📋 About This Mod
Does it bother you when NPC's say random things to you that you don't really care about? Ever wanted to tell Moe Cronin that he's a nutjob? Ever wanted to tell Preston to buzz off? Or perhaps you always felt the need to swear randomly? Now you can by pressing X and tell people your piece of mind!
Based on CDante's “Press X to Shaun” mod, this allows you to respond to NPC's by pressing X. Featuring 142 (custom) voicelines for both male and female players, each of these will play randomly so you can swear and insult people as much as you like!
Features:
- []142 (custom) voicelines for both male and female players []Configurable hotkey. You can change the hotkey in “PressXtoRespondHotkeys.ini” under \Fallout 4\Data
X=cgf "pxts_dialoguequest. Respond"
FO4hotkeys supports assigning a hotkey to a controller. Check this link below to see a list of keybindings. http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/edit/?id=24932
Incompatibilities:
Any mod that changes the player's voice.
Changelog:
V1. 3 - Adds 22 additional voicelines
V1. 2 - Now available with lip-sync!
V1. 1 - Removed grumpy expression from player when commenting
V1. 0
- Initial release
How to install: Use a mod-manager like Nexus Mod Manager OR Extract the contents of the .zip file to your Fallout 4 data folder and enable PressXtoRespond.esp through a mod manager or enable it manually.
Issues: – Replaces the PC saying stuff like "excellent" or "sweet" when picking up collectibles. I've looked into it but I can't figure out what's causing this, since no voicelines have been replaced; they were only added.
