Would it be an option to, instead of changing how Douglas spawns, include some kind of check to see if the party avoided Douglas?
For example, set a timer, and at the end of that timer, if the party has not talked to Douglas (the hasring variable is still set to 1), revert the variable update, so Douglas can spawn again? Or maybe revert it when the party rests or travels?

That's an idea. Perhaps it could be done with an InMyArea() check. If Ajantis goes to an area without Douglas, but the variable is still set to 1, revert the update. Then, the next time Ajantis goes to one of the city areas, Douglas will respawn.
Probably also need a check to make sure we don't respawn Douglas in an area twice. An Exists() check should do that.
That's possible, but by far the more complex solution which could introduce new bugs, needs to be tested, etc. and all just for having the messenger walk up to Ajantis. If you feel like spending the time, I'm not stopping you, but I don't think it's worth the effort, to be honest.

You're probably right. It would be rather complicated. I'll do a simple CreateCreatureObjectOffset(). In my tests, it seemed to work fairly well.
Branwen seems to be stuck a dialog loop after Tazok's Death, seems like something was trying to fire off but it is only Branwen's player initiated dialog tree, and not any dialog pertaining to Tazok himself. She will repeat this infinitely until you kick her out of the party, but putting her back in the party does not fix this.
I'm not sure if this is a bug solely to this mod or if another Mod was conflicting with it. I checked my mods, and there doesn't seem to be anything it could conflict with it.
@AstroBryGuy Does 'The BG1NPC Project: Bardic Reputation Adjustment' really needs PID component to be reinstalled?

I've got a request, even if the mod seems not to be under "scrutiny" anymore.
Some of the answers you can give to imoen after you check gorion's body, do not lead to you actually bury him. But.. this way it doesn't provide closure. A chance should be given anyway to the player, no matter what dialogues choice you've given.

Try talking to Jaheira. Certainly in the past that led to closure.
I recently began a fresh run and noticed that the Boomerang Dagger+2 is not flagged as applying STR bonus. I changed it for my game via NI, but apparently we are no longer allowed to attach .ITM files? Anyway, if anyone else would like this edit, here you go.

In my current install with v24 it seems to be working as intended, with the added STR bonus.

That must be the issue. 23.3 is marked as the latest release, since it looks like 24 is in beta, so that's what I downloaded over at g3. I did check the changelog for 24 before posting, and didn't see it mentioned in the log. But thanks for following up.
You can get round the Branwen/Tranzig problem by setting "P#BranTranzig" to 2 after she starts trying to spam her pid flirts. You miss the line she's supposed to say then but at least she shuts up.
Okay some things to note for my playthrough. I got:
> gorion's amulet, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do with it. In the description there are no references to his properties, apart that it is not usable from wizard slayer.
> I told Imoen that I would gift Gorion's amulet, but I fail to understand to who and why.
> Jaheira never had any conversation with me about the body of Gorion, even if I didn't dig a hole in the ground for him.
> There is a conversation with Dinaheir that makes no sense.
I couldn't make a screenshot, but it begins with asterisks and ends with asterisks*
It say something like
you now know you are a bhaalspawn... [..]
> Question: When does the dinhaeir romance end? I reached the undercity, but only Jaheira and Khalid talked. How can it be? No imoen comment? No Dinhaeir comment? Seems strange.
It's effectively an Amulet of Protection +1. You can equip it on charname, or give it to an NPC by equipping it on the NPC.
Dynaheir Romance
I didn't get any interaction whatsoever from Dynaheir after killing Winski, either... I think she's supposed to say something, and you should get a few items when Dynaheir is in the party, but I saw none of that myself, either.
Just wanted to say thanks for this mod, its fantastic. I have done multiple plays of bg2 since its original release, but could never get further than a few hours in bg1 due to the limited character interactions. So far ALL of the writing has been top notch, specifically the interjections which really help flesh out the various quests.
@Thels
I got these interactions. Spoilers if you wish:
Winski is the male equivalent of Dinhaeir - while dinhair is an hathran, Winski is a X (can't remember the name but you got the general idea. Anyway, Winski summons a cambion to kill you. The encounter is well done in the end... but there is a general re-use of dialogues that you are going to read later that I didn't appreciate tbh
Some NPC comment upon entering the Undercity. Jaheira has a line, Minsc two. Hm, there don't seem to be a final talk triggered by location for Dynaheir romance, nor Imoen.
I agree this is a bit scarce. (Play the Ajantis romance. Ajantis has a real final talk in the Undercity!)
Whilst I love this mod and wouldn't play without it, the use of strings used elsewhere does detract from it slightly. For example Mendas in Candlekeep using exactly the same dialogue as is used elsewhere in the game is slightly immersion breaking. I don't know if it takes a lot of work to alter such things, but changing the dialogue slightly so that it differs would make a big difference IMO.
Comments
For example, set a timer, and at the end of that timer, if the party has not talked to Douglas (the hasring variable is still set to 1), revert the variable update, so Douglas can spawn again? Or maybe revert it when the party rests or travels?

@megamike15
When I try to talk to Jaheira there is no dialogue that even hints at it.

You only get that talk if you don't bury his body.
I wasn't aware of that fact

There's just one thing you have to be careful about. Do NOT have Branwen in your party when talking to Tranzig. It'll get her dialogue to get stuck.

Gorion's Amulet
Dynaheir Romance
I got these interactions. Spoilers if you wish:
No banter from any npcs. Should be the final showdown. Like before meeting irenicus.
Khalid, Jaheira, Imoen, Minsc, Dinhaeir
And I'm heavily romancing Dinhaeir
Do you need any informations in particular? Just tell me what to do and I'll do it.
I agree this is a bit scarce. (Play the Ajantis romance. Ajantis has a real final talk in the Undercity!)
