Companion Initiating Dialogue Patch

When your player character moves near certain companions they will initiate a dialogue unprompted, this mod corrects that annoying bug.

This mod removes the annoying "Are you ready to travel... Hey Buddy... Would you like me to go with you?" spam that starts a dialogue that requires player interaction only.

All the original functionality is still there, it simply requires the player to initiate the interaction rather than the companion doing so.

This mod corrects the bug on the following companions:

Automatron Created Robot Companions

Drinking Buddy

INSTALLATION

Requires Automatron, Far Harbor, and NukaWorld DLCs.

Install using your favorite Mod Manager.

This mod alters a "Flag" within multiple Quest Dialogue entries, No Scripts or Form IDs are altered so this should be a quite safe mod in general.

Other mods that alter these same entries might conflict, but creating a simple merge patch or using this mod as a template would be quite simple to do.

As this mod alters existing quest dialogue entries I would not recommend uninstalling this mod from a save, but you would probably get away with it. That's on you. Mind your load order.

The main file is an ESP, the optional file is an ESL flagged version. They are identical except for the ESL flag. Only use one, never both.

HOW IT WORKS

For the other companions that do not spam-initiate dialogue, there is a "Requires Player Activation" flag in the "Dialogue Topic" section of their quest entries.  This mod simply adds that flag to the "Greetings" entry of the Companions that were missing it.
