- Description -
Allows the player (AND NOW OTHER AI!) to have bastard children with ANY other hero (YES! Wanderers and notables in towns/villages as well!) in the game through dialog choice! This NEVER ties the player to marriage!
- Features -
- Look in MCM config for fine tuning your experience!
- Select "I was thinking that you and I..." when talking to a lady/lord/wanderer.
- If shown interest, select to take them riding with you! ( ;) )
- You CAN fail this by not passing a relations check, which can be turned off (essentially) in config.txt!
- Basic legitimization system (with GoT-like surnames!)
- AI can now also have bastard children with each other!
- Incompatibility -
Encyclopedia Extender will make the game crash upon trying to look up a bastard.
Some are reporting crashes with Family Tree, others are reporting just an uncomfortable overlap in features.
Yes. I do believe in Jon Snow supremacy.
If you have an idea for this or need to report a bug, I'm more than happy to hear it. Leave a post! I usually respond relatively quickly.

- No detailed documentation or feature list beyond the basic description.
- Potential for unexpected interactions with other mods that alter dialogue or family systems.
