Ok, so I'm doing a list of Noteworthy NPC's, where you can find them, and who they comment too. Hopefully, I'll actually update this.

This list's purpose is to enhance the gaming experience with your NPCs. If you like reading NPC dialogue between total strangers (Non-Recruitable NPCs), just search for a name on this list and which NPCs a stranger comments to. Warning, just a tad spoilerish...

Stivan the Hunter:
Race: Halfling
Gender: Male
Can be found: In the bridge district, at the southeastern docks closest to where you fight the Fallen Paladins
Makes Comments to: Aerie, Minsc
Sidenotes: Hates Seagulls

Bertrand the 'Companion':
Race: Gnome
Gender: Male
Can be found: In the Bridge District, just ten feet from where you fight the Fallen Paladins
Comments: Mazzy specifically, but will say something indirectly to any female character, Jan Jansen as well
Sidenote: Only found at nightime

Qadeel:
Race: Human (Chubby {Fat} Guy)
Gender: Male
Can be found: In the Bridge District, on the docks south of where you'll find Stivan the Hunter
Comments: Jahiera makes a comment at him after you save him
Sidenote: Ogres will try to kill him. If you kill the ogres, you gain EXP and gold from Qadeel, but is it really worth it? (EDIT: I've been notified if you help the ogres instead, you get EXP too)

Crazy Celvan:
Race: Gnome (Looks like a Halfling)
Gender: Male
Can be found: The Docks District, near Mae'var's Guild
Comments: To almost every NPC, until he comments to the PC :(
Sidenote: You might want to complete the Renal Bloodscalp Quest before talking to Celvan, seeing as how he runs in there at times and will disappear once you get the guild (This is if you're a thief). After you get the guild, he won't disappear.

Stanet:
Race: Halfling
Gender: Male
Can be found: Almost anywhere in the Bridge District
Comments: Korgan, Mazzy
Sidenote: He wanders a lot, there are two Stanets

Salvanas:
Race: Elf
Gender: Male
Can be found: In the Slums District at the Copper Coronet
Comments: Aerie, Mazzy, Nalia, Jahiera, Viconia, Female Edwin, Imoen (If you patch it, the Kelsey MOD and Imoen Romance MOD have it), and the Female PC.
Sidenote: It's a good idea to pause it right away after Edwin is done talking to him, or you lose reputation if you don't stop Edwin.

Kveroslava:
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Can be found: Near one of the southern gates at trademeet.
Comments: Has a fortune for almost every Npc, including the pc...various mods will change the fortune or add to them, for example kelsey.

Neeber!!!:
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Can be found: Trademeet
Comments: Neeber! Neeber! Neeber!

Gender: Male
Can be found: At the Five Flagons Inn in the Bridge District. He’s the bartender and owner.
Comments: Mazzy, Haer’Dalis

Ribald Bartelman (Spelling? I’m too lazy to check myself):
Race: Human (Looks like an Elf)
Gender: Male
Can be found: At the Adventurer’s Mart, in Waukeen’s Promenade, he owns it.
Comments: Mazzy and Jahiera, probably some more, I don't remember.
Sidenote: Carries a nifty Ring of Regeneration that one of questionable morals might be tempted to pickpocket.

Orionna:
Race: Human (Noblewoman)
Gender: Female
Can be found: The Government district, a bit south of where you find Viconia, near Keldorn's estate
Comments: Viconia alone, Valygar/Viconia, Anomen, Keldorn (I'm fairly sure), Aerie (Again, only fairly sure), Nalia.
Sidenote: If you have Viconia and Valygar in the party and have her speak with Valygar, Viconia will butt in, say something rather humorous, and this will lead to Viconia and Valygar fighting. Usually found at day.

The Gypsy Fortuneteller

Neeber!!!
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Can be found: Trademeet
Comments: Neeber! Neeber! Neeber!
SoA's answer to Noober!

"People say I ask too many questions. You don't think I ask too many questions, do you?"
(Five-second pause)
"What's a cleric?"

SixOfSpades 01-04-2004 01:54 AM

A few corrections: His name is Crazy Celvan, there are actually two Stanets (that use the same dialogue), Salvanas does actually have something to say to Imoen if you've installed Kelsey, and the fortuneteller's name is Kveroslava.

I thought about adding 1 or 2 NPCs to the list, but hey, I've gotta hold something back for GBPitBSoATQ#5. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Jaradu 01-04-2004 06:09 AM

If you keep repeatedly taking to Neeber over and over again, you get five bullets+2 because he thinks they were rocks that people were throwing at him [img]smile.gif[/img]

Dundee Slaytern 01-04-2004 07:39 AM

The bartender in the Five Flagon's will give Mazzy some boots. Forgot his name though. I assume he is a Halfling.

Samuel Thunderburp
Race: Hobbit...urm..I mean Halfling, sorry, sorry... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Sex: Male
Will give you boots of stealth if you have mazzy in the party. Which is pretty wierd, since Mazzy is NOT a thief, and obviously Samuel wants Mazzy to have his old adventuring boots...

