I've just completed the Bard playhouse quests all of the way through, and I have to admit that I was VERY impressed with the final twist and the test of your memory.

Makes me wish I'd made notes.

Anyone else ever thought *wow* to something in this game?

Cheese note on the bard's quest:
If you just sleep all the way between the last rehearsal and the play you can scroll up in the feedback window for the right answers

When I first went through I was impressed with many things.
for example Dragons: They actually are BIG.
But what took me the most was the main plot with its unexpected twists (especially as I hadn't played BG1 back then), and the romances.
Oh, and of course the comical appearances, best of which are the Spectator Beholder and the subcontracted party from ToB

Aye, the subcontrated party is great.

On the other hand, I'm rather glad that you never come across a dragon quite as large as the dragon skeleton you see on the 3rd level of Durlag's tower in BG 1.

Now that *would* be awesome.

Ah those dragon skeletons are pure exaggeration. In IWD you can see another dragon skeleton even bigger and in HoW the skeleton of Icsahahts mate is three times bigger than she is (a fully grown white dragon). Makes me wonder if dragon bones grow after death. [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Would y'all mind NOT dropping unmarked spoilers, especially from ToB and IWD? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I think people should make strange mixes of good and evil characters in their parties, just to experience the dialogue at least once.

Well, white Dragons are the smallest evil dragons after all.
And I gotta know it

Works really well if you have the happy party mod. They'll fight like crazy with one another verbally but will never come to blows. Of course, if playing evil you could just invite in good guys that will come to blows with one of your guys, which means you just kill off the good guy when they go violent.
