The DLCS has some nice maps of each section of the continent, but no world maps. For that, I would suggest you wait until the release of the Atlas of Krynn due sometime next year.
Sounds like good advice,Sage.What I have with the Players guide is not really very good detailed maps.I understand that Karen Wynn Fonstad that did such a great job with The Forgotten Realms Atlas also made The Atlas Of Dragonlance,what did you think of it? |
Courage isn't the lack of fear but rather believing in and doing what you know is right even though fear is present.

Well, I have a copy of the original DL Atlas, and I can say without hyperbole that it is one of the most treasured tomes in my entire DL collection. I was reading through it at the same time I was reading the Chronicles and Legends trilogies, so the advantages were great indeed.
In fact when I find out people around me are starting out on DL, I lend them mt copy of the Atlas just so they can understand their way around the world, and the way it ties in with both trilogies enchances the stories I think.

I was digging through my papers of various junk, when I had found a BG quote (or more of a rant the Main character can say) to a beggar in the middle of nowhere. it goes like this... Enjoy :
" Ok, I've just about had my FILL of riddle-asking, quest-assigning, insult-throwing, pun-hurling, hostage-taking, Iron-mongering, smart arsed fool, freaks and felons that continually test my will, mettle, strength, intelligence, and most of all PATIENCE! If you got a straight answer ANYWHERE in that bent little head of yours, I want to hear it pretty damn quick or I'm going to take a large blunt object, roughly the size of Eliminster AND his hat, and stuff it LENGTHWISE into a crevise of your being so seldom seen that even the denizens of the Nine Hells themselves wouldn't touch it with a twenty-foot rusty halberd! Have I MADE myself perfectly CLEAR?!"
Yep, no one dares mess with Deimos...   |

Hi all,
In BG2 I particularly liked the exchanges between Keldorn and Yoshimo...there's one about a rhyme that Keldorn found scrawled on the page of a book he was studying or something...I know I have a saved game just before he says it so will look it up and post once I've got it.... |

I think this was in BG 2- did any of you go down by the docks and talk to the people? One of them sings a ballad about Minsc and Boo...
Also, there was a part of TOB (I think) that had animals attacking you. Didn't one of them say some pretty funny stuff? I can't remember exactly, but I remember laughing my *** off at the bunny. |

Hands down the funniest stuff is after Edwin uses his Nether scroll... and I can see why it was hidden away for good reason . And the gnome, Crazy Canter, or something, actually sings a few different rhymes. Personally I like the mage in the Den of the Seven Vales: *Ahem* Learned of spells and casting well but always wanter better, To sing of knights and days of yore, to leave the robes that.. that fetter, A wizard prone to song and prose but oft accused of failing, But I shall sing dispite the odds.... *From somewhere in down the halls* WILL YOU SHUT YER BLOODY WAILING!
...W..well it did end like that.. well put...  |

I really liked Jaheiras Quote from BG1. How was it again...
"What is it, oh only present [something about reality... sorry. Can't remember]-character?" |

omnipresent ? Is that even a word ? Wouldn't it be more likely if it was omnipotent ? |

The Jaheira quote is "What is it, oh omnipresent authority figure?". It's "omnipresent" because she's referring to you, the player.
Xan has the greatest quotes by far. "The sun SHINES and I am AMAZED we live to see another DAY." |

I just love all the tings the party in Abzigals(or was it the other dragon, damnit I never remember, shade?) lair said, when they attack you, but when you strike them down the leader thief reloads. Its just hilarius. The word "magic missle" is spoken a lot of times. |

Edwin (after you do a quest for him): 'Congratulations. You have obviously exceeded your low-born heritage and surged to the vanguard of GOONERY!' That exchange between Jan and Viconia (about the spider) is one of my favourites as well. Re the first post in the thread, I believe Jaheira's line was "This looks like a good place for a henge!" |

My favorite quote comes from BG1, that really annoying guy in Nashkel. Noober? Think that was his name.
"Are you going to throw rocks at me?"
Didn“t he have a brother called Neeber that showed up in BG2? Correct me if I“m wrong! |
"DontĀ“t worry boys, they suck to!" |

Yes i think so, in Trademeet? I think he says almost the same as Noober, he says "are you going to throw rocks at me?" and then he say:"Heres some rock that some other people throwed at me" and then you have 10+1 bullets. |
