SKYRIMLE Respectful Lydia - Willing Burden Carrier (by Man or Monster)

[johnnyboy88]

Okay I took a quick look at skyrim.esm in the creation kit as well. If you go to the traits tab of HousecarlWhiterun there is a disposition base of 35 set. However, according to the Creation Kit wiki that field is not used. https://ck.uesp.net/wiki/Traits_Tab

 

Although other tutorials say different. Such as this one https://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Adding_a_Follower_NPC_to_Skyrim

It says in order to recruit someone a minimum value of 75 is required. Seeing as Lydia is set to 35, if it does do anything, it must be dynamic and linked to relationship values somehow.

 

According to this page. There are relationship levels ranging from -4 to +4 https://ck.uesp.net/wiki/Relationship

In the object window if you select "*All" And then put "housecarlwhiterun" into the filter, you can open the relationship window there. The default relationship value is set to Ally or +3 for Lydia.

 

Now, according to this page on adding voice. https://ck.uesp.net/wiki/Adding_Voice_Intermediate_Tutorial Sound files don't change for any given dialog choice. The only thing affected by dispostion or relationship status is what dialog options are available to choose from. As an example. If you don't have a high enough disposition/relationship value you don't get the option to recruit someone as a follower.

 

So with all that said. It looks to me that nothing is "technically" broken. So all that remains is deciding on whether or not she should sound so put out and sarcastic when you select that dialog option. If not, then this sound file mod is the fix for it.

Thanks for investigating this in such detail guys.

 

In this case I would say it's not a technical fix, but it is an immersion fix, just as Appropriately Attired Jarls.

Well, with a companion wheel I'm going to use EFF forever probably. Plus, expired has redone the modder's resources to allow for new plugins that someone will eventually use for something awesome.

 

I could've sworn that I already had a mod installed that made Lydia use three different lines, but I have no clue what that is and I even looked for it with TES5Edit.
