📋 About This Mod
Mantella File depot (formally known as Mantella Dialogue Item)
231210: As of Mantella v. 0. 10. 1 some of these files are being incorporated. I will be moving the ones that are to the OldFiles section for posterity. However I will continue posting any new mods that are not implemented to this page.
"What is Mantella?" You ask. Well, It allows you to converse using Artificial Intelligence with any NPC in Skyrim which use a vanilla voice and with some extra work, even custom voices.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-trusted with 114 endorsements and over 11k downloads.
- Enables free, offline AI dialogue with uncensored LLM options for immersive roleplay.
- Adds command-based actions to make NPCs follow, approach, or sit, enhancing interaction depth.
⚠️ Cons
- Setup is complex: requires copying files to the Mantella exe folder and running a separate executable to configure settings.
- Some files are being merged into Mantella, so this depot may become less relevant over time.
