I posting to see if any interest exists for a Companion interaction Overhaul mod. I've noticed a lot of strange interactions with Tav and companions that don't follow your character path very well. Even situations where complete interactions were removed after patch 7.

After patch 7 a conversation between Gale Origins and Minthara was removed. This conversation aligns well with Gales Origin quest when romancing Minthara. Whereas now she rambles about the absolute and her commenting on Gale blowing up. This conversation is trigger after retrieving The Annals of Karsus.

Some other odd issue's. If you become God Gale and have Minthara romanced at the end game party. Minthara will be disinterested in Gale being a God. That type of outcome seems at odds with Minthara's character being her character is extremely ambitious so you would assume a positive interaction with God Gale romanced with Minthara. Simple solution is just swapping in the romanced Minthara end game party conversation.

This also points out some strange elements to Origin playthrough vs vanilla. You would think something like Gale Romance Ending would be applied whether your play as Gale Origins or as Tav, but currently the Gale Romance only works with Tav and not Gale Origins.

I wouldn't no myself, but I'd assume issue's like this is spread through out the entire Origin and Companion relationships where characters don't respond in an accurate representation of the characters. Most of these issues stem from not having proper dialogue sequences triggered. It's not as complicated as needing new writing and VO, but instead just an overhaul on which conversations are triggered. Also seems possible to re-introduce some of the character dialogue into the Origin playthroughs. Similar to a Mass Effect style of dialogue.

I honestly wish some of these massive upcoming BG3 mods would work on overhauling the vanilla BG3 game rather then introduce new content. Just seems to be some lack of polish on the mainline character interactions.

One last small issue is Minthara's mouth doesn't move when you speak to her in the final battle preparation room.

Would be a real complex mod, but I'd think people would enjoy a more Mass Effect style dialogue system for the Origins Characters.
