I would of love Larian keep what they did with current NPCs but ADD more BG1/BG2 style ones. Like a dozen more. Not super detailed yet not too shallow either. Just remove cinematic dialogues for those smile So that we get more personalities, party building options while not sacrificing story dialogues (would have to be top down...) and banters.

BTW I loved Jan Jansen. wink Some of the interactions and banters with other party members are hilarious. And lots of great mods kind of smooths and fleshes out some of these NPCs quests/dialogues. So I judge BG2 npcs by these standards.
I'd have him in my party rather than Astarion, thats for sure. But thats just me, Im not found for that type of kinky vampire.

I can see Jan retired in Baldur's Gate opening a "Turnips candy shop" but really an illegal magical oddities blackmarket store wink

It just reminded me of the bowl of goat's milk that old Winthrop used to put outside his door every evening for the dust demons. He said the dust demons could never resist goat's milk, and that they would always drink themselves into a stupor and then be too tired to enter his room..
