Hi,
i'm Elena and i'm italian so sorry for my english :innocent:

i've a query that can't me sleep!!!  (i think this phrase is seriously wrong...however...)

some times ago, a WoW player named Leroy did a madness and became famous, he shouted: "Leeroooooy Jenkiiins" then ran into a room full of dragons (then he died )

my doubt is....someone told to me that in baldur's gate (1 or 2) there is an NPC named Leroy Jenkins that do similar things, but this has been a long time ago and i don't remember if this is true or false. i have not found any informations for confirm or deny my memory....

can someone help me?

I've played BG a dozen times and BG2 perhaps thirty times and never seen a Leroy or a character that runs into a Dragon's den.

I say false.

I'm also thinking both Baldur's Gates pre-date WoW. Not Warcraft III, but WoW. Could be wrong, though.

In BG2 there are only three hostile dragons. Even counting Throne of Bhaal expansion dragons, there are not that many. All dragons live alone. No-one ever runs into their lairs.

There is no such thing. I don't recall it from NWN either, so he's either simply wrong or is misremembering something else.

You are, actually. The series predates both.

Are you possibly talking about a mod?

The 'Leroy Jenkins'  joke doesn't have anything to do with Baldur's Gate. It became famous due to a video released by a guild. It features a group of players discussing the strategy for an encounter in WOW (Blackwing Lair, iirc). A player then disrupts the strategy and charges headlong into the battle while shouting "LEEROY JENKINS!!". You can find the vid here: http://www.youtube.c...?v=LkCNJRfSZBU. The player's name was Leroy Jenkins.  He just shouted his own name.

It's actually quite funny, though it's probably staged and a parody on the endless tactics discussions in WOW. By now it's grown rather old, though.

Anyway: it has nothing to do with Baldur's Gate.

maybe was a mod...
maybe NPC has different name...
maybe i've alzheimer's youth...

Sounds like something that Garrick might do, if equipted with the Boots of Stomping and a copy of the Gem Jump spell  

Perhaps someone was harkening back to floppy disc era Dragon Lance games. There was one where, Dragon Lance in hand, you had to sneak around single handedly bumping off one or two dozen SLEEPING dragons. Talk about unbalanced super weapons!

The only Jenkins I know of in Baldur's Gate is the halfling that let the kobolds get into Gullykin (Baldur's Gate 1), but he didn't storm into caves shouting his name.

Ick, this better not be about freaking Bondari or those kids in Imnesvale. :-)
