I'm not sure if this has been done or not but I was wondering what are your favorite quotes from the game mine are:

"Tiax shall rule all"

"One day Tiax shall be the one to point and click!"

"Heya it's me Imoen"

and most everything Minsc has ever said lol. I'm really trying not to use the dialogs I love...those quotes have made me squirt milk out of my nose and onto my keyboard to my never ending horror

[Vicen]

Alot that Edwin says is quite funny and catchy along with Keldorn always saying such righteous things

Not sure as I have a favorite too many to list!

[Sir_Carnifex]

Two that really catch my attention are by Khalid.

"If at first I don't succeed...well...the wife will never let me forget."

"Why don't you click on someone your own size?"

[darlarosa]

sometimes I miss Khalid

[Menelanna]

Here are some of mine:

Xan:

"This quest is in vain..."
"What is the point?"

Xzar:
"STOP TOUCHING ME!!!!"

Garric:
with moral failure: "Brave brave Sir Garric ran way!"

Coran:
with very low health: "It is only a flesh wound."

random bear in BG1:
"Booboo! Don't forget the pincin baskets!" (yes a brown bear does say that if you keep clicking it)

[Icendoan]

Coran's one is a mild refence to Monty Python's Holy Grail, the Black Knight.

My favourite one, from Edwin.

"Elminster this, Elminster that... Give ME a 2000 years and a pointy hat and I'll kick his arse!"

Another good one is;

"Nobody here but us chickens..." and

"Ouch! Uhh... Moooooooo!"

Point for whoever finds out who says this;

"Never let your warriors shoot the food"

I can't remember the exact line but when spectator says something like this:

"Well, he did say "my chest, my chest!" when the spear went right through his chest. So he could have meant that. *sigh*"

And as a shameless Anomen fan, I like the quote "My lady"

[Sammi Somara]

I dont remember the exact wquote, but when the PC gets angry at PPortalbenderwinden and threatens to 'shove a blunt object rougly the size of elminster AND his hat' up his ass or something like that.

[Zyraen]

"I can dance on a head of a pin as well."
"I'm sure all manner of stupid mousetraps await our toes in the dark."
"I am ready... I think."
"Hiii yah! Heh, the tourists love that stuff."
"All the world is blind to my passing." <== omg I SO LOVE this line the way he says it is SO COOL!

"You cannot hope to defeat me."
"Who dares!?"
"You're but a gnat before my power."
"Life... is strength."

[Sir_Carnifex]

I also like what Khalid says when I put him in the leader role...

"If - if you wish, but I'm not a very inspiring leader."

I almost always put him in the lead slot for a minute every time I play just to hear that.

[Deva]

I'm with Zyraen.

Basically anything Yoshimo says. He is so totally the best.

[Crazee]

One of the PC lines, when he's/she's talking to some undead opponent somewhere always makes me laugh. It's something along the lines of:

Charname: You'll eat flesh over my dead body! Wait a second ...

Yes, yes, it's crude. I'm crude. No poking fun. I'll have to look up the proper line sometimes.

[Choo Choo]

I have lots, but a noteworthy one is Imoen's line to the imp in Watcher's Keep.

"I'm not sure whether to be impressed by your unshakeable devotion to duty, or appalled at your complete lack of initiative."

[SConrad]

I'm not sure if this has been done or not

Yes, it has been done before, as shown by one simple use of the search function.

You must gather your party before venturing forth.

Yes, it has been done before, as shown by one simple use of the search function.

I think it's inevitable that some threads are going to be reborn, especially four years later when we have many new members who don't want to re-open very old threads. It shows that there are common interests that endure beyond some of the active memberships. The new "Cameras Please!" in the Rec Room is a good example of this.

But thanks for the heads-up, Seb. It's always worth seeing if something is lurking in the archives and when it was put there.

Yes. Hence, my post is more about the question of whether this has been done before--but also (and more importantly) directing members to actually use the search function before starting new threads with saying "I'm not sure if this has been said before." Using the search function is a quick easy way to actually answer your own question, if you wonder whether something's been covered or not. Every member should consider using it before creating a new topic--especially if you intend to start it as described.

I've seen more threads like that than I care to count, and they usually involve bugs that already have been resolved, ideas that already have been presented or discussion topics that already have been exhausted. For modders and other forum regulars, threads like that are nothing but annoying and/or a complete waste of our time, since we have to type the same things all over again, or redirect/merge/move as appropriate. I shudder to think how much of my time I've spent reiterating or pointing people in the right direction--just because the member in question didn't take a minute to think about what they were doing before clicking that "Post New Topic" button--when I could have been making mods for the user to enjoy or improving the SHS website/forum instead.

(If I had a problem with this particular topic, I would have made those concerns clear--and probably disallowed or attempted to stem further replies. As that's not the case--please, carry on, but use the search function next time.)

The new "Cameras Please!" in the Rec Room is a good example of this.

The difference being that the (one single) old "Cameras, please" are no longer with us, while the three quotations threads are accessible for anyone by merely searching for "quotes" in the BG Gameplay forum. That's how I found them.

[Icendoan]

I just found Minsc's hidden line! (Two person party in Sylmar, I was a Blade, he scouted for me)

'None can see me, but my battlecry may give me away'. The voice acting for it is superb.

"I'm not sure whether to be impressed by your unshakeable devotion to duty, or appalled at your complete lack of initiative."

When does Imoen say this line. It's brilliant, one of my favorites (and it's appeared in other threads about quotes), but I can't ever remember it in game.

On the Chromatic Demon level of WK. You meet the imp before you can open the door to the chamber were that big fan controls circulation to the different chambers. Have Imoen in front, which is normal if she's clearing traps, so that the imp addresses her.
