📋 About This Mod
Removed the Baldurian tag from specific Backgrounds. Now your Tavs are no longer required to be from the city, regardless of race!
All this does is use the Tag Framework to remove the Baldurian tag from any Tav you make have a specific Background. All it will affect is dialogue, your Tav won't get any dialogue tagged .
It is untested whether Tag Framework affects NPCs or not. I assume not. But let me know if one of your party members (not your played Tav/Origin) don't get the Baldurian tag when they should.
