Where are the banters?

Jelboo · 06-26-2005, 05:41 AM

Last game I played, I had many banters, including Jan => Minsc, Anomen=> me, Jaheira=> me + the occasional comments during conversations and many others. But this time, I'm already in chapter 6 and I'm doing all the main quests ( Umar Hills, Trademeet) and I haven't heard more than 2 conversations yet that were initiated by the party members themselves, namely one with Valygar and one with Yoshimo. ( and of course the ones with Imoen in Jon's dungeon. What am I doing wrong? Am I playing too fast?

You must have played with a banter pack mod, which can be found at Pocket Plane Group.

No, I did not, although I thank you for the link. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I think it's just the way I play. I rest way too much. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Resting too much would not affect the banters. They are on a real-time timer, and they fire every so often. I find the pace at which they fire far too slow, and I always install the banter accelerator.

What mods did you have installed previously? Several mods besides the banterpack have banter accelerators (including Keto and Kelsey, IIRC). I consider these to be vital parts of the game- the developers just didn't design banters to be accessible to people who'd played through previously.

Also, who do you have in your party? Jan, Minsc, Anomen, and Jaheira have a lot of banters between them. Cernd is virtually silent, as are some other characters. Poor Valygar got gypped heavily; he should liven back up with Banterpack and also Unfinished Business.

I had tried some smaller mods, like KIvan of Shilmista, but they caused some wierd bugs ( for example Kivan suddenly yelling when he first met us: "Demons? I don't see any demons!" [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

My party consist of:
Me, fighter/cleric
Korgan == > I know these two will fight...
Aerie ====> but perhaps, they won't if they haven't had the banters...
Valygar
Mazzy
Minsc
It lacks a good thief and magic... This party is just experimental, I'm trying out different ways...

I could always find some good Mac mods to heighten the banters.

Never mind this now, I have replaced Minsc and Aerie with Edwin and Viconia, and the both of them suddenly caused a whole lot more talking ( Nether Scrolls, Viconia insulting people, Korgan attempting to flirt with Mazzy... )

Take note that Mazzy and Valygar will have banters too...
