PS: I've been told that the AI-voice hatred is more spread than I thought. I already said this in the mod page but I'll say it here again: This is a non-profit project. I did this out of pure passion with whatever tools I had at my disposal (and spent money too). I do not mean to insult actual voice actors with the use of a videogame mod made by a studient. I just want you guys to enjoy the experience. And if you don't, then more power to you. 💪
Special thanks to Richardjonsen for making the port to LE 👌
I'm just starting a new playthrough on LE after completely redoing my mod list, and I was really happy to see this here after having played it on SSE. I've played with every Serana mod available, and never for more than a single playthrough, because they tend to re-write her character too much. This mod feels like a more fleshed out version of the character we met in Dawnguard. It just feels... Right...
It doesn't turn her into an alcoholic sloot with daddy issues, a romance conquest, or a sadistic, evil vampire psychopath that wants to slaughter, and/or defile (Yes, I even tried THAT mod...) all her enemies, but rather it takes what's already there, builds on it, and makes having her around a much more enjoyable experience. I honestly don't mind the AI voice (It's actually really well done in this mod) and I'm glad there isn't a marriage option, because it just doesn't fit Serana as a character. I don't see her walking into a Temple of Mara as a vampire, and going through with a wedding ceremony, and I've never once cured her of her vampirism, because that never felt right to me either.
If you haven't tried this mod already, I would encourage you to do so, because it's extraordinarily well-written, well implemented, and feels like it should have been part of the game all along. As far as I'm concerned, that's what makes a great mod. 11/10, absolutely fantastic job!
This mod really deserves more attention, among all Serana Dialogue Mods your mod made the best and most faithful representation of Serana. It really portrait perfectly her and i'm really looking forward to see future improvements, mainly about how you will work romance with her. Thanks for you work, this sure will have a fixed place in my modlist
Also sorry if my english is not the best, its not my main language.
Amazing mod, and kudos for also having it port on LE ! just wanted to add a suggestion, could it be possible to add some other lines for combat ? Cause when you have been a Serana simp since forever like me, the "DoNe AnD dOnE" and "WhEre dU CoMe FrOm ?" are so repetitive its almost annoying, adding some other phrases could help greatly for variety !
Hahahaha! I don't know. If per chance I was done with an update and still had some characters left, I could consider, but I'm not sure if AI will make her new battle screams sound natural. I'll look into it and add this to the fan suggestions notes.
Love the mod so far, amazing work! I just have one question.
Since your update included Serana interacting with other followers like J'zargo and Mjoll, do you have plans somewhere down the line to do the same with Miraak via Miraak - Dragonborn Follower mod? Would love to hear her thoughts about how we used the Bend Will shout to make him our follower, and exchanging dialogues with him like with Mjoll and J'zargo while going places.
So far, I don't have plans to make Serana mod aware. I still want to cover more vanilla content and, more importantly, write and release the romance add-on. Once all my long-term plans are finished, I may start making mod aware content, but it won't happen for a long time. Sorry.
Love the mod bro. I really like that you still keeping Laura Bailey as her VA using AI. Otherwise SDA is also a great mod, But it just feels like SDA serana is too flirty for me, and it wasn't the serana I know XD, but this one you made is feels just right for me. And the marriable option was just right to since she still remembering her past, and trust me IT'S NOT CRINGE. I really support you on this bro i just hope there will be an romance update soon for this. Because, yes she don't want to marry in the temple. But it doesn't means she don't want to be always by the dragonborn side.
Question: Will the AI recognize if you use a different Serana replacer? In your last update video there's a scene where Valerica mentions Serana has blue eyes when she's cured. I use Seranaholic 1.6, which turns them green. I was wondering if, in that case, the AI would recognize the fact
Sadly no. In the vanilla game Serana's eyes by default are blue when she's cured, and the Universal Cured Serana Eye Fix mod also makes them blue, so I decided to go with that. My mod cannot detect other mods. Sorry :(
It's all pre-recorded voice lines. Always has been. *Bang*
That's fine. I think that either the Seranaholic guy thought her eyes eyes were green because of the bug that turns her whites yellow, or he just really likes green eyes.
I haven't tried yours yet, but there's other replacers I can use.
se nota que es un gran mod pero solo deseria lo tradujeran al español tener a serana con dos idiomas ocasina bug raros y si algo sobran son bug raros en skyrim para que crear mas jajajajajjajajaja
En la versión de SE creo que hicieron una traducción. Si usas el CK creo que puedes hacer un parche de traducción tú mismo. De todas formas el doblaje español es muy "meh", sinceramente (sin ánimo de faltar al respeto a los dobladores. Sinceramente creo que de haber tenido un mejor director de doblaje hubieran podido hacer una mejor interpretación). Por eso para mí me vale más la pena jugarlo en inglés.
Could you please tell me if something similar can be done for Valerica in the future? Especially her dialogs with Serana and with Dovakin after all Dawnguard questline quests.
Sadly, no. I don't plan on making a Valerica Dialogue Expansion, nor I can come up with any new interactions between her and Serana to add in future updates. There's still so much left to expand with Serana and so little free time (I had a good break during christmas, but now's back to University). But I'm sure someone will. It's not that complex once you get the hang of it :)
Pretty good mod for Serana fans out there. However, I'm curious if this mod fixes the issue regarding Serana's hidden dialogue when starting the quest "House of Horrors". I can't seem to initiate that dialogue that I have to download SDA. I really appreciate you still manage to retain Laura Bailey as her VA and I wonder if I should switch to this mod instead?
Wait, there's a hidden dialogue in the vanilla game during the House of Horrors?? I thought SDA simply added that as part of the mod. Judging with how it was written, it seemed more consistent with Martymus' version of Serana than Bethesda's. Are you sure she was supposed to say something in the game originally? I haven't seen any audio file referencing that quest. At most, in the vanilla game you can tell her you worship him too after completing that quest before meeting her and she expresses her surprise.
Edit: I looked it up and Serana Dialogue Edit does something similar using in-game voice lines. Maybe that's what you meant (https://youtu.be/BdrgpCoHswA?si=h-AJnP22EtEQS5Eb). I think that mod and mine would mesh together pretty well, so you can download both
I've read about it on forums and had watched countless videos regarding this, but I'm not quite sure if that interaction is in the DLC or it is modded somehow. As far as I know, You can actually trigger it between the "Prophet" quest where you need to find the Moth Priest. the details pertaining to how the dialogue can be unlocked is somewhat vague to me, but I think it involves the dialogue asking her how did she became a vampire. For reference, here is a clip I found. Maybe the reason I can't trigger it is co'z I messed up or it is bugged when you clean up Dawnguard DLC in TESEdit.
TL:DR I love Laura Bailey's delivery so I'm definitely switching to this mod than SDA.

It's fine, english isn't my first language either. Some previous versions of this mod suffered from that 🥹

Always has been.

I think that the interaction you are referring to, and what I also mentioned, is this one, which is unlocked when you complete the quest:
In any case, I'm glad my mod caught your interest. I hope you enjoy!
