Immersive Editions
I made this for myself and thought I'd share it after reading some of the comments on Reforging's page. Some users suggested deleting the relevant record from the mod's plugin to get rid of the messages entirely. The better solution for me was to simply alter the text to be more palatable for users who prefer immersive messages. Plus, those messages include many tips and clues that aren't transcribed anywhere else in-game, so by just deleting them, users would be more likely to miss out on weapons that can only be forged under certain circumstances or found in specific locations.
There's not much else to explain. I outlined the essence of my changes with some examples below.
Changes:
- Removed the parenthetical nametag at the end of every message.
Before:
Akaviri weapons are very rare in Skyrim.

- Fixed a few spelling and grammar issues.
Before:
Take it to the Skyforrge to restore the mighty weapon.After:Perhaps the Skyforge can restore its former glory.
