Pantaloons

[cheesemage]

dont get yer pantaloons in a knot

[tommy]

i appear to be out of the loop. what do you use the silver pantaloons for?

[Xyx]

This stinks! It's no way near funny OR heroic.

*I* will be replaying BG1 before I get to ToB anyway, but...

Were people supposed to have their BG1 character actually lug those pantaloons around until the end of the game?

[Yshania]

Looks like it!

Pantaloons the great enigma of Faerun!

Well to be honest I do not remember crossing the first pair in BGI and was not evil enough to obtain the second pair in BGII. So it does stink that only "evil" chars will get access to such .... (avoiding spoiling)

Believe it. That's just a page from the strategy guide. Plenty of other spoilers have been revealed on the Black Isle boards (not always in the spoiler section).

I think it's a pretty funny easter egg. You CAN'T get the pantaloons without cheating or playing all the way from BG1. It's something to amuse longtime fans who have been wondering about the pantaloons, not a nefarious encouragement of munchkinism (that would be the other new items).

I still don't believe it. The existence of something that immensely retarded flies in the face of all the respect I've built up for the Bioware people.
Besides, no one ever said you can't put jokes in strategy guides. Especially on a side bar.

[Irenin]

Hrmm....thats interesting lol.

[Drakron Du´Dark]

Ha ha ha....
I dont think that is all a big joke but a real item.
The funny thing is.....to pass small doors .

They called it the "Big Metal Unit?" Can't they be a little more imaginative?

I have them both with one of my characters. After I read that baldurdash story about the pantaloons I went back through bg1 and got them, then got the silver ones in bg2. Yay . Knew it would bring me something cool, just didnt think it would be THAT lol. That thing is insanely powerful, kinda comical though.

[Drakron Du´Dark]

Well I have gone to the BIO forum and unless DaveG was joking count that in.
There is a lot of things that I will not do in ToB in relation to certain weapons and upgrades, That "thing" is one of those things I have decided not to make.
People are using the guide (and its badly done, acording to the people that have it) for posting certain things.
That "armor" is uber but its just a inside type of joke (and it certaily appels to the powergamers) that have little to due with the game.
Consider it a "easter egg" by BioWare staff.

Yeah it would be stupid to use that. I mean -10 ac? LOL. Good Luck killing my berz.

[Agnocar]

Ok, thanks for answering my question, but I have one additonal question for you:
What are the CLUA Console commands to create the two pantaloons? I think I remember seeing the topic a while back, but a search revealed I must be in error. Well, in any case, any help you render is most appreciated.

[Metatron]

I, too, played through BG1 and 2 again for pretty much the express purpose of collecting the pantaloons; so certain was I that whatever joke or easter egg is associated with the pantaloons enigma would be worth the time and effort.

That is not worth the effort. Right now it feels like they've turned an otherwise funny easter egg (the gold pantaloons) into a highly unfunny quest to get the other pantaloons, resulting in the reciept of an incredibly stupid item for the edification of power gamers and munchkins. I mean, get real!

Just for the record, I still plan on getting the remaining pantaloons on the off chance that this nonsense plays out differently. But if I do recieve the item in question, I'm definitely going to discard it.

[JLallone]

What if this only leads us further? What if this unit thing is not whereable by anyone? It will only make the enigma go further!

And I have heard everyone say that some guy in BG1 actually comments on your pantaloons, what does he say?????? I never heard this guy!!!! WHAT DOES HE SAY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD?????!!!!!
