your love interests butt

The hundreth time you got that damn "X is busy and cannot initiate dialogue" bug without knowing there was a patch? (I got so mad I killed the gravekeeper)

The first time your high level mage sent Chromatic Orb at someone and it blew them up

The slow walk of BG1

Thinking gnolls were hard to kill

FINALLY getting to Baldur's Gate

I do

I remember that X appears busy. It took me over a week to get past the stupid cleaning golem.

But I'm over it. And I the patches.

Do you remember buying the Dark Alliance games cause they said Baldur's Gate?

[erebusant]

Do you remember surviving that major battle after about your 50th re-load only to have your game CTD before you could save?

[maximus2001]

Do you remember a ten minute duel between you and the Candlekeep assassin because neither of you could hit the other?

That one mad me crack up, I do remember the whoosh whoosh when no one could make a hit.

Do you remember when you saw Drizzt singlehandedly destroy the gnolls and think why can't I do that.

Do you remember the first time you chunked an enemy with a critical hit and said whoa!

Remember the first time Viconia made moves on you and thought ooh that was fast..

Remember the first time you actually got that demon chasing you all over the archaeological dig, and running for your life.

How about the first time you got level drained to death.

Ah, good times.

I remember I actually cried when we had to kill Yoshimo, I blushed when I found out Anomen was actually romancing me, and I was really scared of "Descending into Hell" movie the first time around.

And I *think* I liked Anomen's ToB epilogue, though now, one can never be sure. And Sarevok's "Of course you cannot trust me. Why would you? Take me with you, Stacey." had me in stitches for hours - it was just so funny.

And first time I played BG1 after BG2, my first reaction was "Who are all these people?", and it was actually strange to meet alive Khalid and Dynaheir.
"Hey, folks, you're supposed to be dead! Not yet, you say? Well, okay, but..."

And then there were mods, and I fell in love with Kelsey, Edwin, Irenicus(don't mind me, folks, just move along), and Xan all over again.

"Fell in love with ... Irenicus?"

Gah! Where is Chipmunk? A rare genuinely entertaining permutation of the cat-fight concept is being missed out on ;(

Do you remember how you first reacted to the fact that someone made an Imoen romance mod?

Do you remember being really, really peeved because you didn't walk from town to town like you did in BG1? No open countryside (well, not much anyway). That was my major disappointment - and after I'd shelled out for the Collector's Edition too!!

-Y-

[Edit] And all these years later I've still got the tee-shirt!!!!!

Do you remember the first time a joinable NPC spoke to you?

After playing with nothing but multi-player PCs at my boyfriend's insistence, that was a magical moment. Unfortuately, it was such a surprise, I wound up uninstalling and reinstalling the game because I thought I broke it.

[Menelanna]

Do you remember how you knew Mellasan was a bad guy the moment you met her? (I never trust those all-too-friendly kinds of people)

Do you remember wanting to kill Saemon when he just would not stop popping up?

Do you remember going OMG when you met Jaralaxel in the Underdark?

Do you remember killing off Drizzt and his buddies to get all their neat weapons and stuff in Bohdi's layer only to find out that it was taken away from you by that Harpell guy as soon as you went outside? And that if you found a way to still keep some of the stuff he would Imprison your main char?

I do

[berelinde]

Do you remember wanting to kill Saemon when he just would not stop popping up?

I always want to kill Saemon Havarian. If there were a parallel thread entitled "Things about the BG series that just never die", that would head my list.

[Kellen]

Do you remember how you knew Mellasan was a bad guy the moment you met her? (I never trust those all-too-friendly kinds of people)

Yeah. Heh. I knew it all along.

Do you remember counting down each member of the five and wondering who the missing person was(or not as the case may be)?

Do you remember hating Balthazzar so much for his MR?

[Menelanna]

Do you remember how freaked out you first meet the Master Wraith?

Do you remember wanting to kill Silvanus (that elf in copper cornet...can't remember how to spell his name) when he hit on your female PC?

Do you remember how funny it was when Edwin read his Nether Scroll?

Do you remember how it was even funnier to have Edwina talk to Silvanus? (poor guy never saw it coming...)

[Gabrielle]

Do you remember being so obsessive that you played for hours on end, only to forget to save and a CTD happened?

[Celestine]

Do you remember the first time you used the Wish spell and wish for a horde of allies to overrun your enemies, only to find your horde of allies are actually rabbits, critters that simply occupies space on the screen?

Do you remember wishing you can tell Aerie to just suck it up and move on?

Do you remember the first time seeing Tashia's 'finger of Death' joke on the screen?

priceless. LOL

[MorningGlory]

Remember the first siren you bumped into? I remember saying, 'Hey, wait a second.. What's up with Khalid attacking Jaheira?? Did he finally get tired of her being so 'insufferable?' ' Other than the included game guide, there weren't any walk-throughs or strategy guides available when I first played. LOL

[Kellen]

Do you remember the first time Shoal kissed your main character, and going WHAT?!?

[Jolyth]

Do you remember the first time Shoal kissed your main character, and going WHAT?!?

That one irked my nerves to no end becasue I had not saved!

Do you remember the first time you saw Anomen without his beard? Or what about when Jaheira ran off after killin Xar and thinking "Well dammit all! Now I have to go get another character!" and after you did the wench had the nerve to come back!
