- -==( Summary )==--
- Simple mod that changes messages and text in general to appear as if the player is saying or thinking it. Some of it is re-written for a more flavorful presentation. Please view the example image for a very small example of the changes within.
- This is (theoretically) the first in a long, but small suite of mini-mods titled \"Second Shot Morrowind\". However, in the event that I\'m unable to continue the series, I have decided to release them one at a time, and working on them until they are 99% bug free before moving on.
- -==( Goals )==--
- 1. That all text that can be changed, is reworked to reflect a first person perspective, \"Role Playing\" feel, and accurate (though lore-friendly) detail in any and all appropriate cases.
- 2. That any important text shown to the player, such as confirming deletion of a saved game or important player decisions where knowledge of specific, \"non-immersive\" scores and statistical numbers are involved, are still changed to further Goal #1, but sub-noting these selections to allow the player to still know exactly what he\'s doing.
- 3. Finally, that all changes made are as lore-friendly as can be managed, or at least do not worsen what was present originally.
