📋 About This Mod
Description
These are small tweaks that change the vendor dialogue of Eorlund Gray-Mane and Civil War Quartermasters:
-
[] Eorlund Gray-Mane: This changes the line "Gods be praised." to "What do you need?" The original line, while iconic, made him feel too desperate in my opinion.
[
] Civil War Quartermaster: By default, when talking to the Imperial and Stormcloak Quartermasters, in their relevant camps, the vendor menu would open automatically. I made it more in line with other blacksmith and added in the line "What do you have for sale?"Q: Does installing/updating/uninstalling on an existing save work?
A: As far as I know, it should. However, it's good practice to keep a backup save prior to doing this, just in case.
Q: Is this compatible with <insert mod>?
A: I don't know by heart. You might need to check yourself.
Q: Will you make a patch for <insert mod>?
A: Only if it's a mod I use myself or plan on using, I have enough time and I actually like the idea. Otherwise, feel free to do it yourself. (see permissions)
Q: I have a suggestion to improve the mod. Can you do it?
A: Maybe, if I have time and I like the idea, I'll consider it.
Q: Will you port this to <insert platform>?
A: No, I myself only support the Steam and GOG English SE and AE versions of Skyrim. If someone else wants to port it, feel free. (see permission) If you decide to port it, you yourself take full responsibility to offer support to said port. I will not provide no support for any ports by third parties.
Q: I use a ported version of this mod on <insert platform> and I have a problem. Can you help?
A: I don't provide any support for third party ports on other platforms than the Steam and GOG English SE and AE versions of Skyrim. If you have issues, you should adress the person that ported it.
Q: Does this work on Skyrim 1. 6+, aka "Anniversary Edition"?
A: Yes, it should.
Q: Why don't your mods use MCMs and instead use this janky console command system to set globals?
A: I am not a fan of MCMs. You can set the globals by making a patch in xEdit. I have no plans of changing this. If you want to add an MCM, feel free. (see permissions)
Q: Why don't you use FOMODs?
A: That would require reuploading the entire mod, in question, even if I only make a small change. My internet is limited and reuploading the files each time will take a huge chunk of my monthly volume.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 598 endorsements and nearly a million downloads—clearly fills a need.
- Tiny mod that does exactly what it says: fixes dialogue without touching anything else.
- Last updated in 2023, so it's recent enough to likely work with current Skyrim versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects two NPC types—if you wanted broader dialogue changes, this won't cover them.
- No clear indication of which dialogue lines are changed, so you might not notice the difference unless you visit those vendors often.
For Skyrim players who are tired of hearing the same old vendor lines and want a quick, low-risk immersion boost. Also great for roleplayers who interact with Eorlund or quartermasters frequently. Skip if you're looking for major dialogue overhauls—this is a micro-tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple plugin, just drop the .esp into your Data folder and enable it in your mod manager or launcher.
- If you use other dialogue mods, load this one after them to ensure its changes take priority.
- Test by talking to Eorlund in Whiterun or any Civil War quartermaster—if the lines sound different, it's working.
