📋 About This Mod
Animated Greetings
Animated Greetings adds atmospheric greeting animations to NPCs. The animations are played when the player activates an NPC that doesn't have dialogue or when the NPC makes a greeting.
Many of the animations are tied to faction reputation. As reputation improves, NPCs will show their respect and gratitude to the player in their own way. Commoners will bow, NCR troops will salute, and Legionaries will put their fist up and may even kneel, etc. And since the animations are played automatically on many NPCs, the player can simply move around and watch NPCs react to them, adding to the another layer of depth and immersion to the reactiveness of the world and non-verbal storytelling.
A number of the animations are from the base game, but there are many brand new ones as well. Some of the new ones can be seen in the previews below.
