So I have started a game and quite enjoy the NPCs 🙂
I have a few more questions though:
1. Whom will the NPCs befriend and romance with? Is it always the character in the first slot? Or is it the one created as the first one at the start of the game? What if I have two custom characters?
2. Is there a way to change the soundset of NPCs? Karihi's voices are very... meh.

It's always Player1, so the first/main character you created. If you installed the Crossmod Banter Pack, companions will also talk to other companions, but use specific dialogue we prepared for them. It's all like in BG2.
2. Is there a way to change the soundset of NPCs? Karihi's voices are very... meh.
Once installed and set, it's not exactly an option. In theory, you can use an editor like Near Infinity and try to edit the character, but with a few clicks you may ruin your savegame, so... I don't advise on doing that. Perhaps her voice will grow on you, at some point.
Hmm... Maybe I will try to improve her sound. I'm not bad with Audacity (but no expert either).
Would be great to make her voice "fiery"
Wish me luck...
So it took only 1 or 2 hours edit all her sound files.
I increased the volume a bit and added a little burning sounds when she's speaking. It's still not studio quality but I think it feels less out of the line. I hope you guys will like it.

The Artisan (formerly known as AionZ) just released three new characters: Athanasios, Guldruk, and Nirik. As the author describes them, they are somewhat lighter in content but nevertheless, cool characters that you should definitely try out! There are more details and links in the first post.

To install it just overwrite the original sounds with the ones in the archive and run the Karihi's setup.
Cheers!
