Baldur's Gate joke that no one in the car got...

[dwturducken]

As we were sitting in the driveway at my wife's ex-husband's house, waiting for my stepson to come out so that we could head home from our holiday trip to the in-laws, I said, in my deepest voice, "You must gather your party before venturing forth."

My wife and son had no idea what I was talking about.

Rather witty comment, IMO, but have either played BG? If they haven't then I can understand why the joke passed them by. At least you didn't start shouting, "GO FOR THE EYES, BOO! GO FOR THE EYES! RAAAAAGH!"  :P

My wife is "gamer-adjacent," as her ex is also a gamer, so she's been exposed to it, and my son has been in the room and watched over my shoulder as I played it. I haven't actually set him up, yet, but I have two copies of both BGs, intending (along with MANY other games) to play it with him, so it's not like they would have no idea what I'm talking about.

I have gotten LOLs from other players in various games by using the "GO FOR THE EYES" quote in chat, but I would expect recognition, there.
