Any chance that there will be a mod or a way to make our own character custom AI? I don't much care for talking to myself and find the ai choices limited.

Sounds like quite the project. Though I get what you mean. From what I recall, it was pretty easy to tell what selection my partner would use based on their AI setting. Rogue always used charm, knight always used reason, bully used intimidate, etc. The problem with that is the absence of a relationship system in which your partner/companions can "warm up" to yours, resulting in your partner remaining a static 2-dimensional character throughout the game. To script such a system sounds a nightmare. Shame Larian didn't implement one in EE.

Yeah, after experimenting, I think I'm going to skip using AI and just be content to "argue with myself."
It's a big problem... an ai representing a generally very "moral, good" person, who has the independent personality trait, will pretty murder the drunk guards in the beginning, and potentially force the other character into it. People trying to be "good guys" are off to a terrible start just because the free spirit decided to launch an irrationally aggressive assault on the legion itself... I mean, seriously, why kill people just because they wanted to escort you to the wizard? But the AI doesn't care.
There's a radical-ness to the AI, and it's not intelligent... it doesn't look at consequences and fanatically cleaves to its behavior no matter the consequences.
