Eh, I'd better register if I hang around here much longer...

Anyhow, what's your favorite or most memorable quote from the Baldur's Gate series?

My vote goes for "You must gather your party before venturing forth."

There are far too many. However a recent one that I really like

Keldorn: Do not be such an ass, Cernd.

Cernd: Err... are paladins even allowed to say 'ass'?

"Life... is strength. This is not to be contested, it seems logical enough: you live, you affect your world."

Irenicus is hands-down my favorite villian I've ever encountered.

"The righteous need not cower before the drumbeat of human progress. Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, God still watches and judges us. Evil lurks in the datalinks as it lurked in the streets of yesterday, but it was never the streets that were evil." - Sister Miriam Godwinson, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

I fully agree.

I have to concur - Irenicus is my favourite villain ever. :D

Favourite quote? I've got a few... "You sound as if you were dropped on the head when you were a child. Or kicked."... something like that, anyway. :D I can't quite remember.

Aaand my favourite banter ever:

Keldorn: Imoen! What ... are you pawing at me yet again? Do you think I do not notice. You are trying to pickpocket me, aren?t you!?
Imoen: Well, no ... I just ...
Keldorn: Just what? Out with it girl. I won?t have a party member stealing from me.
Imoen: No, no, that?s not it! I ... I was just ... I was just trying to find out if you?re as muscular under your armor as you look.
Keldorn: Eh? What?s this?
Imoen: Oh, I know that you?re married and all that, Keldorn ... but do you have *any* idea how good you look? I ... I can?t help myself, I just want to touch you all the time!
Keldorn: Imoen! I ... I have a daughter the same age as you!
Imoen: I don?t know what it is, Keldorn ... maybe it?s the Bhaal essence in me. I just want to run my fingers through your hair and nibble on your ears! Oh, Keldorn, you drive me so wild!
Keldorn: By Torm, no! This is terrible! I ... I had no idea I had this effect on you ...
Imoen: Oh, get over yourself, Keldorn! Sheesh. (giggle!) Here?s your ring back. I won?t take it again, I promise.



And also this line... ahahahahaha.

"For someone who supposedly has her soul tainted by the evil of a dead god, you remind me considerably of a chipmunk with a sugar high and a death wish." - Valygar, to Imoen.

The one's from Imoen that were mentioned are indeed golden, including Valygar's line :). Val has very few actually interesting moments, but that one made me chuckle.

As for favourite lines, too many to count. Although I always mention Edwin's opening line:
"Greetings. I am Edwin Odesseiron. You simians may refer to me merely as "Sir," if you prefer a less... syllable intensive workout. "

As for some of the most hilarious moments, I refer to Jan's stories - the 3 pages long thing he recounts at the end of ToB is a bit too big to quote, but this here fits pefectly:

"Greetings, everyone. Sorry, no gifts or souvenirs this time but I'll keep you all in mind the next time I'm gone. Oh, Keldorn: the gods say 'hi' and that you should wash your underwear more thoroughly. Everyone ready? Let's go adventuring."

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move - Douglas Adams

I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world - Oscar Wilde

Give a man a fire, and he's warm for a day. But set a man on fire, and he's warm for the rest of his life. - Terry Pratchett

My PC's dialogue with Demin:

- It fell to Ellesime to judge the crime, and she was harsh. Having forsaken everything elven, they would be outcast so they might learn how precious our ways are. Of spiritually high regard, Ellesime petitioned the gods and a divine curse was placed upon the Exiles.
- Wow, what was your first clue, genius?
- We had hoped this would turn out better.

this is kind of a long one but I did laugh when I saw it.
