----------------------------------- Cervantes Sun Nov 27, 2005 8:24 pm Attack of the... what? Baldur's Gate NPC's? ----------------------------------- That's right. This duck theme has lived it's life. It's time for a new revolution. Presenting... The Baldur's Gate NPC Revolution For those who wish to join this revolution, you'll to do three things. You need to pick a Baldur's Gate character. Pick the coolest one you know., who hasn't been taken already. You need to set your avatar to an image of this character. I suggest using their portrait, though you can use other images if you wish. You can find a complete list of the portraits You'll also need a quote or two for your signature. Try Since Baldur's Gate is so rich in phenominal quotes, you may have difficulty deciding which quote to use. I know I did. And I'm still not satisfied. To that end, you may wish to cycle quotes. You could set up something like what beard0 has got. More on that will be coming. As always, Photoshop/GIMP editing the portraits is a good idea, just to add some originality to your avatar. In closing, I leave you with one of my favourite non-Minsc quotes. It comes from Tiax, a crazed gnome obsessed with ruling the planet. Tiax- You have disturbed Tiax the Grand again! Such insolence! Tiax will place a mark of shame upon your forehead! All will know your treachery! (casts) Tiax- Eh... it would appear that... the great and... mighty Tiax... has shrunk his undergarments... three sizes this day. Tiax- Excuse... the mighty Tiax... while he catches his... his breath... He will rule... later. Tiax- When Tiax rules, britches will not ride up so wedge-like. Thank you for your consideration, C'Minervansctes Baldur's Gate Revolution of CompSci.ca CEO ----------------------------------- md Sun Nov 27, 2005 8:29 pm ----------------------------------- No one had better even think of stealing Edwin from me...

I think i will keep my hacker duck for a bit and then swtich to somthing more intresting at the end of this month or go back to the old faithual avatar. ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sun Nov 27, 2005 8:36 pm ----------------------------------- Furthermore, I would like all who partake to post a little bit about your character, so the infidels who have not had the fortune to experiences Baldur's Gate can understand the quotes and the talk. Regarding my choice: Minsc is a mighty berserker warrior who has had several head wounds throughout his life that have made him lose his senses. Minsc takes great pride in his companion, Boo. Boo is a miniture giant space hamster. He shares Minsc's ideals, or so Minsc tells us. Minsc is a true hero: he is a champion in fighting evil. "Evil, meet my sword! SWORD, MEET EVIL!!" he yells when fighting Irenicus for the last time. In Baldur's Gate I, he had sworn to protect Dynaheir, a wizard. When Baldur's Gate II rolls around and you find yourself in a Irenicus' dungeon. Minsc is with you in a cell, shouting, "Minsc will be free! These bonds will not hold my wrath! Butts will be liberally kicked in good measure!". But Dynaheir was slain by Irenicus or his lackies. Minsc's mental condition worsens. He once asked Aerie, a winged elf cleric/mage, to become Minsc's new witch. Since Baldur's Gate I, Edwin wanted Dynaheir dead. He says, upon her death in BG1, "Checkmate! The witch is dead!" Minsc and Edwin are grave enemies. Watch it, Cornflake! :wink: I hope to see someone take The streets will run red with blood when my work is finished." You could add some devil horns to him pretty easily, I'd imagine. ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sun Nov 27, 2005 8:39 pm ----------------------------------- hummmm, this dose not sound as fun as the ducks. That's because you have not experienced the glory of Baldur's Gate. As Jon Irenicus, the villain of BG2, said, "Your actions affect so many others than yourself. You will come to realize how little choice you have. You will do what you must, become what you must, or others will pay for your cowardice. You *will* accept the gifts offered to you." ----------------------------------- Paul Sun Nov 27, 2005 8:59 pm ----------------------------------- I played Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II... anyone wanna tell me the fat dwarf's name? ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sun Nov 27, 2005 9:21 pm ----------------------------------- anyone wanna tell me the fat dwarf's name? Is it... Kromlech? I've never played the Dark Alliance series. It seemed too much like Diablo to me. Not that I mind Diablo, but the computer BG series allows for much more flexibility and interaction with NPC's. Plus, I don't have a PS2, or whatever other consoles it is available for. ----------------------------------- Martin Sun Nov 27, 2005 9:45 pm ----------------------------------- Swords not words!
