1: Why does Irenicus have the pommel jewel of the Equalizer, but the other parts of it are in the Underdark? Was this some sort of goodwill gift from the drow, or did Irenicus swipe a pretty trinket?

2: Continuing on that thought, why are the weapon pieces put in some of the weirdest places? Half of the Gesen bow is in Hidesman's basement/docks, and the other half's in the Underdark! And why in the world would a dragon, a mind flayer conclave, a statue, and cannibalistic halfling hold pieces to the great easter egg Crom Faeyr??? I can understand the Wave blade being in Shark City, but why is the shaft with the Warden in the Planar Prison?! Did he get a Sahuagin or Kuo-Toan prisoner with a funny-looking weapon piece and say "Gee, maybe if I hold onto this long enough, I can find more pieces!"?

3: What is up with the guy-with-four-names that attacks you outside the slums and later inside the Temple of Ilmater? Is it just another atmospheric piece (like Shank and Carbos or Garrick outside the Radiant Heart) or did he really have a purpose once upon a time?

4: The Myconid room in the slum sewers. Why is it there? The only room like it is a room in the Planar Sphere, and you never see Myconids without spore colonies except this room. Just another botched quest?

5: The Black Lotus reference at the gates: yet another unfinished quest?

6: If a romance dialogue comes up and you don't feel like answering it right then, can you say that you don't want to talk to that person (usually the last dialogue option) without your response affecting the romance?

7: During my latest game, Anomen would have a romance dialogue at the worst times. The Infamous Night™ happened in Firkraag's dungeon. Other important dialogues happened during battles or in the Demonic Plane or other unromantic locales. Is this supposed to be happening?

8: If you pry the experience cap off, is it possible to cast level 9 spells from your spellbook in SoA?

9: I've read a lot of posts about solo mages and odd parties. Has anyone ever played the entire game without mages, clerics, or bards?

10: What other unfinished quests are hidden in BG2? And why doesn't anyone try modding these loose ends back into the game?
