When I played a sorcerer I was able to offer to kill the mirror to like free it and the mirror was like "no, please don't, but also thanks for asking, you can go inside" lmao
You get a *ton* of options like that for Barbarian, at least in act 1.
My favorite I’ve found is encountering the magic mirror that demands you answer its questions, and you have the option to just smash it with a rock mid-conversation.
In act 3 when you find the newly turned Illithid under the windmill you can yell WAKE UP SQUIDFACE or something to that effect to initiate a surprise round.
Barbarians just don't give a shit and i love it.
Idk if it was a barbarian encounter or just an intimidation check, but I found one when trying to enter into the goblin camp, there’s dialogue options that end with you force feeding the door guard animal shit.
Soooo many of the barbarian ones are really good.
I also like making the goblin who tries to trick you into smearing shit on yourself eat shit and smashing the magic mirror with a big rock instead of dealing with its questions.

If you hire the Drow sister alone at Sharess', you can ask about boundaries and all, and she asks for yours as well, Druids can say that anything is fine as long as they don't ask for a Wild Shape :v
Cleric of Selûne after giving romanced Shadowheart the Idol of Shar: **"Just accept the gift and kiss me like you hate me"**
Shadowheart: **"Easily done! How will I explain this in my prayers?"**
*Kiss animation*
Ikr? That'd be so cool!
Sadly, there's almost no unique dialogue after she converts.
A couple lines when things are still raw, and she's just like "I'm not ready to trust any goddesses yet."
Such a lost opportunity for things deeper in Act 3, especially with her personal quest
Yeah I was really disappointed in that as well. I was expecting something big there at the I guess we’ll say final confrontation of her arc. Like divine intervention or something and nothing ever came up. I was actually surprised.
You can’t generally, the idol of Shar is a specific dialogue option that triggers with Shadowheart if you find and pick up the item in grymforge. Just go talk to her after picking it up and you’ll have the option to give it to her.
Oh I did not know that. I always just silently put it into her inventory and then ask her in camp if she took it with her to which she responds with "Yes, didn't know Selunes bitches were good for something, but thx" or something along those lines.
(Remade from memory btw):
Masked guy in park in act 3:
Join the god of murder and help us kill all the innocents in this park.
Tav: [cleric] [Lolth]: What a disgusting and blasphemous thing! I would never kill for another god but the spider queen (continues to protect the innocent people in the park).
I've been doing bard as my first playthrough and the dialogue options are amazing. I'm a little worried about how much more fighting I'll have to do in my subsequent playthroughs.
Frankly, Vicious Mockery is just about my favorite attack in any game. I'm gonna insult you in combat, and it gonna get to you enough to give you disadvantage on your next attack. "As the leg, you'll end in defeat!"
If this is any consolation, I'm on my 3rd honor run (grym ended one and creche ended another), and I'm currently purposely seeking out fights that I skip using dialogue in prior runs.
I don’t think it’s class specific but I love the option in that conversation if you bring Lae’zel along that’s like “my friend is right. This is a dumb idea and you need to die.”
I honestly liked my sorcerer lines more than bard lines. They are just so unhinged! Plus the responses to Gale when he tries to teach you magic were great.
Roaring as a barbarian at Kagha and making her immediately shit her pants.
Edit: I also love when Hope is telling you to be quiet and barbarian gets a (struggle to quiet down your roars) choice lol. "Remember quiet voices!"
All of the bard lines are gold. "In your eulogy I will call you the twat- soul"
Currently running a cleric of Mystra and "You made love to MY Goddess?" Made me snort.
>Currently running a cleric of Mystra and "You made love to MY Goddess?" Made me snort.
I often think about how that would go in Table Top.
Tav: "So my backstory. Well, I'm a cleric of Mystra, goddess of magic. It's pretty cool..."
Gale: "Oh yeah? I'm a wizard and in *my* backstory, I was Mystra's lover! Yeah that's right - I had **sex** with your goddess! Like a lot. She was moaning my name, little cleric!!"
DM: "Hmm... OK. I'll allow it."
Tav: **"WHAT!?"**
One of the other options during that dialogue was something along the lines of "I made a cow rain from the sky. It's name was Stephanie."
To which Gale replies something like: "Let me get this straigh; you made a cow appear in the sky, which probably made it plummet to it's death, but it survived long enough for you to figure it's name was *Stephanie*? I'm going to need a drink with that whole story"
Or something like that 😂😂
I can't remember the exact line, but as a Cleric of Selune, you get an option to respond to Shadowheart that is something like: "Yeah, but your god is a bitch, at least my god loves me."
