Is Arthur the guy who's uncle comes back from the dead? You could kill the zombie uncle before he kills the guy (minor experience). I don't know about the other ones though, have you tried giving the guy with the headache that ale you found in the Shadow Thief building?

Don't forget the faux-quest that has driven many an adventurer nuts- the minotaur/ mushroom man showdown...

Nope the Uncle was checked out. I have looked everywhere for him and no one there has this name. I have cast True Sight so many times I hate the spell now

The ale is used in Mazzy's quest.

And don't forget the mother of all unfinished quests/enigmas. The whole pantaloon mystery is one that has stumped any and all BG1 and BG2 players to attempt to solve it. For an in-depth history and analysis check out Kevin Dorner's Baldurdash site, and click on the Pantaloon Enigma link. It's a good read, and worth five minutes of your time if you enjoy a good puzzler.

@All...(Any quest you think is incomplete or not finished please post.)

Well not really a quest... but those damn empty potion bottles in the Guarded Compound have caused many an adventurer to ponder their use from time to time.

Well, there's also Jan Jansen's story... after his girlfriend goes back to her husband, he asks you whether you're willing to support him when the time comes that he needs to face his girlfriend's hubby...

@Amphibius

IIRC,the Jan quest was originaly planned to be a lot longer,with much more involment of the Hidden,but it was cut down because of the BG2 release date,and the fact that it was simply too long for a NPC side quest.

whats 2 and 4?

nalia's quest, after the funeral, and you have to find evidence of the slavers they mention the guarded compound but never truly tie it in

The Twisted Rune,
I'm not sure if that was to be a quest once (like the Guarded Compound), or just an easter egg though.

@ koz-ivan & Angelus - The whole Guarded Compound and Twisted Rune thing was originally supposed to be part of one giant slaver quest, but for some reason a key clue was omitted when the game was published. In Kevin Dorner's latest fixpack that clue is restored, tieing in those elements to the quest line. According to Kevin, you must have Nalia in your party for the whole quest to proceed properly.

What about the minotaur/mushrooms quest? Did anybody save the minotaur? What happens after that?

Ogre with headache??
Never heard of that, BUT
In one of the temples in the Temple District, my swashbuckler was going on a pick-and-steal spree and I found this seemingly useless potion called Festile's Potion, i think.
I don't remember exactly what it says, but something about it perfectly designed for ogres, and everything else it will induce vomit.
Possibly, this is the potion you need to cure this supposed ogre?

Just a thought

Umm...I don't know if any of you have noticed that if you kill officer Dirth in Sea's Bounty, you'll find out that he is carrying a note which mentions the Roenalls and something about slavers in the Temple District...I have the note still in my char's inv, but I'm too tired to check it now. But it did have something to do with slavers in Temple district. I thought that Dirth was a bouncer until I lost my temper in Sea's Bounty and noticed that he didn't get hostile while I was killing civilians, Baron Ployer to be exact It is probably related to Nalia, as ElvenKing stated. Very good thread, by the way.

btw, it's a shame that Jan's quest kinda ends too early...hopefully it will continue in ToB. One might-be-quest popped in my mind...the hostile guys in the house near the Five Flagons in Bridge district.

Well, it seems I'm spamming tonight...but another possible quest crossed my mind...this is really a long shot, but a drow captain in Ust'Natha tells that he has a spelljammer and has been traveling quite a bit...then he says something like he's leaving in a month, and I if I'm interested, I should come back after a month. Now THAT would be a C-O-O-L quest!

Update

Couple other things that confused me...I understand most of these are meant to be random and comic, but still baffled me for a bit.
1. Guy who lobs his scimitar at you fleeing Docks.
2. Thief guy who does damage to you as you enter Slums temple
3. Lady who tells you you are the father in temple.
4. Djinni you "free" in drow city by killing and paying 4K for. Kept waiting for him to port in and thank me or something.
5. Daystar Lich- can't help but wonder if he was originally part of Demi-lich quest- since it's strange you get both the arms and legs from the other lich
6. Mindflayer den/ Hidden connection- I did Jan's quest before Hidden stuff- but if you do in reverse can you confront the Hidden?
