📋 About This Mod

Description

This mod has been merged in Andrealphus Scene Tweaks.

During the Dark Brotherhood's introduction scene, where Babette tells the story of how she killed someone, the whole brotherhood bursts out laughing in this terribly forced, awkward and somewhat cringe-worthy way.

In a similar way, there's another laugh in the cut scene, near the Whiterun stables, where Uthgerd informs Skulvar Sable-Hilt about Cicero. The latter is cut content, however certain mods might restore it. (such as Cutting Room Floor, but there might be others.) This tweak does not directly require or depend on mods that restore that content, but it does need those mods to have the scene appear.

As it got old quite fast for me, I decided to just condition out the lines, so they will no longer be used.

Aftwards, some other people requested me to release it, so here it is.

Dark Brotherhood introduction:

  • [] Arnbjorn: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

    [] Veezara: "Ha ha ha ha! Again! Again! Do the part where he tries to buy you some candy."

    [] Babette: "Okay, okay. Wait. Here we go. "Ooh, you are such a pretty little girl. Would the sweetie like a sweetie? Oh yes, how about some chocolate?" Oh yes, please, kind sir. My mama and papa left me all alone, and I'm so very hungry. I know a shortcut to the candy shop. Through this alley. Oh ya, very good. Very good. My it is dark down here. Oh, but you are so beautiful. Such a lovely smile. Your teeth... your teeth! No! Aggghh!!"

    [] Gabriella: "Oh Babette, but you are so wicked."

    [] Nazir: "What about you, Festus? How did that last contract turn out?"

    [] Arnbjorn: "Oh, yes, please, old man. Regale us with your tales of wizardry..."

    [] Festus Krex: "Ah, the young and stupid. Always mocking the experienced and brilliant. My contract went very well, I'll have you know. Tried a new spell. Little something I've been working on in my spare time. Came "this" close to turning that priest inside out. Damned messy."

    [] Gabriella: "And what of your latest, Arnbjorn. Something about a Khajiit? Merchant was it?"

    [] Babette: "Oh, a big doggy chasing a little kitty! How adorable!"

    [] Nazir: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

    [] Festus: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

    [] Veezara: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

  • Arnbjorn: "I am not adorable, it was not funny, and he wasn't a merchant. He was a Khajiit monk, a master of the Whispering Fang style. But now he's dead... and I have a new loincloth."
