I think the weirdest thing I did in BG1 was, after a few days of wandering boredly around, I discovered a cheat page, and gave myself like 50 million wands of Polymorph...Then I went to Nashkel and turned the entire town into squirrels! And because it's not really an offensive spell, nobody got angry! They just sat there and were...Y'know..._Squirrels_. http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
In BG2, the weirdest thing I did was kill Irenicus at the final battle before I actually got to him by pressing Ctrl+J (Or whatever the cheat is), just to see what would happen. When I got to him, when I held my cursor over him, it said: "Jon Irenicus: DEAD", but he was still fighting and casting spells and stuff! So I had to cast a resurrection spell & then a bunch of healing spells, and then kill him properly! It was all very repetative... http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

The most insane/fun thing I did in bg2 was attacking Firkraag with a level 9/10 party. Whole party was dragon food the first 5 times. I finally defeated him (after and hour and a half), but Minsc died by Firkraag's melee attacks (which make people explode and their portraits disappear; no ressurction). I was too friggin fed up with the dragon so I went on without Minsc for the game. |

Had a friend over a while back, and I was showing him the game. Started a new one, with an ugly kensai. Set this guy to just stagger around Irenicus' dungeon, letting him bleed all over the place. Got to the room with the mephit portals, saved, and then threw him in there with 12hp. Somehow, he managed to survive with his AI script. That was a moment of total incomprehension. |

In BG1. Went a bit berserk in Baldurs Gate. Got attacked by those damned Flaming Fist people. Discovered that one of them had a cool looking helmet but never had the time to identify it because I got killed. Planned my escape from FF with the helmet and succeeded - after trying a lot. Result: Decorative Helmet!!! Disappointed. |

The first time i entered waukeen's promenade, after coming out of irenicus's dungeon. i entered the town and tried to pickpocket from some civilians. they turned hostile on me right away so i killed them both. then i venture into the temple there, and the priest is hostile, so i kill him as well. then the shop keepers are hostile, so i butchered him as well. i kept killing civilians until my reputation was like at 2. then those coweled enforcers came in after me, so needless to say i had to reload at that point. i was playing chaotic evil so i was trying to hard to be evil, i had to tone it down next time.

Well, Yacobod, at least you properly represented your chosen alignment, Chaotic Evil, with about the only thing you could play as a result: a raving sociopath. Now you know, too, why Chaotic Evil is nonsense in an RPG. Nobody would train a raving sociopath, and no society would tolerate one for more time than it takes to spread the word.
The coolest thing was in a sister game, P:T. I'd developed the thief, Annah, into a relatively powerful ninja. There's one dungeon where a very powerful sword (Trias', for those who know) was guarded by a legion of elite warriors. During my first runthrough, I'd hacked my way around, receiving quite a bit of damage. During my second, I only used Annah. She'd hide, spot a target, attack (usually knocking half their hitpoints off), run, hide, wait for a guard or two to catch up, kill, run, hide, etc. It worked beautifully. And she never once got hit. Best integration I've seen of the backstab in a CRPG.

Another insane thing:
I played BG2 with an evil party,wandered around in Athkatla,doing all the city quests, with a reputation of 1. Result: fought and defeated the petty law enforcers time and again til I amassed around 700,000 gold pieces and hit the experience cap at the end of chapter three. Then I left for Brynn Law...

|  I took on the Tiwsted Rune and managed to kill Shangalar, beholder, vampire, but shanglar casted symbol fear, and the mage burnt them with a meteor swarm. My pc had been drained 8 levels, and most of my party was in really bad state, but we almost won.  |

First time through BG2, I rushed through Irenicus' Dungeon and came out about 8th lvl. I stumbled across the lich in the bridge district and beat it in about 3 min, but I lost Minsc to the pit fiend. I thought, "This was easy. I'll reload and see if I can do it without losing anyone."  Famous last words. No save or anything. Needless to say, after an hour and a half of getting my tail kicked, I settled for resurrecting Minsc and Jaheira. Beginner's luck, I guess!

First time I saw Firball (Firkraag for those unsure of my pet name for the beast) I charged at him with everyone. One single wing buffet and my whole team went woooosh! Took me three times before I even realised I wasn't even hitting him! Blasted stoneskin!
Then I discovered Breach! 
I just recently had a party of 4 level 9 guys and beat the crap out of both the shadow dragon and Firball without too much of an injury. A healing spell here, a restoration spell there and we're all done
Most crazy thing was let Edwina talk to salvanas in the copper coronet! WHOOSH! Whole place hated me!
That and releasing pit fiends in trademeet Run my pritties!
