📋 About This Mod

This mod is no longer maintained.

Please use Upgraded Companions instead. It includes everything here, plus lots more.

I had hidden the mod but was asked to make it available again, so here it is.

FEATURES

Andreja

  • []More "Likes" - Modifies some vanilla affinity events for Andreja from Indifferent to Likes (if I felt it made sense).

    []Dialogue Fixes - Some of the dialogue for Andreja's personal convos didn't make sense to me and it seemed like something was missing. This was due to the dialogue being setup as separate INFO topics instead of one INFO topic with multiple responses. Only one INFO topic in a DIAL group will be spoken so only one line was being spoken by Andreja, which meant a lot of missing dialogue. I combined these into one INFO topic and now she says all lines.

Specific Example I was horrified - my failure would be reported to the High Council and the penalty would be... severe.

Andreja's Missing Dialogue:

Except... Sarah did not cast me out. I was allowed to stay, on the condition that any information I sent to the High Council was first shown to her. She made no attempt to interfere, and promised not to tell the others.

Player Dialogue Option (Now it makes sense): I'm not surprised. Sarah's a good person.These changes are from my Andreja - Affinity Tweaks And Dialogue Fixes mod, so if you use it you no longer need it.

Optional Plugin - An optional plugin is available that will also added new affinity events for Andreja's personal conversations. For example, I found it odd that she says "I appreciate that more than you know" but she didn't get an affinity bump for it. Now she does.

Barrett

  • []Restored Cut Scene - Allows you to let Barrett know that you are Starborn if you didn't skip the main quest in NG+.

    []Pays His Own Bills - Barrett will now pay for his own court costs. Never understood why he would ask some stranger that he barely knows to pay for his court costs. This is from my Barrett Pays His Own Bills mod (currently hidden) so if you have it you can remove it.

Sam

[]Restored Cut Dialogue from Commitment Ceremony - Adds a few lines at the beginning of the ceremony.

[]Sam Quest Dialogue Changes - Lots of changes to Sam's quest line. Restored some cut lines, changes some player dialogue. Adds more pillow talk lines. Removed "But time to get back to work." after asking how he feels about your marriage.

[*]When Asked to Speak to Cora - Wh
