NPC conflicts

You know, I'm sure as soon as I post this, I'll find the answer myself...

(Or someone will quickly give me a pointer).

I'm trying to find a complete list of NPC conflicts. I know the easy ones: Minsc/Edwin, Quayle/Tiax, Khalid/Montaron (iirc). Are there
others? I'm fairly sure there are, but I don't recall.

Beyond those that fight on personality, are there "guaranteed" fights based on alignment? I think the answer is no, as I've seen Ajantis & Safana in the same party. They aren't quite polar, but they are close. For example, will Dynaheir and Tiax put up with each other?

 

Jaheira/Faldorn and Yeslick/Kaigan and Viconia/Kivan.

 

I've heard that Xan doesn't get on well with Ajantis, and he will actually sound happy if Eldoth dies.

 

Of course Xzar - Montaron and Khalid - Jaheira actually fight once you get in Nashkel with both pairs in your party (I remember my surprise when it happened) harpers and zhents don't get along very well...

 

Does Ajantis get mad if you have any evil characters in your party? (He annoys me, so I hardly ever use him.)

@Caradhras:
"harpers and zhents don't get along very well..."
Biggest understatement I've ever heard.

 

Ajantis is a paladin, and paladins are forbidden by 2e rules from traveling alongside evil characters.

Of course, another path for him to take is to constantly try to convert evil characters, which is probably what the programmers did (because it's easier ). I wouldn't want to listen to that, though.

 

Yeah, in my case though it happened on the road to Nashkell iirc. What a pisser...

 

It happened to me when Xzar and Monty were complaining about how long it was taking to get there.

BTW how far do Viconia and Kivan take despising each other? (i.e. do they attack each other or just keep yelling to you about each other?)

 

Ajantis and Viconia will come to blows.

 

Btw I may be a bit off-topic, but is the reactions of your NPCs depends how high/low your reputation is ?

I mean I usualy go to 20 pretty fast and then Viconia and Edwin can't stop complaining like for examples : ''Surface dwellers are SO stupid'' ''This group is less then intelligent'' .

BUT if I get my rep pretty darn low(like the max is 1 IIRC) the Tiax couldn't stop saying odd/morbid things like : ''This group is impressive, maybe I will allow you to still follow me after I ascend as a godling''.

Just a question like this...

 

The NPCs start 'complaining' if your reputation is either too high (for neutral and evil alignments) or too low (for neutral and good alignments). Viconia and Edwin are evil, so they're grumbling about being so 'goody-goody' and Tiax is CE, so he's really happy about the 1 reputation.

 

Is the game still playable with the very low score of '1' reputation, though I have seen a 'special brigade/commando' of Flaming Fist guys coming at me in BG(I began to slaughter the peasant only at the very end of the game), I din't see any other effects.

Strangest thing is, however the fact that..Imoen will stay no matter how 'evil' I am.

And god damn it, I just hate Jaheira she can't stop complaining one minute, I'm so glad I kicked her out of 'ma team.

 

Imoen has no-one else so of course she's gonna stick around.

How funny are the Yeslick-Kagain and Tiax-Quayle conflicts?

I can't actually think of more to add to what's already been mentioned above.

 

Jaheria will attack Edwin if he insults her enough. This already has happened once in my group. I took control and everything turn out fine, expect Edwin only had 2 HP left.

 

I thought myself into a circle. I'm working out an evil party and am at a loss. I'd like to use Jaheira (for druid spells clerics can't cast), but I want Monty and Xzar, too. She'll fight both of them eventually, right? If I only have one of the pair, do the remaining ones duke it out? I have a couple backup plans should Jaheira prove too much.

 

Make your main character a Ranger/Cleric. This way you get the Drudic and Cleric spells without needing Jaheria and you have a highly buffed scout/tank.

 

I can't be an evil R/C, even as a Fallen Ranger.

 

Take Faldorn. She's evil in spirit, I suppose, if True Neutral on paper.
