📋 About This Mod
Certain NPCs that used to only appear during their questlines now have a presence before them.
Should something happen to them during this time, you will have to deal with the consequences. Some may be minor, and some may result in entire questlines being broken!
Meaning if you kill an important person, don't be surprised if down the line you may be locked out of a questline, or getting yelled at by an NPC wondering why you had killed them!
Long story short - you will have to face the consequences of your actions!
For spoilers sake, there is a seperate document with all modified NPCs and their locations.
There is a TR add-on available.
If I missed an NPC, or if you have any other comments let me know.
Specifically let me know if you have any ideas on how to implement Heniele Milielle and Assimusa Samsi (the redoran women you can get in 3 different ways).
May be incompatible with certain town overhauls or major dialogue mods.
Currently incompatible with Saprius Entius Expanded
