Answers

3. What is Dreppin’s cow’s name? (2 points)
Answer: Nessa. I originally had the answer as Arabelle. Black Robed One gave this answer:
"I believe it changes from first to second time you are in Candlekeep, the first time you are in Candlekeep (prologue), Dreppin calls his cow “Nessi”, but the next time to you visit Candlekeep, he calls her “Arabelle”."
So I left it at Nessa, although I'm curious and will have to check on this answer.

29. Name the major inns in each of these cities. If you don’t know, then by inn, I mean a place where you can buy a room to sleep in from an innkeeper/bartender (1 point per inn named. If more than 4 are named for the city of Baldur’s Gate, then 1 point extra credit for every 2 extra that you can name).
Beregost: The Jovial Juggler, The Red Sheaf Inn, Feldepost’s Inn, The Burning Wizard.
Nashkell: Naskhell Inn
Friendly Arm: Friendly Arm Inn. Illumina had the best answer-"Erm... Are you joking? Do you want Bentley Mirrorshade's name?"
City of Baldur’s Gate (name only 4): The Elfsong, The Blushing Mermaid, Ye Olde Inn, Three Old Kegs, the Splurging Sturgeon, Drakon Tavern, The Helm and Cloak, The Blade and Stars, The Seven Suns, The Low Lantern, Shop of Silence, Jopalin’s Tavern.

30. Which attribute (chose from strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom, and charisma) affects what your saving throw vs. spell for a ‘charm person’ spell will be? (2 points)

Answer: Jardak, who can be found upstairs in a building in the city of Baldur’s Gate.

32. How many areas can you view on your world map that you can visit if you have the whole map filled? Keep in mind that there are two answers for this since installing the expansion adds a few new areas (the city of Baldur’s Gate counts as 1 area, and that will include Wyrm’s Crossing. And as a New Year’s gift, your answer can be off by +/-5). (3 points)

33. Who is the leader of the Iron Throne prior to the final boss of the game? (2 points)
Answer: Rieltar

34. What connects the Hall of Wonders and the High House of Wonders? (2 points)
Answer: a stone bridge. I got a few underground passages, but that is not the correct answer. Just talk to the tour guide in the Hall of Wonders and a message in your journal will tell you that they are connected by a stone bridge.

35. What is the reason that these two buildings are connected? (3 points)
Answer: so that they can be guarded as one building. Once again, the tour guide will tell you this.

Bonus:
Answer this question for 3 bonus points:

How many areas are there in the city of Baldur’s Gate (not including Wyrm’s Crossing) that you can travel to?
Answer: 9


Great scores overall, although there was no single winner since Six and ZFR tied. Should there be a tie breaker question?

[ 02-14-2005, 05:35 PM: Message edited by: Lord ]

[ZFR]

Lord could you check your PM?
I think I just...

EDIT:
Oh, and on an unrelated side notice, you said in a post before:

I found another mistake. No one seemed to be getting anywhere near the answer I had written down for one of the questions, so I went back and found out that I had made a mistake. However, only ZFR gained points from this correction, bringing the total to 79 points...

Did you mean the question with Nessa?

[ 02-14-2005, 06:35 PM: Message edited by: ZFR ]

[Lord]

Yes, ZFR, it was the question for Nessa. You were also right, I did miss out on some points for you. I also checked over the others, and Six's score was boosted a bit as well.

Here are the final scores:

ZFR: Tethoril (85 points)
SixOfSpades: Ulraunt (82 points)
Brainless One: Ulraunt (78 points)
Black Robed One: Drizzt (68 points)
Illumina Drathiran'ar: Rieltar (63 points)
RoSs_bg2_rox: Davaeorn (56 points)
Link: Duke Eltan (49 points)
Dplax: Berrun Ghastkill (28 points)

Which makes ZFR the new winner! Congrats to ZFR and to every one else as well!

And I guess it's time to start compiling BG1 Trivia #4 already . By the way, would anyone like to have the 4th trivia have a theme like the 2nd one did (the 2nd trivia was based on the city of Baldur's Gate), or should it be like trivia #3?

[Dace De'Briago]

I liked the style this one was in, even though I didn't get around to submitting the bugger

[Brainless One]

I agree, have it be about everything.
-Brainless One

[RoSs_bg2_rox]

I think you should have one on the wilderness of BG1 - I think I'd be good at that one. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
