Oh hello!
One of the real hidden gems of the BG series is the sheer amount of detail hidden in the ambient audio.
The people of The Sword Coast are a talkative bunch and, on your travels through its towns and cities, you're liable to hear some very bizarre comments if you listen closely.
I've put together a list of dialogues I've heard in the ambient audio across the various maps of BG1. Of course, these may not be exact quotes but it's my best guess at what I think I can hear among the bustle of general sound effects.
Do feel free to share any other comments you might have heard in your runs, and maybe I'll make a list for BG2 if I ever make it there![:)]( ":)")
