OK i`m gonna put it to you this way. You buy a house an become thane. You enter Enter the shop to buy something the guy in the shop no matter how you are dressed calls you a thief. Insulting. So you go out an you leave come back at level 10 or somewhere around there. An a guy walks up to you an says " Did you see a dog out there"" You know what quest this is.

An he then tells you. to keep your nose clean here outsider. OK at this point i wanted to jack him up punch him in the nose an say HEY! I AM YOUR THANE YOU LITTLE SHIT! OK calming down. but you know this part. he treats you like you are an outsider. An some of the other guards do that too. Does this mod fix that?

Hey Warsun, can't say I've tested that exact scenario but this mod improves conditions for rarer dialogue and minimizes the all too common negative comments i.e. sneak thief.

Saying that, I know for sure I didn't edit anything where someone says 'Outlander', so this mod neither increases or decreases the chances. Apologies I can't be of any help with that!

Just kill them for their insolence for now ;)

Sorry to bother you but does this cover me being Thane of Falkreath where the guards will call me outlander when im the bloody thane? I know it triggers when you get the dog quest but they should know who their thane is.

They ask. Have you see a dog out there. I respond. The say. Ill keep a look out. Then respond keep your nose clean here outlander. WHOA WHOA WHOA! I am your thane! WTF?

Thanks!!
DrSphinctanium  [author] 8 Jul, 2021 @ 6:30am 
@Primaya nah it just edits the conditions under which each piece of dialogue is triggered. Shouldn't be a problem!
Primaya 2 Jul, 2021 @ 2:36am 
Does this mod write directly to saves / contain scripts? Only asking because I recently purchased the Special Edition, and in transferring saves from the original to Special, I'm worried about my save randomly being compromised or crashing since I did not remove this mod from the game.

Finally a proper introduction for heroes who just saved a village and not getting called a thief after all the things you have done.
carnage2332 31 Jan, 2020 @ 2:22am 
Never seen so many wet blankets complain about how you worded this. lol Thanks for the mod.

Better refers to a change but it doesn't SPECIFY the change Partum. This mod has made the dialogue better by changing the requirements for certain aspects of the dialogue to activate, thus "better"
emprah 15 Nov, 2018 @ 11:24am 
Partum, don't be a cock.

Finally I hate it when your a legate in the imperial legion let alone the one who killed ulfic, and your prancing auround in your imperial armor and the guards look you in the eye and say... “citizen”. But this mod fix’s that! Thank you.

Hello, Doctor Sphinctanium. That's what I meant by "Dialogue", as it "improves" it by changing its conditions. Not to be rude by pointing the obvious but your mod is called "Better Guard Dialogue". "Better" is a definition of change, a change that improves something. http://prntscr.com/jrrsql
DrSphinctanium  [author] 6 Jun, 2018 @ 10:10am 
Hi @Partum, this mod doesn't change any dialogue, it only changes the frequency and conditions that they say certain things! :)
boyboy5 3 Jun, 2018 @ 6:41am 
This mod does not change the guard dialogue. I am using Skyrim without DLC expansions.
myroncm 7 Apr, 2018 @ 5:01pm 
Great mod, makes the game a little bit better.
Breastie 3 Jan, 2018 @ 9:06am 
All mods are useful but not everyone just values them in a same way.
DrSphinctanium  [author] 16 Dec, 2017 @ 9:04am 
Fair point, not many subscribers at all... *cough*
LarryJ5573 16 Dec, 2017 @ 5:46am 
What a waste who cares predictably unecessary mod.
PixelDemiurge 11 Nov, 2017 @ 9:39am 
Thank god. Got tired of being called a sneak thief, when i only sneak to bow snipe bandits and never pick pocketed anyone in the entire game.
DrSphinctanium  [author] 13 Sep, 2017 @ 2:48pm 
@Carni ty! linked in the description :)
Bakil Askamrim 9 Sep, 2017 @ 6:45pm 
@DrSphinctanium Yeah, the mod I mentioned is in the Workshop, here's the link https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=7492

