📋 About This Mod
This is a very small mod that makes fixes to a few of the conversations in Dragonsreach. It is flagged as an .esl so it won't take up a precious plugin slot. All fixes from the USSEP have been carried over (from v4. 2. 5b at the time of this writing).
1) When you bring the news of the dragon attack on Helgen to Jarl Balgruuf, Proventus is there. He is positioned so that he is almost turned away from Balgruuf, and every time he tries to look at someone it makes my neck hurt. I have adjusted his position slightly, so now he is facing his jarl (and he seems a more interactive part in the conversation).
2) During the scene where Balgruuf introduces you to Farengar, when you end your conversation with Farengar, he says something rather out of place. (For me, it has always been a line like "If you have the aptitude, you should join the Mages College".) With this mod, when you end the conversation, he just says a generic goodbye. (All of the possible lines he could say here are still available, but now you won't hear them for a while.)
3) At the end of the same scene, Balgruuf and Farengar both say something at the same time. This mod fixes it so that that doesn't happen.
4) When you return to Dragonsreach with the item from Bleak Falls Barrow, you may witness a conversation between Farengar and his source. I have fixed it so that Farengar now stands across the table from the other person rather than behind that person. A couple of other changes were made so that the scene now plays more smoothly.
5) New voice files have been added to fix a couple of items pointed out in the posts. Balgruuf now refers to the dragon project as simply "project", so Farengar's lines make sense, and Farengar's mispronunciation of "dragon" in one line has been fixed.
This mod will conflict with anything that edits the same records.
Special thanks to Exarielle for providing the new voice files!
