Lord Binky the Buffoon

Current Behaviour: When your party goes by Binky if your leader is under stealth Binky won't approach anyone in your party. Even if others are not stealthed/invisible. This doesn't seem to be the case with other encounters.

Expected Behaviour: Binky should talk to whomever he can first talk to (and see).

In my case my shadowdancer charname is the leader of my party and my party was able to avoid talking to Binky because she was stealthed (though she is losing that stealth in this photo).

Edit: It may be a bug that existed originally in BG1. I'm not certain.

    Yup, he walks around everybody else to get to the protagonist, it doesn't even matter if you're 4th in the marching order.

    He mocks you and then leads you into the tent where the which babe is about to be murdered by yet another spell casting zealot. I believe him to be a polymorhped critter that was created to subtly bring her help and explain HOW to help her simultaneously.

    Yea but you can talk to him with any party member. Idk its just weird. Its not like charname is needed during the conversation.

    Unless someone can show me otherwise I'm just going to presume that this is indeed something that originated in BG1.

    This guy really annoys me far more than Noober ever did, Noober can't help himself whereas this guy does it on purpose.
