Party to have fun with banter

    I don't think info on the new NPCs is complete yet, so here are a few observations:

    Sha-Teal and Dorn: Dorn refuses to fight a duel. Don't know if they will eventually fight to the death.

    Dorn's backstory (not actually a random banter): Edwin and Viconia both make contributions.

    I've come across a couple with Kivan and Neera, but I can't remember the details.

    IMOEN01 - "Please sirs I'm sorry for what I've done but a girl has got to eat you know?
    IMOEN20 - "I told you that it twas Eldoth that had done the deeds, I nothing more so leave me to go"

    I wonder what the original intent of these banters were, especially Imoen's connection with Eldoth. Sounds like Imoen got framed by him.

    Random stab in the dark here, but doesn't the guy in the Friendly Arm Inn refuse to sell to you if you have Eldoth in your party? I'm not sure if that was a mod addition, but I think it could definitely have something to do with this.
    I'm guessing perhaps Imoen was a guide (she'd still be a Thief) and was meant to escort you to the FAI whereby she'd permanently leave your party and stay, would make sense for when Eldoth makes an appearance there. I can't remember what he did exactly, was supposed to perform but didn't? Or performed badly and then stole a load of money?

    Dorn's dialogues and options to have him fight party members to the death:

    In one dialogue, he asks if anyone was talking about him behind his back. You can claim other evil party members did, but not Baeloth. I got the options to accuse Edwin (he says he's been talking bad about ALL party members), Kagain (basically shrugs and fights Dorn) and Shar-Teel (forgot what she says, could be something like 'nothing I didn't say to your ugly face'), but not Branwen or Baeloth.

    Baeloth - not sure if it was triggered by time or area, but he made another comment when entering Baldur's Gate.
  • Baeloth seems to have several location-based dialogues (he wouldn't mind booking a room in Iron Throne HQ), but I didn't see much in the way of inter-party banters with him except for his initial join.

    Not much? I don't think I've seen *any* except when I brought Viconia and Edwin to pick him up, but that counts as his joining. I was disappointed he had no reaction at all to Drizzt, too.

    For a secret bonus character, I'm surprised he gets as much dialogue as he does...

    All BG 1 characters are meh, except the new ones added by Overhaul.

    Also, French don't speak like Jahiera.

    I'm not complaining, I just think it's a missed opportunity to flesh out Baeloth. Drow are so rare in BG1, one would think he would have something to say about such an encounter.

    Jaheira is supposed to have a French accent? I thought it's something East European like Minsc and Edwin.

    Especially given his joining dialogue with Viconia. ('Please don't say Do'urden.')

    @Eudaemonium - Exactly. He is clearly aware of Drizzt and his reputation. If he was a drow who was... I don't know, locked up in a dungeon for the past few decades and didn't get any news, okay. He may think it's normal that there are drow heroing around on the surface, but I'd think he would still ask what memo he didn't get.

    She sounds Eastern European to me too--not French. At least to my American ear the accent sounds a bit Russian, Czech, Polish, etc.

    I usually play good, but I love to listen to Xzar's banter's and interjections, etc. His death rattle is hilarious! :D

    Most of the npc voice acting is very well done all around imo. :)
