SCORN - Skyrim Consistently Oppressive and Rewritten Narrative (Alpha Release)

View File

---

SCORN rewrites Skyrim's dialogue for a colder, meaner world, one that runs on power and patriarchy. NPCs talk down to you, even when you are dragonborn. Guards threaten instead of warn. Merchants size you up. Men assume authority; women get reminded where they stand. Nobody here thinks the Dragonborn is chosen. You claw for every scrap of respect you get.

 

The world of SCORN

 

• The world is patriarchal and openly sexist. NPCs address the player as a woman and treat her as lesser for it: dismissive, possessive, or leering, depending who's talking.
• Jarls, guards, and shopkeepers speak from above.
• Quests, Scenes, and ambient dialogue rewritten to match the tone
• Written for a female player character. Most of the dialogue assumes the Dragonborn is a woman and reacts to her as one
• Deliberately dark and openly misogynistic in tone by design. Expect demeaning dialogue directed at the player and at women in the world
  • Language is not quite as intense as Sexist Vanilla, Sexist Guards, or Misogynistic Guards; if you want to use any of those, just load them after this mod.

 

ACTUAL VOICE LINES

 

Gorm, in Morthal's hall:
  VANILLA: Mind your manners in this hall, friend.
  SCORN:   Mind your manners in this hall, friend. And anyone who forgets their place will be reminded of it. Firmly.

 

Balgruuf, to his housecarl Irileth:
  VANILLA: Heard about that, did you? Yes, I went out for a pint or two. What of it?
  SCORN:   The gate guards report to you now, do they? Yes, I went out for a pint. A Jarl does not account to a woman, Irileth.

 

A Windhelm market vendor:
  VANILLA: I hope you have coin to spend, and you're not just here to gawk at my goods.
  SCORN:   Hope you've coin to spend, girl, not just here to gawk.

 

Praise, at the mine:
  VANILLA: You work hard, Daighre. Glad you have stayed with us.
  SCORN:   You pull your weight. Didn't think a woman would.

 

Alvor, at the Riverwood forge:
  VANILLA: The grindstone will improve your weapons. Use the table to improve your armor.
  SCORN:   The grindstone will improve your weapons. Use the table to improve your armor. Mind the forge without a man watching.

 

An Ivarstead local who'd rather you left:
  VANILLA: Is it absolutely necessary for you to bother me right now?
  SCORN:   Is it absolutely necessary for you to bother me right now? I'm working. Go find something useful to do, girl.

 

A city guard, reminiscing:
  VANILLA: I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee...
  SCORN:   I used to be an adventurer like... well. Not quite like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee.

 

A Shield-Sister, in Jorrvaskr:
  VANILLA: Don't let them intimidate you, sister. We both know how to keep our heads while the men let their hearts rule.
  SCORN:   Don't let them get to you, sister. Men fight with their hearts. We keep our heads. That's our way.

 

Mirabelle Ervine, at the College of Winterhold:
  VANILLA: The College of Winterhold has been a fixture in Skyrim for thousands of years.
  SCORN:   The College has stood here longer than your bloodline. Treat it with respect.

 

A thief in the Ragged Flagon, on growing up:
  VANILLA: I'll tell you about the time I was a young girl, barely out of her teens... living on a pig farm in the middle of nowhere.
  SCORN:   I'll tell you about the time I was a young girl, barely out of her teens... living on a pig farm in the middle of nowhere. Back then, a girl like me had two choices: starve, or sell herself.

WHAT'S BEEN CHANGED
 

SCORN goes after the dialogue you actually hear, not a percentage of the game's total. Around 1,900 lines rewritten so far, weighted to the high-traffic stuff:

 

• City ambient & street chatter: Whiterun, Windhelm, Riften, Solitude, Markarth, and the smaller towns
• Innkeepers, merchants & barter: greetings, haggling, services
• Guards: challenges, threats, idle lines
• Jarls & their courts: Balgruuf, Elisif, the war-camp leaders, stewards and housecarls
• Faction questlines: Companions, Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, College of Winterhold
• Quest and follower dialogue across the main locations

USE OF AI
 

(I add this for transparency, because I like to be transparent. Please be kind, and if you don't like this mod or how I approached it: ignore it, improve it, or make your own.)

Writing is largely AI generated for broad sweeps, with some manual rewrites here and there. Voices are generated with Inworld TTS. A language model wrote the lines against a fixed tone brief, matched to each line's original Skyrim voice type, so gender, race, and unique NPC voices stay intact. Voice quality varies. Point out the rough ones.

