FAQs:
Q: Why did you create this? A: I don't like feeling like the most important person in the wasteland. There's no reason for every single NPC to stop whatever they are doing to engage in small talk with me just because I walk by. Once in a while it's to be expected, but every single NPC, every time? That's a bit much...
Q: Isn't there a mod already like this? A: There are several mods that are for the most part carbon copies of each other. Most make changes to a single game setting called "fAIMinGreetingDistance". This is insufficient as it only changes the minimum distance an NPC has to be from you to engage you, but fails to lower the actual frequency of their chatter. Some mods remove NPC chatter altogether, which may break quests.
In addition to "fAIMinGreetingDistance" I have also changed:
*The installer contains 4 different versions with individually adjusted values. Q: Is this compatible with...? A: This is fully compatible with anything that doesn't change fAIMinGreetingDistance.
