=== Relationship Dialogue Overhaul ===
[http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/74568/? Relationship Dialogue Overhaul] (RDO) is a new mod by CloudedTruth that is the successor to ''Dynamic Follower Dialogue''. It adds over 5000 lines of fully voiced dialogue for NPCs based on the relationship the NPCs have with the player. All lines are voiced using the original voices from the game. It adds existing dialogue to more voice types, adds some brand new dialogue, as well as restores some missing dialogue that Bethesda cut out of the game.
That is all well and good, but what does that really mean in terms of gameplay? Well, NPCs overall have more to say, and followers especially have a LOT more to say. NPCs also react much more realistically in conversation based on their relationship with you. NPCs who dislike you will be more insulting. Friendly NPCs will act more like actual friends. Your spouse will not speak like a generic follower when following you. It corrects dialogue that shouldn't be used in certain situations and so on.
A good example of something RDO changes is Nazeem in Whiterun. Everyone has grown to hate his insufferable comments about the Cloud District. "Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh, what am I saying, of course you don't." As the story progresses and you become Thane of Whiterun, this line doesn't even make sense. Surely someone as political as Nazeem would recognize who you were. Right?! With RDO installed, after you become Thane of Whiterun he will never say that comment again!
If more realistic dialogue sounds good to you, it would be worth your while to check this mod out. Many patches are available on the mod page, and the description page has all sorts of info on the mod itself, load order recommendations, compatibility info, etc. Enjoy!
