Harkon Diabologue Add-on - Volkihar Faction Revamp ESPFE (Dialogue Expansion)

First : Yes you can still kill Harkon as normal.  You will still get brand new greets and farewells and can lie to Harkon about Valerica being dead or alive.  IF you side with Dawnguard, you do get a fancy two handed weapon.  Volkihar players will as well. 

Harkon Unbound is a comprehensive narrative overhaul of the Volkihar faction that transforms Lord Harkon from a typical villain into a complex, ancient ruler burdened by prophecy and loss. The mod introduces over 2,000 lines of fully voiced dialogue, allowing the player to act as a "Numinous Paravant" - a variable capable of breaking the cycle of destiny. Through honesty and restraint, players can reshape family dynamics between Harkon, Serana, and Valerica, leading to new reconciliation scenes and a story where the "Tyranny of the Sun" is treated as a manipulable myth rather than an inevitability.

Beyond the story, the mod adds deep mechanical and lore-based features, including a custom follower framework that allows Harkon to become a traveling companion with unique banter. Players can explore extensive lore through new dialogue options and even influence the fate of the family by choosing truth over violence.  Did i mention that Harkon has over 600 lines of evolving greets and farewells?  He does!

I also added stealth-based idles to Harkon you can lisren to him talk to himself by sneaking around him.  They evolve over the progression of the Dawnguard.

Several brand new scenes between major characters like Gelebor and Serana, the mod creates a living faction where choices ripple through the narrative without altering the core Dawnguard files.

Was this what you planned?

I originally started to shoot for 500 lines but it kept growing as I need to fill in more and more gaps.  It went from being a diabologue to a complete personality overhaul.  I feel that will be welcome to those who have several hundreds and thousands of hours playing Skyrim and they needed a change of pace.  After all, Lydia was known for carrying our burdens.

This is a byproduct of collaboration.

Play this mod with an open mind. (It was a requirement until some folks said take it off)

What inspired the writing?

20+ years of DMing D&D especially Ravenloft has given me a lot of insight into the mentality of great villains such as Count Strahd, Lord Soth as well as entities like Asmodeus and Orcus.  You will see that in my writing.   As a kid, I grew up watching the old original Addams Family TV show as well as the Munsters.  Doing writing for this is a piece of cake.

If you are expecting me to make Harkon a nice
