Baldur's Gate Trivia


Trivia

Do you know the answers to these? Hint: Most of these are classic RPGs that received critical acclaim.

1. Made of flesh that is not their own, and lurking in a cave by the sea. Classic case of highly efficient statistical farming via on-rest spawns (solo maxes lvl in 30 mins flat). Who knows the enemy and game here referred to?
—Solved by David M! (Warning: Clicking the link will spoil the answers. See how many you can get, first, and then let me know how you did in the comments section, if you like.)

2. They give you a solid early material boost (dat armorset) and their daggers and darts scale from iron to silver and beyond to keep them relevant as a source of income, whenever you need it. Rest to provoke. These guys were introduced by an expansion. Who are they and what game/expansion are they from?
—Solved by Marco Santaro!

3. Killing packs of the cold and cadaverous inside the eye of a dragon, over and over again. This is a lucrative on-rest spawn to farm, at least for a few levels. Who knows the game?
—Solved by David Wade!

4. Steampunk questing or overworld killing... The latter yields more wealth and powah, and in far less time. A classic case of overworld leveling and wealth gain. Game?
—Solved by David Wade!

5. Epic vamps and ghosts lurking in the vault of a dead god. Highly efficient material and stat-farming via on-rest spawns (several levels in 30 mins). What is the item-type farmed and what is the game?
—Solved by David M!

6. Baatezu lingering outside the flophouse. Prime candidate for stat-farming. Also, giant worms and rare greater "somethings" (that may drop godly items even more rarely), both lurking in a subterranean environment. These three are examples of respawns that occur as a result of area transition (enter/exit spam). This is Diabloesque; indeed, it represents a parody on farming. Game, what are the "somethings", and where are they and the worms farmed (name of dungeon)?
—Solved by Marco Santaro!

7. Several rats in the basement of a home. And a large, wild feline. I kill the feline and let the rats repeatedly attack me. Armor stat maxed in no time! Game, and in what town does this sordidness take place?
—Solved by David M!

8. Floaters, centaurs and aliens don't do well against a party packing gauss rifles. Another classic case of leveling on the overworld. Game?
—Solved by Marco Santaro!

9. I find a piece of parchment. I unfurl it to learn its contents, then I unlearn it - rinse repeat for non-trivial experience point gain. What game is this?
—Solved by David M!
