Today's Menu

Description

A little immersion addition to allow the player to buy daily menu from innkeeps.

Ideal when coupled with needs/survival mods, or simply for roleplaying as a patron.

Innkeepers have a new line of dialogue allowing you to order today's menu.

The price of a menu is set to 20 gold. You will get:

- A main dish (cooked meat, soups, ...)

- A drink

- Often, and extra side dish (like bread, cheese, baked veggies, ...) or a dessert (treat or fruit).

The food/drink items will be added to your inventory.

Menus are randomized, with a bit of locality (more fish in Riften or meat in Markarth, local beverages, ...)

Sometime you will get more worth in gold than what you paid, sometime less. Food overhauls may  lead to further disparities.

For consistency, this is also recommended that you grab a mod that will increase room rental prices to something more believable.

I published a small one specifically for this purpose: Coherent Inns Prices

You can only buy the daily menu once per day in each inns.

For the record, the food is not taken from the vendor's inventory (so you can buy everything an innkeeper has to sell, and still get your daily menu).

Known Issues

Some NPCs may have silent dialogue. This is more likely to happens on lines when the player do not have enough gold, and should still be a rare occurence.

Synthetizing new lines for missing voice types is more trouble than it's worth, the mod is doing the best it can by simply recycling existing vanilla recorded dialogue lines.

Compatibility

There is no hard incompatibilities. Any innkeeps, vanilla or mod added, will offer daily menu as long as they have the proper factions, and will be voiced if they have a vanilla voicetype.

If they're in a location recognized as child of a vanilla city, they'll also have proper locality.

Mods heavily modifying food tables or price may lead to inconsistencies, such as getting a very pricey treat included in a 20 gold menu.

Not all mod-added food may not be available as part of the menu, but there is enough variety in the base game that it shouln't be too big of an issue.

If you need/want to patch what's in the menu, distribution is handled through custom leveled list, you're free to edit them.
