Lydia Expansion Synergy

Requires Follower Dialogue Expansion - Lydia and Yet Another Lydia Dialogue Expansion!

This is a small patch to make these two amazing dialogue expansions just a bit more cohesive, much like my Brelyna Expansion Synergy and Illia Expansion Synergy.

This one is of a much smaller scale, merely serving to address narrative conflict, as YALDE is intentionally lightweight - but I still think it's very much worth using.

While the mods can technically work together as-is, FDE and YALDE both have their own distinct interpretations of Lydia's past - in FDE, she was a mercenary before joining Balgruuf's service relatively recently, whereas in YALDE, she had spent nearly her whole life in his service.

Because these interpretations are so distinct, there's a narrative conflict, and I had to choose one to favor while removing some dialogue from the other. I chose to favor FDE's backstory for Lydia given that FDE has significantly more dialogue and is more likely than YALDE to receive more dialogue in the future.

FDE's interpretation of her past is far more ingrained into the rest of her dialogue in that mod, whereas the few lines about her past in YALDE can fairly easily be ignored while leaving the rest of her dialogue intact. Ultimately, if you're going to use both mods, FDE's backstory really must be favored. If you prefer YALDE's backstory, I would recommend using only YALDE.

Flagged as ESL.

I'll keep this updated as necessary with any updates that may come to either mod.
