Since there are a few mods that do similar things with follower idle comments, I'll provide a breakdown of features of the current mods that will try to cut back on followers talking over each other:
Going to test this, but I wonder if it needs a patch for Relationship Dialogue Overhaul - Update and MCM, since the mod I'm Talking Here needed one... Hmmm...
I'm guessing I'm Talkin' Here was adding a condition to follower mods via patch. (Although they have updated it to use the silent idle in a high priority quest like I did, thus no longer requiring patches for most followers. Granted, it still doesn't check for scenes playing between followers like my implementation does).
I don't expect a patch to be necessary, although I haven't tried with RDO. It could require a patch depending on how their idles are set up. I guess just use some vanilla followers and see if you notice them talking over you a lot.
Very excited for this, and I laughed out loud when I saw none of my current followers on the list 😅. Since you said you're open to requests, here they are:
Inigo should work fine as is... he's even in the video demo, I just forgot to include him in the list, I guess. I'll try some of the others and see how well they work or if I need to drop in a silent line for them.
OK, I did a little more testing. Even if I remove the voice files, they don't say anything when they're not supposed to.
So my inclination is that these followers are already supported. However, I've noticed that a patch was needed for Caesia... for some reason, her idles are able to play if I don't add conditions to them. So what I'd like to ask you is to go ahead and try with these followers you've listed. If they talk out of turn a lot, let me know, and I can try to get to the bottom of it.
Kaidan seriously needs this. Recently we're sneaking through a dungeon and he's babbling loudly . I abandoned him for a while after that. He seriously does not shut up.
I got a suggestion on reddit to also filter out banter while sneaking. I'll put that on the TODO list, since it seems some followers aren't sneak aware.
OMG! LOVE this idea! I went to Falkreath with Inigo & Lucian once. As I walked through the graveyard, the priest stared the funeral for the little girl with her grieving parents right there. Inigo and Lucian started singing their version of Ragnar the Red DURING THE FUNERAL. My character fired Lucian on the spot, so I never did finish his plotline.
I'd recommend getting the updated version. It should reduce the chances of them talking if you're standing a... respectful distance away from NPCs engaging in a scene.
You can also configure the distance. I didn't test with the funeral... if you think you need to hover over the poor priest during the eulogy like a weirdo, feel free to up the distance. :D (See the STFU section on the mod description, specifically under configuration/troubleshooting.)

I've added a breakdown of 3 mods that all aim to reduce the frequency of follower talking over other NPCs. See the sticky above.

The main difference is they use a Synthesis patcher to edit the follower mods while I override companion idles with a silent line.
So they should work independently, but you don't really need to have both at the same time.
Amazing mod, works with my heavy modlist and is stable out the box for me right now, very good work!
My only suggestion would probably be an MCM menu only for convenience :)
Is it incompatible with Nethers Follower Framework?
Daumbra
Inigo
Daegon & Kaeserius (there's a Daegon-only mod too, but I don't have that one)
Ninara
Elana
Amaniri & Neranith
Naryu Virian

Blessings of Arkay on you!
