Permissions and credits
Notification Overhaul 1.5a

[Description]
=========
This mod overhauls all the text you see in the upper left corner when being notified by the game.
Instead of being told something "by the game", you will see messages in 1st person.
Notifications will be more immersive in order to make you feel more like the character rather than
some computer user playing a video game.

All interaction text color has been changed from white, to a color appropriate to the action urgency and/or safety.
For example, talking (Talk) to someone is green because it is safe and not generally urgent.
Pickpocketing (Pickpocket) someone, or not being able to enchant an item is yellow because it is risky and/or
a minor error.
Being out of Magicka is red because if you are a mage and out of Magicka, it is VERY urgent and
dangerous.

Those are just a few examples.

Notifications are now more immersive and over a bit of time, they will blend in nicely with the game and
you will forget it's a mod. I know I have, but then I get reminded when I notice again it is my mod :P

Crafting stations have received some changes as well. Along with some other entries.
One of the biggest ones I HAD to change was the "DISCOVERED" suffix when I discovered a new area.
I hated it so much. So I removed it so it just shows the name of the location across your screen. :)
You will like it, trust me.

If there is anything you will like to see changed, don't hesitate to leave me a comment and I will check replies
periodically. If I agree with the change, I will change it in the next update.
