Baldur's Gate 25 Baldur's Gate II 4 Because Minsc and Boo

I would up-vote NWN1 just to keep the squabbling going a little longer but that would be unworthy of a paladin so I will hold my peace. I'm not surprised it's come down to these four, though, or that BG is way ahead of the pack. There was (is) something special about BG.

#76 (because numbering) You discover that, by studying the minute movements of his eyebrows, you are able to read your DM's mind. You must keep this knowledge to yourself and never give any clue that you know what is coming next in the game. Casually mentioning ten-foot poles when entering a...

The door behind him slammed open, waking him instantly to the horrors that were surely to come… As Edgwin turned to face the door that was to be his nemesis, he pressed his back to the wall to quell the shuddering that wracked his frame. He tried to summon up some shred of resolve to deny this...

Without warning, the stub of the dead candle reignited flaring up and cast horrendous gothic shadows upon the chamber walls… … shadows that seemed to spell out a terrible doom befalling the miserable wretch who beheld them - an implacable, inescapable curse laid upon a soul riven in twain by...

The Door Edgwin sighed. His meagre funds would get him poor lodgings in this town, flooded as it was with adventurers of every stripe boasting bags of coin to spare. The landlord of the Four Ferrets had scornfully shown him the worst room imaginable, a windowless cell under the eaves with...

We go right and stand in the midst of everything imaginable, imagining that the door to the left is open and leads to a chamber full of unimaginable delights, which are missing from the right room because they are unimaginable. You're going to tell me that the unimaginable delights are guarded...

DM: You come to a doorway but there is no actual door. The passage continues 30ft ahead. Brother Candle: "Let us give thanks to the keeper of doors and pray for its speedy return." Paranoid Albert: "But why is there no door here? It could be a trick! Perhaps it's an invisible door?" Fingers...

Suddenly ... nothing happened. Time stopped. The universe and everything in it ceased to move. The speed of light became zero. Physics would have unravelled except that it couldn't because it couldn't get from a state where it was working to a state where it wasn't and had to be content with...

Give the player a single boot, not a pair. When the player complains, point out that the boot's on the other foot. The ensuing mental confusion on the part of said player will give you the space to usher the newly monobooted person out of the house, to hop along the street. This leaves you with...

He took a breath, righted his now impressive seven-foot body, gripped his battleaxe and opened the door… "They're not here yet," said Jak the one-eyed barkeeper. "Who aren't here yet?" "The others. Check the old Fish thread. They turn up on the 7th of May. You're two weeks early." ClaW was...

Dawn rushed into the Dolphin Arms just a Nam Draz'il was rushing out and the resulting collision added to the rushes on the rush-strewn floor. (Some low-class ale houses just have sawdust on the floor but Burgel ran a classy establishment.) Burgel greeted the hares as old friends and was soon...
