This patch merges dialogue changes from Hunters Not Bandits and Guard Dialogue Overhaul Redux, altering 4 dialogue entries to reduce smalltalk with corpses and impolite smalltalk with the player. The author notes it may be unnecessary with the newest versions of Hunters Not Bandits. It's a small, niche compatibility patch for Skyrim modders using both mods.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-trusted with 233 endorsements and over 13k downloads.
- Tiny patch that does exactly one job: merges dialogue tweaks so both mods play nice.
- Load order is spelled out in the description, so no guesswork for setup.
⚠️ Cons
- Author says it's probably not needed with the newest Hunters Not Bandits, so it might be obsolete.
- Only touches 4 dialogue entries, so if you want broader dialogue changes, this isn't it.
- Compatibility risk: if you update either base mod beyond the listed versions, the patch may break or be redundant.
For Skyrim players who run both Hunters Not Bandits and Guard Dialogue Overhaul Redux and want to clean up dialogue inconsistencies. If you're not using both mods, skip it. Also skip if you're on the latest Hunters Not Bandits since the author hints it's unnecessary.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the patch last in your load order, after both base mods, to ensure the dialogue edits apply.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the load order but double-check the patch is after the other two ESPs.
- Since the author says it might not be needed with newer versions, test in-game by talking to guards and looting corpses to see if the changes are already present.
