📋 About This Mod

This mod is partly inspired by the radiant conversations in Oblivion where NPCs talk about mudcrabs, what books they've read and other mundane things. Some of the lines from Oblivion are repeated word for word in this mod with other lines inspired by the conversations in Oblivion.

The idea was to breath new life into inns and taverns and add random conversations between NPCs. I've added 21 brand new, unique NPCs plus off-duty guards in the major cities, that visit the local inn in the evenings. The new NPCs will interact with each other and with selected vanilla NPCs who use default voice types.

    Scenes Overview

    Books Scene

    Similar to the radiant dialogue between NPCs in Oblivion, an NPC will approach another NPC and tell them what book they're reading or have just read, and the other will respond. Most of the lines are pulled straight from Oblivion but I've included a few new ones, as well as adapting some to fit Skyrim.

    Mudcrab Scene

    Again, NPCs added by the mod will approach one another and make a comment about mudcrabs, with a random reply from the other. Similar to the books scene, many of the lines are straight from Oblivion.

    Get A Drink Scene

    NPCs from the mod will approach the innkeeper and ask for a drink. Again, all the conversations are random with random responses from the innkeepers. Supports mod-added inns provided the mod author has added standard keywords and markers. There are special scenes for The Ragged Flagon.

    Hello Scene

    Selected vanilla NPC voice types will greet the new NPCs. The new NPCs will respond with either a generic comment, or they'll greet the vanilla NPC by name with dozens of vanilla NPCs included. Sometimes they'll say things that makes other nearby NPCs laugh. There is some quest awareness (especially in Dawnstar) and there are some unique conversations for some NPCs.

    Rumours Scene

    Selected vanilla voice types plus all the new voice types will approach a new NPC and ask if they've heard any rumours or gossip lately. All the responses are random, with a few surprises. Sometimes they won't have anything to say or just don't feel like talking.

    Tall Tales Scene

    On a similar note, the new NPCs will approach each other with a tall tale, a story that's probably made up, with suitable responses.

    Male Flirt Scene

    Selected male vanilla voice type NPCs will approach the female NPCs in the mod and offer to buy th
