I can't see it. I just can't see it.

PC: "This, my good inkeeper, is the Butterknife of Balduran!"

Feldepost: "The Butterknife of Balduran. Really."

PC: "Yes! The only eating utensil that great hero used! Would you like to buy it?"

F: "Get out of my inn."

Yes, but imagine trying to sell it to any store in Baldur's Gate. They could sell it to the Dukes for quite a profit. Put it in the Museum... Or the PC would sell it to the museum/temple directly.

Why would you give away Balduran's stuff to the museum? There's really nothing really wrong with it if the character is looking for their path that gives them the most prophet, but in BG2, you can equip some of Balduran's other equipment, which happens to have been stolen from the museum. It's just a little story inconsistancy, nothing really.

Nobody said the PC stole the equipment... Y'know the guy that encourages you to steal the telescope? Perhaps it's him. Or Alora. You never know...

I'm just waiting for some enterprising modder to give that butterknife some enchantment. Like insta-slaying Ogre Magi or something. Then people would love it. Ironworks would get flooded with posts from people looking for it. Somebody would solo the game using only the butterknife, then write up their adventures and forevermore be remembered as "that guy who soloed with the butterknife." Although that sounds sorta dirty. :X

Pirengle, why not just use IEEP to modify the butter knife (you'll have to change it from a MISC item to a Dagger), then you could use it throughout the game as your main weapon .

All right, I'm running some tests, and I think this is doable. I'll let you know when I finish. Ideally, the Butter Knife of Balduran will act as a +4 jellybane dagger.

It should also get bonuses versus Peanut Butter Golems! I don't know why the people at Black Isle didn't think to put those in!

Baldur's Gate II
(Cyrus is my main character. Fighter/Thief Elf)

Below the great city of Baldur's Gate, the heroes emerge in a desolate temple to battle the forces of evil...

Cyrus: Damn, my Flame Blade broke. Cheap rusted metal from Nashkel... What else do I have? Ah, Balduran's Dagger! It's probably buffed with magic! Have at you Sarevok!

Sarevok:...

Cyrus: ...

Sarevok: Is that... a butter knife?

Cyrus: ...Yes...


Soon, the forces of evil were destroyed and Baldur's Gate is saved!


Baldur's Gate II

Captured by the dread mage Irenicus, Cyrus and his comrades are dispersed and slaughtered throughout their adventures to find the evil wizard!

Cyrus: Cromwell, I must ask you to enchant this weapon for me!

Cromwell: Balduran's Butter Knife eh? Well bring me back his helm, armor, cloak, sword, and shield.

Soon after searching all of Faerun, Cyrus returns...

Cromwell: It is done...

Cyrus: At last! The weapon that will defy the gods themselves!

Cromwell: Actually it can spread Turnip Sauce now.

Jan Jansen: Most Excellent!

Cyrus:...

Baldur's Gate Throne of Bhaal

After killing Irenicus and regaining his soul, Cyrus trudges southward to fight those who he never wanted to meet.

Cyrus: Cespenar, do you have a recipe for Balduran's Dagger?

Cespenar: OOOH! Cespenar, good servant. Need must I make knife better? Need I, Big Metal Unit and Big Rod.

After trudging to Saradush and back to create the immensily overpowering contraption, Cyrus learns the true meaning of power.

Cespenar: Nope. No more recipes...

Cyrus: At last! Fear me Bhaal, and Cyric alike! I will be mighty at last!

Balduran's Big Metal Vorpal Butter Knife +12


(Truly useless information. I typed this in 5 minutes...)
