Intended as a niche mod for those with multiple dialogue and relationship mods—originally meant to help keep track of which "Hey there!" is associated with the mod you wanted to use. Now, if you're not bothered by dialogue tags, VDT will let you know which mod is presenting which dialogue option. Inspired by KrisV777's Dynamic Dialogue Replacer (DDR) and SkyHorizon's Dynamic String Distributor (DSD), VDT dynamically adds tags to player dialogue options at runtime, avoiding the risks associated with editing plugins/ESPs.

The optional "Immersive" Mode can further drastically reduce shown tags, only showing them when multiple different tags/mods are present in the same dialogue menu—this is for players who mainly want tags when multiple mods are adding options to the same menu, but otherwise prefer mod-added dialogue to blend in naturally (without any tags).
By default, VDT only tags mods explicitly supported by the curated built-in list, by the User Config, or by u
