📋 About This Mod
I don't know if anyone will use it xD but I made it for my dumb self so I might as well put it here too.
If you forget to sleep when you reach the Shadow Lands, go to Moonrise and meet Ketheric, you lose the chance to hug the dream guardian when you meet them in your dreams because they start talking about Ketheric instead.
I always forget this (mostly because I follow Kar'niss with the lantern and just get to Moonrise in one go, or I rush to make sure Minthara is there and I didn't f her recruitment up...) and remember when it's too late that you really only get a tiny little time frame to have this scene pop up.
If you're like me, this file readjusts the dialogue in the Astral plane in a slightly different order so the passive roll to notice the guardian is tired always comes up, and if you pass the rolls you can then choose to hug them, ('cause you know who deserves hugs like anybody else u_u ) for your personal choice or RP reasons.
Special behaviour: DG talks about your achievements and you get the roll to hug them
Normal behaviour if you already met Ketheric: DG talks about the Absolute and you don't get the rol
With this fix: DG talks about the Absolute, then talks about your achievements and you get the roll
The scene briefly flashes white after the first sentence, since it rolls back to the beginning of the other working scene. I tried to edit the material or the fade in but it didn't remove the white, so I just left it there, it's not important - I just pretend it's some flash of light in the Astral Plane or whatever :P