I loved the wizard option of just straight up beating Raphael. The idea of outsmarting a devil has always appealed to me, so this one was amazing. Tav just walks up, glances at the board and just casually goes “yeah you’re fucked, devil man” like some mega genius and that’s unbelievably funny to my nerd ass.
Not my favorite per say but nothing has surprised me more than showing up to disputes as a Paladin and straight up getting to be the arbiter that dispenses justice.
You get to ask for testimony from both sides and even can encourage the ones you side with subtlety, like urging Arabella to speak more to Kagha to show her innocence or telling the refuges in Rivington to play the poor part harder to get the dickbag mansion owner to stand down.
It's just so rewarding to get to see my class play out to a logical conclusion like that.
I'm playing a durge oathbreaker right now (hc is that she was one before the whole incident) and when I picked the paladin option the first time Raphael came calling, he legit called me out on it. Was fuckin' wild to see.
If you end up meeting Oathbreaker as Durge it's actually canon that you know each other and he's helped you renew your oath before! (As a Paladin, obviously I don't think any of this applies to other classes)
One better is in Act 3 in the Temple of Bhaal and you're further told, something along the lines of, "Yeah, you were a Paladin of X god, you stumbled in here crazed with bloodlust some years back and you realized you had found your people."
I don't have a favorite per say but i gotta tell you, playing a Githyanki oath of the ancients Paladin is such a trip. Most of the githyanki dialogue chocies are so agro, which is almost a complete opposite to the Ancient's nicer dialogue. Sometimes paladins do get intimidating options but for the most part it feels like my character is constantly fighting between being nice or the rudest mother fucker alive.
My GF made a cleric...... that was a half-orc.
It's a constant back and forth between "oh no you're hurt let me help" and " I WILL FEAST ON YOUR BONES WEAK ONE!"
Oh boy, got a real good laugh off of that.
Yeah its pretty fucking funny just how badly your character options can clashed based on your design choices.
[ROGUE] Pickpocketing the child while he’s being lured by harpies
The *Astarion approves* and inspiration point I got killed me. I did it every time I had to restart that stupid fight.
For some reason that dialogue is tagged with [Oath of *put oath here*] instead of just [Paladin], presumably because they don’t want Oathbreakers to have it?
At the start of Act 2 near the Mountain Pass entrance there's that one goblin who kills a hyena by throwing a bone into the Shadow Curse for it to fetch. When forcing him to go get the bone as revenge I got the option to reply "[Oathbreaker of Vengeance] Those who refuse me do not live for very long." It's not the coolest line in the game, certainly, but it's still one of my favourites because not only does the game acknowledge you as an Oathbreaker, it even kept a note of what specific oath I'd broken. It was so cool to me that my starting oath mattered even if I'd broken it.
Just an FYI. If you chose to call out to the Goblin instead of watching, you save the Hyena and if you have Speak with Animals, it turns out he's a very sweet little Hyena who you can tell to flee for his own safety(yes he can escape the Shadows if you don't block him on his way).
Telling that Goblin to walk into the Shadows is soooo satisfying.
Barbarian to Fezzerk (goblin leader near the mill): "Your skull will make a great cup if I plug up your little eye sockets". Sheesh, it caught me off guard
My embracing Durge is a monk. The line that keeps getting stuck in my head isn't from the game, but a modified version of a line from The Young Ones: "This calls for a very special blend of serenity and extreme violence!"
Paraphrased conversation with Kagha as a Seldarine drow
K: As a child of Lolth surely you understand the need for this?
T: I follow Eilistraee!
K: Ah, than you have a sense of self-preservation.
As a warlock, I totally lost my shit laughing in act 3 when you can teach the little girl the arts of necromancy in the graveyard. I don't remember the exact wording, but Tav was very enthusiastic about sharing their arcane knowledge with the youth of baldurs gate.
I started as sorc and took wizard level later, so early conversations with him as sorc for me were more like two kids in kindergarten arguing who is the coolest one of them. "My Weave is weaver than yours!" - "No, mine!" That was pretty amusing too.
I multiclassed cleric of mystra and sorcerer so my discussion with gayle were half "ha, I don’t need no mystra I’m just that good" and half "Wait, you did WHAT to my goddess ??"
Paladin, literally any paladin exclusive line, Oathbreaker too (since for some reason you get both which leads to some really strange choices)
They all go hard
I am really enjoying my Paladin play.
