Personally, I much prefer the NPC voices in BG2. The only NPC paladin you can add to your party, Keldorn, sounds positive and commanding, whereas Ajantis in BG1 sounded like a caricature, a sort of stick soldier. BG1's Quayle has been fortunately reduced in BG2 to a very minor side part, so we don't have to hear his obnoxiousness. As for minor NPC players, at least we don't have attempts to make evil characters seem more so in BG2 by having them snicker over the smell of their own gas--as they did in BG1.
