***Please consider downloading BrokenDeer's Tweaks for this mod here! ***
I am no longer updating this mod, but BrokenDeer has uploaded some (honestly very much needed) fixes. You will need the main file from this page as well as his file.
Cheers and thanks for all the downloads - Never thought so many people would be interested in my first experiment into modding. Happy roleplaying!
What does this mod do?
This mod adds two new dialogue options to most generic NPCs, "Compliment" and "Insult". Once per day, complimenting an NPC has a small chance to increase their disposition towards you - if it succeeds, they will become friendly towards you. Similarly, insulting an NPC has a small chance to decrease their disposition. They are more likely to have an effect (positive or negative) based on your Speech skill. In addition, once per day (per person) complimenting or insulting will give you a small amount of Speech XP.
You can continue to compliment/insult someone after the first one each day, but there will be no gameplay effects until the next day. This prevents the player from just spamming "Compliment" to get someone to instantly like you, etc. The idea is that if you say nice things to the same people over time, they start to get to know you and like you more; the opposite thing happening for insults. Of course, maybe you drop a SICK BURN on someone and they instantly dislike you, or you give an amazing compliment that was exactly what they wanted to hear and they like you instantly. You're more likely to pull this off if you have a high Speech skill, but it's still not guaranteed.
Why did you make this mod?
Some background - I was inspired by an Oblivion mod I used back in the day, Persuasion Overhaul by Strategy Master. That mod replaced the unimmersive "persuasion wheel" in Oblivion with the option to joke, coerce, admire, and boast separately, which each having different effects based on the person. What I found myself doing was roleplaying my character by trying to flatter people, joking around, and threatening folks whenever it seemed fitting.
I realized that when it comes to roleplaying a certain character, you're really limited by your character's actions and dialogue options.
Take the infamous Nazeem. Why do so many people love murdering the guy? Because he acts like an asshole and there's no good way to react other than punching him, which tends to result in his death. C'mon, I hate the guy too but a bit of sass doesn't deserve death. He deserves to be sassed right back. Now you can do that.
Similarly, say your character is more of a people person. Maybe they're a kindly old lady or a noble paladin. How do you make friends with your neighbors? With a cheerful greeting, some small talk, or by complimenting their outfit, perhaps? Maybe some townsfolk did a great job helping you take down a dragon and you want to praise them for it? Now you can.
I kept the options generic, (Compliment) and (Insult) so that the player character can fill in their own responses. If you guys are interested, I may make alternate versions with different themes of written responses later on. Also, feel free to edit the dialogue in the CK for your own use, if you'd like.
Other Info
Requirements - Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch
Compatibility - As far as I know this should be compatible with everything. Let me know if you run into any problems.
Cleaned with xEdit.
Finally, this is my first ever mod and I'm very happy with how it turned out! If any mod authors out there have any feedback, please let me know as I am still learning!
