Edit Reputation Titles?

[kylemarshiku]

Hello there. I had another idea of a mod I thought would be cool, one I thought would be simple... But turns out it might not be? Please let me know if anyone has any idea how this mod could possibly be made possible.

 

The idea is as follows. I simply want to rename what the Reputation Titles are. I'm not sure if that is their proper name. I am NOT talking about Faction Reputations like Goodsprings, NCR, Legion, Novac, etc. I'm talking about the titles you have with them as a product of your fame and infamy. Currently they are:

 

Neutral -> Accepted -> Liked -> Idolized

Shunned -> Mixed -> Smiling Troublemaker -> Good-Natured Rascal

Hated -> Sneering Punk -> Unpredictable -> Dark Hero

Vilified -> Merciful Thug -> Soft-Hearted Devil -> Wild Child

 

I've never liked these titles. They're silly and not informative about your reputation, nor do they make sense in the world. They are the weakest part of the Reputation system in my opinion. It's annoying to usually help the NCR but occasionally defy them and be called a "Good-Natured Rascal". It's annoying to kill the Legion on sight, but you helped them once or twice, so you're called a "Merciful Thug". These titles just do not reflect your actual status at all.

 

So I've discussed this with my partner, and we've come up with some replacement titles. We wanted them to be more descriptive of their combo of fame and infamy, and we wanted them to be consistent nouns (unlike how the pure fame/infamy are adjectives???) that don't belittle the player. Here's what we came up with:

 

Drifter -> Ally -> Friend -> Savior

Pariah -> Free Agent -> Vigilante -> Hero

Enemy -> Outlaw -> Enigma -> Anti-Hero

Terrorist -> Villain -> Anti-Villain -> Wild Card

 

We feel these titles are far better than what existed. However, we've looked through the ESM. Tried FNVEdit. Tried the GECK. Where is this information stored? Is it some kind of hard-coded? Does anyone have any idea how this can be changed? All we've seen are mods that add more faction reputations, but nothing that talks about the ranks of reputation and the titles themselves.

 

Thank you for your time.

Go into the GECK, click on Gameplay at the top (next to Help), then click on Settings.

 

Filter on sRepTitle and you'll find them all.

Oh goodness, thank you so much! Can't believe we didn't think of that! We'll be able to do exactly what we wanted! Thanks!

Just a suggestion but Wild Card could be Traitor instead to reflect the fact that you usually get Wild Child after you tank your reputation with a faction you were already Liked by. And it makes sense--they did like you but you ended up betraying them.
