To Your Face – Sensible NPC commenting (SKSE)
NPCs will not speak greetings towards the Dragonborn’s back. SKSE plugin.
Prevents NPCs from making random greetings unless they are in front of the player.
Motivation
The Winking Skeever is packed with people as you enter. After renting a room – miraculously still available – you make your way to one of the few empty chairs. As you sit down heads turn all around you, mouths open and out spills an endless flood:
What is it? – What do you need? – Yes? – Let’s hear it! – You have questions? – Something you need, you miserable wretch? – …
The mod works by modifying game code with SKSE. No scripts. No esp file. Safe to (un)install at any time.
Requirements
Skyrim
Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE)
Installation
Install with your mod manager or drop the contents of the archive into your Skyrim\Data folder.
Details
By default the affected comments are triggered when the player gets closer than 150 units (game setting fAIMinGreetingDistance) to the NPC. This mod adds the requirement for the NPC to be no more than 20 degrees (mod ini setting MaxDeviationAngle) sideways from the direction the player character is facing.
Permissions
You are free to use the mod and it’s source in any form as long as you give full credit and link back to this page when you publish your modification or reupload the mod. I would also appreciate if you let me know when you do so, but that is not a requirement.
