BG1 mini-quiz

Dirty Meg · 09-30-2004, 11:49 PM

Ok, so this has been done before, but never by me. If you want to participate, PM me your answers. Don't post answers here for obvious reasons. At some point I will compile a table of scores. A bonus point will be awarded for corrections to any errors in the questions, but only to the first person to send me the correction. Here goes...

General knowledge
1. What is the name of the book which allows you to enter Candlekeep?
2. Who is filling his last cavity?
3. What is the name of the worlds only exploding ogre?
4. What item did Babette Maelstrom have created to aid her dungeon exploration?

True or False?
5. It is possible, without cheating, to retain the book used to enter Candlekeep.
6. Centeol, the spider woman in cloakwood forest was cursed by the archmage Jon Irenicus.
7. Along with the Golden Pantaloons, the only item which is retained when importing your character into BG2: SoA is the idol of Kozah the Stormstar found at the archaeological dig.
8. Out of all recruitable NPCs, Coran has the highest stats. (str+dex+con+ etc)

Who said... (points will only be awarded for the characters name, not descriptions or locations)
9. 'The world above is yours... The depths belong to the dead that will not let go.'
10. 'Your comings and goings in this city could hardly be called silent... Please, let us not start off so wrong.'
11. 'Consider my debt repaid, friends, as I certainly do.'
12. 'Luck has seen fit to drop you in the lap of the lady.'

Cool. Looks like the chariot race in Ben-Hur. In the event of a tie, are you going to have a tiebreaker question?

Dirty Meg · 10-02-2004, 01:47 AM

I wasn't planning on it, but it sounds like a good idea, so now there will be.

Tiebreaker Question
This question will only count in the event of a draw...

'Oh dear. Where do we hide in fair weather, we ******* ** *** *****'
This pertains to a non-recruitable character in BG1. Who and why?

Illumina Drathiran'ar · 10-02-2004, 09:12 AM

Damned if I know.

Wow! Five, I thought I'd do a lot worse!!

DirtyMeg, I love the quizzes on Ironworks and would like to participate in yours. As usual it's extra hard for BG players using foreign language versions, as you quote and use names from the English original. I am playing the German version, so at least half of the questions are impossible to answer for me. I know it's bugging and I sure don't want to spoil your fun, but maybe in future quizzes you could think of questions that are not text related. Keep on the good work

I only know one question, so I will not participate to avoid bad reputation
