Favourite moment/set piece combat from the BG series. (Could well include SPOILERS)

xanderwatts · 07-19-2002, 12:20 PM

I'd be interested to know everyone's favourite moment from the Baldur's Gate series, be it dialogue, battle or easter egg.
Mine would have to be clearing out Bodhi's Lair for the first time, using the Azuredge. Lassal meets me in the spike room, and says "It will be a pleasure to eviscerate you for my Misstress' glory" and runs towrds me, a puny mage. Minsc steps out of invisibility behind him and throws the axe. Ker-chunk and Lassal lies dead upon the floor in less than second. Mwahahahaha!!

Most Anti-Climatic:
----
So here was my party in Suldanesslar, and we meet this stuck-up black Dragon. Since it was my first time meeting him, I buffed up everybody on spells and potions. Feeling pretty safe now, I talk to the Dragon and engage in a fight with him. My Sorcerer had an Agressive Mage AI Script on and he fired a Finger of Death.

*BOOM*

There goes the Dragon... I spent more time getting ready than actually fighting the darn thing! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Most Memorable
----
Beating Kangaxx on my own, without the aid of any hints or spoilers. Got him on my ninth try, I had 5 members imprisoned, so my Sorcerer casted a Freedom scroll and a neutral Keldorn dealt the killing blow with Carsomyr.

I did not get any experience points, but the Ring of Gaxx more than made up for it.

Noteworthy Contender
----
Smacking Jon Irenicus and his demons around with Mountain Bears. [img]tongue.gif[/img] I was casting healing spells on the bears for crying out loud.

There are many other memorable fights I had, but these were the first that came to mind. If I tried to list down everything... it will take too long.

most favorite moment was talking to the observer beholder in the Sahuagin city, absofrickin hilarious

My absolutely favorite scene had to be the grand finale, the final battle in ToB.. The soundtrack was amazing.
My favorite dialogue would have to be with the Spectator Beholder.
My favorite sidequest? Hm.. The Nether Scroll comes to mind.
Favorite ten seconds? Having Bhodi tell me I live as long as she tolerates it, then casting Sunray and killing her.. Tying with that are killing Irenicus after he tells me I was but a gnat compared to his power.
Favorite stronghold? The De'Arnise Keep, only because it had all those nifty little containers.
Most Disappointing: The fact that you can't be an official Harper, a Zhent, or any of those other societies. THAT would be awesome.
Most gratifying: Clearing out the Twisted Rune solo with difficulty on Insane.. Although I did have ToB installed, so I was able to cast Spellstrike and such.. But still..
One of my favorite surprises: "This is Tiax. Not much is known about him; he was found raving on the side of some road."
Tie for most gratifying (MAJOR, SUPER DUPER, WILL RUIN ToB FOR YOU FOREVER IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED IT YET SPOILER, LOOK AWAY QUICK!)

When I figured out that my true enemy was Mellisan... Right in Saradush. I suppose it was obvious, but it made me feel really good.. Come on, when someone keeps teleporting away, someone with tons of knowledge, someone seemingly dripping with goodness, and yet you can't get a Know Alignment in edgewise.. But still...

Sir Exxon · 07-19-2002, 02:05 PM

My biggest and favourite moment was from ToB, when I finally managed to defeat Demogorgon with my solo Cavalier.
The devil had whacked me like ten times before I disposed it of, and man I was happy. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Dragonbreath · 07-19-2002, 02:17 PM

Funniest Battle: Searching for the Nether Scroll, finding the lich, than having my main character walk up to him and hit him three times for the kill. [img]smile.gif[/img] He didn't even have enough time to go hostile

Kronostia · 07-20-2002, 07:41 AM

That would have to be my first time playing...running through and finding Firkraag...i went like HOLY S***...and then i tried to kill him...gave up on the 30th try with a Lv 8-9 party with only a +1 Longsword...who i thought was all mighty at the time [img]smile.gif[/img]

Most memerable fight in ToB....
Draconis...he was so frigginly strong(playing on insane here ppl) using a solo Mage [img]smile.gif[/img]
Took me another 30 tries [img]smile.gif[/img]

The Dragon Reborn · 07-20-2002, 12:18 PM

My most anti-climatic moment was when I killed firkraag with one hit from my monk. Of course I was using quivering palm.

keke3368 · 07-21-2002, 12:42 AM

From TOB - something along the lines of " Tim has magic missle and I have a healing potion". The young adventurers almost made me wet myself laughing.
