I left Morte at the Pillar once and I really didn't like it, tbh.

You can only pull him out if you've figured out the not particularly intuitive way to give your character's class a power boost. He'll warn you if you're not strong enough to do it, but he's not talking about the actual strength stat for once (which means he's 100% right, and you can't cheese it with some buffs).

btw planescape is getting a reboot for 5e and it's probably gonna be meh

Dark Sun loving rules man. Though if you want lovingly made settings, Alluria Publishing did a superb one called Cerulean Seas that focuses on undersea campaigning. You can get it for Pathfinder, and 5e too I think?

Minsc spread awareness of TBIs and his devotion to Dynaheir is beyond reproach. If you roll druid and speak with animals, Boo has a lot of background info which really makes you respect Minsc more.

I can't tell what's a real post and what's a fake post in this thread.

Anyway, how do the naming conventions go with the expansions and sequels and what order are they in? Baldur's Gate, Tales from the Sword Coast, Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Baal [Edit: Shadows of Amn], Enhanced Edition, Baldur's Gate 3? Are Iceland Dale and Neverwinter Nights a part of it too?

Icewind Dale took place before BG and I'm pretty sure NWN took place after.

Yup. Icewind Dale 1 took place in 1281 DR, named the Year of the Cold Soul. Neverwinter Nights took place in 1372 DR, the Year of Wild Magic.
e: 1372 DR was also the 'present' date for the Forgotten Realms in D&D's third edition.

DR stands for "Do Resuscitate"

Do they come up with the year names at the end of the year once they know what happened or at the beginning and just hope that its going to be a year of Wild Magic? Also what happens if like three years later there is a year that is even colder on the soul than the previous one? Do they have to change the name? Doesn't that mess with the archives?

If youre not a pathetic noob it's not a problem you have. Most wizards and scholars and scribes are not noobs. It's really ridiculous how you gave yourself away

The game takes loving forever to play, I'm never going to finish it. I've spent so much time clearing out the goblin fort. it would probably take 30-40 minutes tops to complete a similar dungeon and set of quests in bg1

The BG1 plot is fine and I like how it revolves around politics and rich people being jerks.
Sarevok's entire plan hinges on entitled rich people willing to sacrifice thousands to protect their comforts, and he's right.

It's a lot better than a generic fantasy "THE ULTIMATE EVIL" is coming or whatever and appropriately keeps the scale of the threat to regional.

It's fine on paper but the execution is beyond boring.