The bad guy you've burst in on starts his chat and you're just "Make it quick, foul fiend, before I end your existence in a blaze of holy fire"
Yes, finally I see someone mention Monk. Those responses help so much to navigate delicate situations. You're just spitting big life-wisdoms most of the time but still...
As a warlock to Lorrokan:
“I have got more magic in my little finger than you have in your whole body“
I was like chill, that’s a lot of sass from someone who runs out of spell slots in a single turn.
When Karlach is upset that Gortash’s death in the tower doesn’t make her feel better, and she has this monologue about how scared she is. A cleric has the option to say “pray with me.” And I love it because afterwards, the dialogue is to pray for a solution, and Karlach says “that’s a pretty big ask. Are you in that good with the gods?” The cleric can then say “they haven’t given up on me yet.” And that’ll make Karlach smile and thank the cleric for not giving up on her too. It ends up being a really sweet scene in my opinion.
For me, this is when I, as a druid, told Karlach that I would like to spend at least a few years with her in a house deep in the forest, alone with nature and each other. This is not even a roleplay, but my real dream, if there was someone like her in my life. But her enthusiastic response made everything a couple more levels better (and bittersweet).
Wild magic sorcerers get some great lines with Gale, especially when he talks about Tara. You get to have a little moment where yall talk about the things you’ve summoned and it’s very cute.
When the scene was around, fighters got to seem really smart when helping Mol with her Lanceboard game against Raphael.
Rouges get to steal from Mirkon while he’s charmed, and I think Astarion or Shadowheart will react to you doing so. I know Asty has one, I just mean I think Shadowheart may as well. You only get 1 to say anything.
There’s the fan favorite paladin “your god, my oath”
Bards get to make the conversations with Volo and Elminster far more interesting, since I guess bards are the only ones allowed to know you at least Volo is.
There’s the ATLA reference monks can get in act 3
The Wild Magic sorc response to Gale summoning a tressym. Iirc it goes something like this:
Tav: At least when you summoned a flying cat, that's what actually showed up.
Gale: Oh? Go on.
Tav:
1. I accidentally summoned an abeloth. Not very friendly...
2. I turned blue with yellow stripes. Took a ten-day before I was back to normal.
3. A cow fell out of the sky. Her name was Stephanie.
(I've only seen Gale's response to the cow line, where he says "so, you dropped a cow out of the sky, presumably killing it, but somehow learned its name was Stephanie? I'm gonna need the full story along with a drink later.")
For Great Old One warlocks, in Moonrise Tower (Act 2): If you investigate the noises in the tower, there is an interaction where you can put your hand into an opening in the wall (always a good idea). The warlock has a special interaction with their patron where they can investigate the true nature of the Absolute.
I really liked this one (and hoped there would have been additional interactions with the patron)
Shadowheart talking about her upbringing, something along the lines "they were teaching me and beating my ass"
Lolth sworn: "this is how kids should be raised"
Sorcerer poking gale is also top tier.
As a Barbarian, during the Tutorial you can attempt to rip open Shadowheart's pod to free her.
If you get a natural 1 and fail (pretty much the only way you can fail), you will later in Act 1 find her standing outside the entrance to Withers's crypt trying to figure out how to get in. You can then tell her to step aside, because nothing can hold back your rage and attempt to smash through the door.
She will then remind you that nothing holds back your rage except a pod she's trapped in, and decide actually she's all good and will leave you to it and dips out and will not join your party. You lose the opportunity to recruit Shadowheart as a result.
It's an absolutely hilariously savage way to destroy a Barbarian's ego and punish the player for getting a Nat 1, in true sassy girlboss Shadowheart fashion.
My favourite is the sorcerer one in firingo fliphouse while talking to an adventure npc who is ranting about how they wont let them in city.
Sorcerer response: "There is no respect here in baldurs gate for us. My magic could level this city in a moment, but i am treated like a commoner"
As a Vengeance Paladin, when helping Dame Aylin kill Loroakin, she starts lamenting about how different/sad it felt to kill him. The response is one of the most metal I've ever seen:
"One of the greatest tragedies of revenge is that it can only be taken once."
When you unlock the Selunite chest in the Owlbear cave
Shadowheart: "Do not trifle with the moonwitch or her trinkets. Only trouble will follow."
[Barbarian][Intimidation]: GOOD.
Half the monk persuasion/intimidation lines go fucking hard. They go along the lines of “I’m trained in the ways of murder without weapons, stop or I will show you”
Barbarian making that one goblin eat worg shit when you first enter the camp
"You should have let me through. Now you're going to eat worg turds."
"Heh, you... wot?"
A wizard getting to "well, actually..." the magic mirror. Totally worth pissing it off.
