Larry, Darryl, and Darryl

Those guys are hilarious.

I opted for their autographs, and they blew me off. I wasted the Tasloi Darryl before he could get away.

What do you get if you opt to antagonize them?

If you did not get their autograph you can. Its authentic, you may have missed the dialoge.

Stupid inside jokes

Funny you say that.
Thinks like that can make a game more intresting for me.

Curry??? Are saying I spoiled the game by not posting SPOILER??,

BIG P. S. What does IMO mean?,, I've seen it at other post but have not a clue??

IMO stands for In My Oppinion.

And I doubt there is much spoiled information about this, so I don't think that is what Curry ment.

I meant adding jokes like Larry, darryl etc to a RPG ruins the rpg atmosphere

I have to agree with Stilgar here.
In my oppinion it only adds to the debth of the games - especially because it feels like there is a more living world that dosen't only revolve around the PC.

You also meet "strange" people in real life, so why should a setting as D&D be free of such "strange" people

i totally agree, who wants a perfect world anyways

The humor in BG1 is practically nil anyways, not like Larry, Darryl, and his other brother Darryl totally throw off the world...

What are some of the other funny moments anyways?

List a few that come to mind...

The Polymorfed apprentice/chicken, is one thing I remember vividly

But maybe this should go over in a different thread, seeing as it would be kinda OT in here

So better to start a new thread....

An inappropriate item introduced into an environment where it doesn't fit is called an "anachronism." Some people do it for humorous purposes, and that's found in some RPGs. There are two schools of thought on this. One says it completely breaks the atmosphere; the other just laughs. I find myself agreeing with both. If the atmosphere is all-encompassing and well-done then yes, anachronistic humor breaks the illusion of reality for me, and this joke does it in BG. If the RPG atmosphere is light, however, kinda like the old Might and Magic series, it fits well. And in some cases, like the later Ultima games, anachronistic humor is used so carefully, and for such nostalgic purposes (always to bring a beloved, long dead comedian into the environment) that I don't mind at all.

Yes Xandax I feel the chicken is along those same lines. Good example.

How about the dark humor? Gorax or Corax the Goul who keeps reassuring you he is a good dog. Or the mad cleric Basilious, making some sick jokes about his family. Dark and evil but you have to just laugh at some point right.

"Korax thinks you look very tasty today"
One of my favourite lines from the game
