BG1 TRIVIA #4!!

[Papa Schlumpf]

Out of curiosity, was a similar quiz ever made for BG2?

[SixOfSpades]

Yes, actually. Go here to view the list of "Classic Threads," and scroll down to Miscellaneous.

[ADD] Huh--why doesn't the URL work? Okay, go to the BG2 forum and find the Classic Threads post, stickied at the top.

[Dragonshadow]

A quick sorry to you all about my lack of replys to the quiz. I was halfway through filling it in when my laptop broke, and got taken away to be repaired. I was hoping that I would have got it back soon, but I may not for another six weeks.
I enjoyed what I got to do from the quiz though.

[Lord]

Congrats to Six on pulling away with the title again. I expected scores to be lower overall this time, but I was wrong. The scores were pretty impressive.

There is no plan for a trivia 5 at the moment. I have a few questions left over from this trivia that I scraped simply on the grounds that they were outrageously difficult. Maybe one day I'll just compile a small handful of very difficult questions and let you all at it. Who knows?

[Ilyich]

82 points. Not bad for a 1st timer.
