Dude I just want my faves to stop being shits to each other. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If that bothers you, don't download it.

This file is here for people who want it. Rude comments will be deleted as soon as I see them. You're wasting your time and mine by leaving them.

HERE IS A LINK TO THE DAO VERSION

Update: I also recommend Bean's Dialogue Edits by Ladybean for the best experience. Non-banter (and also DLC Banter) between companions has been removed or edited by Bean to have companions fight even less. A true hero. (Seriously Bean I owe you my life)


Pros: see below for some examples of what's removed; your companions won't be so cruel to one another. Great for low-stress-threshhold gamers or people whose Hawkes would absolutely have individual talks encouraging their friends to be kinder to one another.

Cons: The banter will fire off at the same rate so your ragtag bunch won't be quieter than usual, but if you're going out of your way to get through all the banter with your companions at once, you'll definitely notice a lot less banter.



THE MAIN FILE IS TENTATIVELY BEING DECLARED FINISHED; HERE'S A SUMMARY OF SOME, BUT NOT ALL FIXES
-Less Anders vs Fenris
-Aveline doesn't call Isabela a whore
-Isabela doesn't make that one really gross comment about Fenris' time as a slave
-No more Isabela/Fenris (some remaining flirting but nothing serious)
-A couple disrespectful banters removed between Anders and Isabela
-Removed a good chunk of mean-to-Merrill banters.
-Sebastian doesn't go all OOC twoface on you and your party members by trying to get Fenris to turn in Merrill and Anders. 
-Anders doesn't make the belt buckle joke. (Unless you want him to. There's an optional file.)
-Sebastian doesn't needle Anders about if something "happened" in the Circle.
-Varric no longer has as many banters with Sebastian where he's really aggressively mean to him. #thanksbioware
-More awful banter towards Merrill removed
-I'm pretty sure I've figured out how to stop the banters from playing entirely. Working on going through all of the removed ones again, and now I'm actually keeping track of what I've finished.
-Aveline doesn't give Bethany a backhanded compliment, and doesn't call Merrill stupid anymore.
LATEST: Anders doesn't ask about Aveline and Wesley's sex life.

WHAT ELSE I PLAN TO DO BUT HAVE NOT YET
-Stop the mean anti-Merrill banters, she deserves better. DONE
-Some DLC fixes such as....
-Sebastian will no longer talk to Fenris about turning in Anders and Merrill DONE
-Anders won't make fun of the Andraste belt buckle. DONE, BUT OPTIONAL
-Carver won't tell Anders that if it weren't for Hawke, he'd turn him in (Legacy; side project different cnv)
-Fenris won't be horribly unkind about Anders having a Bad Time in the Deep Roads (Legacy; different cnv)

This is all the follower_banter.cnv, and it's going to be one file with a whole lot of fixes because of the way editing this works (everything's done one-by-one and it's really tedious), and the fact that it's all in one file and individual fixes probably would conflict with each other. I'll be cleaning the file up over the next...while, possibly, but maybe before extensive playthroughs I'll just cave early and add the optional files-by-request, but THEN once I do I'll be releasing the modified .cnv file for manual editing. 

PROBLEMS
-The banters I've done my best to clear start to fire (the first line plays) but stop, so you'll get random comments that seem like they should go somewhere and then don't. Not quiiite sure how to fix this but I'm going to be working on figuring it out. I have figured it out but I have trouble finding which ones do it at first so I'll have to do some plays through the different acts to make sure I don't miss any one-liners because something fired anyways, lmao

THANKS TO:

Hawkethority, for getting me started in modding.
Sapphim, for her lovely dialogue modding tutorials, without which I would not have made it far at all.
THE MOD SQUAD AS A WHOLE FOR BEING COOL AS HELL AND GIVIN ME SUGGESTIONS :D

Permissions: Don’t take the credit for all the work I’ve done, obviously, it was exhausting to do, but by all means, if you’re not pleased with where it’s at at present and you’re impatient to get to customizing it, please feel free to extract the .cnv from the .erf and keep going, I really don’t mind. This project is to make players more comfortable and I’m only one person and can’t speak for everyone. Even though I have a basic catch-all file, people still have different preferences, so...have at it! You are free to separately post the modified file on the Nexus, just please link back to the original mod as well to credit me.
