I initially ruled this out for one of the inns (Old Hroldan) due to an issue exclusive to that inn, but it seems the SDA bed detection script could have been optimized even more. Keeping 'I'll find us a table' since that's generally more reliable and doesn't rely on Serana's follower AI. - Serana can now store items in a dedicated storage inventory without using or equipping them. - Fixed Serana's Hagraven lines going off in Giant Camps instead of Hagraven Nests.

An expansion of Serana's dialogue and NPC features to make her a more immersive follower. This was an oversight - and partly why the retoggle patch was delayed until 3.3 (since the bloodcursed arrows dialogue was not fully disabled back then). - This bugfix release also incorporates all the fixes of the past hotfix releases (2.8.0.1-2.8.0.2, and some of the code of the hotfix file that was uploaded today), - Fixed seated animations for some Drinking Buddies drinks, - Fixed an issue where Serana would incorrectly refer to you as a female if your character was a male, with one of her radiant romance greets.

(It's easier to manage compared to four separate mod pages). 2. - A Serana Teleport Spell. Serana Dialogue Add-On Romance Update + LE Port! New voice acting with Kerstyn's voice as well as more extensive commentary on this armor. This has since been fixed. A new save is required for this update.

Go back to Solstheim. Rewrites and revoices of early SDA content (when Kerstyn was first brought on board). Improved pacing and tone of the "Trust" conversation by cutting unnecessary lines that made the conversation a bit melodramatic. One of the largest content updates thus far! Hey everyone!

Pretty Huge Update! Serana commentary should work, but YMMV, as SDA pretty much assumes you kill Tyranus when prompted. - Added in an option to equip Serana's default outfit again in the Serana Outfit Menu. Even vampires need some shut-eye every now and then. Too much was cut that some parts of the conversation didn't make any sense. - Removed Alternate Voice toggle scripts- as they're not needed anymore. Old Stone Walls was re-recorded in both an acapella and acoustic version. Serana's Drinking Buddies and radiant love forcegreet timers (to start the features) have been changed from 2 to 5 days. Changed Solstheim Location commentary and Serana Blackreach stuff to be triggered through Story Manager, Merged Breakup Handler, Bolstering The Ranks, Auriel's Bow records with SDA's Main Dialogue records, freeing up quest data space and making the mod's internals overall more streamlined, Enabled more Papyrus debug logging to help users who may be having problems with various features, Some under the hood tweaks for SDA Follower Banter, Improvements to script performance for College of Winterhold, Dark Brotherhood, and Companions commentaries, Changed Serana Silent Teleport script so she would be teleported nearer to the player. - Added in Papyrus log debug messages for the horse feature, to help troubleshoot additional issues. - Since there currently aren't any voicelines for Orc and Bosmer commentary for now, temporary measures have been put in place to ensure the initial trigger dialogue doesn't fire, as long as the player is playing either of those two races. 1.) - Finally fixed BSA file compression issues with two voice files, which in turn were causing issues with the spell disable/enable feature. - Camilla, Orgnar, and Delphine (considering she's still an innkeeper), - Why Serana speaks so casually for a royal vampire, - Serana asking the player questions about their character's goals in life (mainly for the player's role-playing), - Serana being reacquainted with the current world, - Tweaked conditions for some of Serana's radiant greets to occur after earlier on in the Dawnguard questline, - Some backend implementations to ensure Serana doesn't hum when the player is in dialogue with other NPCs (requires SKSE), - Fixed a problem with Serana's dialogue firing off in one of the Sorine scenes, - Added proper AI packages for Lisette and Taarie conversations.

This feature has also been added to the other quests where you drink with Serana (like the marriage quest and Bannered Mare Date Quest) Now there's more immershun! If that doesn't work, then type "stopquest SDA_FollowerBanter" in the console, followed by "startquest" for that same quest entry. - Serana can now wear whatever you want her to wear! Not to mention the mod should load faster on older hardware! - Fixed House of Horrors quest commentary not triggering, Fixed missing voiceline issue for Serana Husky commentary, Tweaked conditions for Serana's Radiant Hello Greet to trigger. - Forgot to generate SEQ (Start Game Enabled Quest) file with the last release. (Feature based on code by Followers as Companions by Ishara Meradin). If there are mods that do this too, do not use them with SDA- you will break Serana's brain! You can set adventure, home, and city outfits, which she will automatically cycle between depending on the location she's in. - Tweaked existing dialogue cool-downs to prevent them from being spammy, - A lot of radiant world commentary on various locations, from animal dens and bandit camps, to even military barracks, - Commentary on Discerning the Transmudane. No patch plugin needed, SDA should automatically detect when you have said mod installed and Serana is wearing the Ram Horn cuirass. Install hundreds of mods with the click of a button. This is to make it less intrusive when it first fires, and to have it be friendlier for VR users. - Disabled a Whats on Your Mind line as it didn't make sense with the addition of the new Trust convo, - Made the SDA Animation Framework Check message hidden, only available to see through Papyrus Logging, - All Main Quest Commentaries are now started via a ChangeLocationEvent SM Node, and are called to stop when they're not running anymore. Decided to just release this as a full update now, and not just a beta, as this update was already extensively tested and any bugs experienced (if there are) should be rather minor. - Serana no longer drinks a blood potion (visibly) if she is not following the player. - The game now notifies the player (through a small message at the top left of the screen) whenever Serana wants to talk to the player (for quest commentaries mainly). - If the player has installed the mod for the very first time past a certain point in the Dawnguard questline (Beyond Death) the player will be given a menu prompt on whether or not they'd like to have the Serana Romance feature.

