Description

******

Wanting to fast track approval? Wish to counter disapproval without breaking your Warden's character or relying solely on gifts? Or simply want to have approval/disapproval drama? Keep companions still cannon-ish with this multifaceted dialogue and approval system mod. It does focus more on the romantic interest companions, but mostly due to the setup of the existing dialogue. Edits to the actual original dialogue tries to have minimal interference to minimize issues. Eventually, I hope this is used to replace the gift system besides the plot gifts, as a playstyle option.

Added, fixed and edited responses, as well as added conditional Personalities (in some cases to help restore extra dialogue without removing the standard dialogue), some responses cloned and split (or split and one edited) for conditional situations (in some cases to allow if certain followers are in party they gain or lose approval, but if not in party will use a default). Aimed for a more compassionate, bold and/or violent Warden. A more compassionate tangent dialogue for Alistair (mostly), Leliana and Wynne, and a more bold or violent tangent for Morrigan (mostly), Sten and Zevran. Also, includes less derp responses (like "What?! Who-- Wha--" ) and more attribute, skill or personality options/responses.

There is basically three types dialogue: companions' main dialogues (which at this time is only Alistair/Morrigan focused), plot/location dialogues (which at this time is only Alistair/Morrigan/Leliana/Zevran focused with custom results) and plot/location dialogues with a generic Personality Approval template with always the same approval results. There are some extras in the companion main dialogues as well so check out before you decide what to keep or delete.

Optional Files

************

You can only pick one, they will all be in the download; so you have to remove the ones you don't want. Can be standalone.

Equal Approval/Disapproval 

This optional file sets all approval values to the same values as disapproval but—of course—as positive numbers (1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20). For those who just like equal values and a slight approval bump.

Kneejerk Disapproval
