Hi Kris
Dude, this is an awesome mod. I’d argue it’s even better than Vilja and just as good as Inigo because even though Inigo takes the role of a ‘best friend’ and Vilja a love interest, you gave the entire NPC world more meat on the bone. It feels more like real life – some people let you know them really well, some less so. I could not play without INPCs. In fact, the reason I never got into The Elder Scrolls is because characters are cardboard cutouts. I remember starting Oblivion and being told by Captain Picard to go shut the jaws of oblivion, and when I left the Imperial City the next NPC I met asked me to catch a fish for him. Gorr and Hrojimir at the beginning of Skyrim show me that with this mod, it’s now more like the RPGs I like – Baldurs Gate, Mass Effect, etc. I’m not motivated to ‘save the world’ for cardboard cutouts. But I’ll save it for Gorr.
So I’m sorry that my first post here looks like criticism or a demand. Nobody should be demanding anything of you. I understand you took offense when i said I’d be annoyed at the lack of marriage dialogue. It wasn’t meant to be criticism. Just that I’m trying to figure out which mod ads what I want. If the depth with INPCs is in the pre-marriage stuff then I’ll milk it for all it’s worth and then move on. Also when I said up there that I cringed, I was talking about vanilla NPCs and asking what Zora had to offer above this. Evidently it’s at about the same level as vanilla NPCs. Do I think this means this mod is bad? No: Of course not. I’ll play Zora until all her quests and content are done – I’ll soak up every morsel of dialogue and roleplay that I can, and then I’ll move on to the other rich source of dialogue. I’m guessing it was my choice of words that offended you and not the fact that I’ll go do this. I’m enjoying this mod immensely. Thank you for making it.
Anyway. I was hoping to make a better first impression here than this. I want you to know I’m ashamed I’ve upset the creator of the best thing about Skyrim. If I’m honest with you, I’m also upset I was taken so negatively. I can see why, of course. I was even foolishly hoping to do a little bit of acting for you. Such is life.
I’ll go crawl back into the hole from which I came.