REQUIREMENTS
 

• Skyrim
• Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch (USSEP)

INSTALLATION
 

1. Install with a mod manager and run the FOMOD installer.
2. Select:
   1. SCORN Core: the rewritten dialogue and voices (required)
   2. Compatibility patches: tick each listed mod you already run (see below)
3. Sort your load order, Let other mods overwrite SCORN, place patch plugins directly above the mods that they are patching. Allow other conflict patches to overwrite SCORNS

COMPATIBILITY PATCHES
 

Optional plugins that let SCORN's rewrites coexist with other dialogue-affecting mods. Each carries the other mod's conditions and SCORN's text. Some expand SCORN balances to the mods themselves. FOMOD should auto select, if not select only those matching mods you have:

 

• At Your Own Pace: Misc, Companions, Dark Brotherhood, Dawnguard,Thieves Guild, Unbound
• Open College of Winterhold
• The Choice Is Yours
• More Dialogue Options
• Misc Dialogue Edits
• Missing Follower Dialogue Fix
• Quest Fixes
• Skyrim Unbound
• Alternate Perspective
• Trailblazers (More NPCs)
• BUVARP SE RE (+ Chronicles of the College)
• Dawnguard - Tweaks and Enhancements
• Scriptures of the Dragon Cult
• Taste of Death
• Requiem
• AI Overhaul
• SR Exterior Cities
• Immersive Rejections
• SexLab Solutions
• Sexlab Confabulations
• SexLab Skooma Whore
• Deviously Vanilla

 

Running a dialogue mod that isn't listed? If it doesn't touch the same
vanilla lines SCORN rewrote, no patch is needed. They coexist on their own.

STATUS
 

Evolving and now slow-moving project. v0.3.0, base dialogue release. Coverage prioritizes the lines you hear most and grows each version. Feedback on tone consistency and any out-of-character lines is genuinely useful. DDR enhancement will be revisited at a later date.

Just checked, no conflicts with SDA - i have avoided making very significant changes to Serana lines so far. just a couple subtle changes where is makes sense. 

During the passes i tried to focus primarily on lines/scenes that went AGAINST the typical LMAO/SLS type of cannon, to make those types of mods feel more organic in the world of skyrim and less like the PC is the only one being hated on. so less make skyrim worse, more make skyrim less good in a sense

HI, i use use sexlab solutions. but for ostim.


and your mod says that Sexlab.esm is missing, for this mod. the dependence should be just the  sexlab solutions.  am i wrong?

I didnt know that there was an ostim version, and also honestly didnt consider ostim users. that said if you can point me to the ostim version url i could probably fix that np.

there are many ostim converions now. the esp is the same. but works for ostim.   

version of sexlab solutions for ostim?

the version for ostim don't change the esp of the mod, like seslab solutions or confabulations, or sisterhood of dibella.  those esps are the same. just their masters changed, from sexlab to ostim.


i learned how to do those conversions myself. in the future i will convert many sexlab mods for ostim as i can..

Very nice, when I see mods like this it makes me update my load order. Hopefully this one gets many updates. With Sexlab Survival unfortunately in the past, something like this to bring that same savage atmosphere into Skyrim is most welcome. The harsh dialog of Survival was always my favorite aspect of that mod, so this mod paired with similar ones (when compatible, or even recommended) would be amazing.

 

Hope to see this project get massive and spread scornful tendrils into every corner of Tamriel.

[jacobdg02]

Always loved simple dialog replacers, this is great. For anyone reading, I play on Nefaram 17.0.7 with both slaverun reloaded comments and sexist guards and this works fine if you follow install instructions

[AezakmiSi]

Hello,

I got Deviously Vanilla addon (in MO2 plugins as Deviously Vanilla - AIO.esp) but the patch from SCORN's FOMOD wants Deviously Vanilla.esp instead. Any solutions yet?

FIXED:  renamed    "Deviously Vanilla - AIO.esp"    --->    "Deviously Vanilla.esp"

If you're only rewritting dialog and not touching any dialog conditions, may i suggest that your mod use a mod like Dynamic String Distributor for distributing its content? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/107676?tab=files

 

This would minimize conflicts and allow better support or translations later.

Ive looked into it, I actually use its formatting with my workflow along with spriggit, I wasn't able to get certain parts of it to work in testing but I would like to try again at a later time.