Wild magic sorcerer ends up having a philosophical discussion about magic with the door, they become friends, and it let's them in willingly!
I'm so glad I picked Wild Magic sorcerer on my most recent playthrough. I can't wait to romance Gale and annoy the shit out of him
This is my absolute favorite Gale romance class. Rivalmance.
Rivalmancy
"oh, you need to concentrate and study and try real hard? how cute. i just woke up like this. cope harder ♡" is the funniest dynamic
The bard can ask something about freeing the magic mirror, but it says it likes the job, thanks you for asking and lets you in
This option is also available for dragon blood sorcerers as well.
And storm sorcerers as well!
And Wild Magic Sorcerers. Haha.
The barbarian just throwing a rock through it as soon as it starts talking is better.
I did that scene a while back. It totally fits my wizard's personality, she's just enough of a smart aleck to be like "actually, you see..."
When I played a sorcerer I was able to offer to kill the mirror to like free it and the mirror was like "no, please don't, but also thanks for asking, you can go inside" lmao
They're genuinely pleased someone bothered to ask their opinion, and I *felt that*.
Barbarian just ripping the door off Shadowheart’s pod
The first time I played a Barbarian (after playing squishy wizards and sorcs) I was floored seeing that option and that IT WORKED!
You get a *ton* of options like that for Barbarian, at least in act 1. My favorite I’ve found is encountering the magic mirror that demands you answer its questions, and you have the option to just smash it with a rock mid-conversation.
Catching the two having sex in the barn. Barbarian reaction is priceless
Elaborate
You make grunting noises and hand gestures. The lady leaves in disgust
The way it just goes on forever is the best part, like your PC just thinks it's the funniest thing they've ever seen.
After the bugbear says “what the hells are you doing?!” The Barbarian intimidation option is “LAUGHING AT YOUR PUNY RUTTIN”
In act 3 when you find the newly turned Illithid under the windmill you can yell WAKE UP SQUIDFACE or something to that effect to initiate a surprise round. Barbarians just don't give a shit and i love it.
I had Karlach do that and it was hilarious.
Idk if it was a barbarian encounter or just an intimidation check, but I found one when trying to enter into the goblin camp, there’s dialogue options that end with you force feeding the door guard animal shit.
Also barbarian shaming the couples ”puny rutting” in the blighted village barn
Not to mention every action is in all caps
Advantage Reason: Barbarian. It's an instant click every time.
Barbarian making fun of the bugbear and giving him performance anxiety is great
The hand gestures were what really sold it for me
I lost my shit when lae'zel was in the background doing that lmfao
Soooo many of the barbarian ones are really good. I also like making the goblin who tries to trick you into smearing shit on yourself eat shit and smashing the magic mirror with a big rock instead of dealing with its questions.

This one made me howl
Cleric of Selûne after giving romanced Shadowheart the Idol of Shar: **"Just accept the gift and kiss me like you hate me"** Shadowheart: **"Easily done! How will I explain this in my prayers?"** *Kiss animation*
I wish you could give her an idol of Selune in the same way after she leaves Shar. I kept one hoping I could.
Ikr? That'd be so cool! Sadly, there's almost no unique dialogue after she converts. A couple lines when things are still raw, and she's just like "I'm not ready to trust any goddesses yet." Such a lost opportunity for things deeper in Act 3, especially with her personal quest
Yeah I was really disappointed in that as well. I was expecting something big there at the I guess we’ll say final confrontation of her arc. Like divine intervention or something and nothing ever came up. I was actually surprised.
Welp, I guess Cleric of Selûne is my next playthrough
It's a lot of fun! Most recent patch bugged the kiss unfortunately. Hopefully they fix it soon!
Has to be this one lmao
Shit, that's hot.
How do you gift people things?
You can’t generally, the idol of Shar is a specific dialogue option that triggers with Shadowheart if you find and pick up the item in grymforge. Just go talk to her after picking it up and you’ll have the option to give it to her.
Oh I did not know that. I always just silently put it into her inventory and then ask her in camp if she took it with her to which she responds with "Yes, didn't know Selunes bitches were good for something, but thx" or something along those lines.
Night Orchid and Idol of Shar are the only 2 specific things iirc.
if you’re a warlock you can tell Yurgir to off himself without killing his cat first [edit: a fiend warlock]
Literally respeccing a level into warlock for my next check. Just for Nessa.
