A tiny Baldur's Gate II banter mod. Seven new lines for Boo and Wilson.

What it does:
When both Minsc and Wilson are in your party, Boo will chime in during various situations. Over seven banters, Boo will gradually befriend Wilson and learn from the best bear in the world:
  • How to help Minsc manage his berserk
  • How to actually help Minsc in combat

Compatibility: BG2:EE / EET. No quest/item. Shouldn't conflict with other banter mods.

Requirement: Both Minsc and Wilson must be in the party, and Minsc must have Boo, for banter to trigger.

---

Boo: "Squeak squeak squeak."
Wilson: (stoic bear nod)

Feedback, bug reports, and bear facts welcome.

    In China, Bears are jokingly called "Siberian giant hamsters" because Russian bears in viral videos look clumsy, round, and adorably dopey.

    And Syrian hamsters (the largest pet hamster breed) are officially sold in Chinese pet shops as "bear hamsters" because they're chunky and vaguely bear-shaped.

    The fourth and seventh interjections trigger on party rest. The sixth interjection triggers after combat.

    I must have been out of my mind. Not only did I post this in the wrong section, but I also copied the GitHub project link wrong. It has been fixed now. T

    Because I posted this in the wrong forum section—I should have published this mod in the BG1 section, and since I cannot move the thread, I had to edit it into a release post for another BG2 mod. :p

    This mod is so small that I don't really think it can be called a mod. In fact, it originated merely from my rant and joke about the handling of Gorion's death (and the fact that a powerful mage like Elminster showed up at the scene just one night later without even considering casting some kind of resurrection spell).

    Although it's just a rewrite, I still tend to treat this as my first mod:

    Oh, how silly am I. I know this mod and even keep it in my install order. I love this idea of having alternatives for the original BG cast. Thanks to you and Lava!

    Thank you so much for your appreciation of my mod. Being mentioned in the same breath as Lava truly flatters me.

    Fixed a bug that the banter would still incorrectly trigger when Minsc didn't have Boo.（When would this situation occur? :p
