You get as much flavour out of your game as you put in.Here's an example of a pretty standard +2 scimitar, from BG2:Scimitar +2: 'Rashad's Talon'Named for Prince Rashad, former ruler of a minor principality to the East, this blade and many of the Prince's possessions were taken by disgruntled palace guards after his death. The role of the guards in the unfortunate affair was never determined, but rumor has it that all died within a year, slain by this very weapon. And a necklace of missiles:Necklace of Missiles:  'The One Gift Lost 'The naming of this necklace originates from its only owner, Ikaida Mourneve who quested to regain his kidnapped daughter.  Not many would help the determined father, but a kind and generous mage bestowed this item on him to aid his cause.  Alas, the necklace was lost when Ikaida dropped it into the Immerflow River while fending off bandits upon a suspension bridge.  Fortunately, it is rumored that the item was not needed to reunite the family once again. And boots of electrical resistance:Boots of Grounding:  'Talos' Gift'Untold years ago, the Fortress of the Starspire Peninsula was placed under the direct torment of Talos when a favored Stormherald was murdered there.  Talos promised the destruction of the city by earthquakes, its isolation by tidal waves, and the death of its citizens by storms.  One pair of these boots was bestowed to ensure that none but a single man would survive to tell the story of his wrath.  Later, travelers seeking fortune in the ruined city came upon an aged man, maddened by the continuous destruction around him; the boots he wore would carry to many a distant land the legend of a city consumed by a god's rage.</blockquote>
