📋 About This Mod
Makes being the Mantis more impactful. Adds special dialogue to mention being the Mantis and to intimidate pirates or criminals while wearing the Mantis helmet.
Feature complete for now, but if I find any more reasonable places to add dialogue options I will update.
Updated for Free Lanes to support legendary re-rolls/x-tech!
Compatibility
This mod adds a standalone perk and its own script to recognise the Mantis helmet via keyword, so it should not conflict with any Mantis appearance replacers or other mods affecting the helmet.
For the dialogue options this mod does edit dialogue trees in certain questlines, but usually only by adding new options and using shared vanilla dialogue.
Mantle of the Mantis enhances the Mantis helmet in Starfield by adding special dialogue options that let you reference your Mantis status and intimidate pirates or criminals. Updated for Free Lanes, it supports legendary re-rolls and x-tech. A focused gameplay mod for role-players.
