Bob's TexTweaks

PLUGINS

Dialogue: Edits some generic dialogue to flow better and more naturally, with less rambling monotony for spell topics and more detail for creature topics. Ongoing project.

Interface & Commentary: Rewritten descriptions for skills and magic, tweaked descriptions for race and class, redone message prompts as first-person character commentary, and small tweaks like changing Fatigue to Stamina, Reputation to Fame, and Admire to Fraternize.

Interface & Commentary - OpenMW Patch: Removes the bugged %PCName command from a GMST barter message. Instead of "Thank you, %PCName. Please come again," it now reads "Thank you for your business. Please come again." Load after the above Interface & Commentary plugin.

Magic & Skill Names: Renamed some skills and magic effects for personal preference.

Symptom-Based Sickness: Replaces all contracted disease names (except Corprus and werewolf hunger) with actual symptoms, and no distinction between disease types. I recommend using it alongside Gavrilo93's No More Dr. Nerevarine (with my mod loading last).

*Object Names: Coming soon/eventually.

A list of all changes is included in the file's text documents.

Persuasion Rationale

Admire = Fraternize

Because I always found it completely nonsensical how positive human interaction is boiled down to simply showering the recipient with compliments. Making smalltalk and getting to know someone as a person is how you make friends.

Intimidate = Unchanged, aside from a prefixed space for CS sorting.

Taunt = Ridicule

Mostly to elongate the wording to match Intimidate and Fraternize. Also, ridicule has a more subtle and subversive implication compared to the louder and more obvious act of taunting. If you want to truly hurt someone, you have to put on a friendly face and lower their defenses.

Admire Fail/Success = Banter Rebuked/Appreciated

Intimidate Fail/Success = Threat Ignored/Heeded

Taunt Fail/Success = Insult Ignored/Taken

Less boring and copy-pasted terminology.

Skill Name Rationale

"Your skill in Blocking" sounds better than "Your skill in Block." Same idea for the others, and I simply dislike verbs as skill titles.

Hand-to-hand = Hand-To-Hand

Proper capitalization of a hyphenated title.
