📋 About This Mod
~BANDIT LINES EXPANSION~
With this mod, bandits will now have more personality. By adding almost 500 new lines that are not shared between voice types, each encounter with a bandit will feel unique. It will be very noticeable when listening to their idle dialogues. Bandits might show a more humane side to them (or not). They might talk about betrayal, gold, missing their families, hating Skyrim, loving life as a bandit, being ashamed of being a bandit, jealousy, resentment, greed, addiction, infidelity, home, lustful encounters, what drove them to become a bandit, hunger, tragedies, having mouths to feed... and more!
As for combat, there are lots of hidden conditions and surprise lines. Bandits might react differently when aiming a bow or sneaking near their camps, they might comment on your weapon, your armor, the material of your weapon, your gold, your sex, your race, time of day of the encounter, the location, your level, they might react to you using shouts, also to you killing their allies mid-combat... and the list goes on!
This is all done in a tasteful manner where my hope is that 90% of the time you don't even realize the lines are coming from my mod. Without further delay, I give you... BANDIT LINES EXPANSION.

F E A T U R E S
1) Adds new lines to the most common enemy of all: Bandits. Cause we've all heard their lines a million times.
2) Doesn't remove any vanilla lines, it just adds new ones. Up to 75(!) new lines per voice type. (~500 total)
3) Lines are spliced from vanilla lines, no computer-generated lines, so they should sound quite natural.
4) It does not edit any vanilla files, so compatible with everything.
T Y P E S O F L I N E S
1) Variations of vanilla lines. Very similar to the lines we're used to, but with a twist or different tone.
Example: You picked a bad time to get lost, friend fool!
2) Brand new lines, often with conditions not used in vanilla.
Example: "Ah, there's no finer weapon than an orc blade. Fight well, and I'll make sure your corpse is not dishonored". (Female Orc Bandit commenting on the player's orc weapon in the middle of combat)
3) Idle lines that add more complexity/character to bandits. Including FEMALE bandit idle lines (female bandits in vanilla do NOT have any idle lines). These lines are sometimes funny, sometimes sad, be warned.
Example: "It's true. I've killed more than I care to admit. But I needed the gold. What else can a dunmer do out here?"
