BG2 Party for Banters *Spoileriffic*

Now that BG2:EE is looming on the horizon, I thought it best to start planning parties for various characters.

What are your suggestions for parties that will bicker, complement, mock or joke the most? If they make a balanced party then so much the better!

An Example:
Korgan, Mazzy, Viconia, Edwin & Jan with a male Fighter->Druid PC

Here you get the Korgan-Mazzy "Romance", the Korgan-Viconia-Edwin bickering and the Jan-Korgan "friendship?", in addition to Viconia as a potential romance option.

This party also has a couple of tanks, divine and arcane casters & a thief!

    Not a bad lineup. Jan is funny with a lot of characters, but his best banters are probably his Anomen stories and the 'Plooty Paladin-Piper' banter with Viconia and charname. Edwina and Haer'Dalis/Minsc are great as well.

    One thing I can recommend is to edit the NPCs to whatever you want to play class-wise. That way you don't have to let performance impact your banter/romance and can select NPCs solely based on who you like for their personality rather than their stats.

    @Shin I remember the Story of Ano the Dung Orc very fondly ;)

    Jan and ano is always a good laugh. I also like minsc and Vicky - the one about his facial tattoo.

    Keep Jan in tob and bring sarevok. Or binky as he is now known as.

    I'm going to have so many playthroughs with a mix of the new and old just to find all the new banters.

    I like having Haer'Dalis and Aerie along because of the romance subplot. Aerie also has some good interactions with Jaheira.

    The best interactions, however, seem to be between Imoen/Sarevok.

    I usually run a party of Charname, Imoen, Jahiera, Viconia, Edwin, and Aerie. I find that it has enough banters to keep me entertained without having so many as to be overwhelming. It also roflstomps all the content in he game.
