If like me you find that some of the followers talk way too much and repeat their comments to the point of it being absurd, this is the mod for you. It doesn't completely remove their chat, but reduces it to a sane level. In my opinion this makes the game more immersive, especially during a combat or stealth missions. Walking through cities now feels more realistic.

In addition, awesome follower mods with loads of voiced lines now feel much less forced and it will spread out their various idle and social lines through your playthrough. At first it might seem a little quiet compared to normal, but seriously what a relief to not have repetition to the point of insanity. Give it a little time to get used to the quieter, less annoying world and let me know if you have any suggestions!

UPDATE: 1.1 reduces dog barking as a separate option (Thanks to user radzio2k for the suggestion.) - the name STFUbitch refers to a female dog, so please don't get offended. I'm happy to change this if the Moderators find it offensive - apologies up-front. 

UPDATE: 1.2 followers will not complain as much about you bumping into them and also further reduced combat commentary

UPDATE: 1.3 slightly increases the chance of social interactions (but not the frequency) and adds enemies to the description, since I hadn't specified that enemies also taunt less during combat





This short video is an example fight session, with Preston Garvey - who barely says a word. Notice also the enemies don't constantly comment and taunt. Which means that when they do taunt, it has much more meaning and feels realistic (this is seen right at the end of this 5min combat session). Also note how Preston still says Thanks when healed ;)

There are similar mods here but they don't affect Combat dialogue the same way, also they didn't work on the DLCs so I thought I'd port my mod over from Skyrim SE (there's also a Skyrim Version). If you have any suggestions or feedback I'd love to hear it
