Mod Squads: running with only modded NPCs

in General Discussion (Spoiler Warning!)

Like many people here, I'm always on the lookout for newer and better NPC mods that can breathe new life into my playthroughs. This is especially true for BG2, since I've never been that big of a fan of the game's original NPCs.

In my current BG2 run (which is nearing the end of Chapter 3), my party is currently comprised entirely of modded NPCs:

Isra
Auren
Anishai
Fade
Keto

I previously also had Yasraena, Xan, and Angelo in my party, and anticipate swapping out Auren for Sirene before heading off to Spellhold.

Does anyone else here fill their parties almost or entirely full of modded NPCs? What have been some of your favorite mod party compositions?

    In my last unfinished BG2 I had Branwen , Coran and Xan . The three mods are full of party interaction and dialogues with the pc that it made me feel like they ain't modded at all , it was amazing and I intend to restart that playthrough someday !

    Yasraena is so broken! I love her. Auren is great, though she's best paired with Nalia.

    Xan for BG2 is one of the best NPC mods out there. The mod creator really put a lot of thought into developing him and making him a jaded cynic with genuine ideals rather than a one-dimensional Eeyore.

    In my last runthrough I rather enjoyed the crossmod banter between Angelo, Faren, and Adrian.

    the issue with these runs is i always need yoshimo in my party as i feel bad if i leave imoen i spellhold. but as the reason i like yoshimo at all is due to his friendship and romance mods that flesh him out, he may as well be an npc mod.

    I love Yas too, she's become a staple of my BG2 parties.

    What I like most about Xan (and also Angelo, from the same creator) is that you get access to a lot of interesting subquests and items/weapons (for example, I currently have a Ring of Regeneration thanks to one of Xan's quests).

    Since it's relevant: I made a couple NPC mods for Korax the ghoul and Lilarcor the sword.
