Hi!

Going to jump straight into it

The Idea
A place where all NPC's go whenever they leave your party. I've noticed that some just trail off, I did a project where I was collecting NPC's and dumping them at the Friendly Arm's Inn. I realized this was way too time consuming and when NPC's began walking away I gave up.

Is there any way to change this?

What I am thinking is a "3rd option" when you meet an NPC and you get the choice to have them in your party or not, the 3rd option would be "Go to the Haven" or "The House". This wouldn't be a place where all NPC's are, only those who have either left your party or those that you sent to this area (NPC's that you have interacted with).

Kind of a Baldur's Gate camp, "equivalent" to that of Dragon Age: Origins. A "Choose your Party"-area.

Is this a possible?

Have a great wonderful day :)
Hugs!

I've always wanted one of these. Orrrrr, even better, I'd LOVE to be able to send them to the stronghold. Oh my god, ideas are totally forming in my mind - BG2 stronghold expansion project... if I ever do a mod, it'll be that. Anyway, if you ever decided to take this forward, you'd have my full support :)

Oh and in answer to the actual question you asked, I'm sure you could do it from a technical stand-point, but I don't know anything about anything, so don't take my word for it.

Well, there's tweaks allow you to send the NPCs to taverns ... in the kick out situtations after the final talk.

Heh, tried to take a screenshot of the Friendly Arm inn in my game, but for some reason i cant, suffice to say that i collected every NPC (including mods) with the exception of 2 dudes (dragonslayer paladin & the guy that goes with you to the Vampire keep, both in DSotSC) and now there is a huge crowd of people at the entrance to the inn :shifty:. An heaven for NPCs in BG2 not only would be a awesome idea, but it would be MUCH appreciated.
