📋 About This Mod

Smalltalk Created by Kaeser Update: Changed to allow dialogue with Honest Hearts NPC\'s. CONTENTS: 1. Description 2. Requirements 3. Install/Uninstall 1. Description This mod allows you to engage in conversation with any NPC you may come across in the Mojave including NCR, gambles, citizens, legion, fiends, raiders, powder gangers, super mutants, nightkins, securitrons, dogs etc. There are a few minor exception to this, cases like children and some animals, which I consider should be kept away as much as possible from the extreme violence indulged in this game… lol… Do not forget that to be able to engage in conversation with enemy NPC’s you may need to dress with their factions outfits. To make this mod I had to change some NPC dialogs. I tried as much as I could not to change any quest related dialogs to make this as bug free as possible, in any case if you came across any errors please report them here. On the other hand only the vanilla dialogs where changed, which means that only vanilla NPC’s and mod NPC’s that use vanilla dialogs are affected, this includes for instance NPC’s from the IWS mod. If you find any vanilla NPC which you cannot establish a dialog with, please take it name or id and report it in here. If on the other hand you came across a NPC that misses a goodbye option, take also the name or id and report it here as well, you may need to go into console mode and type closeallmenus to leave the conversation in that case. 2. Requirements Fallout NV Master File Fallout NV Mod Manager http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36901 You may eventually need Archive Invalidation Invalidated as I did not test this mod without it. http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37004 3. Install/Uninstall 1. Download the file to a folder on your PC. 2. Open the file and copy all it content to the Data folder located in your Fallout New Vegas folder directory and confirm the merge of all folders. 3. Activate the mod by checking it in the mod list seen in Fallout New Vegas Mod Manager. 4. To uninstall simply delete the ESP file. You’re free to use, change and share this mod as you like, within nexus that is, and respecting Bethesda property of course, just mention my name. If you got any good suggestions drop them here and I’ll do the best within my reach in moding capabilities and time wise to get them included. Have fun…
