This topic has been done a lot of times for BGII. Now we have the opportunity of saying our opinion for BGI
My vote goes to:
-quest: free Dynaer. Killing all those gnolls is really funny.
-area: the one with the sirens just south of Candlekeep.

Quest: getting the airship items for the Thieves Guild. There are so many ways you can steal/kill in that one. Plus its part of the whole guild thing & has ramifications later in the game.

Area: Candlekeep catacombs for the loot.

I loved the whole Werewolf Island quest for ToSC, especially the little romance with Delainy/Durlyle (depending on your gender). The plot twists were great, like figuring out the whole little mystery of the Island and discovering that my character had contracted lycanthropy. Had this been PnP D&D I would have handed in my character sheet and had my PC retire for a life of peace and isolation with Delainy. Unfortunately it was not meant to be (as you well know ), but this tragic romance seemed to set the stage for my character’s (my original PC, a human fighter) future romance with Aerie. After Aerie backs off from the relationship I began thinking how this must be affecting my character’s mental health, as everyone he cares about either abandons him, or dies (taking into account Gorion’s, Khalid’s and Dynaheir’s murder, Imoen’s kidnapping, and Yoshimo’s betrayal). This has inclined the inherently good man to listen to the whispers of his darker nature, possibly damning him forever. Hopefully ToB will include options I can use to reflect my character’s somewhat rickety grip on things now.

Maybe this is too much thought to put into a computer game but the role-player in me wants to flesh out the individual and let him gravitate to his most logical emotional state. I tend to do that with all the characters I make When Neverwinter Nights comes out I will have an infinite supply of overly complex NPCs waiting in the wings

Favourite quest: Durlag's Tower, that place was bitchin'!

Favourite area: Durlag's Tower, lowest level, that slimey part was cool.

Durlag's Tower ruled bigtime!

Gnoll fotress and the Bandit Camp.

I also have to say Durlags Tower, great quest - great area

Favourite Quest: Ankheg hunting/Recovering Farmer Brun's son. Lotsa loot.

Favourite Area: Ulgoth's Beard. There was something nice about being there. Almost tranquil if you will...

FQ: Durlag's Tower

FA: The area with the Red Wizards (prob. because of the level of enermy's on a non specific map.) p.s. even better in DSOTSC

Favourite quest : Dealing with Kobolds under Gullykin or something (I don't remember the name of this halflings village)

Favourite area : Maze under Gullykin.

Area? : the xvart village, especially early on.

Quest? : bandit scalps/camp

Quest: The Nashkell Mines. My first time thru it was exciting to be in the first dungeon. The fight at the end was good for the level as well.

Area: All of BG (the city), the art is wonderful.

i like the ankheg lair where u go to get that farmers son back

I like the ankheg place where you retrieve the farmer's son's body. Cuel.

Favorite Quest and Area: Durlag's Tower

Favourite quests : return to candlekeep - It was great to return home, to an area I was familiar with and see how things got changed during my travels. This is the place where my character was completely sure about his father issue and accepted his heritage of course. I also loved the doppleganger fights in the catacombs and that trust-no-one game during it I killed 2 npcs cuz I was sure they were dopplegangers as well. Another quest I liked was "save the dukes" in the palace - very challenging and interesting fight for a party of two thieves.

Favourite areas : Candlekeep catacombs, Iron Throne HQ, BG Sewers.

Quest: Return to Candle Keep

Area: Durlag's Tower

Quest: Durlags tower
Area: the whole baldur's gate, i just loved the way you just enter a house and and you never know what you might get yourself into after stepping through the door!(the place where you get the quest to retrieve the helm of balduran was a total shocker! dang it was good at the first time.

That's true, but I find that area's realy boring.
And there aren't any good items in the whole dungeon.

Quest: Blitzing the Iron Throne HQ
Area: Durlag's Tower

By the way, hello to everyone....I'm new here
