Banter list?

Post by Tricky »

I'm looking for a compilation or list of all the banters that take place between the party NPCs in the OC. I want to know if I have missed any. I found one ([url='https://www.google.no/search?q=nwn2+npc+banter&rlz=1C1CHMO_nlNO501NO501&oq=nwn2+npc+banter&aqs=chrome.0.57.8838&sugexp=chrome,mod=3&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#hl=en&tbo=d&rlz=1C1CHMO_nlNO501NO501&sclient=psy-ab&q=nwn2+npc+banter+-%22legends+banter%22&oq=nwn2+npc+banter+-%22legends+banter%22&gs_l=serp.3...138285.148394.4.148523.18.18.0.0.0.0.169.1919.9j9.18.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.1.a3fM5Z3ntN4&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.bGE&fp=b440ac92e81425e9&bpcl=40096503&biw=1280&bih=687']top search result[/url]), but it appears to be offline. Has anyone stumbled across one?

Not I.

But in truth - I don't think there is any banter in NWN2 beyond cut-scenes.

Pretty sad actually. (..though a few of those cut-scenes were funny):

1. off the boat in NW for the first time with Neeshka, and
2. insult contest with Neeshka, Khelgar, and Qara in the Flagon.

There were quite a few more, but it always felt so scripted and linear in the cut-scene format. Dragon Age improved on this with the occasional in-game banter between only two party members, but it still lacked the diversity and sophistication of BG2 or PS:T (..which had more than 2 members interacting together).

It was probably done on purpose for user module building. :(

Hm, too bad. I distinctly remember thinking some npc combinations didn't have any banters at all. But then I did switch them around a lot because I wanted to score influence points for everyone.

Bishop and Elanee have some banters iirc if you take elanee spoiler: to the githyanki base.
Right Speech has four aspects: 1. Not lying, but speaking the truth, 2. Avoiding rude and coarse words, but using gentle speech beneficial to the listener, 3. Not slandering, but promoting friendliness and unity, 4. Avoiding frivolous speech, but saying only what is appropriate and beneficial.

Yup - that's a cut scene for the end of the base triggered by talking to Shandra.

Bishop always instigates (..he is scripted into that portion of the game). Others in your party might also react.

The same is true for the Golem earlier in that base.
