Call a Vampire a Vampire

Description
What is this?
A fix for some of the odd little neologisms (made up words!) that plague BioTech, particularly as relates to "sanguophages." The following things have been changed.
  • All references to Hemogen are replaced with Blood.
  • All references to Sanguophages are replaced with Vampires.
  • All references to Deathrest are replaced with Torpor.
Okay, but why?
Personally, I just don't get Tynan's obsession with painting the thinnest veneer of sci-fi over everything in the game. Anne Rice and Bram Stoker aren't going to suddenly rise from the grave and sue Tynan out of existence for copyright infringement, and putting weird names on everything doesn't make it more original. There's perfectly good words and concepts for all of the things related to sanguophages in BioTech, so I figured I would just make a big XML patch to change it all.

If you're still interested in the XML Extensions stuff, let me know and I can put some more work into seeing about getting it working again. Trying to handle conditional conditional conditionals was breaking my brain, but if there's significant demand I may put more time into it.

Thanks @EliseArtemia and @The Forgotten Detective, I really appreciate it. Life goes on, as they say.

I am terribly sorry for the loss you faced. You have the condolences of this stranger, who also offers thanks for the work you've put in to provide this mod for us. Keep your head up.

Added the 1.6 tag to the mod, folks! No functional changes this time that I've seen, but we don't know if Odyssey might throw around some odd terminology. Please report any instances of the words "Sanguophage" "Hemogen" or "Bloodrest" once it's out! Cheers everyone.

I'm sorry for your loss, take all the time you need.

This is almost certainly still fine in 1.6, because it's all XML patching. Even if something were to go wrong, it'd probably just break a bit of text so it's safe to try out.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to update my mods for a while yet. My mother recently passed away, and I'm headed up north for the memorial. I'll get to them as I can, hopefully before 1.6 or the new DLC properly release or at least not too long after.

Does this work fine in 1.6?

This one and the mod that changes psycast to magic are the essential mods in any of my playthroughs. Ty author
