    *spoiler*

    You meet Drizzt and his party after returning from the Underdark at a RANDOM location.

    Elminster can only be met in BG, not in BG2.

    That's not true, exactly. You meet Elminster in disguise if you have Jaheira in the party and do her quests. He'll be called Terminsel.

    Bleah, why would you want to meet Elminster any ways??? He is just Ed Greenwood munchkin character. He sucks moose cocky. Drizzt is a more believeable character than Elmunchkin there. I hate his guts. In the Forgetton realms book it seems that hes gotten more powerful and they made drizzt weaker. His one weapon came down from a +4 to a +2 enchantment!!! Oh well, atleast hes not a munchkin character for some geekaziod freak. Although i think salvatore is a horrible writer. Anyhoot, i'm rambling.


    If anyone cares, did you know there is a forgetton realms tv show in the works?!?!?!

    neato

    laters.

    Hey did you know Elminster aka Ed Greenwood :p is quite popular according to black isle, did you know he has his own Forgotten Realms book? It explains how he was a farmer and became a powerful mage. Thought im not sure if the story includes his conversing with the protagonist.

    Ed Greenwood is a farmer in real life. Atleast he lives on a farm somewhere in Ontario canada.

    [​IMG] 1. About Elminster. There is a trilogy about him "The Making of a Mage", he's got some Godly blood in him. There are 4 major characters in F Realms. The Mage (ELMINSTER), the priest (CADDERLY), the RANGER (DRIZZT) and the thief(assasin, rather- ARTEMIS ENTRERI). They all have books written about them, though Artemis appears more in Drizzt books, than he has his own.
    2.strange_machine ---- about the TV-series; yeah, I read it's gonna be made. But the makers areeeeeeee.... The same people who create Hercules and Xena!!! And that idiotic series has made its way even to Croatia, and nobody watches it here. That's right, because it sucks so mush ass!

    Yup, that'd be him... sorry, but Khalid never made that good an impression on me in BG1 :)

    Besides, I wanted Jaheira to be mine in from the moment I walked into her in the Friendly Arms Inn ;)