The author of that mod also has one where it mutes it completely I believe.
Tigercup9 7 Aug, 2017 @ 6:15pm 
Sorry mate, It's a good mod and it's gotten rid of a lot of the guards accusing me of being a sneak thief, but I think I'm going to enjoy GDO a bit more. May re-install at some point, cheers.
Xherdos 29 Jul, 2017 @ 7:33am 
oh ok now i understand :P
DrSphinctanium  [author] 29 Jul, 2017 @ 7:05am 
@Xherdos this mod doesn't really introduce new lines (it makes some lines that triggered on very rare occassions trigger as frequent as other regular lines) it just changes the conditions they're triggered under.

I.e. "Bruv, you use a two 'anded sword?" only triggers if you have a decent level in two handed, not just basic, similarly with "u fukin' sneak theif!!" requires higher sneak and lockpicking skills to be triggered.

A good way to test if it's working is to walk around with an iron or steel sword (this mod makes the lines trigger with all enchanted versions of those swords too) and keep talking to guards, they should mention your sword.
Xherdos 29 Jul, 2017 @ 5:02am 
well i don't know they saying all the same lines like before for me there has nothing changed
DrSphinctanium  [author] 28 Jul, 2017 @ 3:23pm 
@Xherdos Possibly! I didn't alter any speech files or change which 'quest' dialogue linked to which audio files, should work as far as I know. Let me know if it does! :)
Xherdos 28 Jul, 2017 @ 1:50pm 
is this working in the german language too?
DrSphinctanium  [author] 25 Jul, 2017 @ 6:26am 
@Carni that sounds like an awesome mod, is it on the workshop? might link it in the description
FireflyKnight85 24 Jul, 2017 @ 10:14am 
giving a single coin most likely to buy an ale, is not what i call charity, but who am i to judge.
Bakil Askamrim 17 Jun, 2017 @ 6:28am 
I love this mod. It's great when mixed with the mod that lowers the range and volume of the NPC dialogue so that way you don't have a guard yelling halfway across the hold that you're a sneaky pickpocket when you're donating money to the homeless.
MyKeyOFCL 24 Apr, 2017 @ 1:02pm 
@aeronaut Im pretty sure no one needed to see any of that.... lol

If only other mod descriptions were as comical as yours, Dr. Sphinctanium. :steamhappy:

"Fret" xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Buttertoto 25 Mar, 2017 @ 7:06am 
it doesent work for me
leto 11 Mar, 2017 @ 10:05am 
@Dr Spinctanium dang dood maybe you should make it a little bit less demanding so it doesn't catch me fapping. I would have downloaded this mod, but on account of the fact that I have a tiny penis and fap frequently, I don't want my friends and family to see my saying hi to my monster (very little monster).
DrSphinctanium  [author] 11 Mar, 2017 @ 6:44am 
@BloopdeDoop you need a 10Ghz Processor and 20GB Ram to play it, doesn't work on most systems, plus you need to be pro level (200+) otherwise it deletes all your saves and takes a webcam photo that it uploads to your facebook account every 2 hours (it WILL catch you fapping). So I'd say it's pretty demanding.

Juuuuuuustfuckin'witya it literally just changes some settings.
BloopdeDoop 10 Mar, 2017 @ 10:26am 
How demanding is this mod?

ChadPenceTheElectricFence 2 Mar, 2017 @ 4:30am 
@Dr Sphinctanium so will i need the faceless guard helmet mod?
DrSphinctanium  [author] 1 Mar, 2017 @ 10:05am 
@t1927 Yep. But with this mod they comment on regular items and armour.
Maxion_2000 28 Feb, 2017 @ 11:13am

ChadPenceTheElectricFence 25 Feb, 2017 @ 6:59pm
