favorite dialogue (non-romance)

violence · Post by **violence** » Fri Jun 22, 2001 10:51 am

so which character's dialogue do you like the best. OR the least.

I love Korgan's dialogue. He usually voices what I'm already thinking. "quit you whining I'm gonna gut you" type stuff

My least favorite is Aerie. Well, no I take that back. All of the Lawful good characters tie for my least favorite. I'll skin 'em all

Like -
Minsc: "Do not teach my hamster to suck eggs."

Hate:
Cernd: "It's amazing how people look to nature for their buildings."

Some of what Aerie says too..

Viconia all the way! No other NPC can insult each and every party member that well within 15 minutes from joining

Cespenar is quickly becoming my favorite NPC of all time (even threatening to dethrone Minsc from the dais of RPG One-Liners and Schtick).

I think my favorite Cespenar quote so far is "Demanding you is. Remind me of Bhaal on mornings after big drinking binge, maybe."

Minsc: Boo is just a tiny hamster and there is much of Minsc to search.

Armadin of Clan Geddin · Fri Jun 22, 2001 12:21 pm

Spectator - Visitors! It has been some time since I have had anyone but the mad little Sahuagin come to this place... and that one is not full of riveting conversations.

Ah --- but I see you hesitate. No doubt you have heard of my kind before, or even met some. You call us Beholders... yes, I think that is the term you use.

I am but a Spectator Beholder, however, and not quite like he others you may have met. I am set in this place to guard one thing and one thing only.

I will not attack you... unless you try to touch what I guard. Touch anything else you'd like! Provided you weren't driven by the imps back there.

Gabriel - What is it, exactly, that you guard?

Spectator - Just the chest behind me. You are welcome to open the others with the imps, or do whatever else... I'm not here to do anything about them in the slightest.

I think the Sahuagin looted the other chests long ago. They might have put some stuff of theirs around here, though, thinking I would scare off thieves.

... oh, that reminds me. I promised that mad little Sahuagin I would make an effort to scare off intruders...

So... boo!

And that's about as much effort as I'm willing to put into that. (sigh) It's been a pretty lonely experience so far, you know.

Gabriel - Do you know what's in the chest you're guarding?

Spectator - Not a clue. I wouldn't recommend touching it, though. I haven't had any real excitement in a long time, but I've no compulsion towards killing, you know.

Gabriel - Is there no way I can release you from your task?

Spectator - Awww, that's sweet. Short of death, there isn't any way to shorten the 40 years I have left... and I'm not eager to greet the Beyond just yet.

Gabriel - Just how did you end up here, anyway?

Spectator - Mmm. I was summoned by a mad little drow who took over this part of the Sahuagin city a long time ago. This chest was extremely important to him, apparently.

The Sahuagin were attacking, and he didn't want them to get the chest after he died... so 'POOF!' in I came, attached to a 99 year contract. Only 40 years to go.

The drow wasn't much more entertaining than the Sahuagin, really. He smelled better, though. I don't think I'll ever be able to stomach fish again... yech.

To top it off, I got stuck with the drow's imps, too, which are bound here but keep teleporting away from the Sahuagin. I wish they would just go away.

I mean, I can only play 'I spy' and 'peek-a-boo' so many times without getting tired of it, but not THEM, oh no. Rotten impish bastards.

Gabriel - Er... just how can you smell without a nose?

Spectator - What, you think I can't smell because I got the one-big-eye thing going? How much do you know about magic, anyway? You're almost as bad as those imps.

Gabriel - What's with those imps, anyway?

Spectator - Oh, they've been here since the drow who summoned me was slaughtered... Sixty years with only two imps and a mad fish-king for company. Is this hell?

There's a chest in there that the Sahuagin put something valuable in. Always whispered the incantation to open it, though. Like *I* would care.

The imps figured out the incantation. I suppose they told you, if you didn't squish 'em on the spot. Not that I would be sad, exactly, to see them gone...

Gabriel - Are you *sure* I can't see what's inside this chest?

