Will the new characters not interacting with the old game, and old characters, carry over into BG2EE ???

I like the new guys, without being overly fond of any of them, but if they remain their isolated little selves that would really cut down on the chances of me using them come part 2. It's no real issue taking them along in the world of silent, non-talking NPCs that is BG1. But come 2, with the interactions between the party being one of the games highlights, including our new chums would take a lot of that away.
As odd as they were at times, i'd miss turnip stories mid-vampire ambush, Haer'Dalis waiting until your deep, deep into the Beholder nest before working his magic on Aerie etc etc blah blah.

Anybody else feel the same way? Or perhaps the interaction between the 3 / 4 of them will be enough?

    That's not quite true, @GoldenEgg: the new NPCs in BGee do interact with the old NPCs, although not necessarily very much nor with all of the old NPCs.

    For a good example (probably the most substantial), try taking Viconia (old NPC) along with Rasaad (new NPC). When you invite Rasaad to explain his beliefs, Viconia will butt in and argue with him. Then when you take them both on Rasaad's personal quest, Viconia will butt into some of the quest dialogues and argue further with Rasaad ... which makes sense, since Rasaad is fighting against the followers of the goddess Shar, and Viconia is a priestess of Shar.

    Ah thats good to know.

    Welcome back Rasaad, I spent far too long holding your hand not to see it turn into a bona fide fist of fury down the line!

    @GoldenEgg - I think Rasaad gets some interaction with Viconia and Branwen...not sure about others. Used him only once in my runs. Neera gets a bit of banter with Edwin... There was a post about these in the past...try to find it.

    Rasaad actually seems to be the chattiest of the new bunch. He also has a couple of lines with Khalid (about both being from Calimsham, I think).

    I never really got any between Neera or Dorn and the rest of the Party. Baeloth had some initial banter with Viconia but then didn't say much.

    Dorn and Viconia will have a bit of a chat sometime after Dorn's quest is complete and he's talking about his background.

    There is plenty of interaction with the existing NPCs. Don't worry about that. ;)

    Did you mean "Dorn't worry about that."?
