Guard Dialogue Overhaul SE

I believe that if you are making the only official port of someone else's popular mod, you gotta stay true to its design philosophy. If you wanna change its direction, you make that as an alternate version together with a normal one. So here's a faithful, community-driven version. It has fixes for USSEP, CRF and Survival Mode, expanded coverage, optimized conditions and item detection, and optional features that you can read about below. The "guards keep following me" bug is fixed, and the "curved swords" line is restricted so that people stop talking about them once the relevant quest is completed, by popular request, but you can keep it enabled with a command. The mod's global values have been included in the SPIKE system so other mods can reference them freely. Remember that GDO has the injected SPIKE compatibility system for a reason, it's used by WACCF and my own mod AA, so you're only supposed to load GDO before WACCF to get compatibility. It's opted-in to receive Donation Points, 100% of which went to the original author, Eckss, but due to prolonged inactivity I'm now donating them to charity. Fellow GDO fan, you are as entitled to decide what happens to this classic as the rest of us. Please enjoy!

More Dialogue, More Realism, More Respect. This mod alters the Guard Dialogue, changing it from something that breaks your immersion in the world of Skyrim to something that actually increases it. All in the original voices and fully compliant with Skyrim Lore.

GDO fixes All the Skyrim Guards dialogue bugs and does much, much more.

GDO alters the effect that Skyrim Guard dialogue has on the mood of your game. Rather than annoying you, guards will enhance your experience of the game and increase your immersion in the world of Skyrim by properly recognising your actions and not making disrespectful comments to a character that they are supposed to respect.

GDO does not remove any comments from the guards’ vocabulary; they will still be just as rude and mocking to you at the start of the game as they always have. However, once your character has completed quests that earn the guards’ respect, their attitudes will begin to change, getting better and better to the point that, once your character is a legend in Skyrim, they will be respectful, grateful and sometimes even nervous in your presence.

GDO unlocks much guard dialogue that was never or only very rarely used due to overly restrictive conditions in the game. This is not a bug, but rather a design choice made by the Bethesda developers that I disagree with. This means that there will be much more variety in what the guards will say than you will be used to from before GDO. Many people will never have heard some of the comments before, and others will only have heard them very rarely in limited circumstances.[/siz
