You must be thinking I'm trying to be funny (or obnoxious =P) but while we're on the subject of Baldur's Gate favorites and I'm bored =P, what is your favorite character selection or command dialog? You know, those freakishly obnoxious sound bites that play when you select or issue a command to a character in your party.

Even if you can't stand em, at least one of em must be amusing.

The most amusing or absurd are bound to be the most favorite. Even though Minsc drives me up a wall with his asinine hysterics, my favorite is his 'Boo says, "WHAAAAT?'" I like the delivery XP

I have two favourites:
Khalid's "Click on someone your own size!" quote :D

The other one is not my favourite because it's funny, but because it's hillarious how an already disliked character is hated even more just because the quote is misunderstood.
It's Anomen's "Point the sword, and I shall strike!" one.
Maybe it's because I'm not native English, but for me this sentence always meant "(You) point (your) sword (the cursor...), and I shall strike (the enemy you pointed at, with my own weapon)."
When I found out that many people thinks that Anomen points his own sword, and started whining "but he is a cleric, he can't use swords WAAAAHHH!!!&#&@&!" I was like: "Seriously, people...? >_>"

... but one day, boom, he rules.

I know BG is known for those 4th wall breaks and many find them endearing but they always bothered me. It's hard to get wrapped up in a high fantasy adventure when characters have the incessant need to remind you that you're playing a game. At least Anomen's is subtle.

In any case, use of the word 'sword' could be figurative. Swords can be used to give directions in combat. He could have just as easily used 'flag' or 'finger' so in context a cleric would be using the term 'sword' to say 'give me orders.' But yeah, I think it's strongly implied to be the game cursor.

If your character happened to be a sword user, than his comment is not even breaking the 4th wall :)

We have a favorite class (2 actually), character, BG1 chapter, BG2 moments, party (2 of them), quotes and enemy quotes threads. I half expected a "favorite spell" thread before this one.

In BG1 I liked Garrick's song that goes "Brave, brave Sir Garrick ran away". I only heard it once. Does anyone else remember it? I now have the Gog BG1 & 2 all mixed up with some mods thrown in and I wonder if they have edited it out. It did make me laugh. When I was playing BG1 and 2 my daughter was an adolescent and she developed a crush on Anomen! That also made me laugh...!

Yes, I remember that line too. It happens on morale failure, i.e. when he actually runs away. If you have mods like TUTU that makes morale failure a lot less likely to happen, so you hear the lines less. (The one you'd hear most often was Khalid, who went: "Better part of valour! Better part of valour!" He had the lowest morale due to his timidity and ran away a lot.)

Anyway, my favourite bit is: "Edwin do this, Edwin do that. Someone get this jerk a banana."