If you've put mods on, anyway. There's nothing in the original game. I introduced a Salvanas/Imoen sequence in Kelsey. Mirrabbo took it and messed with it for Imoen Romance.

Illumina Drathiran'ar 01-04-2004 01:08 PM

Oh oh oh! And Samuel will give Haer'Dalis a diamond if he's in your party. And now another one I forgot...

Forgot another important one.
Noblewoman
Race: Human noblewoman
Gender: Female
Can be found: The Government district, a bit south of where you find Viconia
Comments: Viconia alone, Valygar/Viconia, Anomen, Keldorn (I'm fairly sure), Aerie (Again, only fairly sure).
Sidenote: If you have Viconia and Valygar in the party and have her speak with Valygar, Viconia will butt in, say something rather humorous, and this will lead to Viconia and Valygar fighting.

possibly, but imho one of the best written and coded mods ever.

jcompton 01-06-2004 12:33 PM

It might be better if Imoen were actually in it.

She also has comment about Nalia(100% sure)

In the Government District, near southern exit is a noble couple that has a comment about Keldorn and Lady Maria.

Don't forget about the guy near the fountain in Waukeen's Promenade. He has a comment about elves and will interact with Aerie, Jaheira and Viconia.

It's just my subtle way of saying that I find the characterization of Imoen dubious.

Got it. Obviously, I was being thick. I'm still quite disturbed by the whole idea... ;)

Illumina Drathiran'ar 01-07-2004 01:01 PM

Oh Merciful Mystra, are you telling me they play up the whole "Loss of innocence" thing that the idiot who wrote the "Baldur's Gate" series of books uses so much?

Nerull 01-07-2004 08:14 PM

No. As someone who has played through the Imoen romance, let's just say they "alter" her personality to fit the story. If you are set in your mind that Imoen is supposed to act in a certain way, then you will probably not like the changes (i.e. you need to approach it with an open mind). However, it is a well-written mod, and it is very difficult to get the romance going (she is resistant of course, as she looks at you like a brother, then you find out about the mutual father). However, they do come up with an explanation that allows things to proceed.

Calsiumus 01-08-2004 10:22 AM

My favorit one:

Tiax
Race: Halfling
Gender: Male
Can be found:Spellhold
Makes Comments to: PC
Sidenotes:World domanation!!

(I laught so hard the first time i saw him)

[ 01-08-2004, 01:24 PM: Message edited by: Calsiumus ]

Link 01-08-2004 10:43 AM

Then play Baldur's Gate 1, Calsiumus! Tiax is a recruitable NPC in that game!

Calsiumus 01-08-2004 01:27 PM

He is? I have played Bg1 lots of times but never seen him... where can I find him? I TO WANT WORLD DOMINATION!!!!

Jerr Conner 01-08-2004 02:20 PM

Ok, just to let everyone know, my modem won't work, this is my dad's laptop I type from. So if I don't update for a while...it's cause of my dial up modem.

Illumina Drathiran'ar 01-08-2004 03:17 PM

He's in Baldur's Gate. Good luck finding him. My suggestion is, walk around the city area by area, casting Detect Evil when you enter each area. He's evil, so that'll help you refine your search. Now, I THINK he's in one of the central areas. He's definately not near the Blushing Mermaid area, or the docks area (Near Umberlee's temple or the HarborMaster's house)... I'm tempted to say he might might MIGHT be somewhere around the Ragefast's Tower area, but I'm not sure.

Jerr Conner 01-08-2004 03:58 PM

I didn't want to make another post, so I'll leave my question here, anyone have a problem with their computer locking after they installed BGII SOA and TOB?

And if so, did a Baldurdash Fixpack fix this? I was planning on downloading the Baldurdash Patches, but with my modem on my computer gone (And since I've been forbidden to download anything on this laptop), I'll just have to wait, but I'd like to see if someone else had the same problem first.

SixOfSpades 01-09-2004 05:21 PM

Tiax is in the Southwest section of BG city, stading across the street from the Flaming Fist headquarters.

Tancred 01-14-2004 09:21 PM

There's some random townsperson at the Athkatla Gates who's more or less unexceptional except for his constant burbling about joining the army... if you have Minsc, Anomen or Valygar with you, he'll talk to them too.

"I can't wait to join up!"

Jerr Conner 01-23-2004 10:40 PM

Question: Is this thread too spoilerish, or not?

SixOfSpades 01-23-2004 11:37 PM

I would say no.

Illumina Drathiran'ar 01-24-2004 12:30 PM

I think the name is indicative of what is here, as are the first few posts. You could edit the first post with a perpetual mild spoiler alert, if it's giving you a squick, but I think it's fine too.

Jerr Conner 01-26-2004 04:04 PM

Cool, I'll edit it.

Really my intent is to inform people of NPCs they may miss, and might want to have fun with.

wally p 01-26-2004 07:28 PM

Quayle
race: is he a gnome? halfing?
can be found: Circus Tent
makes comment to: Jansen (maybe others?)

I don't quite recall, but there's some intriguing past banter through it all.

Jerr Conner 01-26-2004 09:02 PM

I never thought of taking Jan to Quayle...
