I hope you do not mind me asking, but does this mod affect the existing changes to dialogue when you have the "Lady Killer" and/or "Black Widow" perks?
If I recall (it's been years since I last played the game), there are times when your character has the option to flirt if you have that perk. (This is distinct from the persuasion or intimidation bonuses, which I believe just function as RNG modifiers to a skill check that exists either way, rather than as specific lines of dialogue.)
In any case, I appreciate that this exists. One of my bits of resistance to playing the game again is the implicit heterosexual desire felt by the main character (regardless of whether they can ultimately be bi).
Sorry it's taken me so long to reply! I'm not on this site all that much anymore (I hope to make improvements on this mod in the future as I stated in the desc though) but I hope to still answer you regardless.
As of right now, this mod does not change any of the dialogue in the game at all. In my long absence since playing, I never learned how to edit dialogue. It's a bit of a large task too with a speaking protagonist, but like other mods I just hope some clever word swapping or using an existing line of dialogue with different characters would suffice. After I played FNV, I understand a lot of where you're coming from (the game starts with you being MARRIED after all) and I wish there was more choice about.
Just thinking, story-wise, since the Sole Survivor is happily married and so on and since old Fallout games added perks when you had sex and so on, I was just wondering why changing the original perk and not just adding a NEW PERK (that perk you made) when male SS has sex with Preston, Hancock, Macready etc or female SS has sex with Magnolia, Cait, Piper, Curie AND another new Perk (like genderfluid) in case the SS has sex with both genders. Also a new perk (like Polygamy) if the SS has more romances active. It would be interesting also if as Overboss in Nukaworld or Director of the Institute you could have your personal slave/synth slave.. I'm not a modder but I think Bethesda left a huge hole there..
the main issue is that this mod simply replaces the perks and as such is bound by the piss poor system in vanilla FO4, it would be nice if there was a full romance overhaul
In my book the protag ain't "happily married", he was forced to live as a heterosexual - like many people in real life who are "happily married". Just adding my thoughts.^^ Having an evil protag own a slave with the right faction would be cool, but Bethesda missed out on a lot when it comes to some ideas.
If you mean have both versions of the perks for a single gender ( ie the option to have both "Lady Killer" and "Confirmed Bachelor"), it just doesn't fit on the perk chart just yet. I don't want to use mods that extend it in a similar way to the F3 and New Vegas perk charts because I wanted this mod to feel as close to vanilla as possible but another perk is in the works where it'll combine the two into one.
As a dude that plays female characters any time I can, I appreciate this, I just never used Black Widow because all my female characters I play are gay, so now I can use this instead.
nice. personally though, i'd love something like 'People person' and get up 15% against ALL people lol. be good for those that want bonus dam but dont wanna put points in luck?....hook us up and you'll get my full endorsement.
I've got another perk in the works ( it'll be on a separate page because it's almost exactly like these two mushed together ) and was planning on calling it something like "Heartbreaker" to fit with their themes of being a dangerous flirt haha