This quest can be triggered after the Bannered Mare Date and the subsequent friendship conversation. - The FG/OStim check is now made on each player game load, making SDA now able to detect if either of these animation frameworks were installed on an existing SDA save. Apocalypse spell support was previously planned to be included, but this has been postponed to Version 3.4. Removed Laura Bailey lines that were only subtitles and didn't have audio. You can tell Serana to never equip it at all, or only to equip it if it's daytime and she doesn't have any other headgear. - Modified Romance10 script fragment (previously modified by this script) to reflect changes made in the main mod (adding Serana to the married faction), version 1.8.2. Log in to view your list of favourite games. - Fixed a possible issue for some users with the Companions commentary. One of the most expansive updates for SDA to date. This should add more padding and depth to what already was a pretty natural and organic romance.

I mean, why wouldn't Serana, a mage, have more to say about this place?

The horse will also follow/teleport to her when it has gotten too far, so no need to worry about horse catch-ups. - "House of Horrors" quest awareness. - Second Half of Companions Quest Commentary (starting from after "The Silver Hand"). Not required for both mods to work together well, just a quality of life improvement for repetitive Hello dialogue. Whenever you mount your own horse, she will mount hers in turn. If she is far behind (beyond hearing/conversation distance) she will be teleported to a spot near the player that they can't see (so sort of like a catchup feature). Serana and Aela are my two favorite followers in all of Skyrim, so to see a follower given as much of an overhaul as SDA . This was implemented to some extent in vanilla (hence how Serana had different dialogue animations throughout the DG questline) but never fully realized. I've since added in safeguards to ensure that once quests are run, they are no longer run again. - Implementation of another Dawnguard NPC interaction scene. The former song acts as a universal entry or starting point for Serana's song capabilities, as previously, "The Dragonborn Comes" would only be available to Dragonborn players. - Added script fragments to certain dialogues/scenes during the Dawnguard questline (for both the Dawnguard and vampire sides) to toggle the SDA_AlternateVoice variable. The patch has been completely redone (new records and new patch name), so just to be on the safe side you should start a new game with it/a game that hasn't had a Lustmord patch installed. - One of the SeranaRomance lines in the sixth mini-quest was re-recorded since I initially got Durnehviir confused for Odahviig. Serana now has her own custom horse, which you obtain through a short quest (which can be triggered as early as the Moth Priest hunt). - During Drinking Buddies, Serana should now only comment on Solstheim if you've been there. The revoice is completed. Tweaked StoryManager conditions for Serana's main quest commentary- added more failsafes to ensure they start and run on time. Full Kerstyn revoices for all Serana lines during the Kindred Judgement and Touching the Sky quests (the last two quests in Dawnguard). - Alduin bug was fixed previously but delayed. Re-added some cut content back to the Trust conversation. || The SDA and RDO patches have been overhauled to reflect this too. Martimius ported the overhaul to Xbox in June, and updated it on both platforms. - Added in teleportation to the Companions quest commentary. 50% of the full revoice is now covered. (This incorporates the Serana Hood Fix mod, along with modifications by me). Serana won't be that close to you after you've just made love once. This is toggleable through a global, (Type "Set SeranaRomance to 0" in the console if you want to disable it). I've just released the latest 3.0 update for my Serana Dialogue Add-On mod, which adds a bunch of cool stuff! - Serana can now sing two more songs: "The Dusk On Anvil Harbor" from Interesting NPCs (I got permissions! Again, to rectify this just stand still or move in her direction. The base narrative for the Thieves Guild remains unchanged, in addition to vanilla records not needing to be edited. ), - Manually went through a lot of the Serana Romance files and adjusted audio for those that were too quiet, - Improved face animations for some of the Serana Romance lines, - More ITPOs/ITM cleaning (Thanks to Astakos for pointing out the records!

I haven't gotten that to work yet, so you'll have to dismiss her yourself. - Fixed issue of AA records not copying over for the leggings, - Two Civil War Lines re-recorded for lore consistency, - New conversations with Serana implemented, -Serana's vampirism feeding, favorite book, hobbies, commentary after curing her vampirism, -Singing functionality (after prerequisite hobbies conversation completed, she sings The Dragonborn Comes (assuming player has already been formally recognized as such)), - Immersive radiant sound effects: While exploring, Serana will tend to sneeze, hum, and/or cough every so often. If you noticed Serana was unusually quiet in some quests, or should have commented on something, try playing through those bits again and see if she has something to say! This should prevent Serana talking to NPCs pretty far away, or in a different room, - Some line corrections for SDA Romance Ancestor Glade conversation, - Added more alternate voice toggles, improving the overall VA transition experience. - Reduced frequency of Serana's humming a bit (from 5% to 3%), - Reduced frequency of Serana lovey-dovey radiant greets (-20% less frequent), - Reduced frequency of prequel meme lines a bit more (-25% less frequent), - Sofia should no longer start her first conversation with Serana while she is still sleeping at the Whiterun Stables. - Despite the Thieves Guild questline being railroadey, the player will still be able to roleplay extensively with Serana.