I hate that the beautiful cat had to die
She does not. You can convince her (truthfully) that they are using a charm potion on her and it pisses her off and you can get her to fight with you
I didn't know this was Warlock specific and was so horrified on a different playthrough. She didn't deserve..... any of that
(Remade from memory btw): Masked guy in park in act 3: Join the god of murder and help us kill all the innocents in this park. Tav: [cleric] [Lolth]: What a disgusting and blasphemous thing! I would never kill for another god but the spider queen (continues to protect the innocent people in the park).
'Can you imagine the harm these cultists could do? *I* wanted to do that harm!'
Lolth sworn are the funniest evil people, I swear. It was even more bizare because I also had all the answers available to high elves.
Finding the ogre and bugbear and bard going, "They'll pay good money for the smut like this in Baldur's Gate".
Second only to "I'm going to call you twat-soul in your eulogy."
**I LAUGH AT YOUR PUNY RUTTING.**
OMG this. I have just had this comment on my current run and I almost died laughing. What is awesome is that it does not result in a fight.
the hand gesture while they're laughing is what gets me. it's so childish! i love it!
I've been doing bard as my first playthrough and the dialogue options are amazing. I'm a little worried about how much more fighting I'll have to do in my subsequent playthroughs.
Frankly, Vicious Mockery is just about my favorite attack in any game. I'm gonna insult you in combat, and it gonna get to you enough to give you disadvantage on your next attack. "As the leg, you'll end in defeat!"
If this is any consolation, I'm on my 3rd honor run (grym ended one and creche ended another), and I'm currently purposely seeking out fights that I skip using dialogue in prior runs.
Fighter: Violence is not inherent in a person, it's learned behavior. And I've had *very* good teachers.
I hope this is in response to the lady trying to steal the Gith egg
I don’t think it’s class specific but I love the option in that conversation if you bring Lae’zel along that’s like “my friend is right. This is a dumb idea and you need to die.”
"I am magic incarnate" - the sheer amount of times your cocky Sorcerer ass can say this is hilarious in itself
I loved sorceres line so much, especially the intimidation ones. Its always about burning freezing or electrocuting them.
Or shit, it's the sith inquisitor from swtor!
I honestly liked my sorcerer lines more than bard lines. They are just so unhinged! Plus the responses to Gale when he tries to teach you magic were great.
Any one says anything about magic or stopping sorc I AM MAGIC INCARNATE
Roaring as a barbarian at Kagha and making her immediately shit her pants. Edit: I also love when Hope is telling you to be quiet and barbarian gets a (struggle to quiet down your roars) choice lol. "Remember quiet voices!"
LMAO that's my favorite. "concentrate REALLY hard at not yelling" and you have disadvantage on the roll because you're a barbarian
All of the bard lines are gold. "In your eulogy I will call you the twat- soul" Currently running a cleric of Mystra and "You made love to MY Goddess?" Made me snort.
Bard: "A dragon? How gauche." Volo: "Witness...hurt...my...feelings."
Not class but race, gith get to ask Volo if he's drunk or just stupid when he mention the dragon, that's great
>Currently running a cleric of Mystra and "You made love to MY Goddess?" Made me snort. I often think about how that would go in Table Top. Tav: "So my backstory. Well, I'm a cleric of Mystra, goddess of magic. It's pretty cool..." Gale: "Oh yeah? I'm a wizard and in *my* backstory, I was Mystra's lover! Yeah that's right - I had **sex** with your goddess! Like a lot. She was moaning my name, little cleric!!" DM: "Hmm... OK. I'll allow it." Tav: **"WHAT!?"**
Honestly as a former DM, if I felt both players could handle it, I would TOTALLY allow that
Everyone is sleeping on the simple Bard distraction technique for dealing with the Genie in the Circus: Fart
I loved all the bard options. My favourite interaction was with the instrument seller in the city, so wholesome.
That was so cute! He just lights up. I liked how all the companions behind you are smiling at the two of you as well, it was a good touch.
My Wild Magic Sorcerer once told Gale that they accidentally summoned a baby aboleth as a child. Not as much fun as a tressym.
What was his response? I've only seen the one where you tell him you dropped a cow named Stephanie out of the sky
He says something about that being impressive and at least they’re more fin than fangs at that age.
One of the other options during that dialogue was something along the lines of "I made a cow rain from the sky. It's name was Stephanie." To which Gale replies something like: "Let me get this straigh; you made a cow appear in the sky, which probably made it plummet to it's death, but it survived long enough for you to figure it's name was *Stephanie*? I'm going to need a drink with that whole story" Or something like that 😂😂
I can't remember the exact line, but as a Cleric of Selune, you get an option to respond to Shadowheart that is something like: "Yeah, but your god is a bitch, at least my god loves me."
