📋 About This Mod
Version 1. 1. 2 is the working one, apologies for uploading an unfinished version. Also has a bug fixed!
This mod allows you to hear comments (or "party barks") from all your companions in your party, when you enter a new area. Usually you would only hear one random, now you can hear all 3 available!
Thanks to BlickJustice for his help on figuring out how to make this consistent. Check out his mod Blick's Party Barks for similar one for the main campaign!
It is very similar to one introduced originally in Improved Atmosphere for main campaign. Thanks for SpaceAlex for the inspiration!
Do note that not every comment companions make are considered party barks used by this mod. Generally this mod allows you to hear more comments on areas that companions make, like in Mother's Lair or Vigil's Keep Dungeons as seen in images. Not commenting on events like seeing new Children appearing, for that, my Awakening - More Party Comments exists.
Installation:
Put it in override. Don't like it? Just remove it.

⚠️ Cons

- If you use other dialogue mods, check load order to avoid conflicts.
