📋 About This Mod
The pop-ups are randomly chosen from a list of generally relevant text entries based on:
Night/Day, Weather Conditions and Climate Zone (when outside, based on location type)
Dungeon Type and Monster Table (when in a dungeon)
They are intended to emulate and complement the original texts.
The original dungeon messages are found here. I also took inspiration for dungeon interiors from the monster tables here.

You can reread the messages that appear from the Dialog Notes button in the Notebook.
If you like those flavour text pop-ups when outside dungeons, then how would you like way more of them?
From a little over a hundred, only outside dungeons, to over a thousand and throughout the Iliac Bay!
When you are in any outdoor environment you'll get a range of immersive descriptors based on night or day, weather conditions and climate zone (Plus anything that still makes sense).
This also includes dungeon interiors, so roaming in dungeons will be even more immersive (hopefully).
This is kind of a 'less is more' mod, the occasional message filling some immersion gaps.
If you see anything immersion breaking, let me know.
This is made possible because of Hazelnut. He had the code ready to go, i filled out the text portion. Thanks to JayH for contributions as well.
