Hello, I was also thinking about ways to increase speech. Let's face it: speech in Skyrim kind of sucks. I mean, you spend most of your time either exploring or fighting. Impossible to make a truly bard playthrought. Do you remember in Game of Thrones, I think it was during season 2, when Tyrion Lannister was surrounded by bandits, and talked his way out with them until they joined him ? That is cool ! Imagine that you are playing as a charismatic bard. You just have your cloth and your dagger, difficult to deal with an angry barbarian with a big ass axe. Let's imagine talking to him and convincing him that he will be earning more money by aventuring with you and looting a dwemer ruin than robbing poor guys on the road ! Roleplay AND immersive ! Or, I don't know; you want to join the Stormcloak but they impose you this annoying quest to kill an ice wraith. I will be cool if, you are wearing a cloak made of bear (from winter is coming mod) and passing a speech test to convince that the very cloak you are wearing is because you killed a bear with your bare hands and wore his pelt as a trophee, therefore being a true son of Skyrim, barbarian style ! How badass is that ? Could be easy to implement as I guess you can already use the voice lines present in the game (in the case of the bandit, he will just have to say "make it quick", "yes I agree", "Nice try but I donĂ¹t believe you" if you fail and attack you).
