Annoying NPC dialogue removed
Divinity Original Sin 2 is a great game, but one thing I hate about it is the constant ambient dialogues, especially in city hubs. I've been wanting to start a new playthrough but didn't know if could bear hearing another "Keepin' it together Bree?". So I found a simple way of preventing some very annoying NPCs from talking without having to kill them: I deleted their dialogue trees.
This mod only affects ambient dialogues. Basically, NPCs are still working as intended, they simply won't talk unless spoken to!
I didn't remove any dialogue that could lead to interesting player interaction.
v 2.0 update: I'm sorry it took me so long to see the requests in the comments, I did not get any notification from nexus. I have now removed ambient dialogues from several NPCs in Fort Joy / The Lady Vengeance and a few more from Arx outskirts!
In Fort Joy and the Lady Vengeance (Act 1), I removed ambient dialogues from the following NPCs:
In Reaper's Coast and the Lady Vengeance (Act 2), I removed all ambient dialogues from the following NPCs:
Notes
I removed the dialogues that were the most repetitive - some of them I could still hear even after 6 months without playing the game :')
If you have other suggestions or requests don't hesitate to ask and I will see what I can do! The editing is not complicated but sometimes it's tricky to find where specific dialogues are stored.
I tested the mod in all areas where NPCs were modified but I have not played extensively while using it. The changes are very light and shouldn't conflict with anything (unless another mod edits the same dialogue files), but please tell me if you experience any issue!