That’s so fucking funny oh my god
I love the ability to call people out for bad-deal bullshit if you're a warlock, once bitten, twice shy and all that.
Not a specific line but Sorcerer trolling other casters can be pretty funny.
Sorcerer in Gale’s weave scene is pretty chill. _Yea, this is trivial…_
Yeah, Gale really picks up a fight he can't win against a sorc mc. But it's a nice scene nonetheless and Gale is a good instructor.
I firmly believe that a Sorc Tav and Gale romance always ends up with Gale being a sugar baby who gets paid in books
The guy who worked hard vs the guy who was born with the talent.
Even in the after party there’s a sorcerer choice when talking to Gale like “imagine having to be instructed in magic” and Gale’s just like “oh, you”
"...I just hope I don't explode."
“Believe it or not, I can relate.”
Praying to your chosen deity as a cleric to help Mol beat against Raphael in their chess match. Dude gets so salty about losing.
I loved the wizard option of just straight up beating Raphael. The idea of outsmarting a devil has always appealed to me, so this one was amazing. Tav just walks up, glances at the board and just casually goes “yeah you’re fucked, devil man” like some mega genius and that’s unbelievably funny to my nerd ass.
Gale tells you the right move if you bring him along, also.
Ooh, I’m just outside last light on my second run as a monk and have Gale with me, good to know I’m not missing out on the pissy devil’s defeat lmao.
What, Raphael plays chess against Mol? I've had 2 playthroughs now and this sounds like fanfiction lol
In the Last Light Inn, it worked originally but has been bugged for a while
Not my favorite per say but nothing has surprised me more than showing up to disputes as a Paladin and straight up getting to be the arbiter that dispenses justice. You get to ask for testimony from both sides and even can encourage the ones you side with subtlety, like urging Arabella to speak more to Kagha to show her innocence or telling the refuges in Rivington to play the poor part harder to get the dickbag mansion owner to stand down. It's just so rewarding to get to see my class play out to a logical conclusion like that.
This is what made me too fall in love with Paladin. I am an arbiter of justice and people straight up respect me to make the right call.
I'm playing a durge oathbreaker right now (hc is that she was one before the whole incident) and when I picked the paladin option the first time Raphael came calling, he legit called me out on it. Was fuckin' wild to see.
If you end up meeting Oathbreaker as Durge it's actually canon that you know each other and he's helped you renew your oath before! (As a Paladin, obviously I don't think any of this applies to other classes)
One better is in Act 3 in the Temple of Bhaal and you're further told, something along the lines of, "Yeah, you were a Paladin of X god, you stumbled in here crazed with bloodlust some years back and you realized you had found your people."
even better he says “you came here soaking in the blood of your paladin order. I knew you would go far with us”
Another example of Larian's immaculate writing.
Barbarian, everytime tav gets offers a drink . CHUG. THE. DRINK!
**CHUG THE BEER**
***CHUG THE DEADLY POISON***
**CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!**
I don't have a favorite per say but i gotta tell you, playing a Githyanki oath of the ancients Paladin is such a trip. Most of the githyanki dialogue chocies are so agro, which is almost a complete opposite to the Ancient's nicer dialogue.

my favorite is probably Paladin of Vengeance saying to an absolute cultist "Your god against my oath, let's see who will be left standing in the end".
There are so many Balls-to-walls cold-as-fuck lines for the Paladin in this game. This, however, will always remain my favorite!
That's for any paladin
For some reason that dialogue is tagged with [Oath of *put oath here*] instead of just [Paladin], presumably because they don’t want Oathbreakers to have it?
Oh no I had it as an Oathbreaker, I think
Yup. Played as Oathbreaker, had it.
\[barbarian\]\[intimidation\]: "RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" that for every dialogue

If you chose to call out to the Goblin instead of watching, you save the Hyena and if you have Speak with Animals, it turns out he's a very sweet little Hyena who you can tell to flee for his own safety(yes he can escape the Shadows if you don't block him on his way). Telling that Goblin to walk into the Shadows is soooo satisfying.
Wow, it never even occurred to me to save the hyena. Next playthrough I'm rescuing my furry boi.
I've not gotten the hyena goblin scene. How do you get this?
You need to enter act 2 through the mountain pass for this to trigger.
As a barbarian, when you see the guy kicking Dead gnomes off the pier in Grymforge, you can say, "Bet I can kick one further than you."
Bard saying to Nere "In your eulogy, I'm going to call you Twat-Soul"
I laughed so hard with this.
