📋 About This Mod
This tiny mod changes a single line of dialogue from the quest 'Big Trouble In Big Town' if you fail to keep Red and Shorty alive, from something very rude ("Your friends are dead. Deal with it.") to something nice ("I couldn't save your friends, I tried. I'm sorry.") for non-evil players.
A small dialogue tweak for Red and Shorty's death notifications, replacing harsh lines with kinder alternatives. With 40 endorsements and 8,461 downloads, it's a niche quality-of-life mod for players who want a gentler tone in their game.

✅ Pros
- Tiny download size and simple install—just drop it in and go.
- Adds a touch of kindness to an otherwise grim moment, which is a nice touch for roleplayers.
- Decent download count (8,461) shows there's interest in this kind of tweak.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 40 endorsements—so it's a niche mod that hasn't been widely vetted.
- Last updated in April 2023—might not be compatible with the latest game patches.
