Quite well actually. They did a great job with the banter in all three DA games.
To the people saying Neir Automata, can you elaborate please? Whilst I found the over arching concept interesting, I didn't find the dialogue between 2B and 9A anything more than anime tsundere and please like me senpai/wholesome boy syndrome. Where's the amazing banter?
My one is RDR2. I could listen to Arthur Morgan chat with the camp/town folk all day.

I loved the dinner scenes in Grandia
These sprites still hold up brilliantly today.
This 100%. I loved the banter between Arthur and the rest of the gang. So many stories were told just hanging out at the camp or riding around the states. GTAV had some great banter too between the mains and Lamar.
There's the harmless banter that happens when you put that one joker character with anybody else, and then there's the awkward banter that you get when you have party members that straight up hate each other. There's a lot of the later in Neverwinter Nights 2.
I think they are referring to the original Nier, not Automata. The banter with Nier, Weiss, and Kaine was priceless.
Even better was how the in-game dialogue evolved, as she warmed up to the prince. So good
This has been Bioware's bread and butter for years. Their more recent titles may miss the mark, but they've always made RPGs with banter as a core focus, since way back in Baldur's Gate 2.
Aside from that, Divinity: Original Sin 2 has amazing banter. The writing and acting in the game is so superb that I was always excited to see what characters had to say.
And in adventure games, Unavowed (by Wadjet Eye). Party members banter to each other based on location, leading to a lot of cool insights into the characters and world of Unavowed. Only bummer is that you could miss it easily if you did the quick-move feature (double-clicking to immediately transition to a new screen, ending any passive banter being played).

definitely not days gone. deacon & boozer have absolutely no rapport whatsoever. i've played the game for over a dozen hours, & still have no friggin' idea what these 2 guys are doing together. in a 'biker bro' set-up like this, pretty much demanding it, there's just nothing there. maybe they met online? :) ...
This 1000%. Nier and Weiss, Weiss and Kaine, Nier and Kaine = so good! I can't remember Emil having as much banter as the other three.
Bioware games from ME1 onwards are also great at this in general, but I don't think anything beats DA2 for sheer density and quality of banter, even over DA:I.
Yeah, it made DA:I a really frustrating and lonely experience for both of my playthroughs on console. ME:A seemed to tie the banter to the Nomad, so it did trigger much more frequently - I think it was pretty rare I got banter outside of the Nomad. At least it was nice to have banter again!
I know what he said. I'm sticking with Kid Icarus. Feel free to disagree.
It's great... till you realize they recorded way too little of it for how long the game is. Even worse if you're fishing, where it's not uncommon to get the same lines played back multiple times in a single session. "Noct, it wouldn't hurt to show a little emotion."
I love the little things characters say to each other after battle in the Xenoblade games.
My favorite:
H.B.: Follow my example, Mia, and you'll go far.
Mia: Yes sir! Almost as far as that stick up your butt...

Dragon age and Mass Effect series re the best in this aspect. Even the character that I hate is enjoyable to listen to their banters.
I see this was a lot of people's answer, including mine.
I loved how Nier and Grimoire Weiss would wax philosophical after sidequests.
Touhou 8: Imperishable Night has some great banter between characters. Since you have to pick a team as your shot type, seeing the team mates interact between stages/bosses is awesome. My favorite is Alice/Marisa team because Alice constantly bickers with Marisa, even telling her to call Reimu a 'bitch'. It's also fun to read because they have a good sense of chemistry with each other. But this is all translated, so who knows.
I want to join the Kid Icarus love train here, but I can't pass up on Disney's greatest franchise they'll never actually use.
Whaaaaaaaaat? Origins alone have plenty of GOLD banters between, say. Morrigan and Alistair. Morrigan and Leliana. Shale with anyone else, Sten with Morrigan/Leliana/Alistair, Zevran with Wynne and Loghain, Ohgren, etc etc, both in camp and during exploration. So many good stuff in there.
Yep. It's a lot of fun just hearing the character interactions, and I often will not skip the first intro of a set just to let it play out.
Baldur's Gate And Baldur's Gate 2. Hell, some of your party members might even fight each other to the death.