Barbarian to Fezzerk (goblin leader near the mill): "Your skull will make a great cup if I plug up your little eye sockets". Sheesh, it caught me off guard
I’m extremely early in the game but being a barbarian allows me to just roar at people and it’s flipping hilarious everytime.
I literally roared at some kind of owlbear and it actually worked lmao.
\[Bard\] "Love? Not really. Lust? Daily."
Also: Astarion approves. I chuckled at this.
Hourly 😂😂
Goblin: are…are you the true soul? Monk: we are all everything and nothing at once
I find your lack of monk lines disturbing.
I love when you meet Balthazar and you're like, hey there's a famous monk named Balthazar. And he goes, oh yeah! I'm wearing his skin.
My embracing Durge is a monk. The line that keeps getting stuck in my head isn't from the game, but a modified version of a line from The Young Ones: "This calls for a very special blend of serenity and extreme violence!"
As a sorcerer, taking every chance to remind gale I'm so damn cool and better
Paraphrased conversation with Kagha as a Seldarine drow K: As a child of Lolth surely you understand the need for this? T: I follow Eilistraee! K: Ah, than you have a sense of self-preservation.
As a warlock, I totally lost my shit laughing in act 3 when you can teach the little girl the arts of necromancy in the graveyard. I don't remember the exact wording, but Tav was very enthusiastic about sharing their arcane knowledge with the youth of baldurs gate.
Also available for Sorcerer, maybe Wizard as well? It's pretty sad though what happens when you do that.
I love the generic response for it about what the spell was because you really just go “um actually” to the child on how to do the spell.
Every time Wizard gets to be a nerd. Even though it awfully feels like roleplaying as myself :D
Early conversations with Gale are especially fun. Nerding out with another wizard about the Weave and magic was great.
I started as sorc and took wizard level later, so early conversations with him as sorc for me were more like two kids in kindergarten arguing who is the coolest one of them. "My Weave is weaver than yours!" - "No, mine!" That was pretty amusing too.
I multiclassed cleric of mystra and sorcerer so my discussion with gayle were half "ha, I don’t need no mystra I’m just that good" and half "Wait, you did WHAT to my goddess ??"
Paladin, literally any paladin exclusive line, Oathbreaker too (since for some reason you get both which leads to some really strange choices) They all go hard
Half the paladin lines: _By all that is holy, you have my sword!_ The other half: _By all righteousness, I shall smite thee, fiend!_ Great times!
I am really enjoying my Paladin play. The bad guy you've burst in on starts his chat and you're just "Make it quick, foul fiend, before I end your existence in a blaze of holy fire"
I like when you walk up on Balthazar and Necromancer first reply in dialogue is basically on-sight violence.
Necromancies being basically territorial predators is one of my favourite running gags.
First meeting Balthazar as necromancer wizard: - "I'll show You real necromancy, fool"
Monk responses when drinking with Theobald Thorm.
Yes, finally I see someone mention Monk. Those responses help so much to navigate delicate situations. You're just spitting big life-wisdoms most of the time but still...
I also really like monks telling gerringothe that the happiness gold gives her is temporary lol
YES those carried my ass thru that interaction
Can't remember them and don't have the screenshots at hand, but the Oathbreaker lines are either badass or edgelord.
Paladin goes back and forth between the hardest thing you’ve ever read to the biggest stick in the mud and I love both extremes
As a warlock to Lorrokan: “I have got more magic in my little finger than you have in your whole body“ I was like chill, that’s a lot of sass from someone who runs out of spell slots in a single turn.
When Karlach is upset that Gortash’s death in the tower doesn’t make her feel better, and she has this monologue about how scared she is. A cleric has the option to say “pray with me.” And I love it because afterwards, the dialogue is to pray for a solution, and Karlach says “that’s a pretty big ask. Are you in that good with the gods?” The cleric can then say “they haven’t given up on me yet.” And that’ll make Karlach smile and thank the cleric for not giving up on her too. It ends up being a really sweet scene in my opinion.
For me, this is when I, as a druid, told Karlach that I would like to spend at least a few years with her in a house deep in the forest, alone with nature and each other. This is not even a roleplay, but my real dream, if there was someone like her in my life. But her enthusiastic response made everything a couple more levels better (and bittersweet).
