Are they included in the game? So far I haven't experienced any. I currently my party consists of just Kivan and Imoen.

    If you want banters with Kivan, then the best candidate is Viconia. They quarrel quite alot. I don't think there are any banters between Kivan and Imoen.

    Keep in mind that the contract Overhaul signed to do the Enhanced Edition says that there can't be any new banters between pre-existing NPCs. Only banters between the New with the Old, or New with the New were added, not Old with the Old.

    Thanks for the information. I wasn't aware of that. You'd think they would get the okay to add something minor like banters between characters as long as it didn't change the overall story.

    In the mean time, I'll travel in silence and patiently wait for the Banter mod.

    Adding banters--which could now be professionally written, and with professional voice actors--is something that truly would breathe totally new life into this game. If it is a DLC mod component, that could hopefully keep the game in its pristine state for purists, but also offer it enhanced as such. I really hope that over time WotC will sign off on this.

    I'm mostly just looking forward for the NPC project to add some. Without, they sometimes have very short discussions said out loud without any dialogue screen, but they're over quickly and half the time I can't even tell what was said, so I don't like them as much as some other people here.

    This, I agree with. It would really be a game changer for me if your party had banters and/or interjections with the story. Like when you meet Harpers with Jaheira in your party only for her to be ignore as though she weren't or your party members having last words in the final battle with Sarevok (like with Irenicus in BG2). It's a real shame Overhaul/Beamdog don't have license to even make those little changes.
