Hidden skill checks

One thing I've always hated about Fallout 3 and New Vegas is how "easy" dialog is. If there's a skill check, you know that that'll give you the best outcome.

 

I'd like to see a mod where this is removed. For example "[speech 45] Choose this option to get more caps" would become "Choose this option to get more caps". It's a minor thing, but I think it'd go a long way to add a bigger sense of challenge to dialog.

Yeah it'd be more interesting, but to make it really challenging would be a random element/factor compared to your skill level. In other words you wouldn't know what the skill level check was *and* it was randomly generated at the time of the dialog. There would be parameters, for instance a very hard skill check that is normally 90 might be + or - 10 (from 80 to 100 then compared to your skill level), whereas a easier skill check might be 30 + or - 20. Sometimes you could pull it off and sometimes you couldn't, and you woldn't know beforehand.

Plus, skill checks can backfire, e.g. If you pass the Barter check with Dean Domino in DM, he later turns on you.
