This mod makes changes to dialogue for Danse, Hancock & MacCready. Also contains some bug fixes.

- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
INTRODUCTION
Yes, I know, there are lots of Companion Dialogue mods out there, but I just couldn't find one that did everything that I wanted (most seem to want to shut them up and I want them to talk more), so I started work on this.
This only includes Danse, Hancock & MacCready. There are a few lines added for Preston when speaking to him once romanced (Hon, Hey Hon, etc), but not much else.
NOTE: The mod modifies dialogue records and includes voice files and cannot be flagged as ESL (Mark as Light in Vortex is the same thing). Doing so will cause intermittent issues with silenced dialogue. I learned this the hard way with my Voiced Protag mod for FSD.
COMPATIBILITY
All quest headers modified by this plugin are flagged "Partial Form" which means the quest headers are ignored when the game loads the plugin. The only incompatibility would be with mods that alter the same dialogue records.
BUG FIXES
Confidence Man - Added a condition to MacCready's line "He's telling the truth" so it only triggers if the SS is male.
Long Road Ahead - Added "Start Scene on End" flag to player line "Here you go, MacCready." so that MacCready doesn't talk over the player.
Killing Kellogg Comments - The companion comments never fired for me when speaking to them after killing Kellogg. This was due to a scene condition that only allowed it to fire if they were in the cell FortHagen01. The confrontation with Kellogg is in cell FortHagen02 so I modified that condition.
DIALOGUE CHANGES
NOTE: When "removing" lines, I set a condition on them that will never be true so that they will not be spoken. They are not actually deleted.
Hancock (this includes my mod John Hancock Upgraded Romance):
Adds 10 new lines of dialogue and modifies 2 lines. Details below:
MacCready:
Adds 5 new lines of dialogue and modifies 1 line. Removes some negative loot & overencumbered comments. Removes some conditions on infatuation "Your thoughts?" dialogue so it is also said when romanced. Details below:
Danse:
Adds 14 new lines of dialogue. Adds conditions for dialogue pertaining to the Brotherhood post Blind Betrayal. Adds conditions to lines talking about being in Power Armor so they are not spoken if Danse is not in Power Armor (in case you are using a mod that allows you to tell him to exit his power armor). Details below:
There's more but this is getting too long...
COMPANION UPGRADED AFFINITY (OPTIONAL FILE)
I decided to keep this separate as I realize some may not want this, but the goal is to alter some likes/dislikes that do not match the companion's dialogue and/or personality. This modifies the companion affinity script, so no plugin is needed.
v0.6
First version of this script edit. It doesn't do much but it's a start. I will add to it as I come across other discrepancies between dialogue/personality and likes/dislikes.
Hole in the Wall
MacCready - He now loves it when you give the cure to Austin and hates it when you keep it. I felt this was more in line with him normally liking/loving when you help kids.
CREDITS
Huge thanks to Perilunian for helping with new dialogue lines.

Hancock (this includes my mod John Hancock Upgraded Romance):
Adds 10 new lines of dialogue and modifies 2 lines. Details below:
Spoiler:
Show
- SS Greet: Four new lines when romanced. "Hey Hon", "Honey?", "Hey, John", "John". Romanced SS will no longer call him Hancock.
- Ask about relationship: Modified 2 vanilla lines by adding "I love you" at the end. One new line: "Hey, you've got nothing to worry about. I love you."
- Hancock greeting: "Don't mind me. Just enjoying the view." was duplicated, so I removed one to make the greetings more random.
- Dismiss lines: Four new dismiss lines from cut content.
- Pillow Talk: One new line: "Come on, love. Let's get back at it."
MacCready:
Adds 5 new lines of dialogue and modifies 1 line. Removes some negative loot & overencumbered comments. Removes some conditions on infatuation "Your thoughts?" dialogue so it is also said when romanced. Details below:
Spoiler:
Show
- SS Greet: Four new lines when romanced. "Hey Hon", "Honey?", "Hmm. That's my handsome guy." (if SS is female). Romanced SS will no longer call him MacCready.
- Dismiss Line: One modified line: "Just be careful. I don't think I could stand losing someone I care about for the second time." changed to "Just be careful. I don't think I could stand losing someone I love for the second time."
- Loot Junk: "Don't make me carry that worthless crap." or "Oh come on. Just leave it." have been removed. One new line: "Take everything you can carry."
- Overencumbered: "How much more crap are you going to carry?" removed.
- "Your thoughts?" Dialogue: Removed conditions for the following lines so he says them when romanced, "Wherever you need to go, I'll be following right behind.", "Going to be a while before you can wipe the smile off my face.", "Too bad Duncan couldn't be out here with us. At least he's safe now.", I'll never get tired of this... I'm having too much fun.", "Hey, have you heard this one? It's about the Super Mutant who wondered why a rock kept getting bigger. Then it hit him. Hehe. No? Hm.", "Come on, let's go kick some doors down. Time's wasting."
Danse:
Adds 14 new lines of dialogue. Adds conditions for dialogue pertaining to the Brotherhood post Blind Betrayal. Adds conditions to lines talking about being in Power Armor so they are not spoken if Danse is not in Power Armor (in case you are using a mod that allows you to tell him to exit his power armor). Details below:
Spoiler:
Show
- SS Greet: Four new lines when romanced. "Hey Hon", "Honey?", "Got a second big guy?", "Hmm. That's my handsome guy."(if SS if female). Romanced SS will no longer call him Danse.
- Power Armor lines conditioned: "This moisture is bad for my Power Armor", "My power armor systems are within normal operating parameters, so I'm ready as I'll ever be.", "I hope this sewage doesn't wreak havoc with the servos on my Power Armor.", "Geiger's going crazy on my suit.", "Damn rain. I hope it doesn't rust out my suit again.", "Watch your radiation levels. My suit's meter is off the charts here.", "My power armor systems are within normal operating parameters, so I'm ready as I'll ever be.", "This moisture is bad for my Power Armor.",
- Ask about relationship: One new line when romanced: "I'd do anything for you. I love you."
- Post Blind Betrayal: Instead of "Decorum prohibits it, but I feel like being close to you right now." he will just say "I feel like being close to you right now." Many lines conditioned so he doesn't speak of the Brotherhood post Blind Betrayal (he will still mention SS being a soldier or being in the Brotherhood). There are too many lines removed to put here.
- Misc: There is just too much to note line by line. As of v0.6, nine new lines of dialogue have been added Post Blind Betrayal. Includes lines for Kasumi in Far Harbor, companion swap lines for Hancock and Curie, and more. Huge thanks to Perilunian for the new dialogue.
There's more but this is getting too long...
