Anyone still play this?

I was fighting some hobgoblins during the firkraag quest. My main character's a wild mage, a class added by the expansion that causes magic to do wacky stuff. So, I've got minsc, jaheira, mazzy, and anomen fighting in front, with aerie and I are in back. There's a hobgoblin elite shooting arrows at us, so I try to take him out with a magic missile. Then, this happens:

Korin - Casts Magic Missile: Hobgoblin Elite
Korin- Wild Surge: Squirrels... Everywhere squirrels!

Instead of many red spheres of death, a bunch of squirrels spawn and they're under my control.

Yeah, wild magic is pretty nuts.
I've also had a fireball turn into a mass-heal spell that targeted everybody in the battle.

I've been playing this on and off for a long time. Just ended playing recently, after I finished BG2, imported, beat it again, installed an exp uncapper, installed the BG1 linker, imported again, and played all the way through Throne of Bhaal. So I'm kinda burned out on the Baldurs Gate games. Probably going to come back to it at some point in the future, it's a great game.

Hell yeah, there's always gonna be people playing this :3.

Wild Magic was pretty overpowered. The surge effects are rarely bad, and you get all the benefits of being a specialized mage with none of the drawbacks.

Yes, I abused it heavily. >_>

Except for the surges I mentioned in the OP. But, I use Nahal's Reckless Dweomer far too often. It leads to some fun situations.