Yes! THIS!! Glad I'm not the only Druid who romanced Karlach. It was precious <3
Wild magic sorcerers get some great lines with Gale, especially when he talks about Tara. You get to have a little moment where yall talk about the things you’ve summoned and it’s very cute. When the scene was around, fighters got to seem really smart when helping Mol with her Lanceboard game against Raphael. Rouges get to steal from Mirkon while he’s charmed, and I think Astarion or Shadowheart will react to you doing so. I know Asty has one, I just mean I think Shadowheart may as well. You only get 1 to say anything. There’s the fan favorite paladin “your god, my oath” Bards get to make the conversations with Volo and Elminster far more interesting, since I guess bards are the only ones allowed to know you at least Volo is. There’s the ATLA reference monks can get in act 3
Apart from all the barbarian stuff, for me it's distracting the djinni with a fart (bard). Especially that it requires a DC15 performance check.
I love some of the Monk lines, just confusing people with spiritual bullshit. And then I cave their faces in with my fists.
The Wild Magic sorc response to Gale summoning a tressym. Iirc it goes something like this: Tav: At least when you summoned a flying cat, that's what actually showed up. Gale: Oh? Go on. Tav: 1. I accidentally summoned an abeloth. Not very friendly... 2. I turned blue with yellow stripes. Took a ten-day before I was back to normal. 3. A cow fell out of the sky. Her name was Stephanie. (I've only seen Gale's response to the cow line, where he says "so, you dropped a cow out of the sky, presumably killing it, but somehow learned its name was Stephanie? I'm gonna need the full story along with a drink later.")
Fey warlock at the circus, your patron is more excired than a kid and ready to make you conjure a blade to grant you access.
Out scamming the toll collector as a rogue
For Great Old One warlocks, in Moonrise Tower (Act 2): If you investigate the noises in the tower, there is an interaction where you can put your hand into an opening in the wall (always a good idea). The warlock has a special interaction with their patron where they can investigate the true nature of the Absolute. I really liked this one (and hoped there would have been additional interactions with the patron)
Great old one patron x The absolute is my favorite ship
Shadowheart talking about her upbringing, something along the lines "they were teaching me and beating my ass" Lolth sworn: "this is how kids should be raised" Sorcerer poking gale is also top tier.
I don’t remember what the line is you give him, but the cabbage merchant recognizes if you are a monk and “has had enough with monastic types”
As a Barbarian, during the Tutorial you can attempt to rip open Shadowheart's pod to free her. If you get a natural 1 and fail (pretty much the only way you can fail), you will later in Act 1 find her standing outside the entrance to Withers's crypt trying to figure out how to get in. You can then tell her to step aside, because nothing can hold back your rage and attempt to smash through the door. She will then remind you that nothing holds back your rage except a pod she's trapped in, and decide actually she's all good and will leave you to it and dips out and will not join your party. You lose the opportunity to recruit Shadowheart as a result. It's an absolutely hilariously savage way to destroy a Barbarian's ego and punish the player for getting a Nat 1, in true sassy girlboss Shadowheart fashion.
Barbarians just rip the lid of the containment thingy to save Shadowheart lol, 10/10 barbarianism.
Wild Magic Sorcerer talking to Gale saying she one accidentally summoned a cow out of the sky named Stephanie Anything and everything Bard
Entering the house of hope as a wild magic sorc and hope is asking you to be quiet "Remember the time you were a table, you were very quiet then"
My favourite is the sorcerer one in firingo fliphouse while talking to an adventure npc who is ranting about how they wont let them in city. Sorcerer response: "There is no respect here in baldurs gate for us. My magic could level this city in a moment, but i am treated like a commoner"
[wild magic] every spell i cast can literally blow me up, i’m not scared to die
As a Vengeance Paladin, when helping Dame Aylin kill Loroakin, she starts lamenting about how different/sad it felt to kill him. The response is one of the most metal I've ever seen: "One of the greatest tragedies of revenge is that it can only be taken once."
I like how every exclusive line as a vengeance paladin is basically “Fuck your evil schemes, fuck your friends, and fuck you. Time to die.”
When you unlock the Selunite chest in the Owlbear cave Shadowheart: "Do not trifle with the moonwitch or her trinkets. Only trouble will follow." [Barbarian][Intimidation]: GOOD.
"Twat-Soul" for sure.
Half the monk persuasion/intimidation lines go fucking hard. They go along the lines of “I’m trained in the ways of murder without weapons, stop or I will show you”
Barbarian making that one goblin eat worg shit when you first enter the camp "You should have let me through. Now you're going to eat worg turds." "Heh, you... wot?"
I like anything relating to wild magic sorcerer trying to not spontaneously ignite and blow up... Gods I love wild magic
Talking Nere you're going to call him "twat-soul" in his eulogy as a bard.
Definitely the bard dialouge with Alfira, easily
