📋 About This Mod

Makes corpses that have something to say highlight even after resting, removes the 5-question limit, makes corpses speak with their killer, or allows you to speak with burnt corpses.

The Rework:

The main file, the rework, changes how SwD (Speak with Dead) works.

In the base game, Speak with Dead is used on a corpse to speak with it immediately and gives you an invisible status which highlights "interesting" corpses and allows you to use Recast SwD for free. This status disappears on respec or long rest.

With the rework, Speak with Dead is now cast on yourself (self-only) and the status persists through respec and long rest (i.e. the status is now permanent, so you'll get permanent corpse highlighting after casting SwD once.) The behavior of Recast SwD is unchanged. So you'll only ever need to cast SwD once per character, and you'll always use Recast Speak with Dead after that.

The "regular" SwD will not be removed from your character, just in case something happens and you need to be able to give yourself Recast SwD again.

Both versions of the rework require BG3 Mod Fixer.

AGAIN, THIS CHANGES "SPEAK WITH DEAD" TO A SELF-CAST.

You will use "Recast Speak with Dead" to speak with corpses, which is given when casting Speak with Dead ON YOURSELF.

If you can't find it after casting SwD, check your spellbook (bound to "K" by default.)

Obviously, this will be incompatible with any mods that make new spells which inherit from the vanilla Speak with Dead.

So if you have another mod that provides a Speak with Dead spell and you plan on using it, DO NOT USE THE REWORK.

The Tweaks / optional files:

There are two optional files: SwD Tweaks and SwDC (Speak with Damaged Corpses.)

Speak with Dead Tweaks:

There are two tweaks - unlimited questions and making corpses speak to their killers.

The tweaks are now combined into a single file, and can be individually toggled, with instructions further down.

NOTE: Ignore Killer works retroactively, corpses you killed before installing it will forgive and forget.

SwD Tweaks requires BG3 Mod Fixer and BG3 Script Extender.

The tweaks are completely standalone - they will work with or without the main files or with any other mod that changes Speak with Dead.

Speak with Damaged Corpses:

SwDC allows you to speak with corpses that died to burning, poison, Disintegrate, etc.

Version 1. 0. 0 (called Speak with Burnt Corpses) allows you to speak to burnt corpses without highlighting them.

Version 1. 1. 1 onwards highlights interesting corpses with the standard blue-green glow in addition to allowing you to speak to them.

Requires BG3 Mod Fixer.
