You know you've been playing BGII too long when...

Remove all ads!

You get home from the Supermarket with a turnip in your bag.
You look at your room and think "Nature could find a home here, but it's gotta be cleansed and balanced"
After a sh***y day you look for life's reload button so you can do it again properly.

 

...when you're surrounded by club hotties asking what Baldur's Gate 2 is in regards to the BG2 T-Shirt you're wearing while your bud who went with you is stealing items from their pockets to sell for money so we can get Janice out of jail.

Syl...

When you nearly pass out from hunger pains, but still don't stop playing because you're "in a groove." (that in addition to the fact that there's nothing in the fridge because you haven't bought groceries in a month)

 

You know your addicted to BG2 when you go to a club and try to cast dire charm on one of the women.

 

When ur still up at 5 in the morning and ur mum comes down and starts to giving u hell

I'm talking from experience here

 

...When you really, really wish that the Ring of Human Influence exists...
hahhaha

 

When you start referring to your backpack as "the bag of holding".

When you tell your friends and co-workers about the dragon or lich you slew and expect them to be all amazed.

When you tell your doctor "just give me a couple of potions, I'll be okay after I rest for 8 hours".

You just can't stop playing, and you wonder briefly what happened to your family, then forget about them again...

You buy a bow and ask the guy at the sporting goods store for +2 arrows to go with it.

You get to know people on a Baldur's Gate 2 message board...

 

Lol, well said Balduran

 

when you feel an overwhelming urge to hit a spacebar, any spacebar, whenever you find yourself in a position where you need to regroup...or even just to pause the TV

I just did that and embarrassed the hell out of myself, and I'm the only one home.

 

When you catch yourself refering to the price of something in Gold Pieces. Did that recently with the GF, in a restaurant and I said "I`ll sort out payment for the drinks, its only about 20 gold". I could have died!!!

When you want to leave the pub but wait for your friends, since you have to gather your party before leaving ....

 

When you go to a church concert and you realize that some of the choirs songs would have served as excellent background music in the temple district....

regards from Denmark

 

when you say 'coo!' instead of cool all the time... What DOES that word mean anyways? COO!

--t4sK

 

When you go into a public room and you follow a nobleman/woman's words "Get away from me commoner." or "Keep away from me peasant."

 

When you try to cast that nice silence 15" on your chattering mother....

 

When you instead of shouting and cursing with your idoitic younger brother, u start reciting the spell for polymorph other in hope that you can turn him into a squrriel.

When you say, "You seek my counsel, yes?" in a Japanese voice when someone is about to ask you a question.

When you are studying very hard into the night and suddenly it occurs to you that you should rest to memorize all the text.

 

I am in the mood for this.....

1. When yr girlfriend called up and says she's going out wt a mature old man.

2. When yr parents went out to adopt a son.

3. When yr boss send you to Africa for job assignment.

4. When you start receiving "miss you" or "condolences" cards fm yr party mates.

5. When yr insurance agent rejects yr life policy application.

6. When you shout insults like "Son of a lich" when you actually mean "bitch".

7. When you play tennis, you use 2 racquets just because you like to dual wield.

8. When you start having wet dreams about Viconia principal!!???

9. When yr church minister come over and says "GOD forgive yr sins, my son".

10. My favourite......When I am using my worktime to send messages like this on the board.

Syl/Tal, thumbsup for a great board. I thoroughly enjoy it.

 

You know you've been playing BG to long when...

you pickpocket every local merchant in search for a ring of regenerating.

you start searching as many potions of Genius before your final exam.

you have looked at every map but are still clooking for Amn.

you pay a merchant 50gp to look at his special wares.

you start calling your teacher an Umber Hulk, because he contstantly confuses you.
