Re: BG1 TRIVIA #4!!
 
Out of curiosity, was a similar quiz ever made for BG2?

Yes, actually. Go <a href=http://www.ironworksforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12862>here</a> to view the list of "Classic Threads," and scroll down to Miscellaneous.

[ADD] Huh--why doesn't the URL work? Okay, go to the BG2 forum and find the Classic Threads post, stickied at the top.

Re: BG1 TRIVIA #4!!
 
A quick sorry to you all about my lack of replys to the quiz. I was halfway through filling it in when my laptop broke, and got taken away to be repaired. I was hoping that I would have got it back soon, but I may not for another six weeks. :(
I enjoyed what I got to do from the quiz though.

6.

Bonus: For 3 points.
Who’s next in the list?
Xan, Skie, Tiax, Xzar, Alora, Coran, Edwin, Kivan, Minsc,…

Final scores were:

<b>SixOfSpades:</b> Tethoril (90)
<b>ZFR:</b> Tethoril (85)

Congrats to Six on pulling away with the title again. I expected scores to be lower overall this time, but I was wrong. The scores were pretty impressive.

There is no plan for a trivia 5 at the moment. I have a few questions left over from this trivia that I scraped simply on the grounds that they were outrageously difficult. Maybe one day I'll just compile a small handful of very difficult questions and let you all at it. Who knows?
