I'm aware one must be either Aerie or Jaheira for the romance (Not including Viconia as I'm going good/neutral) but from a non romance interaction who has the best lines to make the party and adventure more fulfilling? |
Jan Jansen. He has the best lines (and the most lines) out of all the NPCs.
Also, at high level, he has incredible power if you know how to tap into it (which is true of most NPCs). For example, take a look in the recent message threads concerning thieves in battle and backstabbing.

Intelligence doesn't really make much difference. It doesn't affect the number of spells a character can cast, and even a character with Intelligence 9 can learn 9th level spells. Intelligence does affect the number of spells you can write in your spellbook, but if the limit gets in your way, just have your character drink a Potion of Genius and/or a Potion of Mind Focusing and scribe the spells while your character's Intelligence is raised temporarily.
