Skyrim mod lets you virtually handle the pain of rejection

If you've ever struggled with the pain of rejection, a new Skyrim mod allows you to tackle the fear of being turned down head-on in a virtual safe space. The 'Immersive Rejections' mod from jayserpa adds 'around 100 new voice lines' to Bethesda's open-world RPG game that NPCs will use if you pop the question to someone who doesn't feel quite the same way about you.


Mod creator jayserpa explains that they have not changed the standard conditions to ask someone for their hand in marriage, which requires wearing the amulet of Mara from a Priest in Riften and performing a task to win their favour. Instead, the mod adds the ability to ask NPCs if they are interested in the player at any time while wearing the amulet - regardless of if they will currently (or ever) be interested in accepting.


By default, Skyrim doesn't allow you to express your marital desires to someone unless they're already in a position to accept, so this mod should introduce a little more suspense into the process. As jayserpa notes, "The mod does not modify which NPCs say yes or when the NPCs say yes, it only adds content for all the times where they wouldn't be able to say anything."

Finally, keyhole-peeping comes to Skyrim




There was a time, back in the early 2000s, where it felt like I spent a good chunk of my gaming time sticking my face onto oversized keyholes and snooping on whatever was on the other side. In stealth-focused games like Hitman and Splinter Cell, there was something wonderfully clandestine about monitoring enemy patrols or eavesdropping on conversations on the other side of a door. Outside of the occasional moment where an enemy would open the door right as I bent down to look through, keyhole-peeping was a slick if small booster of stealth immersion...

Skyrim: Special Edition mod makes NPCs say your name instead of calling you Dragonborn




Thanks to AI voice-acting tool xVASynth, modders have a way to generate new dialogue in the voices of existing NPCs—or at least a half-decent approximation of them. Its creator, Dan Ruta, has demonstrated another use for xVASynth by modifying existing dialogue in Skyrim: Special Edition so that NPCs refer to your character by whatever name you enter...
