Hey all,
I'd like to start using some actually BG NPC's in my quest scripting. People like Ragefast the Sage or Minsc from the old BG series. The issue is I don't have the best BG lore. If you want to, feel free to post a character name (or two, or three, etc) and a short paragraph describing them.
It will help flush out the server to a more realistic world.
Peace, -JPD

My damn Baldur's Gate manual dissapeared ages ago for some reason. Anyway the thing you have to remember is this is set in 1351 DR so people like Minsc would be 5-10 years old right now and living in Rashemen. I dont remember much about Ragefast but he's Human so he would be about 35-40 years old and still adventuring and what not. The same goes for many of the super powered mages that inhabit the Sword Coast, like that guy at High Hedge..cant remember his name.
Taerun Fuirun would also be in his prime and adventuring right now, he was a level 5 fighter with a big warmace.

Run the adventures of Boo the Space Hampster and his coming to the Sword Coast!
But yes as Atlas said most of the well knowns are either small children or out adventuring, so for the most part the ones you may want to incorporate arent really able as of yet.

Hmm,
The only NPC's it would work for then are very old humans (think timeless mages who have already begun their longevity) and elves.
Any takes on those?

Xian and Jahera? What about that dwarf in a store at Beregost? The one looking for a child i think? Cant remember his name, but i can sure remember that he could regenerate, since he had 20 const. On AD&D that was very rare. He also had a helm that i use to steal hehe. It had a kinda of unique looking. But Jahera was a half-elf, so how old would she be? And man Xian was really a funny guy  , and he had the most amazing sword of the game!!!!!! -Raffael |

You mean neutral evil shopkeeper Kagain?
Mages, healers or whatever collecting spell components for the dour Xan The Enchanter would be great as well. "Life is soo hollow"

How about finding an item to gratify Tiax's ego or something?
"Tiax judges you not worthy of helping him, Tiax will defeat Irenicus by himself, you may watch if you wish!" Lol, that guy was great!

Oh man i love that game....the best ever! And that Irenicus dude.... He was a bit strange, but that fight with the mages and thieves at the promenade in the beginning of the game was the best ever! ''You dare to attack me?'' ''Do you even know whom you face?'' Blast the thieves into oblivion Then he kills like 5 mages with just two fingers...lol ''You bore me mageling'' And he got one of the best lines i've ever seen: ''Ahh the child of Bhaal has awoken'' ''It is time for more...experiments'' lol |

Yep the voice talent was terrific throughout! Ill not hijack the thread with the "good 'ol days" though. Not sure if Ribald would have still been adventuring but seen as he is a half-elf and not a pure blood he could well of been fighting his way up and down the sword coast! He is a Fighter/mage I believe but most of you will remember him from the adventurers mart in Athkatla |

You do have a good memory friend  Ahh...good times...  lol. But as i mentioned, we could have Jaheira as well...half-elf druid/fighter... And if not Irenicus, why not Joneleth?  -Raffael |

Well the impression I get from having Ribald talk to Jaheira they once knew each other pretty well (predating BGI obviously since you dont see him in the first game). Perhaps they adventured together at some point? Viconia is also easily the oldest NPC in Baldur's Gate so she would be bound to tip up on the surface at some point  |

Soon we will have som Underdark areas There will be no need for her to be on the surface. It would be even better. Hey! Viconia was a great sugestion! Thx man About Jaheira and Ribald: Maybe they not only adventure together, but Ribald could be a friend/member of the Harpers. Why not? -Raffael |

Hey! More memories are popping up: We are not mentioning all the gnomes in BGI and II. I cant remember the names but there is one in the BGII near the Prison, close to where we can find Viconia and the crazy mob. There is also Aerie step father. WOW. Aerie is old enough.... Also those guys from the theater at the bridge in BGII. There was a bard there right? The one we were supposed to save from the mage.... Cant remember correctly...but he was not human, that i remember. i sure you will remember those names! HELP ME OUT HERE! -Raffael |
