No More Persuasion Hints

No More Persuasion Hints

Put your thinking caps on! You now have to actually think about what you are saying and whether it might work. No more relying on Bethesda's hand-holding dialogue markers—they are GONE!

🗣️ What This Mod Does

In the vanilla game, dialogue choices that can sway an NPC are explicitly marked with a parenthetical hint. This mod simply removes the "(Persuade)" tag from next to your dialogue choices.

This forces you to actually contemplate what you choose to say, bringing 100% more immersion to your conversations. You will have to rely on your own judgment and your character's Speech skill rather than a UI cheat sheet.

    ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    Does this mod remove Intimidation or Bribe hints?

    • []Not currently. This initial release specifically targets Persuasion prompts. If players show enough interest, expanding the mod to cover Intimidations is something I will consider for a future update.[/]

      Is this compatible with dialogue mods like RDO or Alternate Start?

      • []Yes, generally. However, if another mod completely rewrites or edits the exact same vanilla dialogue lines, they may overwrite each other depending on your load order. Place this mod lower if you want to ensure the hints stay hidden.[/]

        Does this cover quest mods or new land mods?

        • []No. It currently only covers base game vanilla lines. Mod-added dialogues from other creators will still show their original tags.[/]

          What should I do if I see a vanilla persuasion hint that wasn't removed?
