Serana Dialogue Add-On | Skyrim Mods

[@chaserseven2886]

fun fact: you can actually go to fort dawnguard ands talk to isran and tell him about serana and he tells you to do as she says

Wait what do you mean

[@8w6good8]

@@swiftghxst4301 if you return to Fort Dawnguard immediately after finding Serana (she will follow you but wont enter the fort), Isran will listen to your story and tell you to guide Serana home and try to gain some information or sth

Duuude... I've been waiting for this since you teased it back when you did Sirenroot. Can't wait for this series to unfold

[@jasonaltman7164]

“I mean… we just killed your dad….” I said the exact same thing. So. Many. Times.

[@SparaticSpartan]

I’ve had this mod in my load order for quite awhile, and I will say that I think SDA Serana is great to have around exclusively as a regular follower or friend. As for the romance…that needs to be overhauled like completely imo. I think this video is pretty self explanatory as to why.

[@Fuegoaries]

I really like how they actually improved and added a lot on to this mod even after so long💯.

[@Cruor34]

How did the voice actress do this without bursting into laughter? Like "do me right now" "Uhm, there is a troll right there" " I WANT him to watch. Come here!"

[@TheMaleRei]

I hope and pray there are outtakes out there and her commentary. I'd dearly love to hear them.

[@The_Mojave_Mailman]

This feels more like it changes Serana's character more than expands on it.

[@KoldOmega1]

You are correct.

[@sydniebush6490]

agreed

[@TheMaleRei]

Well, I mean, let's be honest - that's the point. 😎

[@The_Mojave_Mailman]

@TheMaleRei so what's the point of it being Serana? A lot of times horny mods have some humor to it but this one is just straight up sad

[@TheMaleRei]

@@The_Mojave_Mailman Because, unironically, Serana of all the NPC's in the whole of the game, has the most character-personality & interactivity. Unlike pretty much everyone else, which has maybe six lines at most? And, quite frankly, Serana, to my knowledge, is the only NPC that has ever said- "I'm glad you're here with me." Why does it sound 'sad'? Well, it's possible that it was a man who *wrote* her lines, a man who doesn't know how women actually speak to men when they're in love with someone... That could have contributed to it.

[@airiannawilliams3181]

Due to my choice of stone, and use of the Aetherial crown also having the same power, and level in Alteration, my magic absorption was over 120%, and when I spoke to her about when she "put a calming spell on you" I was able to tell her it didn't effect me. So I am glad they covered all the basis of the subject at hand. It also negates any dragon breath weapon, and spell casters are a non-issue, as all spells are absorbed negating any effects they would have otherwise. - Not recommended when helping a particular student in the mage's collage, as the spells never take effect so they can't wear off, forcing a console command to advance the quest chain. But highly recommended when using the scrolls from a particular khajiit in the same area as the scrolls effect the caster as well.

[@TheKabuto90]

Honestly... I can't help but feel like there were some weird choices made for the dialogue. There are several parts of it that just feel a bit stiff and maybe a bit unnatural or out of character. Overall it's great work though, kudos to the mod creator.

[@d.pedroii2940]

Back when it came out I was critical of it, but honestly today it's my favourite mod

[@stevewatson8867]

when you play as an imperial serana comments on loving the brandy and when you go to elenwens party serana asks you to bring back a bottle. plus when your raiding fort frostmoth and you unlock the room that has all the loot serana see`s all the brandy and flips

[@nathanbentley1939]

Ten minutes in, and I can't tell if this is a Skyrim follower mod, or a sappy romance novel.

[@willpower8061]

Holy hell, it seems Serana is a major wino.

[@vergyltantor3211]

This is a small thing and probably not worth changing now but, a suggestion for the mod creator would have been an option in the dialog for curing the players vampirism as well as Seranas'. Maybe they could have replaced the name of Falion in her dialog with another name so you could go at the same time without much trouble. It seems a little strange to ask her to get cured while remaining a vampire yourself.

[@veecru]

I’ve been waiting so long for you to cover this mod! Can’t wait to dive in

[@alykadane7206]

HI, Zero, I know it's probably a bit late, but if you are delving into follower mods, I'd really like to suggest you taking these great followers (Inigo, Kaidan, Serana, Bjorn etc...) through vanilla quests, as they have quite a bit of interactions along the way, as well as to each other (With Lucien)...Again, I should have mentioned it before the playthrough, but I didn't know you'd interested in these followers.

[@0periodproductions]

I intentionally only wanted Lucien for the full Playthrough, so while I will be covering various followers, it'll usually be focused on their new content, and I'd discuss main questline interactions and the like in the review portions

[@mrplet]

@@0periodproductions I would suggest taking a look at other followers as well, like Xelzaz, Remiel, Sa'chil, Gore, Khash, Yazakh or Redcap. They all are amazing and a joy to have in a playthrough! A lot of them also have interactions between each other, which is super neat

[@hthtss]

Nothing against romance/wifu mods or the mod author, but this one feels like character assasination, Serana sounds more like a rebel teenager than an ancient Vampire.

[@DuskEx]

yeah, this mod is such an insult to OG Serana

[@Archangelgamer1997]

Prefer to think of it as a completely different version of the character instead of a “add on”

[@Guymanbot97]

I will say that I do feel this is the .ost "gf simulator" companion since Willow for NV. But I do gotta give praise for just HOW MUCH stuff the mod author did for it. If I wanted a more lore friendly expansion for Serana I would use "Relationship Revamped" mod. While it uses a primitive AI voice for her, it's probably the closest thing to a vanilla personality romance we will get.

