I searched around and didn't see anything like this in the first twelve pages, so I decided to start it up here.

Just the other day an odd dialogue...er...make that a normal dialogue popped up at an odd time causing a humorous situation.

In the druid grove, I had just finished a battle with the second group of druids that you meet. Jaheira was still trying to outrun a swarm of insects that were buzzing around her head when she piped up:

"It is good to be back in Amn, even under these conditions."

Well, she's a druid, maybe she likes bugs, but I sure know those creepy things would be something that would send me farther north where they are less common. Maybe they don't exist up in IceWind Dale.

The world has to all stop when Jaheira wants to talk. Arrogant wench.

I've just had one of those moments. I am running Romantic Encounters for the first time. It's probably my computer's fault for not having enough memory to run all the mods I want at the same time, but there are some odd jumps.

I had just entered the Shadow Thieves Guild for the first time. Suddenly there was a cut scene with Valen telling me to meet her at the graveyard. I went outside and she wasn't there. They're so fickle, these female bloodsuckers. I was hoping to find out how fiercely she does suck.

I was wandering across the Promenade one night when I started a fight with a group of vampires harassing some Shadow Thieves. In the middle of it Valen walked up, interrupting my spellcasting to inform me that her mistress would like to see me at the Graveyard - and then Brus repeated the trick after she left to tell me to see Gaelen. All while the fight was still going.

One that sticks out in my mind is during a battle with Improved Demogorgon (read: the party's getting ripped to shreds), Aerie decided it was a good time to tell Jaheira her hair looked nice.

Oh, Xan started talking to me once RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of the fight with Thaxll'ssyllia. I was like, um, Xan, this isn't a good time. Yeah. Dragon behind you, about to hurt you. Badly. Eep.

On one occasion after we had just been through a hell of a battle, the entire party was dead except for Anomen (he was at 1 hp!) and Charname had something like 6 hp. With him and Charname bloody, battered, and on death's doorstep, Anomen saw fit to begin one of his lovetalks (the one about me being a flower or somesuch). Here I was thinking, Anomen babe, I'd love to hear your romantic mush, really, but first help me drag the dead bodies of all our comrades to a temple, and on the way there pray that we don't meet so much as a pack of mutated gibberlings or we're screwed!

My fav (and i have a screenie of this) is when I am in the promenade and I see vampires and shadow thieves fighting at night and in the middle of it some priest guy comes up to me and informs me that strange things go bump in the night....right in front of the fight.

[berelinde]

Can you send me that screen shot, Ace? I know the one you mean, he's a priest of Talos. I need to place the encounter precisely for BG2 Gavin. MyScreenName@gmail.com will work.

Thanks!

[theacefes]

Done.

Aerie telling Jaheira how pretty her hair looks right as we are about to go into battle with Torgal in Nalia's keeep.

When you get the reputation speech from the good aligned npcs after you do a bad deed. Uhh I wasn't the one who killed those villagers, you're the ones who did it when a fireball spell made them hostile in the first place. All my character did was sit back and watch it all unfold.

This happened just yesterday: right in the middle of the fight with the fanatics trying to burn Viconia, Delon came up to Minsc to ask about helping Imnesvale, then Angelo asked me about something (I forget), and Anomen wanted to tell me about the giants. Then, one of the fanatics had run away into the prison, so we went in to kill him. Once he died, Viconia, who was still outside the prison, started telling me how she'd done nothing (I guess we were yelling back and forth through the door). Once I exited the prison, the whole dialog ended up screwed, and I couldn't continue it. Had to reload.

My favorites, though are when some of the players' happy lines trigger. The most recent was a test run I was doing for berelinde's Haldamir. He only has SOA content now, so I, being the pathetic type I am, removed him from the party and ctrl y'd him in the Pocket Plane (I couldn't stand the idea of him just. standing. there. Forevah!) So, it went:

Haldamir: Death
Kivan: That was a noble deed.

For me, funniest moment was when Terl (the boy who delivers bad news to Anomen all the time) showed up in middle of Beholder lair! He walked past all deadly beholders... to Anomen and... to my despair Anomen left when he heard his father tried extract revenge for Moira and got killed... he left... and we were about to fight like 10 beholders??? I was thinking "should I laugh or cry?"

The first few times I played BG2, after Valen tells the party to come to the graveyard district, about 1500 of Bayle's nephews approached me. I swear I thought it was some spoof of a horror movie, what with those hideous yellow outfits (who the hell was the fashion designer for the commoners in BG?)

[princesspurpleblob]

sorry, but that's one of the funniest thing I've heard all day

[theacefes]

Seriously! Imagine barely making back to Athkatla alive after saving the damn keep and you suddenly have this creepy lady talking to you and you can't tell if she's trying to tell you something or seduce you and on top of it all, the Attack of the Clones starts happening!

That's as bad as the return to Baldur's Gate after escaping from Candlekeep in the unpatched BG1. You are attacked by a whole infantry division of city guards. I didn't want to kill any so I cast as many Entangle spells as I could. I had a screen full of guards trapped in weeds, with more and more charging at me until the city looked like an untidy lawn covered with helmeted heads.

[Orthodoxia]

Back in the days when I didn't know about the romances in game this happened.

It was in the middle of the graveyard, on the feverish hunt for Bodhi (post Underdark, no soul, big hurry) that Anomen had decided to offer my PC a flower. In a graveyard. With ghosts and undead roaming around. I kept wondering from whose grave did he pluck it. It was then and there that I firmly decided that Anomen will never again be a part of my group.

Some of these are freakin hilarious.

Kivan (in BG...I've not tried the BG2 NPC mod yet) has been apt to say "that was a noble deed" at some inopportune moments with me too. One of the more amusing ones came from Valygar in my current game, though. I'd just witnessed Anomen chunking Saerk's poor daughter when he pipes up "I'm really glad you came across me when you did. This group does good things!"

As for Angelo, he never did get the hang of timing. My favourite moment was when he asked me to be his lover in the middle of the Shade Lord dungeon. Perhaps the proximity of the dragon in the next room that made him feel that it was a now or never moment...
