USSEP compatible version of the essential fix to the thieves guild members dialogue system to prevent them spilling their life stories pretty much as soon as you meet them.

Initial release
In the spring of 2020 there was a reddit thread and a mod release about a certain... questionable design choice regarding the dialogue of the various Thieves Guild members. In short the system was setup so that the members would treat you as the new kid before you start the Goldenglow quest, and immediately afterwards they would spill their life stories at you, so essentially the less familiar dialogue was practically not seen at all. This mod changes that so the members will keep giving you evasive remarks all the way to the start of Trinity Restored, at which point the more familiar dialogue will become available.
The original mod was incompatible with some USSEP changes to Trinity Restored. This mod is otherwise identical to the original, but the USSEP changes have been incorporated. However it should be fine to use without USSEP too. The plugin is ESL flagged.
I think there are USSEP compatible Thieves Guild related mods that incorporate this fix, but I haven't come across one that has just this and nothing else. Installation: Can be installed on an ongoing save as long as you haven't started Meet the Family yet. If you are past Goldenglow but haven't reached Trinity Restored, you can still install this mod and run this console command: set TGtalkgate to 0
Compatibility: Incompatible with mods that edit the quests TG02B (Meet the Family, misc objectives) and TG08A (Trinity Restored).
