Talk:Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn

This article includes a lot of opinion that appears not to match Wikipedia's article standards. I would recommend a tagging for re-writing in an objective fashion.

Voting

After looking at the prominent npc's i think what would be a good addition to the list if we add the "half" charater known as... Lilarcor: the Sentient Sword.

i've came up with reasons why he should be added:

1.Since the list has some important and unimportant characters, lilarcor would be perfect.

2. If you do the quest, equip him to a fighter, he can talk to you.

3. He is (in the game) more important then Amaunator.

what do you think?

I would say sure, go ahead! The Lilarcor article isn't linked to anywhere, so that would be good I think. Poulsen 10:19, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Is there any fansites for this game?

I don't see any in the links place, there has to be someplace that has more help and information on the game.

Google is your friend. Wikipedia tries to be an encyclopedia, not a place for lists of fansite links. Poulsen 10:59, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

GameFAQs is a good source for help and information, but I think a section about the mod community and possibly links to some of the more notable mods (tutu, etc) would be a good addition. 138.110.215.33 19:09, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Basic info on mods can be found in the Baldur's Gate series article. Poulsen 22:31, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

There definitely needs to be a sub-section/link to a notable mods section. H

I found tis site on google <<http://www.planetbaldursgate.com/>>

Xp?

Someone said he worked this game on Xp but that isn't conirfimed in this article so do we need to put this infomation here? Daniel no

It works fine in XP, and in Vista too! (just play it as administrator in compatibility mode, you get this right clicking in the icon)

It works just fine. The add/remove programs app in the control panel doesn't recognize the installation that well, but it works. --Russoc4 (talk) 12:29, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Interface

Block quote

I seem to be having a problem with the interface,for some reason,after i return from the pause screen,i only have a few seconds to use anything on the shortcuts,such as a spell,hiding in the shadows,guarding,and playing bard song,also,after that time is up,if im doing anything that requires a shortcut to be clicked,such as detecting traps,it will stop,does anyone know if this is a bug or is this just the way the interface is designed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.156.48.83 (talk) 21:09, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

NPC's

why does the NPC table inclued Lilarcor and Amaunator? They are not of any importance if they are added why not add tazok if we relly need a list of people in the game it would need it's own page. Not that there is anything wrong with that;) 30/september/07 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.237.228.133 (talk) 07:28, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Lord Foreshadow

I have fixed the tidbit under trivia, as Lord Foreshadow hinted at Neverwinter, not Athkatla. --58.165.106.163 (talk) 16:41, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

He actually also hints at Neverwinter AND Athkatla...Dialogue as follows.

"....I'll have to look into such sundries when I next attend one of Lord Ribald's full dress costume affairs. I'd be the talk of Neverwinter, I would." "Lord" Ribald could be referring to Ribald Barterman, who is in Athkatla in BG2.

"....I do, however, make a point of keeping in touch with Neverwinter, though I have only visited once previously. It was quite popular in those nights, if I recall correctly. I'm going to make a second trip in the coming year, and I'll wager it will be as popular again." This probably is referring both the 1991 release of Neverwinter Nights and the plans for continuing the series to a newer release.

"....I have busied myself with destinations more distant, and have traveled to the great city of Athkatla on one occasion or another. You should really consider visiting there sometime. 'Tis likely to be very popular in the future." Indisputably a reference to Athkatla, where BG2 is set.

There's another bit of foreshadowing in the second area of the Cloakwoods, in the spider's den. The improbably fat woman Centeol is initially hostile, but under certain circumstances (I think charming her with Charm Person was one; I forget), she can be persuaded to speak at length.

"The archmage, Jon Irenicus, cursed me for indignities done to him and his wife by me. I loved Jon, but now I hate him, as I hate you and everything."

I seem to recall that there was also some foreshadowing of some sort in the Nashkel graveyard, but am not certain about that.

On the other hand, I'm reluctant to stick all this in the trivia section because that section already looks a little unwieldy to me; it really should be broken down and integrated as relevant. Coanda-1910 (talk) 07:06, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
