About this mod
CHARISMA IS NO LONGER A DUMP STAT! This NVSE plugin changes the way that dialogue check conditions display. Multiple conditions may now display in a single dialogue option/topic. Modified every single character in the game to have multi-condition checks!

~~~ Description ~~~
This NVSE plugin allows for multiple conditions to be displayed in a single dialogue topic. Dialogue options like the one below can now display in game:
"[Speech 100] [Science 100] Making this wasn't tedious in the slightest!"
There are two main components to this mod, an NVSE plugin that adds custom instructions for dialogue and a plugin file that changes every single skill check in the game.
Skill Checks, by the nature of adding more conditions, will be harder to pass. Expect to fail more often. The old Charisma 1-Speech 100 build isn't viable with this mod installed. Charisma, alongside other previously niche skills and attributes will be used far more often. Below, there is my criteria for when each condition is used...
The full changelog, alongside the source code for this project can be viewed here
~~~ Requirements ~~~
xNVSE 6.35
Fallout New Vegas DLC (for DLC version)
~~~ Installation ~~~
Install and enable with a mod manager, I recommend MO2.
If you choose not to use a mod manager:
- Checkmate.dll goes into Data/NVSE/Plugins
- Checkmate.esp goes into Data/
~~~ Compatibility ~~~
- Not compatible with bNoSkillTags in lStewieAl's Tweaks and Engine Fixes; make sure bNoSkillTags = 0
- You're not going to see it do anything for TTW. If there is a lot of support I'll consider doing all the checks for Fallout 3... Maybe...
- Should be compatible with all mods that don't touch dialogue

Making your own versions of Checkmate.esp isn't much different than just editing dialogue in vanilla. Feel free to upload your own .ESP's if you'd like.
Step 1: Open the G.E.C.K.
Step 2: Find an actor of your choosing and navigate to their dialogue options via Conversation Editor or Topics Window
Step 3: After choosing a Skill Check Topic, the AV/Perk Dropdown menu now functions as a True or False Selection. If something other than "NONE" is selected, your skill check will now appear.
Step 4: Add your desired conditions for the SUCCESS and FAILURE (if applicable) topics. GetActorValue on Target is the most common. For more info, Please check the README.
