Dorn, Neera, and Rasaad are programmed to return to different locations if dismissed. (Dorn and Neera to the FAI, and Rasaad to Nashkel where you first met him). There's been talk of a possible mod that would send the old pre-EE NPCs to the FAI as well
The FAI can get crowded fast though, and it doesn't make much sense for some characters to go there imo (they are found far away from it, or maybe don't like people, etc.). I always thought it would have been cool to send them to places that made the most sense for them, if dismissed... maybe add a dialog piece saying where they could be found.
Here's some senseless daydreaming concerning where NPCs would eventually end up and hang around if let go. What are your ideas on where in the world they would end up?
Imoen - Friendly Arm Inn
Khalid - Friendly Arm Inn (or maybe Nashkel Inn)
Jaheira - Friendly Arm Inn (or maybe Nashkel Inn)
Xzar - Nashkel Inn (by door)
Montaron - Nashkel Inn (by door)
Xan - Nashkel Inn (one of the currently empty rooms)
Kagain - Returns to His Shop in Beregost
Dorn - A secluded corner within the Belching Dragon Tavern in Nashkel makes more sense to me personally than the FAI
Neera - Instead of the FAI, I may instead have picked an Inn in Beregost, such as the Burning Wizard - Its nearby to where she is found and seems *more* than appropriate, given her background! LOL
Garrick - The Jovial Juggler Inn in Beregost
Rasaad - Returns to where you find him outside the Nashkel General Store
Tiax - Jopalin's Tavern in BG (or another area in the city close to where you found him)
Quayle - Returns to Wyrm's Crossing (where you found him)
Viconia - NE corner of Friendly Arm Inn map (Not one to frequent inns or taverns, given she's a drow).
Edwin - If dismissed before completing his quest to kill Dynaheir, he leaves forever. After that, one idea is AREA3000 (SW Corner of Map) somewhat nearby to where other Red Wizards are meeting.
Ajantis - Temple of Helm in Nashkel makes sense. If too far, he could easily end up somewhere else closer to where he's found.
Faldorn - Returns to the Cloak Wood where you first met her
Kivan - W side of Beregost near very edge of map (Another one not to frequent inns or taverns).
Minsc - Belching Dragon Tavern in Nashkel
Dynaheir - With Minsc (Belching Dragon Tavern in Nashkel)
Alora - The Lady's House in BG
Coran - The bridge in the Cloakwood where you found him is one idea, since he likes to hunt Wyverns. The Song of the Morning Temple in Beregost is another idea, since that's where you can turn them in for a bounty.
Shar-Teel - Probably a secluded area like where you first found her. She tends to not like the company of others, and hates men. Alternatively, somewhere like the Red Sheaf Inn in Beregost (shady place) could work.
Yeslick - Maybe outside of the Cloakwood Mines entrance, as he stays back to help the slaves that were freed... not sure on this one.
Branwen - Maybe the Nashkel Inn (empty room)
Eldoth - Maybe it makes sense to find him again later in the Helm and Cloak Tavern in BG
Skie - The Helm and Cloak Tavern in BG (with Eldoth)
Safana - Maybe Feldepost's Inn in Beregost?
