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?

Both Dukes El*an. But the one in BG1 is worst, since he actually has a kill script *in* his dialogue file.

"Let me introduce you to Grand Duke Eltan, one of the lords of the city, commander of the Flaming Fist and member of the Lord's Alliance."
"I am glad to see that you have come. I know that such a meeting is unusual, but in these circumstances it is necessary. I would first ask what involvement you have had with the merchant society known as the Iron Throne?"
>We won't answer that question.
"Perhaps I should reiterate myself: I command you to tell me what your involvement with the Iron Throne is."
>You can command all that you like, you old fart.
"Don't force me to do something that I'll regret. You already know too much for me to just let you go. You WILL die if you do not tell me what I want to know. You have no option here."
>Stuff it up your butt, old man.
"ForceSpell(Player1,SAREVOK_STRIKE)"
"Wait(2)"
"Kill(Player1)"

*headdesk*

...I wouldn't mind so much if it just made him turn hostile and go Drizzt on my arse. (I think I read somewhere that he's a 20th-level fighter, so ouch.)

Elhan is a somewhat close second.

[Menelanna]

being forced to work for annoying pain in the asses!

having to listen to your party members whine and complain if your rep. is not good enough for them.

[Miraz]

Aerie's moaning

There are two ways of interpreting that.

[berelinde]

More, really, but, as this is Aerie we're talking about, any moaning going on would likely be general complaining, or in response to actual physical pain. A little uptight, that girl.

Edit: someday, I will learn grammar.

[Tempest]

She's not that uptight in ToB, mind you.

[berelinde]

Tried the romance twice, all the way through ToB. She might unclench her knees, but she'll never exactly be uninhibited.

Here's another something that will never die: self-disgust at how ridiculous my gauge of acceptible NPC behavior has become.

[Miraz]

Oh common, she's not that bad. The ToB lovetalk where she says "wait til tonight" doesn't seem very inhibited to me.

[Solar's Harper]

Things that will never die?
let's see: wanting to be Tiax's killer
kill Quayle
keep beating Irenicus up (again?)
Imoen (c'mon she canNOT be replaced)
Minsc and Boo (save his heroes boast that happens about 15 times in Ust Natha <shiver>)
shutting Aerie up for two seconds, the nice way though (guess I don't have it in me)
And the never ending possibilites the game has to offer!

Phew, I'm just getting started but I'll shut up now. <side-steps off stage while people throw knives and beer bottles>

[whatbrick]

The maniacal sense of power after repeated uses of Ctrl + Y.

[Kellen]

That feeling you get when you kill a demilich without a scratch, and only with your Sorcerous PC.

The villains? (C'mon Sarevok hey, I'm back. With TLR, Irenicus, Hey I'm back) There should be a rule about only having to kill something once.

My feelings for Jaheira...

[Azkyroth]

Being frustrated by arbitrary hard-coding of game features and file sizes.

[Menelanna]

crazy people like us coming together to places like this to talk about the game

[Isilven]

-Not knowing the blasted coding language. If I knew even the CALL WORDS I could do fine.
-Associating in my head that David Warner=Irenicus, so I insert Irenicus lines whenever he speaks.
-Drizz't, Elminster, and Khelben Arunsun. I don't mind the last two, but Drizz't has gone from "OOH, AWESOME DROW RANGER WITH TWO MAGIC SCIMITARS!" to "ARBITRARY DRIZZ'T DO'URDEN FAAAAAANSEEEERVICE!!!!"

[theacefes]

Wanting to shoot flames at Nalia BEFORE she can reach you and say "Is anyone willing to hear my plea?" in BG2, after hearing her say it 500000000000 times while testing your mod.

Oh, and Boo of course. I loved to go to the inventory screen and make him peep in a rhythmic fashion.

[Kellen]

It was always so cute.

[berelinde]

The feeling of playing BG1 again (Tutu or BGT, please, and only with BG1 NPC project), having Imoen, Jaheira, Khalid, Minsc, and Dynaheir in my party and feeling like I'm getting together with a bunch of old friends.

[KIrving]

Feeling guilty when kicking out party members. Feeling really guilty when leaving them with out any armour or a weapon.

Same here with Kivan, Coran, Jaheira, Khalid and Xan. It never gets old. (I so want a friendship path for Xan, so that I wouldn't have to feel guilty when romancing Coran, though...)

[Jarno Mikkola]

Mine is Edwin, I have killed him more than few playthoughts, three times. He just seems not to die.

I have to ask, where the &%¤#" is your fireball spell, and what class do you useally play as? Cleric-Mage?

[Kulyok]

Fireball? You're so totally not a powergamer, man. Skull trap is the way to go!


Oh, and mods never truly die, for some reason.