Spectator - What? Are you in desperate need, or something? You have a dying relative that desperately needs what's in this chest?

OH, I get it! You just HAVE to have what's in this chest, right? Because if a Beholder's guarding it, it HAS to be cool!

Keep in mind that the drow who summoned me was mad. But, hey, who am I to judge, I suppose. I've been playing tic-tac-toe with a pair of imps for sixty years.

...sigh...

Oh... in case you didn't hear an answer in that: no, you CAN'T look at what's in the chest. The drow specifically summoned me to guard *this* chest.

Gabriel - Did the drow summon you to guard the chest or what's inside the chest?

Spectator - Hmmmm. Well, he screamed 'my chest', as I recall. A spear was being thrust through his own chest, though, so he could have been referring to that.

I assume he was talking about *this* chest, though. And that means I can't let you open it... or do anything to it... even if I'm not guarding what's inside.

Gabriel - But that doesn't mean *you* can't open it, right? Then I could get what's inside without touching anything.

Spectator - Hey, you're probably right. Hmmm. Actually, I've been wondering what was inside. Tell you what... I won't turn around and you just go take a look, ok?

-----

Spectator - Hmph. Is that it? Shoot, you'd have though the future of the drow race depended on it or something, the way that mad drow was screaming.

(sigh) I suppose I have to resign myself, now, to guarding a completely empty chest for the next forty years. Yay.

Imoen - You wouldn't have to do that, would you? Keep guarding an empty chest? What would be the point?

Spectator - Huh. You know... you're absolutely right. Not even that drow mage would want me to guard an empty chest. It's not even a *nice* chest.

There's no way that the Beholder Council, bloated bladder-bags that they are, would hold me responsible for this contract! I... I'm free! Free!! Yippee!

What to do now? Hmmn. Kill the imps... yeah. Those bastards deserve to die. But first I'm gonna go eat something. You have *no* idea how hungry I am.

LOL, yeah that is the coolest beholder in the game... good thing he is back in ToB

Oh, and I love it when Viconia screams "Victory is ours.... YOU KNOW THIS!"

I like the dialogue of the Pride and Greed daemons in Hell,and Jaheira's and Korgan's talks...

I hate all of Anomen's comments...

violence · Post by **violence** » Fri Jun 22, 2001 1:27 pm

i forgot about a couple. First of all, I Hate Gaalan's "Coo!" THat has got to be the most annoying sound.

I really like the dialogue with the poor beggar in the bridge district, the one where you are trying to get the hide from him. Pretty much anyway you go about it is funny, but I go about it the evil way which (as usual) is the best.

Nightfire · Post by **Nightfire** » Fri Jun 22, 2001 3:21 pm

Among my favourites are the Spectator (of course!), Yoshimo's and Keldorn's conversation about knights and bawdy songs, Minsc's declaration that I need a hamster or maybe an ice weasal of my own, some of the conversations with NPCs about your heritage (Keldorn comes to mind), and the dialogues wih Sarevok and the demons in the Nine Hells. Oh, and the party members' comments before the two battles with Irenicus were also great.

Least favourite dialogues include anything with Gaelan Bayle (for Bhaal's sake, what an accent) and nobles or Cowled Wizards of any description (for Bhaal's sake, what an attitude). The whining nobles with their overblown egos are even more aggravating than the infamous "You must gather your party ..." message. Gah!

Keldorn: I must say, ye bard, that I find the use of your musical abilities during combat to be most effective. Play on, I say.

Haer'Dalis: Aye, and ye can stride into the forefront, ye hound. I'll just hang around in the back awhile, truly enough.

Keldorn: I hardly thought I'd see you timid, Haer'dalis.

Haer'Dalis: More bored than timid, Lord Keldorn. With your blade a'glittering in the sun like that, you leave few foes for me to challenge.

Keldorn: Nay, good man, they flee not from the brightness of my sword but from the sheer wretchedness of your playing!

