[mods] SoD-Only Companions from Weasel Mods

A new bunch has joined Weasel Mods -- you can now download companions that shall join you during the Siege of Dragonspear DLC. You can download them separately, but these companions aren't that big, thus I've decided to make them a collective subforum.
Sir Arkanis - Arkanis, a member of the Candlekeep team and a dwarf Watcher, returns as a possible companion for the Siege of Dragonspear official DLC. He has received a promotion, and is now a paladin. The character comes with friendship talks, interjections, banters, and a possible romance with non-evil characters (gender and statistics do not matter, but you need to give him a sign or hint at least twice during the friendship path to make him notice your interest). He may join the group right after you leave Baldur's Gate (Coast Way Crossing area).
Eldoth - Eldoth Kron is back for the Siege of Dragonspear official DLC. He's still as nasty as he used to be. The character comes with a small quest, some timed talks, interjections, and a few banters with other companions. Know, however, that he is just as repelling as in the original game. Truth be told, even I don't like him, and I made this mod, so... if you want to make him come with you, perhaps ask yourself if you really like surrounding yourself with manipulative charlatans.
Faldorn - Faldorn returns as a possible companion for the Siege of Dragonspear official DLC. She may now be encountered in Baldur's Gate, near the Iron Throne building. Convince her she should join your group, and you will be able to keep her for the whole DLC. She comes with a few timed talks, interjections, banters, a small quest, and a few quasi-romantic talks that serve as somewhat of an introduction to the BG2EE mod that is also available on the Weasel Mods website (requirements: any gender, any chaotic alignment, 13+ strength, 11+ constitution).
Mother Lost - The mod adds a new companion for the Siege of Dragonspear official DLC -- she calls herself Mother Lost, but in time you may uncover her true name. The character may join you late in the DLC, next to the Fugue Plane portal; some may therefore consider her more of a temporary character. She is looking for another character you, the Child of Bhaal, are destined to face. The character is an undead fighter and comes with only a few talks/comments. To enjoy the character more, I suggest playing IWD and IWD2 first, as the character refers to events from both games, and this mod was created to bring the two series even closer together. Be aware, it contains spoilers for both campaigns.

Remember, these are their v1.0 thus they haven't been widely tested. Their content however, is in their final shape; I won't be adding more content to them. These were mostly created for the sake of replayability and new team compositions. These are rather small mods, but they should still bring some additional fun to SoD.

Thank you, now I'm eager to try a party with Eldoth and Faldorn.
Btw does Faldorn get during installation the option to choose her hoter BG2 portrait or only the BG1 one?
She is also a normal druid here; her kit isn't part of this mod, as story-wise, it is later on that she radicalized herself even more. In SoD she is somewhat between being her previous self, and the BG2 version of her.
Just one question, do Faldorn and Eldoth use the same cre files as the original characters? So that the mods recognize if players changed something regarding stats, classes, kits etc.?
I wanted to have a bard in SoD, and even if someone would like to ask Voghiln to join the group, that way you can have someone who has the same class as him, and just swap them later on.
Eldoth is a horrible person, and I feel somewhat horrible that I added him, heh, but I wanted to have at least 2 more people of the original cast to become available in Siege. That also allows to let Eldoth and Skie to quarrel a bit more in SoD, and show that she's no longer under his influence and she's not falling for him and his lies ever again.
Furthermore, as I said many times, I do not use EET, and I dislike the idea, because I'm not a fan of BG1 campaign and I would rather skip it most of the time.
Do the new companions banter with each other?
