    - "Talkative Dragon Priests" adds 32 new immersive lines of custom dialogue to these powerful undead enemies, making your battles against them more epic, unique and frightening. All Dragon Priests have now several custom lines of dialogue for all possible battle situations, such as taunts, death, losing sight of the enemy, exiting the sarcophagus, and much more. And although most of the lines are shared by all Dragon Priests, most unique named Dragon Priests have specific lines for each one upon awakening from the sarcophagus;

    (check all the new 32 lines on the videos above)

    - The exceptions are Hevnorak, Morokei and Nahkriin, as in the vanilla game they are the only Dragon Priests with introductory pre-combat dialogue. Even so, these 3 also use the other lines of dialogue added by this mod, during the battle, just not using new lines when leaving the sarcophagus/ before entering the battle, for reasons already explained. Also, I've made sure the new lines are similar to the vanilla lines of those 3, in tone and style, to maintain consistency.

    (check on the video bellow the vanilla lines used by the 3 mentioned Priests)
