NPC Interaction and Banter Guide (OK Finished)

Lemernis

The vanilla banters are moddable, actually... I'm pretty sure their occurrence could be increased, and interactions tweaked. I just hope Beamdog eventually does so in an enhancement of its own along these lines. It would be quite a lot of work for a modder if the devs eventually do it later.

This might be a newbie question but anyway, is this a NPC mod to substitute the Gibberlings 3 NPC mod? will there be "normal" banters between them?

Lemernis

@JosefineS If you mean this guide that Mordeus compiled, it's basically a catalog of all of the lines that the NPCs in BG: ToSC (original unmodded game) speak. Some of the NPCs do have some interactions in the vanilla game and BG:EE, they just don't occur very often.

If you referring to the post I just made, I was just commenting that a mod could be developed that makes those banters/interactions fire more often.

The guide to NPC dialogue featured in this thread is not the BG1 NPC Project, which is currently being updated for BG:EE. But your post seems to reflect that you know that.

Thank you for clearing that up for me!

Loved this thread for months and months now! Constantly used it when I rerolled to pick fitting partymembers.

I may have missed it but is there a 2EE equivalent?

Mordeus

@Griboe There isn't a 2EE equivalent mainly because there is so much dialog banter in BG2EE to document.

Griboe

@Mordeus I could totally live with just the numbers but yeah I see you point - Most everyone is bound to have some interaction with whomever I pick.

@Griboe Sorcerers.net has a big document of all the random banters, but that's full text and as a result very spoilery, and it doesn't take into account NPC reactions to quests and such.
