You are awake at 2:00 AM reading the "top ten signs you are addicted to bgII."

BTW, I like Garcia's "When fighting five guys you jump on the skinny guy in the back of the pack since he looked most likely to be a mage." Funny thread, this is.

You are always trying to identify new things

AHHHH, I've read every post of this thread! But anyway, :D :D

-You go into random houses to search for loot, and do not fear the owner's wrath because you know that they can't talk to you unless YOU initiate the dialogue... ;) ;) (these posts are awesome, I cant believe I actually do some of the stuff.) :(

You walk into the women's locker room and you're convinced that you can quickly "hide in the shadows" in a completely lighted area with no obstacles to retreat behind before they turn hostile.

- You are walking down the street, you hear a couple of cops talking about a missing priest, and you immediatly head for the sewers.

- You honestly want to be a bard

You know you're addicted if:

When people become angry, you see a red circle around their feet.

(I had a dream a few months ago in which another person "turned hostile" and a red circle appeared, just like it does in the game. When I woke up, I remembered it and laughed.) :)

90% addicted: if you actually want to try to put your cat in your backpack

100% addicted: if your backpack is full of knives, bladed weapons, flaming arrows, acid darts, poisoned daggers, *STILL* you think that it's a good idea to put your cat in it "because it is safer"

Beyond recovery: if your cat gladly agrees with you :D :p :rolleyes:

You are walking through a shopping mall with a floor of large red and white tiles, and you carefully skirt around the "red" tiles... :cool:

When you have a true heart to heart conversation with your brother or close family member, and in response to their heart felt response, you ask what class do you think I would be best at in the world, this actually happened.

When you go to bed every night, hoping that you wake up in Baldur's Gate II, then have a dream about actually waking up in Baldur's Gate II, then waking up you think about the best encantation to dimension door your way there.

Funny thread by way, all, I especially liked the you shall all suffer you shall all suffer one.

Oh dum dum, you know your obsessed when your parents recomend a self help class for Baldur's Gate addiction.
"In Germany, they first came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the homosexuals and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a homosexual. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a protestant. Then they came for me--but by that time there was no one left to speak up."

Pastor Martin Neimoller

Infinity is a fathomless gulf, into which all things vanish.

Marcus Aurelius (121-180) Roman Emperor and Philosopher

To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

You expect your dumped friends to run after you to make sure you don't want them hanging around anymore, and then agree to wait in place until you decide to return for them.

You know you are addicted when:

You wont end a conversation until the person you're speaking to starts to repeat himself.

Since you think any task, even as simple as walking to the nearest store and buy milk, will enventually improve your ability to handle your job anyone can get you to run errands for them.

You really do think that all beggars are the same.

You assume that everyone, no matter how far from you their field of competence is, needs you assistance.

lol this thread certainly has grown. Apologies if anything like this has already been said...............

When your at the cinema and some idiot is talking in front of you, you grab a handful of red skittles/m&m's and proceed to throw them at the back of the offender's head. When they turn around to face you, assure them that your "magic missiles" was just the start and if they still don't stop talking - wave your mars bar under their nose and assure them if they don't shut up you will smite them with your "wand of fire"

In our latest D&D campaign our party somehow ended up in space and was approached by lunarelves. I am playing a dwarven fighter/barbarian but he died in our last fight. Our druid reincarnated me but I came back as a badger. A tiny animal but according to the rules my strength increased by four. So now I am a tiny rodent(badger) with giant strength in space... sounds alot like boo doesn't it :D
I still play this game after many years hehe

:D ROFL!! This is just too fun!

I have one too:
You die with your brother's charised hc diablo character because the game didn't stop when you pushed the spacebar. (This actually happened to me, and let's just say that he wasn't pleased with his sister....)
