I don't have loads to add. Just the one thing that probably bugs me the most about the game...

"Shit, it's time for that bloody Ellisime dream."

[Sir_Carnifex]

-- I better not use that Heroism potion. I might need it later... I better not use any of those three Heroism potions, I might need them later... I better not use those four heroism potions and those seven potions of fire giant strength, I might need them later... I better get another potion case...

That is definitely one of my shortcomings. I get to the Pocket Plane with about 50 of those teeny-weeny healing potions I've been saving since the Irenicus dungeon "in case we need them, guys!"

I'm also great at buying up Arrows of Dispelling and constantly forgetting to use them against enemy mages.

The situation: The party is deep into the Tethyrian forest. Imoen is near-dead with barely the strength to crawl across the ground. Minsc is about to fall out of the berserker fury, completely exhausted. Jaheira is bleeding pints of blood. Enemies swarm around them, eyes gleaming in exultation. Xan is out of spells and can only say one thing:

Xan: We're all doomed.

Imoen: Uh, Scipio, I hate to boss ya around, but we're gonna be gutted if we don't use the healing potions!

Scipio: Sorry guys, but this is our emergency stock. You'll have to wait until we get back to town.

Jaheira: (Gasp) Scipio, we are DAYS away from the nearest temple and besides that, we're SURROUNDED!!!

Xan: It's hopeless. Completely hopeless.

Aerie: Ow! I think I just scratched my finger! S-see, it's bleeding!

Scipio: Hold on! We're breaking into the emergency medical supplies!

"Crap. Why am I not playing a game that's actually good instead?"

[Scipio]

Aerie: Ow! I think I just scratched my finger! S-see, it's bleeding!

Scipio: Hold on! We're breaking into the emergency medical supplies!

Thanks for giving an insomniac a good 5 AM laugh. You've got me sussed.

- I know I've just cheated in 9999999999 gold, but I'm still going to loot those gibberling corpses.

Heh...yes I also can not help myself when it comes to that. Or I'm ctrl-r for healing and still picking up all the healing potions. "I...I can sell them..um..maybe."

My latest BG1 PC (He's a real miser) has amassed a fortune of almost 4000 gold BEFORE hitting the mines. Yes, I saved every dagger, sword, helmet, etc. that I could find. Half the time the party could barely move. It's only hard times for those who are careless with their money!

Yep. I pick up everything. Sell every little dagger. Waste not, want not. In BG2. Irenicus's dungeon. "Hmm....now what's worth more, this mace or this spear or this ax. Ooh another composite bow....must make room for composite bows." and in the promenade "This is the first time selling to this merchant, must fill one inventory with composite bows and sell them all at once before the buying price drops." *sigh* It's a sickness.

- *sigh* why does this awesome armor have to be PINK?
- Oh no, Irenicus Dungeon again. Ctrl+J, Ctrl+J...
- Whom to romance?

I have the thing with potions too, especially in BG1.

[Sammi Somara]

Oh my! Someone is approaching me! They must want to talk to me! I'm going to walk in the other direction just to give them a hard time! WHEEEE! (I do this to about half the people who walk up to me in the game. Note: It's really difficult to pull this off with Xan in the tutorial. Mainly because you end up running around the table in circles. Until he gets smart and starts cutting you off and generally acting like a sheepdog.)

[Sammi Somara]

Most of them sounds sooo familiar...
More frequent thoughts:
-*walking in the forest/city/dungeons* Wait! Xan gets lost again.

Oh wow. Xan keeps wandering off the wrong way in your game too? Hm. He must want to avoid the inevitable doom that awaits the party down the corrider the rest of them have chosen...--;

[darlarosa]

"....Why would letting, obvious psychotic crimals go make sense? I mean at least like Banish Irenicus and give him a guard to keep the influence of Bodhi away...Ellisime is an idoit"
-------
Darla:I must collect every item and sell it even though I have 9999999999 gold and the best items

Imoen: Why?

Kelsey:shhh don't make her-

Darla:*slowly turns around*......-chants-*magic missiles Imoen*

Imoen:WHAT THE FRICK!!*is backhanded by Darla*

Darla:DO NOT QUESTION MY AUTHORITY!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT I AM? JAHIERA

Jaheira:Omnipotent authority figure....

Darla:RECOGNIZE!!

Should I kill Uncle Lester? OR should I kill his douche of a nefew?
