OpenMW NPC Personality - (Dynamic gestures - Faction Reactions)

NPC Personality (NEW ERRAND SYSTEM UPDATE)

0. 3. 1: big performance update Credit DubiousNPC

The mod now does about 28 times less work in big cities like Narsis and far less everywhere else, with the same gestures and reactions. Far away NPCs animation poolset sleep until you get close. If you skipped this mod because of performance, give it another try.

side note - errands have temp removed to focus on core performance

2. 6 18 New Animations!!! Biggest addition yet all thanks to DubiousNPC make sure to show them some love!

- People below you in an organised faction now show it. When they look at you, or you walk past, a lower rank in your House, the Temple, the Imperial Cult, the Legion, the navy, the Ordinators, or the Royal Guard bows or salutes.

- The further above them you are, the more often they do it. A Hlaalu councilman passing a city guard gets a bow almost every time. A smaller gap still bows, mixed in with their normal fidgets. Same rank, or someone above you, just carries on as usual.

- Hlaalu, Indoril, and Redoran use a court bow. The Temple and the Imperial Cult put their palms together. The Legion, the navy, the Ordinators, and the Royal Guard salute.

Experimental releases. NPCs react to you and each other based on who they are and how they feel about you. Visual gestures only, nothing that touches gameplay. Everything is toggleable feature list below

Who they are

Every NPC gets a type based on their race, class and faction, guards, warriors, priests, mages, thieves, nobles, shopkeepers, street folk, slaves, the Great Houses, and regular civilians. Who they are decides what gestures they have. How they feel about you decides which ones they pick. People below you in an organised faction now show it. When they look at you, or you walk past, a lower rank in your House, the Temple, the Imperial Cult, the Legion, the navy, the Ordinators, or the Royal Guard bows or salutes.

New Performance Toggle - only enable on if bad performance auto/off adjusts dynamically 

Audio Gestures are starting to be added

Ambient fidgets People scratch, scoff, glance, or wipe their face as they go about their day. Not aimed at you, one at a time, and a look or walk by cuts it off.

Rain reactions Some fidgets become a face wipe in rain or thunder. Every so often someone raises a hand to shield themselves for a few seconds. Separate toggles for each.

Resting poses Longer idles, still not aimed at you. Slaves can settle into a hunched, worn down look. Street folk and warriors take on an overheated, been outside all day look. You catch someone holding it, they are not answering you with it.

Glancing and turning NPCs ease around toward someone nearby they can actually see, so a room is not a row of statues. No look around animation, they just change facing over whatever they are already doing. Each person has their own timing so a whole street does not turn at once. Walkers are left alone so they stay on their route. They only look w