[@forcedparalysis1746]

Bro you're so funny. I love your comments on all this dialogue

[@viator_eagle5936]

George I think you're doing the mod a disservice by not including the normal Dawnguard questline, as it does explain her dialogue at the start of the video. Still funny to watch as always. Edit: NVM might have spoken to soon XD.

[@MLPDethDealr32]

I know right. Im redoing Dawnguard and having this mod installed is too much fun XD.

[@Keyboard_Warrior69]

Idk why there's so much negative comments. I love OG Serana as much as anyone but this mod just has so much more personality and I honestly couldn't play without it.

[@0periodproductions]

It really comes down to what you want from Serana. If you want something more like the vanilla character, mods like Serana Dialogue Edit exist. Marty created his own version of Serana, one that clearly works for a lot of people out there. As always, modding comes down to what you want out of your game, so mod accordingly.

[@moonrivervayonetta]

Dialogue in depth is better. Personality wise it's a flip of a coin sometimes good, sometimes well questionable

[@hellokatyfac3]

The original serana, her lore and backstory, and especially the whole daughter of coldharbor thing REEEEEEALLY do not lend itself to her being lovey-dovey, domestic and... honestly this aggressive, romantically. It's got a LOT of personality, but this is the one sort of person for whom crowbarring in a romance REALLY feels icky.

[@Myrrdin]

i could reach out to the mod maker or another modder to replace this mod’s lines. i have a program which flawlessly copies peoples voices

[@dkirby9052]

@@chloe-historyandgames What made Serana so special in Dawnguard was two fold. Unlike all the other followers in Skyrim Serana had some depth. The writing around her was just better. And Laura Bailey is a very talented and prominent voice actor. I assume you are talking about an AI program that copies voices? I just doubt it will come across the same as having a real person voicing those lines.

Krysten did such a great job to me. With SDA if you do House of Horrors she has special dialogue. Also, sorry but its better doing not only Dawnguard but the entire game with this along side it.

As epiclolman57 stated: "This feels like it changes Serana's character more than expands on it." I couldn't agree more. It just isn't the Serana I am used to traveling with. And for me - this is just me - the voice acting grates on my ears. Are there any other extended dialogue mods out there for her?

I want to know this as well. Really went from badass deep and personal, to anime waifu cringe. Though the talent is undoubtable

[@bocconom]

@@Fiemus9 Well stated.

[@guitarfan01]

There are. Serana Dialogue Edit keeps her original personality and just expands on her commentary. Serana Dialogue Expansion does the same thing but is newer and uses ElevenLabs instead of splicing.

[@SpacePirateLord]

"Barkeep, I'd like a wench." I see Serana likes the Immersive Wenches mod too. 😆 Perfect for Survival honestly, especially with all the food and buffs and extra npcs that can run an inn when the owner is asleep (they also work with Become a Bard).

[@jimbobbyhutchinson313]

Why would you start this showcase with the mod already more that half way through? The first scene you show you're dropped right into a part when a TON of relationship building has already occured with her. I love your showcases, but to me this is an odd choice.

[@0periodproductions]

Because 90% of the Dawnguard story would be exactly the same even with the mod installed, which would likely lead to a significant drop off in views. Or editing around the vanilla content to only show the new stuff from the mod which would be incredibly time consuming and probably not flow well at all. Which is why I mention that I'll discuss my experience of the Dawnguard components in the review.

[@Gingerlocks35]

So curing serana basically does nothing new, gotcha.

I thought you said you were gonna wait until all the main updates for SDA were complete. Did you change your mind? Or did Marty finish the updates already? I haven't been keeping track of the dev roadmap recently.

[@0periodproductions]

The updates from here will be for adding commentary to Daedric quests and some other quest mods, but everything that I would want to be able to show off for videos is in the current build. I definitely recommend checking his site when you get a chance, seeing that there's planned updates for Vigilant, Lucien, etc is really interesting to read about.

[@zondrabarth4508]

@@0periodproductions Oh I have been checking his site for a while, I know of all the future plans. I've just lost interest with the mod as of late, so I don't know if anything has changed or not. 😅 But that makes sense, there's still a bunch of mini-content in the current build. Glad you're showing it off. And Kerstyn's acting is still stellar, looking back. 🙂

Why start the video at the end of the story? She comes off strong as fuck in the beginning of the video because Zero Period starts it at the end of Dawnguard DLC once the character development and relationship building is already done.

[@0periodproductions]

Because 90% of the Dawnguard story would still be the exact same with the mod installed, which means either some really jumpy editing to show off just the new stuff, or showing Dawnguard in full which might not do as well for views. Which is why I said I'd bring up my thoughts on the Dawnguard components during the review

[@honinakecheta601]

Ik some people dislike this mod, and that's their opinion but as a replacer to the original character I think its okay. It adds a lot more the character, and more than just that it basically replaces her with a more fleshed out npc. As for the romance... that aspect is optional, very rarely in my own playthrough do I go down that road, you can just remain a platonic companion of serana which I prefer tbh

[@idfkwhatyouwantfromme]

It's just... I'm prepared to get crucified for this on what is primarily a TES modding channel but vanilla Serana, like most of Bethesda's characters except Ulfric, are boring and any personality the fandom gives them is usually through headcanon and memes. They just spout some mundane bullshit at you and exist to give you fetch quests. Even Serana's like that thanks to the criminally short Dawnguard questline and Bethesda's formula. Like, I get it but I grew up with Bioware games mostly and even though they peaked hard years ago, their characters usually leave more of an impact on you. Same reason why I'll never understand the modding subreddit constantly throwing shade at the interesting npcs mod.
