📋 About This Mod
Introduction
This mod is a collection of several edits to rename many items, NPCs, etc, in order to increase immersion. This mod uses Dynamic String Distributor (DSD) to avoid making any direct edits to NPCs or objects, ensuring better compatibility.
Consistent Nord Names
Introduction
Using this video by PatricianTV as a resource, I discovered the following:
Across multiple TES games, Nord names tend to follow the following patterns:
-
[]Mononyms (just one name), used by clanless commoners: "Harold", "Olaf", "Hroggar".[/]
[]Titles: "the Bold", "the Crow", "the Outlaw", "the Harrier".[/]
[]Clan names, which should always be two hyphonated words: "Hard-Heart", "Flat-Foot", "Fire-Eye", "Fork-Beard", "Blue-Tooth", "Elf-Hewer".[/]
However, many Nord names in Skyrim did not follow these rules. As such, I adressed those.
