📋 About This Mod
LDM - Context Matters
This mod is an attempt to fix one of the largest issues with Morrowind's dialogue: because the developers didn't have years to sit there and write dialogue to cover every possible scenario, there are places in the vanilla game where NPCs will talk about themselves in third person, casually incriminate themselves, swear by gods they don't believe in, or give replies completely unfitting for their status in life - uneducated paupers shouldn't give the same replies as savants!
Context Matters attempts to improve this situation by editing filters or adding new lines of dialogue more in keeping with the NPC's faith, class, race, faction, physical location, as well as quest completion status.
The mod is perfectly useable as is, but because of the scale of the game should be considered as-yet incomplete and very likely to be updated in the future as I find more jarring dialogue. As such, I will very happily take suggestions - contact me in the comments, in PM, or on Discord.
NEW IN 1. 4:
LDM - Ashlanders now included: Yakum Hairshashishi will no longer flip between normal speech and broken ashlander speech. Ashlander scouts will no longer talk as though they're not Ashlanders themselves. Nibani Maesa will now react to you having Corprus. Zainab miners now have some unique greetings.
Several minor tweaks to little advice, Pelagiad greetings, Gnisis greetings, my trade. Filter fix for specific place in Ebonheart. Some new Ashlander-style responses to disease topics for wise women. Added no-lore filters to vampire topics.
NEW IN 1. 3:
Edited versions of FMI - Ingredient Locations, FMI - Disease Descriptions, and FMI - Misc dialogue consistency changes have been merged in (gameplay and creature tweaks ARE NOT included). Thank you, PoodleSandwich!
Disease Descriptions - the most extensive changes in 1. 3. On top of FMI's consistency changes, which removed references to creatures which don't carry disease in vanilla, I have added more personality to disease descriptions. There are four NPCs who talk about diseases in vanilla; two are professional healers, one is a well-traveled pilgrim, and one is a former Ashlander wise woman who now lives in Vos. Their new lines reflect their differing training, perspectives, and personalities.
FEATURES INCLUDE:
Abolitionists - Plantation owners now have disapproving responses when asked about abolitionists. Originally from LDM - Abolitionists
Ashlanders - Now no longer curse vampires in the name of Almsivi. Wise Women now have extra dialogue about vampires. Ashlander scouts will no longer talk as though they're not Ashlanders.
Balmora - Extra class and faction based responses
