Recommendations are a bit difficult. Jaheira is probably the strongest option. Besides that, the Biowares with 5 or more banters are usually the ones with a bit more chemistry (for good or for ill), though some of the quieter combinations may be interesting as well.

Aerie: They've both spent some time in slavery, and Adrian does not appreciate Aerie's attempts to bond over that. At all. Expect things to get very nasty here, and don't be surprised if he starts really living down to his alignment. (3)

Anomen: Adrian loathes knights, and Anomen doesn't really know how to deal with moody evil sorcerers, so there will be some problems here. They've actually got quite a bit in common, though neither is very inclined to admit it. Don't expect much in the way of romance conflicts, though, since neither would really register as a threat to the other until late in their respective romances. (6)

Cernd: Adrian thinks Cernd is an idiot; Cernd thinks prodding at the crazy sorcerer is great fun. (3)

Edwin: These two are natural rivals, especially if Adrian is installed as a sorcerer (since Red Wizards hate them). Expect a whirlwind of bickering, and expect it to escalate. ( 8)

Haer'dalis: The tiefling really puts Adrian on edge and gets a bit of a kick out of it. Other than that, no serious problems. (4)

Imoen: Adrian is vaguely irritated by her frivolity, but they otherwise get along fairly well. (4)

Jaheira: Adrian hates Harpers. A lot. And the feeling is quite mutual. They won't kill each other, but there are a couple of dangerous moments regardless, and Jaheira will not be thrilled if he takes an interest in her ward. It'll take them a very long time to settle down. ( 8)

Jan: Adrian doesn't particularly appreciate Jan's gentle prodding. Jan, of course, finds him highly entertaining. (3)

Keldorn: Adrian isn't stupid enough to pick a fight with a paladin of Torm, and given that he's a renegade (and somewhat burnt out) evil spellcaster, Keldorn is willing to tolerate him. Sort of. They have their problems, though this isn't nearly as volatile a mix as you might expect. (5)

Korgan: Friendly antagonism. Adrian doesn't care for Korgan's crudeness, and Korgan thinks he's a bit of a stuck-up elven aristocratic child, but they mostly get along. (3)

Mazzy: Adrian gets spiteful and petty; Mazzy handles it with grace. (4)

Minsc: They get along. Sort of. Adrian doesn't care for him at all, but finds him more entertaining than anything else. (3)

Nalia: An explosive combination. They're both stubborn, intelligent, aristocratic, and perhaps a bit narcissistic. Their ideologies are polar opposite, however, and they'll pick at that. A lot. (5)

Valygar: Valygar doesn't approve of Adrian's magic; Adrian gets vicious in response. (3)

Viconia: There's quite a bit of tension between these two, but they understand each other and get along relatively well despite themselves. Viconia is easily Adrian's favourite amongst the Biowares, though the competition is not particularly steep. (6)

Yoshimo: Adrian doesn't appreciate being cheated at cards, but they're relatively friendly. (4)

Okay, updates for v2. Crossmod has been included in the recent release as well, at least until the next version of the Crossmod Banter Pack over at G3.

 

BG2EE banters:

 

Dorn: Adrian thinks Dorn is a disaster waiting to happen, and Dorn thinks Adrian lacks conviction. They don't see eye to eye but tolerate each other well enough. (3 / 1)

 

Hexxat: They understand each other well enough and get along fine. (3 / 1)

 

Neera: They both hate Red Wizards? Adrian's not too impressed by her philosophy on life, and Neera's not keen on his "advice", but they don't have serious problems. (3 / 1)

 

Rasaad: These two actually have a bit more in common than you'd expect. They're not exactly friends, but they're not exactly at each other's throats either. (3 / 1)

 

Crossmod:

 

Angelo: They've got a lot in common, between years spent in Sembia and working for evil organizations. There's a bit of class tension, but they mostly get along well. (3 / 2)

 

Arath: Bit of an interesting conflict between these two, given Arath's issues with slavers and Adrian's history with them, but they're mostly okay. (4)

 

Coran: Coran is just so disarming that they actually kind of get along. Expect some nastiness, but not all that much. (3 / 1)

 

Darian: As could be expected, they really can't stand each other. (3)

 

Faren: Faren thinks he's kind of insane, but they get along fairly well, actually. (4)

 

Gavin: Class tension, moral tension, religious tension, the works. They'll challenge each other quite a bit, but they'll sort of tolerate each other. (4 / 1)

 

Iylos: They also, unsurprisingly, don't see eye to eye. (1)

 

Kivan: Probably the most volatile mix. Adrian hates elves, especially rangers, and Kivan isn't about to take his nonsense. (4 / 2)

 

Nephele: Nephele drives him up a wall. She's also fairly unimpressed. (2)

 

Ninde: They have a lot in common, and all of it's bad. They won't start tossing fireballs around, but they can get pretty vicious. (4 / 1)

 

Tiax: Adrian's first response to any Cyricist would be bloody murder. Tiax gets a pass because he's insane, but it's very close. (1)

 

Xan: Did I mention that Adrian hates elves? Xan, meanwhile, is bemusedly horrified. Much less volatile than Kivan, but not exactly friendly. (5 / 1)

 

Xulaye: They actually sort of get along! As much as either of them gets along with anyone, at least. (2)

Nope, they won't kill each other. Though they'd both like to!

 

Glad you're enjoying him. =)

[romanticmisery]

I'm loving having him in my party, mostly because i usually play good aligneds Pcs, and it's ALWAYS funny to have an token evil guy bickering and complaining around, i do think the next updates need crossmod banter with Xzar & Montaron mods  since they're also Zhents, i also regret having installed him as a sorcerer mostly because isn't too versatile but i know that if i reinstalled him as a magic/cleric or  mage/thief, bad stuff would happen with my save or future games, so i'm happy the way things are.

[Rhaella]

Hmm, that's odd... I know I wrote crossmod with Xzar and Montaron, but I'm not sure where it ended up. Either in that mod or stranded in limbo in the Crossmod Banter Pack. It was pretty much just immediately lethal, though, since his policy towards the Zhentarim these days is "kill on sight," so you're not missing too much.

 

You should actually be able to reinstall him as another class without causing any problems. It would not effect the current game at all, but in future games, he'd be whichever class you switched him to.

Yes pretty much haha i just thought it would be very fun, the xzar and Montaron in question are the ones  from the BG1 NPCS SOA/TOB mod, not the ones from the "Darkest Day" i never even tried darkest day (and if i did would be in a completely different installation of BG2) but i dont hear many kind things about it.

 

I do find extremely funny that you can have more than one Xan, or Kivan on your Bg2 because diferrent moders decided to create their own renditions of them, i mean i have the Tiax from the same BG1 npc mod instead of the one from Pocket Plane and i dont know if Adrian is going to have banters with him because of that, different characters mods might require different codes to trigger the banters.

Is just that my Bg2 is heavily modded, not only would take some time to weidu reinstall everything but also some stuff could end up wrong or corrupted, thats why i declared my current install of bg2 "closed"  for any new mods, except maybe if is an update of some mod i already own and it's necessary to correct some game breaking issues.
