AutoTalk: Social Butterfly
Welcome to AutoTalk: Social Butterfly
Train negotiation passively, without the tedium.
Be the life of the party! Everybody will love (or hate) you!
See Notes (below) if you experience lag while running MoreNotifications
====================
AutoTalk: Core Function
====================
– Automatically chitchat with non-hostile NPCs without clicking at all.
– Passively gossips with valid NPCs within a short radius without needing to
directly interact with their dialogue.
– Uses the game’s own internal "Let’s talk" function, properly expending NPC
interest and stopping when they run out.
– Dynamically estimates the success rate of each gossip attempt per-NPC.
Only proceeds if the estimated success rate clears the acceptable threshold.
– Gossip radius starts at 2 tiles and grows with your BASE Negotiation skill:
3 tiles at 100 (maximum). Equipment and buffs don’t count.
– Valid targets are any non-hostile NPC capable of speaking.
– With the Animal Lover feat, you can AutoTalk with any creature that doesn’t
want to kill you!
– With Safe Mode off, AutoTalk proceeds regardless of success odds. Do this
at your own risk.
====================
AutoTalk: Core Toggle
====================
Default Status: ON
Default Toggle: LeftBracket `[`
– Enables or disables the Core AoE function entirely.
– Turn this off if you want AutoTalk to stop gossiping automatically
while keeping Safe Mode and other settings intact for later.
====================
Safe Mode
====================
Default Status: ON
Default Toggle: RightBracket `]`
– AutoTalk proceeds only when the estimated success rate is above the scaled
SafetyPercent threshold. It skips the NPC when odds are too low.
– SafetyPercent default is 50%. Configurable in the config file (see Notes).
– The effective threshold scales smoothly with NPC affinity:
Affinity 0 = 0% of SafetyPercent (always attempt, nothing to lose)
Affinity 50 = 50% of SafetyPercent
Affinity 100+ = 100% of SafetyPercent (full threshold, protect the friendship)
Negative affinity = 135% of SafetyPercent (high bar, avoid digging deeper)
– Prevents excessive affinity loss with high-value NPCs while allowing riskier
attempts on low-affinity ones.
– A full reference table is included in the mod folder: SafetyThresholdReference.txt
====================
Notes
====================
– Warning: If using MoreNotifications, make sure "Enable Notification Clearing" is ON
– If this setting is not enabled, excessive popup notification generation will cause lag
– Disabling Safe Mode is a great way to train negotiation while traveling or
running Nefia, fully leveraging all the random neutral spawns around you.
– DON’T FORGET: Turn Safe Mode back on before spending time with NPCs you have
cultivated strong relationships with.
– Negotiation skill is not required, but with no skill Safe Mode will block
most attempts due to low estimated success rates.
– You can change the Core and Safe Mode toggle keys in the config file.
– You can change the base SafetyPercent value in the config file.
– Changing SafetyPercent is not recommended unless you understand how it
interacts with the affinity scaling (see SafetyThresholdReference.txt).
– Config file location: ElinBepInExconfig — open with any text editor.
====================
HELPFUL MODS
====================
– Vanilla Elin notifications are limited. Install NPOu’s `MoreNotifications` for better visual feedback
– That mod is here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3371449391
