📋 About This Mod
ALL NEW!
-
[]Conversation option cooldowns are based on NPC's extroversion and are no longer rigid.
[
]NPC responses are now more dynamic - interests, disinterests, relation with you, etc play a role in their response.[]Jokes and Stories are quasi-skills - the more you use them the better you are at them (modified by Social attribute).
[]The attraction model is now based on character looks instead of a random number - I basically took a few scientific studies and added variation based on personalities - I can only test so much, let me know if it's too punishing I may add a config.
[]Sneak Off is exactly what it sounds like - you will have an option on Birth and if a clanless child comes of age to claim them if you are the father.
[]I've added something like 1,500 lines of dialog, they are probably not all bangers - blow me up on discord if you think some of its wonky because I'd like everybody to love it before adding the next 1,000 lines I have drafted. If the translation file isn't accurate let me know - again, I added a lot of dialog.
This mod is a work in progress but I'm enjoying it - so I figured I'd share, hoping for more feedback.
What does this mod do?
Great question! It just gives you a dialog option that allows you to tell a story, brag, flirt, compliment, insult, jest, etc.
I highly recommend pairing with True Noble Opinion as well. (Honestly, without this mod, why bother?)

How does that work?
You get a bunch of chit chat options to use on NPCs, based on their personality and interest as well as their relation with you and your skills/attributes they will have a reaction from -2 to 2 (then modified by your Charm). High charm builds can probably cheese the game a bit, but honestly, 330 charm in vanilla isn't special - so now be that impossibly lovable character in game. (Also vanilla is pretty easy to cheese anyways).
Questions? Hit me up on Discord.
