-Imoen's banter in 1 is minimal, even with restoration patches. She was included almost at the end of the development process after all.
What a lot of people don't know is that this was also the case in BG 2. For much of the BG 2 development process, it was planned that Imoen dies in Spellhold, and given that she was missing for 90% of the game before Spellhold, few dialogue interactions were actually recorded for her.
They scrapped that idea late into production, but didn't have time to add back all the lost dialogue interactions, resulting in a character that didn't talk to the rest of the party for the bulk of the game.