Haer'Dalis: Ha! 'Twill be music to my ears to wrap this lute about your head, someday, my aging hound. Now go out there with your blade once again and make yourself useful, aye?

Viconia: Minsc, that tattoo on your face. Does it have tribal significance or did some nursery's fingerpainting class assault you with blue pastels?

Minsc: I do not like the tone of your voice, dark elf! The face I have is the face the ladies love! Boo loves Minsc's face, too. Don't you Boo?

Xyx · Post by **Xyx** » Fri Jun 22, 2001 4:09 pm

Edwina: What!? Why do you stare at me so, barbarian?!

Minsc: You bear handsome features, though they are familiar, too. Edwin's sister perhaps? Aye, Boo sees the resemblance. You are his superior in your manner though.

Edwina: I AM Edwin, you lumbering fool! Can you not comprehend this?!

Minsc: I don't do well with the philosophical. You are Edwin? Ah, like Minsc is Boo and Boo is Minsc because we carry each other within. Do you like hamsters? Boo likes you.

Edwina: If you do not wish to be the proud owner of a very small rug you will get that animal away from me.

Minsc: I see more and more of Edwin in your tone, though still you are better company than he. Boo will forgive you, for now.

Edwina: (I will kill ALL of them. Slowly. With...with HOT...pokey things and...and coals and...and prods. Yessssss, prods. Many, many prods.)

Minsc: I think she warms to our company, Boo. See how she looks longingly?

Xyx · Post by **Xyx** » Fri Jun 22, 2001 4:16 pm

Minsc: You are not as serious as many Druids I have met, Cernd. Some even disapprove of me because I am...I don't really know why. Boo will not tell me either.

Cernd: The great wind that shakes the tree causes many that dwell there to fear for their safety and curse the bluster. The same wind will cause many a nut to fall, and in this the forest is renewed, providing even more space for those that fear.

Minsc: You could just say you don't know. Boo makes more sense and he does not have thumbs.

There's also a Very good scene when u exit the underdark with both Corgan and Viconia in your party.

The surface elves want to take Viconia and Corgan is very egerly helping them all the way

Armadin of Clan Geddin · Sat Jun 23, 2001 9:11 am

Tiax - He rules all! He does! You! You are to be but the left bunion of his wondrous idol! You! Be grateful for the chance!

Gabriel - Tiax? Is that you? I haven't seen you in ages. What have you been up to?

Tiax - Tiax rules all from this throne room! You are all servants of his majesty, even as you feign ignorance!

Jan - All bluster and balderdash, ain't ya. Uncle Chester Bellowsbreath was like that too, talking himself so big you'd swear he was 10 feet tall, which was not too far off considering he had a strange disorder stemming from an obsenity hurled at a passing wizard one drunken eve in Waterdeep. Stomp and pomp all ye wish, but it would do you well to take the simple advice of never telling Khelben Blackstaff to "put a shine on that thing and stop being so darn pompous with yer dark-cornered mysteriosity," and if you do, don't punctuate it with a rotten turnip at high velocity.

Of course I'm not really helping matters going on like this. You were saying something or about your greatness?

Tiax - ah...

Tiax has lost his place! The indignity!

Xyx · Post by **Xyx** » Sat Jun 23, 2001 10:38 am

Edwin: And you wield a formidable blade indeed, warrior. Tell me, Minsc, what is the opposite of a lesson?

Minsc: Opposite of...lesson...less on...more on! The opposite of less on is more on! More on? Do you dare to insult me once again!

Edwin: 'Tis your self-fulfilling prophecy, Minsc. I don't talk to hamsters, although my mouse does have a disposition of fair renown in certain select locales.

Rodion Raskolnikov · Post by **Rodion Raskolnikov** » Sun Jun 24, 2001 7:19 am

My favourite must be:

Minsc:"Yes! Lead evil by example, and one day we need no longer put the boots to those that stray off the path of goodness into the muck and bile of villainy and track great bloody footprints across our lily white tiles! Boo will have clean wood shavings you evil bastards!"

Protagonist (only option) :"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0000kay"
