I have put together a small mod for BG:EE, BG:SOD, BG2:EE (and EET) that allows you to make the new Enhanced Edition NPCs less intrusive or disable them completely.

Overview
~~~~~~~~
A mod for BG:EE, BG:SOD, BG2:EE and EET.
The new characters introduced in BG:EE and BG2:EE are not for everyone's taste.
Their character style differs greatly from the vanilla NPCs. Moreover, in
several cases they are trying to force themselves into your party without you
having a chance to ignore them. Some of their attached quests are also very
difficult to solve without resorting to powergaming tactics.
This mod offers two possible solutions for this problem:
1. You can disable all or individual NPCs completely. Since the NPCs have only
been disabled, it is theoretically possible to reactivate them again later by
uninstalling the respective subcomponent(s) of this mod.
2. You can keep all or individual NPCs from initiating conversations or events on
their own. A small number of events have been slightly altered to make this
possible. See below for more information.
If you choose the option to disable all or individual NPCs you can also choose
whether to make their personal or quest-specific items available for everyone
in shops or as loot.
Compatibility
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This mod should be compatible with every mod out there that doesn't significantly
alter the starting locations and scripts of the Enhanced Edition NPCs. At present
only Pecca's mod "EE_content_tweaks" is known to interfere with this mod in BG:EE.
This mod will check if it has been installed and refuses to install relevant
components if detected.
This mod is fully compatible with Siege of Dragonspear. However, Baeloth will not
be affected in the campaign because of his close involvement in a certain event.
Components
