📋 About This Mod
This mod prevents the voice lines that talk about you being part of either the Thieves Guild or the Dark Brotherhood. Or technically it doesn't prevent them, but you have to be playing as a skeever for them to trigger. It affects these lines no matter who says them.
It was inspired by No Undetected Vampire and Werewolf Dialogue and goes perfectly together with it, and credit goes to Glomoro as I looked at that mod in order to know how to make this one. I highly recommend you get that mod as well. I also recommend Skill Comments Reconditioned to handle the comments that trigger based on your skills.
If you find any more lines that aren't covered by this mod (either for Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood, or that you think would fit in the optional file) let me know what the line is and who said it.
There are two versions to choose from, as well as an optional file. All files are marked as ESL and wont take up a spot in your load order:
Total Version
This will completely disable (a.k.a. add SkeeverRace requirement to) the following voice lines:
-
[]"The guards have been saying things about you... That you're the one that... Well... They say the Dark Brotherhood... Well. Never mind."
[
]"Wait, I know you. You went into the Emperor's Tower, just before... before his decoy was murdered..."[]"Hey! You're the one who killed Alain Dufont, up in Raldbthar. Oh yeah, word about that got around. Man was a piece of bandit trash, is what I hear."
[]"That old woman who runs the orphanage has been murdered. Say, didn't I see you coming out of there...?"
[]"I know who you are, assassin. I guess the rumors about your kind's "extinction" have been... exaggerated."
[]"It ain't true what they say about you and... and the Dark Brotherhood? Is it?"
[]"There are stories about you, and dark tidings in Dawnstar..."
[]"Try to hide it all you want. I know you're in the Thieves Guild... and so do the other guards."
[]"Psst. Hey, I know who you are. Hail Sithis."
[]"I know Thieves Guild armor when I see it. You're not fooling anyone."
[]"Hands to yourself, sneak thief."
[]"I find your hand in my pocket, I'm going to cut it off."
[]"I know your kind, always sneaking about."
[]"Go fiddling with any locks around here, we're going to have a real problem."

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 543 endorsements and nearly 19k downloads.
- Fixes a specific immersion-breaking line that many players find annoying.
- Simple, focused change—no bloat, just removes the unwanted dialogue.
⚠️ Cons
- Only addresses one line of dialogue; other guard comments may still break immersion.
- May conflict with other mods that alter guard dialogue or Dark Brotherhood questlines.
- Limited scope—if you're looking for broader dialogue overhauls, this won't cover them.
For Skyrim players who role-play as a stealthy assassin and hate it when guards magically know your secret. If you're tired of 'Hail Sithis' ruining your immersion, this is a quick fix. Skip if you want more comprehensive dialogue changes or don't mind the vanilla line.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with your mod manager of choice and place it early in your load order to avoid conflicts with other dialogue mods.
- If you use other mods that alter guard dialogue, test in a save where you've joined the Dark Brotherhood to ensure the line is gone.
- This mod is purely cosmetic—no need to start a new game, just load your existing save.
