Mod Update: More to Say 4.0

PC SSE - Mod

Hi folks! I'm happy to announce the next major update to my mod, More to Say. Version 4.0 is now live!

Nexus link: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/22622

What does More to Say do? Glad you asked! It adds fully voiced inconsequential conversations and quests to NPCs, trying to stay true to the character's personality. The conversations are fully voiced, using the original game files.

Some new 4.0 features include:

  • Karthwasten is covered now (joining Whiterun, Riverwood, and Shor's Stone).
  • You can ask the guards about the cities and settlements they serve in. This goes for all the hold capitals and some settlements. Also Raven Rock. Some city guards have more to say than others.
  • Sven and Faendal now join Lydia, Uthgerd and Jenassa in having some limited main-quest aware conversations with the player in the early part of the game. Just in case you haven't met up with Lucien and Inigo yet.
  • You have a new immersive way to get Rocksplinter from Odfel by siding with him in his dispute with Grogmar.

A few other changes can be found in the changelog.

I sincerely hope you all enjoy it!

Been using it since my last playthrough: it's SEAMLESS, really a good job, thank you for sharing it!

By Ysmir, if it's simple and strong, I can endorse it.

Thanks! So glad you like it! :)

In the description, it seems to say that you need to do the starter quests to enable a lot of the dialogue. Does this mean a mod like Skyrim Unbound breaks all the dialogue?

abramcfOPMorthal•

I haven't tried Skyrim Unbound, but I'm guessing it shouldn't. What I'm hoping to get across in the description is that the starter quests enable *related* dialogue, not *all* the dialogue.

Me too! I hope you enjoy it.

Hope you'll consider an LE version.

abramcfOPMorthal•

I'm not planning an LE version myself, but I've left permissions open if someone else wants to take up the mantle.

I really hope so.

Hi, I just wanted to say that I was able to backport the mod, and that it seems to work without problems. I also check on xEdit and have not found any errors. I'm not an expert, and maybe there are factors that I haven't taken into consideration, but if you need a hand, I'm here.

Ayeyeah:Falkreath:•

Hi, is it on nexus? i can't seem to find it.

3
abramcfOPMorthal•

Really? That's wonderful! Permissions are open to post it somewhere if you'd like to, provided you credit me and let me know. Then I can link to it from the mod page. :) I'm not planning to directly provide other versions myself to keep the project manageable, so it would be much appreciated if you did.

Ayeyeah:Falkreath:•

thank you dude, i'll DL it now.

This would pair great with {Misc Dialogue Edits} and {More Dialogue Options}. Good job!

Thanks, and I expect you're right. Those two are on the list for my next playthrough. They sound really good.

Very nice indeed. I was hoping you would keep on expanding the mod.

Thanks! My progress has been erratic but ongoing.

Truly underrated mod!

Downloaded and endorsed a few versions ago and I love each update so far !

Thank you! I'm really happy to hear it's kept your attention. :)

You have really made NPC chitchat immersive in VR. I’ve never chatted up so many inconsequential npcs until your mod. Thank you.

7
abramcfOPMorthal•

You're very welcome! Glad to hear it's working in VR. One of these days I would very much like to give that a try.

Aw yeah dude!

High five!

Well dope, this'll be perfect

That's a really high bar... :)

Looks like a great mod. Just a question on compatibility though. Does anyone use it with interesting NPCs? Any conflicts? I can't imagine it would because INPCs adds new characters, but I just thought I'd ask.

6
oscarmardou•

Don't worry, they are totally compatible. One just adds new NPCs with their new dialogues and quests, and the other just adds new innocuous dialogue options to existing NPCs. Both are usually compatible with everything, and so they are compatible between then

7
abramcfOPMorthal•

Yep totally compatible. IMHO, I think it makes the Interesting NPCs fit in a bit more, since they have quite a bit more to say than the vanilla NPCs do in the base game.

7
The-Mofo•

Thanks for the replies. Just downloaded it now and am booting up my game. Cheers!

TRedRandom•

I've only just heard of this mod, but this sound's good. This sounds great actually. So I'll definitely check it out.

abramcfOPMorthal•

Glad to hear it! I hope it adds something to your experience. :)

SophiaSnugglesFalkreath•

Looking at the video on the page. A lot of these lines are ones NPC like to just say to you unprovoked. A mod that makes them not do that would be a good companion. I use {realistic conversations}.

5
abramcfOPMorthal•

Definitely. Other mods you could use to that effect are {No NPC Greetings} or {Skyrim Reputation}.

Darn you. I have to break my New Year’s resolution “don’t install any more mods” !

Thanks for sharing, I’ll grab these.

abramcfOPMorthal•

You're very welcome! And I don't know how I would ever be able to keep a resolution like that. But I do hope you get to play and enjoy the game too. :)

Now this is awesome, makes me wonder what city is next.

5
abramcfOPMorthal•

I'm working on Rorikstead, Ivarstead, Winterhold, and Falkreath. I'm not sure which one(s) will make it to the finish line first though.

4
Avenged1994:solitude:•

Nice,

Another question, do you plan to expand the diologue in the rest of the cities, after the ones your currently working on, like Solitude, Windhelm, Markarth, Morthal, Ext., Ext.?

3
abramcfOPMorthal•

Yes, hopefully. I'm not sure of the order yet. But I think I'm most excited about Morthal and Riften. So that will likely be where I head when I get to that crossroads.

3
Avenged1994:solitude:•

Awesome!!!!

1
SophiaSnugglesFalkreath•

Falkreath could use a lot more love. NPC there are very bare bones.

1
abramcfOPMorthal•

So true. Same for Morthal in my opinion. So much potential in both those cities...

2
SophiaSnugglesFalkreath•

I haven't really hung around Morthal to the same extent that I've done so with Falkreath, so I can't really say so myself, but I image you're probably right, given how Hjaalmarch, Falkreath and Pale seem to be an afterthought.

Somehow completely missed this mod, but it sounds exactly like something what I would like to use. Time to try it out.

Glad you saw this then, and I hope you like it!
