Great Service
Rival Houses:
Members of rival houses will now recognise your rival allegiance. Hlaalu will call Redoran stiff and stuffy, while Redoran will call Hlaalu fickly and untrustworthy.
Your rank in a house will be noted, and rival houses will respond with greater respect as you climb in rank. Some Houses cough Telvanni cough slower than others.
Faction Leader Respect:
Guards and members of your own House will respond differently if you are master of that house and have over 50 disposition with them.
Legion and Re-Legion:
The Legion, Imperial Cult and The Temple all have some unique greetings - even if you are not one of them.
The Legion may praise the Emperor, while the Imperial Cult and Temple will invoke their Gods or religious sayings.
Many more voice idles are added to male Dunmer. Lots of these are simply the Tribunal idles, which other mods have already added.
However, there are many original idles added, some of them split across factions. The Camonna Tong may curse the emporer, while House Hlaalu will mutter of ore and profit.
There are also idles added to speak about the Blight while the MQ is active. These are updated to speak about the Neravarine when the MQ is complete and the blight is cleared.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,548 endorsements and 158k downloads—clearly a lot of players dig it.
- Over 200 new voice lines means you'll hear fresh chatter for a long time.
- Edited original voice files keep the audio feeling authentic, not jarring.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020—might not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Only adds voice entries, so if you're looking for new quests or mechanics, this isn't it.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an audio mod, make sure your game's audio settings are set to default to avoid any conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, install it like any other mod and let the manager handle file placement.
- Check if the mod requires the original game files to be unmodified—if you have other audio mods, test for conflicts.
