Talkative Kenshi | An Ambient Dialogue Overhaul
Talkative Kenshi is a mod aimed to make Kenshi more immersive and lively. Talkative Kenshi uses INTERACTIONS PLUS by NEO as a framework to overhaul Kenshi’s ambient dialogue system. Most NPC’s will now be intractable with dynamic dialogue and squad members will now speak amongst each other.
What is ambient dialogue? Ambient dialogue is dialogue spoken by NPCs as you pass by them, usually at random and without prompt.
Talkative Kenshi is still just a proof of concept. The current state of TK is a culmination of everything I’ve learned about the FCS tool over the past year through trial and error. It’s not perfect but it’s in a state where I’m happy building upon it.
Previously I’ve released a roadmap for TK, this roadmap was rushed and not well thought out, while most of the concepts are still planned, many others fell to the limitations of FCS. It’s very frustrating working on something for 7 hours just to either have to cut it or repurpose it because of the limitations FCS imposes, for this I will not be releasing a roadmap. If you are interested in planned updates and features/ announcements, check the comments, patchnotes or discussions.
Please leave suggestions and feedback to make this mod better. Thank you for checking out TK.
I’ve started working out which Dialogue mods are compatible and pair well with TK, so I created a collection with the soul purpose of completely overhauling Kenshi’s Dialogue. This can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2927490951.

Neo’s statement on permissions and reuploading:
"-It is an honor to me that my project was used as a base framework for other projects like CTF Dialogue on Steam, and then that one was incorporated into another bigger project (I think). This is partly what inspired me to create this big update. Because I love this game and I want to see more cool content for it. So feel free to modify this mod and make it better as you see fit.
If you are going to reupload this mod to another site or include it in your project, all I ask is to credit and provide my patreon link above in your mod description, along with the credits.
That’s all.
I hope you enjoy my work!"
