Skyrim Mod - Read And Learn Speechcraft / Speech
This is my first mod for Skyrim. I was very frustrated by the fact that Speech skill is most demanding of all skills and requires most time to level up. What I did is simply added ability to increase Speech skill every time player read a book. Not every book. Books used for this are History books, Poems, some research books but this mod does NOT affect books that already give special effects (default made by Bethesda) or journal or description books. Reason for this is simple - more literate / educated people have better vocabulary and generally better speech skills.
In this video on the very beginning, I used book 3 times. Default Speech level is 15 and no progress at all towards Speech level 16. First reading of the book increase a lot. This first reading of the book is dependable of player's level and if player speech level less than 5 it will assume as it is 5 and on that base calculate formula for speech increase. This was mandatory as with every new Speeck level, requirements towards Speech level progression is greater. This mode will still demand more books to read in order to gain higher level but will not be something abysmal. Second reading of the book increases Speech level for a fixed amount. This is nice small value yet with every new level of Speech it has lesser impact since it always increase skill for fixed value. Third reading of the book gives no progression. In order to distinguish all these readings, a small note in top left corner is provided.
This mod is available on Skyrim Nexus and Steam Workshop
