You can skip Irenicus's speech by starting a multi-player game with just you, then, after he finishes his speech, save the game, now, whenever you wish to start without his speech, you can just load that saved game, then, remove the character you used when you first made the saved game, then, insert the character you would like to play with, the cool thing about this is that you also get to keep all your stuff.

On the contrary, I thing that the dream sequences are very atmospheric. As far as portraits are concerned, you can download a whole bunch of them from Ironworks.

Do they REALLY have beards?
That's very interesting.
Would Amorous Anomen still be interested, I wonder?

2.No real evil route, just the good one done a bit differently
3.There should be and NPC for each class

Well, there isn`t much I dislike about BG2, but sure, I can think of a few things...

- I would have liked to see more NPC`s and more "pure" NPC`s, ie standard cleric, fighter, etc.

- More character kits. There are some that are dull and pointless (Barbarian, Beastmaster) and could have been replaced with other more appropriate ones. The AD&D Character Handbooks had plenty of interesting ones.

- There should be more "classic" magic items, like the Wand of Wonder.

- More dungeons and locations. There`s a lot of empty space on the map outside the city and I for one, would like to explore...

- The game is a bit unbalanced in that it swamps you with missions and stuff to do just when you`re out of the starter dungeon. I find this frustrating and overwhelming. It should have been spread out a bit.

- Lack of development tools. Why haven`t they been released? This game could get a second life on the net if we were able to create our own adventures and scenarios. Is BioWare afraid that it could steal some of the thunder from upcoming titles like Neverwinter Nights?

- It ends. It`s like the first time I read Lord Of The Rings. When I started on the third book, I realized that it was going to end and I thought that was very sad.

Yes, they really DO have beards.

Actually, the Wand of Wonder IS in the game, the key you get from Windspear hills, the one which it says smells like sewer(in the description when you right-click on it.) can be used in the sewers under the Temple district to open the locked secret door(There are two.) behind that door you will find the Wand of Wonder and other things.

According to the manual you can only have a romance if you are human, elven, or half-elven.

I hate it that the 3 most annoying NPCs in the game are all clerics. I don't want to play a cleric, but I like having one in the party. Damned if I do, damned if I don't.

Anomen - Everything about this guy gets on my nerves. He is *the* most annoying NPC in the game, but the best cleric.

Viconia - I can't tolerate the Drow language that she spouts when I click on her. Makes me think of one of those Klingon speaking dorks at a sci-fi convention.

Aerie - Least offensive of the three, if I avoid the romance. Aerie is the reason I made my first female character.
