Hug Dialogues
The mod adds appreciation dialogues to several NPC classes in the game. When used, the NPCs will reply with various voiced lines and an animation of your choice.
As of 2. 0. 0, the mod has a selection on 2 hugging animations, and one saluting animation.
Some NPCs will reply environment-aware, with lots of variance in their lines, most NPCs have 4-5 randomized lines, and some not common NPCs have just one line.
NPC classes:
- Follower: The condition for followers is just that, well, they have to be your follower. You roleplay it however you want, you hug them from whatever point in the game you want, from whenever you see fit.
- Animal followers: Mostly dogs from Dawnguard and other mods. The mod provides a vanilla petting animation, but there are other options as well.
- Spouse: Any NPC with a "lover (4)" relationship rank is considered as a spouse/lover for the mod, and the spouse dialogues with optionally more romantic animations will apply.
- Adopted child: your adopted children also have their own dialogues.
What NPCs are supported?
The mod will work for any follower, any spouse, and all of your adopted children. If the NPC has a vanilla voicetype, their response will be voiced. This includes NPC's that are not normally followers or spouses! So if you use other mods, that turn a certain vanilla NPC into a follower or makes them marryable, this mod has got you covered! - They will have voiced responses for you. This includes but is not limited to for example: Karliah, Vex, Valerica, Astrid, Isran, Brynjolf....
So what about modded NCPs who have custom voicetypes?
Popular followers get native voiced support. These are automatic scripted patches - no patch esp etc. All you have to do is have both the follower mod and my mod installed, and the NPC will have fully voiced responses to all my mods features. The current list of voiced patches:
