📋 About This Mod
This is a small modification with one sole purpose; Disabling NPC impatience while in dialogue where they ask you to speak every 20 seconds as they are waiting for player input/your next dialogue choice.
Choose between 4 different version with the new FOMOD installer:
-
[] One year
[
] One hour[] One minute (per request by user 'hamper')
[] Constant pestering
The Why
-
[]Personally I get stressed out of having to listen to NPCs asking or telling me this and that while I'm preoccupied with figuring out what I'm going to say. Give me some space.
[
]The changes in this mod is by far the more immersive choice in my opinion.[]NPCs will feel less dumb, quite frankly.
Anything else I need to know?
There are no known incompatibilities at this time. Be mindful that an issue has been reported with the 1 year option but not reproduced, therefore the recommended option is 1 hour.

⚠️ Cons
