LE talking animals/beasts - very simple to make, speechcraft check is important, avoid fight

[lucidstorm1]

This is mod idea from divinity 2, when your speechcraft/rethoric is high enough u can talk with beasts instead of fighting them,

 

I think it could be simple to make: up to level 50 (or randomly picked high number), beasts will fight you, from level 50 and up you have a chance to talk to them.

 

How to do it?

 

I think that you could simply import a behavior from city guards and copy all its AI, remove unrelated dialogues, faction tags, and make them threat like you have stolen something (so the beast will first try to approach you)

 

from there there are some options: intimidation, rethoric check (and a simple friendly chat after: imagine a bear saying that he's very hungry and that he'd like to eat honey), persuasion, fight,

 

as of now I don't have esp, thesedit modding experience but I think that for an average modder who have done NPCs should be easy enough (or at least easier than most NPC mods)

 

I think this could be incredibly immersive and give speechcraft huge meaning

 

Best
