Now, this is really breakthrough!  But, but what about Kivan, Xan and Yeslick?  No matter, please continue your excellent work. 
Oh, I forgot to write above that Yeslick is also included in this change! Thanks for reminding me! Updated the previous post! Xan is not in the TDD mod, judging by the latest version 1.14 that I have. For Kivan, we did not write such code, because its component in this mod is incomplete and there is almost no text in it - as in the version from the TDD. That is, they are not very different. Now all NPCs are taken into account, except for Kivan. Thank you for your words of support and feedback!

Improved compatibility with «The Darkest Day» mod. Now, if TDD mod is installed earlier than the Smiling Imp’s mod, then the "draft" NPCs from TDD mod will be replaced by more elaborate versions from this mod. This affects Shar-Teel, Xzar, Montaron, Kagain. This change only affects the classic version of the game! On the EE version with TDD, these NPCs are not, and there will be no problems.

UPDATED!!
New version - 11.2!
ADDED NEW CONTENT:
- Added Shar-Teel epilogue
- Added Kagain epilogue
- Added banters between Tiax and EE-NPC (Neera, Rasaad, Wilson) in SOA, including friendship dialogues with Neera
- Added banters between Kagain and EE-NPC (Neera, Rasaad, Wilson) in SOA
- Added three interjections of Kagain in SoA.
- Added Garrick's interjection in one of the dialogues in the Rasaad’s quest in ToB
- Added 16 lines of Faldorn dialogues in ToB
- Expanded Faldorn‘s biography in setup.tra file
FIXED BUGS:
- Fixed a bug due to which the some banters between Xzar and Montaron did not start. The reason was that in some dialogs, instead of InParty("7XMONT"), InParty("MONTI") was written, such a check could not be performed and therefore the dialogs did not start.
- Fixed a bug due to which Xan did not appear at the AR0405 area. The Xan’s script name was written incorrectly in the AR0405.baf file
- Fixed the wrong script name of the Coran in some of its scripts and dialogues (because of this, some of the dialogues did not start)
- Fixed a bug due to which dialogues between Xzar and Yoshimo did not start. The 7XXZARB.d file had an invalid Yoshimo script name in checks
- Fixed the incorrect script name Skie in the bg1x24.d file - now Skie can take part in the dialogue between Garrick and his fans in the Water Gardens
- Fixed a bug in the interbanter.d file, due to which the banters between Garrick and Yeslik did not start (check "7XGAR" now instead of "Garrick")
- Fixed the wrong script names of the Xzar and Montaron in the AR0407.baf file
- Other minor bugs fixed
IMPROVED CODE:
- The code in the tp2-file has been improved, which checks for the presence of other components - now, if the SOA component is not installed, then the ToB component associated with it will simply be skipped, and will not give an error when trying to install
- Improved the way to add a kgenie2.dlg file - instead of copying the dlg file to the override folder, kgenie2.d file will now be compiled in a safer way to avoid bugs when working together with other mods that change the dialogue with the genie in the circus (the ALTER_TRANS command has been added to the file)
- The order of the files inside the mod folder has been improved - now all files are divided into subfolders according to the file type (separate scripts, separate areas, separate dialogs, etc.)
IMPROVED CROSS-MOD COMPATIBILITY
- Improved compatibility with «The Darkest Day» mod. Now, if TDD mod is installed earlier than the Smiling Imp’s mod, then the "draft" NPCs from TDD mod will be replaced by more elaborate versions from this mod. This affects Shar-Teel, Yeslick, Xzar, Montaron, Kagain. This change only affects the classic version of the game! On the EE version with TDD, these NPCs are not, and there will be no problems.
- Improved compatibility of the mod with BGT when installed together with «The Darkest Day» mod

Thank you so much for the wonderful mod, as well as for your trust and support, Smiling Imp! I gradually supplement the mod in the part where the texts were absent before (epilogues for the NPC, dialogues that were skipped, and more). http://www.baldursgatemods.com/forums/index.php?topic=8355.15If anyone has dialogue ideas or suggestions, please write here!I would very much like to add to the mod what you planned and what you wrote about in the first message: 1) A scripted cut scene resolving the Abelard-Heloise-Fulbert Saga.
2) A scripted auction on the second floor of Lady Goldsword's where players would have a one time chance to land precious artifacts.
3) More things to do with the condo you can buy in the Water Gardens. Eventually, I pictured it like a stronghold, only with funnier tasks such as buying enough shrimp cocktail for a dinner party of having your suit tailored correctly for the cotillion.
4) Some place for Oswald to take you in his airship... For any that have finished this quest all the way through, you will know that Oswald offers to take you somewhere in his airship but the dialog options only allow you to decline. I hope to change that one day.
I will try to implement the last point, since there will not be a lot of dialogs to write. I could also add the first three points, but I myself cannot write dialogs for this, this is a difficult task. If you or someone else writes these texts, I can code those points too.

UPDATED!
Added 14 new lines to Tiax's ToB dialogues, including the final dialogue with Melissan and Solar. Now Tiax will not be silent when the player makes a decision at the end of the game!

UPDATED!
A very serious bug was found and fixed - in the component "Tiax and Quayle in ToB", all of Tiax's short remarks (interjections) were mistakenly attributed to the 7XQUA25J file - and as a result, Tiax did not participate in the ToB story, and if Tiax was in the group at the same time and Quayle, then Quayle would speak Tiax's lines.
This has now been fixed and Tiax can comment on ToB story events!

UPDATED!
Proofreading of new texts (epilogue of Tiax and dialogue with Skie at the Tree of Life) completed, thanks to sarevok57 from the Beamdog forum! This was necessary because I do not speak English and the texts were written in Russian and then translated.

UPDATED!!! Version number updated to v11, link updated!
1) An epilogue for Tiax has been written and added to the mod! Previously, there were no epilogues in the mod for any NPC.
2) A command has been added to the 7XQUAY.baf script that will make Quayle start a dialogue with the player after his disappearance trick (as soon as the player leaves the circus tent and sees Quayle outside).
Also added a string-head line with the main character's comment about Quayle's disappearance. Now what happened looks more logical - the hero does not ignore it.
3) Improved the way of coding the Quayle dialog - instead of copying the quayle.dlg file to the override folder, now the ADD_TRANS_ACTION command has been added to the 7XQUAYP.d file, which adds the required command in a less risky way. The old method could lead to bugs if some other mod also supplemented the Quayle dialog earlier and this file had already been previously processed by another mod before copying.
4) Fixed a bug due to which Tiax, after joining Quayle to the group, could start endlessly initiating dialogues with all members of the group (now the WEIGHT is fixed in the required dialogue with Quayle).

UPDATED!
Added dialogue between the protagonist and Skie at the Tree of Life (before the final battle in SoA). Previously, such dialogues were created for all NPC except her. I wrote the dialogue (as best I could) and coded it. The Smiling Imp didn't mind that.
