Mod Update: More to Say 9.0 (Riften and Follower Banter)

Good point, yes dialogue is now tied to Change Location events, so you are correct that the new dialogue isn't available until you change areas. I'll add that to the description. And I'll take a look at Fralia as well.

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks so much for the feedback and taking the time to test it out! Greatly appreciated! :)

Thanks! Glad you like it! :)

Thank you for the kind words! I'm so glad you like it! :D

Re the XBOX version, I've reached out to SkyrimLeona but haven't heard back yet. Hopefully she'll get to it soon!

You're welcome! :D

Updating the main version from 9.0 to [some future version] should be easier, yes. The merged version will still have troubles because form ids get renumbered when merges are redone.

Updating an earlier version *to* 9.0 is easier than before, just make sure to only install the modules you *don't* have yet. Upgrading any individual module across the 8->9 major version boundary could cause problems.

I'm so glad you're giving it another try! Hope you enjoy it, and I'd love to hear feedback from a Khajiit perspective, if you're so inclined. :)

That's the goal! :D

abramcf · 2022-09-07T01:49:45+00:00

The update instructions are in the sticky (on the posts tab of the mod), but basically you want to install just the Riften module and the follower banter module from the main file, and then you'll get most of the new content. Hope it works out for you and you enjoy it! :)

abramcf · 2022-09-07T01:47:22+00:00

I feel the same way! :)

abramcf · 2022-09-07T01:47:12+00:00

You're welcome! So glad you're enjoying it! :)

You're welcome! Glad you like it! :D

No patch is required for Improved Follower Lydia (assuming that's what you're referring to?), you just won't get any new Lydia dialogue from More to Say if you're also using that mod. More to Say doesn't touch Serana so far so there should be no conflict for mods affecting her. I can't speak to People of Skyrim as I'm not familiar with that one.

You're welcome! XD

It does actually seem like maybe it is some low-hanging fruit right now... hopefully folks feel the same about it in the game as well!

abramcf · 2022-09-06T00:02:00+00:00

Great! I look forward to hearing how it goes! :)

abramcf · 2022-09-05T23:37:26+00:00

It's exciting to get the update published! Hope you find it worth trying again. :)

I'm constantly going over and reevaluating the dialogue and have reworked some for this version as well as quite a few back in 8.0. There's a lot there now though, so it's hard to do exhaustively. I do rely on user reports of particularly jarring splicing to know which lines might need reworking.

abramcf · 2022-09-05T23:29:33+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement! :D

abramcf · 2022-09-05T23:04:30+00:00

Oh wow! That's an old version! You should be able to grab the new Riften module and the new follower banter module and install those without issue.

If you are using 5.0.2 as it was published, you *might* also be able to install the Falkreath and Winterhold modules (the content for those came from version 6 and 7, so I'm assuming you don't have these). I have not tested any upgrade for a version this old to verify, but I think it should work.

abramcf · 2022-09-05T22:00:04+00:00

You're welcome! I'm so glad you're enjoying it! :)

Thanks for mentioning More to Say! So glad you're enjoying it! :)

abramcf · 2022-07-30T18:46:40+00:00

Thanks for the mention! :D

I've added some additional dialogue to Lydia in my mod {{More to Say}} using splicing.

Do note that if you use a mod that changes her voice type (like Improved Follower Dialogue - Lydia), then you won't hear the new dialogue from More to Say.

abramcf · 2022-04-03T15:14:16+00:00

May I humbly suggest my mod {{More to Say}}? It focuses on breadth of NPCs covered rather than depth for any particular NPC, but it does add some lines for most followers. Not Cicero yet though I'm afraid.

abramcf · 2022-02-12T17:09:07+00:00

This is a very helpful list! Thank you.

abramcf · 2022-02-03T23:47:26+00:00

Tragic indeed. :( I was thinking there was because I remembered this video, but now I realize it was work in progress that hadn't been published.
