BG Head thanks for giving me this idea! Okay here put all those things that just seem to never die in the game!

the Spectatar from the fish-people city thing
Aerie's moaning

I could put alot more but i wanna see others first.
Steel is my body, fire is my blood.
I've created over a thousand blades
Unknown to death.
Nor known to life.
Have withstood pain to create many weapons.
Yet, those hands will never hold anything.
So as i pray, "Unlimited Blade Works."--Archer from Fate/Stay Night

Wanting to kill Saemon Havarian in new and creative ways, each and every time.

Wanting to slap Aerie upside the head for trying to blow our cover over the gnome patrol.

Wondering why I can't make some truly... original suggestions to Anomen, even with the flirtpack.

Wanting to tell Jaheira to give it a rest.

Villians. (Anyone notice how they just keep popping up? Admittedly a few were because of mods but still)

Traveling Companions.

Drizzt, Saemon, and Elminster! :D

EDIT: I've never really hated Saemon, Drizzt, Elminster, Aerie, Jaheira, Anomen, or so many others that get so much flaming.

In my case, noticing how much I adore Saemon's cunning and opportunistic character more and more every time I play through. :D

Gorion's voice, and yelling "GORION!!" every time I hear it somewhere else than BG.

Irenicus's voice, and yelling "AAH THE CHILD OF BHAAL HAS AWOKEN" every time I hear it, or see the actor, somewhere else than BG.

Minsc and Boo, and how smart and lovable they really are.

Stupid dialog options for <CHARNAME>.

Stupid cut-scenes that make <CHARNAME> do stupid things.

those neverending dream! (the only time i even enjoyed the dream stuff was in the Xan romance mod)

the neverending stream of people wanting to kill just because you happen to be a god-child.

the fanfics that are written for BG. (i am guilty of this one myself)

'Hehehehe, it's alright. Tired of working here wanted a holiday was thinking of retiring probably going to die! Time to move on under down... down down.'

I can never get enough of Wanev...to the point where I'm thinking of making him a one-day, silent, NPC.

Argh, the Saemon Havarian thing has to be THE one thing I will always remember even if I suffer from amnesia at some point in my life.

Wishing that even the shortened dream sequences of BG2 could be even shorter. At least BG1 let you skip them if you'd seen them before.

Wanting to get that seventh person in your party, even though you know perfectly well that it is impossible.

And that is why everything should be optional, especially shortcuts. :)

Which is a good thing when you can click through dialogues. Hearing the same thing for the 50th time can get tiring.

..wanting to horribly murder at least two separate people with names starting with "El" who force you to agree with their retarded plans on threat of Kill(Player1) scripts...

EVERY. FREAKING. TIME. It's annoying me to the point where I just want to say "hell with it" and quit when I get to that point in BG1, and BG2 is only slightly better (you don't actually die unless you <I>attack</I> him first...).

Ha! It seems like half the NPCs in the game have names that start with El. There's Elminster, Elliseme, Eldoth, that smug bastard at the exit from the underdark... Did you have any particular ones in mind?
