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

She's foot loose and fancy free in ToB.

Having the party taunt or 'propose' certain 'favors' to "Edwina" and having him/her prove her/himself to be just about as much an idiot as in BG1 or before the 'nether scroll sex change operation'.

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.

Flames? I just send in a Pit Fiend and let her deal with it... uh, along with everyone else not protected from evil.

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

Yep... It's even worse if you happen to like the character, but you need to make a choice between that and practical work. Almost gives me the urge to try and make my first time mod having more than 6 in a party at a time (5 allies plus PC).

The music. Especially BG2. BG1's not bad either.

Horrible pseudo RT phase based combat.

*Perfecting your character (reroll for "perfect stats" for 100th time or so).

*Music. I tried to use SoA and ToB music in my Oblivion game but had to remove them pretty soon after. Epic ToB music in Tamrielic wilderness just didn't quite fit in (and made me miss BG series ).

*Choosing between NPCs. The dilemma between the fun and the powerfull. I usually choose fun party and powerfull only when I plan to play Tactics, Planar Sphere or Solaufein mods (Solaufein mainly because of the ToB fight... )

*Wishing Imoen didn't dual-class (I'd choose BG Imoen over SoA Imoen any day)...

*Doubting the creators' intellect in some romantic scenes. Really, how romantic is it when my charname gets to pick her own flower bouquet gift (thinking of Durlyle/Delainy here)?!

*Hating the mazes in BG - no matter wich way you turn, there's always a kobold (commando if you're really unlucky) squad or two behind your back, nuking down your spellcasters.

*Hating the AI in BG and TotSC. "If there's a barrel in the middle of otherwise empty room, your party will absolutely positively try to walk through it." So sayeth the Murphy's law of BG.

*Loving the voice acting. It's a real jewel among plain rocks. Newer games seem to forget/neglect this part far too often...
