Help: Noone has anything to say to anyone

Dafojk

Hi all

This is very strange, dialog in my party has completely silenced, I think it has been that way for a long time. Nowone will enter dialog "charname has nothing to say to you" - everyone.

My party is this:

Myself: Human Berserker, Chaotic good
Minsc
Kivan
Imoen
Branwen
Xan

Im in chapter 5 and noone has said anything for a loong time. What could it be? Ive done quest from a good alignement pov. Reputation is 20 (herioc) atm.

Hell, even Imoen wont speak to me

Any suggestions?

I did "let" Dynaheir die, to kick her from the party afterwards. Did this to keep minsc without Dynaheir - could this action be why no one enters dialog?

There simply isn't that many banters in BG1.

No-one in the party has a personal quest or romance prelude. All they will say are the default lines to each other (or battle cry, being selected), and from what I know, Imoen won't even do much of that.

This is one of the reasons why I used to fairly often create custom parties for BG1 according to a theme or RP concept. (And probably will again now for BG:EE.) You're really not missing out on all that much dialogue-wise.

By the time you have invested in creation of a particular character within that gameplan, chosen a cool portrait, found a great custom soundset, (and in some cases maybe even use SK to hack an illegal although not necessarily overpowered build), the character feels about as fun to play as a NPC. They can often have a very unique flavor. In many cases I've even enjoyed them more than the NPCs. They just don't have a quest. But that's fine.

In BG2 it's a different story, of course.

But anyway, this is one of the reasons that I remain hopeful that WotC might one day see fit to sign off on professionally done DLC of banters for BG:EE. Don't get me wrong, I love the BG1 NPC Project. But it would be awesome to see a professionally developed banter pack for the game. Using as many of the original voice actors as they can get. (In cases where they aren't available, hire new actors that can sound indistinguishable from the originals--that's what pros do.) Nothing could refresh the game than this, imho.

Thank you for your replies. So the way I understand it is this (correct me if im wrong): The banter, the chats, the reactions were first introduced in BG2? Because I was sure i remembered that they characters would talk, chat, flirt etc.

In this BGEE playthrough nps have been virtually silent.

Nope, not unless you had the BG1 NPC mod installed.

Also, it's easy to miss the few banters that NPCs do have in BG1, as the game doesn't pause and open up a dialog box like it does in BG2. They just speak the lines as you're walking around or whatever, so if you have the volume turned down and subtitles off, you may not even notice.

Yep, they are mostly simple exchanges like this

Occasionally it does. There's at least one "proper" banter between Xzar and Montaron, and one between Khalid and Jaheira, that I've seen in my games. But they're definitely much rarer than the generic comments.

the new characters, dorn, neera, and rasaad, have more banters than the original characters and will flirt, etc. having them also has them talk with the original characters, which could make people like jaheira and others talk more.

Yup.

"HaHAR, there, Monty! Quite the fight, ehh chum?"

and

"Tell me a story, Monty! Something with bears and gold!" (he says this in falsetto which just cracks me up)

also ...

"It would take a sailor to untie your tongue"
"Jaheira! Must you be so ... so ..."
"Insufferable?"
"Yes, that's, definitely it."
