IWD (mini) quiz?

ZFR · 10-24-2004, 01:18 AM

Seeing how this forum is so much alive now, I though about making one... There are so many quizzes in the BG series and I havent found any for IWD...

Anyways, I have the questions almost ready and can start one in 2 or three days... But first I want to see if there will be enough people willing to participate in it. I dont want to start the quiz and then have someone declared winner only because his was the only entry submitted.

Also few points:
1. I'm thinking of making it for all IWD+HoW+TotLM. Is it ok? Or should I make it only IWD+HoW or only IWD? I really want to include HoW because otherwise its too small but might decide against including TotLM if not enough people have it. So if you reply now tell me what should be included.
2. I would really really ask those who finished the game at least once to participate. Please dont say "I dont remember it now" or "There are so many good people here I dont stand a chance of winning so I wont participate."
3. The results will be posted only with the answers when it is over. I've seen in some of the quizzes in BG where the results are posted soon as they are obtained. I think its fairer if all are posted together at the end and also it wont discourage anyone and it will keep good suspence.

So reply and tell me if you want to participate. This isnt any official signinig-up (there wont be any... anybody can participate once the quiz is made). I just want to see more or less how many poeple will be there and dont foget to say whether you want HoW or Totl included.

Sure, I'll play along. I just finished the my first run through IWD/HOW/ToTL and would like to see if I'm as IWD savvy as I think I am...

I'm sure there's a lot I missed, though..

I'm game. IWD + HoW + TotL is fine with me. You might want to have two types of questions; one for just IWD, the other for HoW and TotL. That way, people who don't have the expansions can participate.

The best policy on including HoW stuff is to have the majority of your questions just on the original game, and only one or two HoW/TotLM questions. That way, people who just played the original can actually get a reasonable score, and you don't have to leave out the expansions.

Good idea... even despite of fact I didn't played TOTLM. But nevermind, I played IWD+HOW and it is enough. I played IWD so many times, HOW only once.

ZFR · 10-25-2004, 10:15 AM

Oki then... I'll try to have most questions based on IWD and few on HoW and TotL.

I'll start the quiz today or tomorow...

Consider having only one TotL question as a bonus last question.

Count me in too. I think it is time to find out if I am so well versed in IWD lore, as I believe I am.

Count me in: IWD/HoW/TotLM.
