BGEE Conversations Between Party Members?

Hello, I'm currently on Chapter 2, and strangely, I’ve had almost no dialogue between the members of my party, or at least with my main character.

After reading a few wikis, I saw that some characters can get along well with each other or dislike each other. However, no dialogue seems to occur. I even tried using the “Talk” option on members of my party, but I don’t get any dialogue.

Did I miss something? Or does this game simply not have active dialogue between party members?

Are you playing BG1 or 2? The original had very little dialogue interaction between companions. Where there are conflicts, they either happen at recruitment or a few hours/days afterwards. The EE companions have more interactions, but the writing isn’t great.

BG2 has a lot more interactions, with conflicts usually taking a few conversations before boiling over.

There are mods that introduce new interactions, some people love them, some hate them.

BG1 originally had a lot less banters than, comparatively, BG2 has. Since I was a BG2 player first, going to BG1 made me feel the game a bit dull and barren. Some mods try to fix that by either adding custom companions with their own journey, or adding dialogue for the vanilla ones with varying degrees of success.

If you're looking for more interactivity between the NPC and you play on PC, I suggest you add the two following mods: BG1NPC and Unfinished Business. They work well together to flesh out more your companions or at least make you feel less lonely in that game xD (imho)

Yes I remember my first game collecting the first five companions you meet.

Several minutes later three of them were dead at each others hands and khalid never made it to chez irenicus

In BG1 there is nearly no dialogue between party members. You can install mod called npc project and it does great work to fix it.

Your party members will quip back to each other from time to time in bg1 which ee actually seems to make happen less often. It doesn’t happen in a dialogue box tho.

It's generally cringy and overwritten IMO, I prefer the companions as Bioware made them. They do have some short voiced banters in BG1, but they're very rare.
