(WIP)

Dialogue implementation is already extensively covered in the Creation Kit Wiki:

• Basic Dialogue Tutorial
• Advanced Dialogue Tutorial
• Hello/Goodbye Tutorial
• Dialogue Overview

This guide will focus on filling in gaps not covered in the existing tutorials. Topics will include combat & detection dialogue, efficient dialogue implementation, conditioning dialogue for script generation, and more.

Efficient Dialogue Implementation

Example

Consider the following lines of dialogue:

Prompt: [Tell your story and ask to be named Hortator]

Response 1: Player has high speechcraft.

1. You want to be Hortator? A pity. Orvas Dren does NOT want you to be Hortator.
2. And very few councilors would be willing to risk Ser Dren's disapproval.
3. But your eloquent passion, your exquisite vulnerability moves me to risk all, and defy Orvas Dren. Yes, sweetie, I will name you Hortator.
4. But I have something to ask of you...
5. Will you give me... a kiss?

Option: [Stall for time]

1. Please! Take your time, my little flower. What is a little time between such intimate friends?

Option: [Give him a kiss]

1. How tender and thoughtful! You've made me the happiest fellow in Vivec. And now, pumpkin, it's time for YOUR gift... And I have just what you want.

[Go to: being named Hortator]

Option: [Bribe him 500 gold]

1. You've broken my heart. But in time it will mend. And in the meantime, I'll console myself with your gold. And now, pumpkin, it's time for YOUR gift.

[Go to: being named Hortator]

Response 2: Player has low speechcraft.

1. You want to be Hortator? A pity. Orvas Dren does NOT want you to be Hortator.
2. And very few councilors would be willing to risk Ser Dren's disapproval.
3. But if you were to give me a small gift of 1000 drakes, I might reconsider.

1. What a thoughtful gift! How did you know? Gold! It's just what I wanted. And now it's time for YOUR gift... And I have just what you want.

Continuing from: [And now, pumpkin, it's time for YOUR gift.]

1. In my formal capacity as Councilor of House Hlaalu, I give you my vote for the title of Hortator.
2. And since all the councilors agree, here's the Belt of the Hortator.
