THE GREAT, BIG, PAIN-IN-THE-BUTT, SHADOWS-OF-AMN TRIVIA QUIZ!

[bigblades]

If I can still get a rank I'll venture guesses, but I don't know if I'll bother otherwise, pouring over those questions would take some time. I awarded myself 45 points offhand just by tallying the ones I knew offhand, but I'm sure I could get some more if I spent more than a minute at it. (I've beat the game 5x now and used every NPC in the game)

If I wanted to just get myself a mad rank, I could get my room mates in here to work together on this one. We all beat the game at least twice solo, and several several more times working through it multiplayer on our Lan.

Heh, good questions though, fun stuff.

The others are: Alustriel(one of seven daughters of Mystra, IIRC) and Piergeiron(have no clue to who he is or where he made an appearance, my guess would be that he is a governer of one of the Ten Towns).

Tancred is now the *2nd* person to get each and every one of the gods' nicknames right, and the Hearthkeeper is about as obscure as it gets. On the other hand, on the "Drow outside of the Underdark" question, he forgot Drizzt. (Did you hear that? That was the sound of Tancred smacking himself upside the head.) [/QB][/QUOTE]

Yep, you got that right. D'OH! Oh well... about as good as I'm ever gonna get, I guess...

Roll on the next quiz! *psyched*

I was reading this out of boredom and I thought, I'm not a frequent poster!! Then I noticed the date lol

*cough* I haven't played BG2 for over a year now but uh, I'll give it a go. I can see some I still know the answer too but most I'll be guessing . I'll pm you some answers later SoS [img]smile.gif[/img] . LOL pming the answers will be better really. Then no one will see how little I can remember [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

SomeGuy: A PM containing all the correct answers is on the way.

bigblades: Yes, I'm still scoring responses, and will continue to do so until interest in this quiz officially lags (again). You may want to take the full test on your own, and then do one with your roommates, just to see where the differences are.

Aelia Jusa: So who cares about a little rust? I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at just how well your head can retain completely useless bits of information for years at a time. Hey, now *I* just had an unpleasant thought: If I wasn't so full of this kind of trivia about Baldur's Gate, I'd probably be spouting off about insignificant details of my favorite football teams or something.

I'm very impressed with this latest batch of answers. I thought Aelia Jusa's was good, especially considering her 1-year hiatus.....and then I saw Olorin's....and then I saw pcgiant's. Dude, pcgiant, do you play BG in your sleep or something? 12 more points and you would have been Bhaal himself, truly worthy of the full power of the divine blood that we all share.

FYI, a Chinchilla is a small mammal native to South America, with very soft, gray fur (garments made of chinchilla are quite expensive), and it looks like a cross between a small rabbit and a large squirrel. I believe it eats plants and insects. A Viekang is a person who lives in Trademeet, and freaks out and vanishes in a bolt of lightning the moment he sees you. I believe he eats plants, but not insects. (Garments made of Viekang are extremely rare.)

[Sir Goulum]

Grr! Can I take it one more time? I'm bound to get more right! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[pcgiant]

While I have been known to sleep-walk, I have not (yet) developed my skills into sleep-game playing.

If I'm allowed another chance, I know I can get more points, too. I overlooked a certain Tiefling while doing the 'NPC held against will' question. He's just so easy to overlook, that's all.

So pleeease, can I get another chance?
Also, can you tell me which ones I got right, please?

[Sir Exxon]

When is the new one going to be done? I know I didn't answer this one, but I'll definatly give the new one a try. [img]smile.gif[/img]
