Rune of jokes

Adds an item that can be used anywhere and instantly triggers jokes between party members.

This mod adds a joke rune - an item that, when placed on the Quick Access Toolbar, instantly triggers jokes between current party members when used and can be used anywhere! The runu can be used indefinitely, and its duration is 10 seconds.

Runa can be purchased from the Trinket Shop in Lowtown (free) and appears in every act. However, since Trinket Shop sells no more than one rune at a time, you don't have to worry about its reserves growing. The mascot can be found in the "Available Items" section, the same place where the potions are usually located (for coding reasons, it is internally classified as a potion, not a mascot).

How to use this mod?

  Download mod and unzip 'DAE Rune of Banter' folder to override folder.

  Download the game, go to Lowtown and buy runes in Trinket Emporium (under "Available Items").

  Put the chat rune on the Quick Access Toolbar and enjoy the chat as much as you want!

You can also use the console:

If you can use the console: open the console (if you don't know how to do this, there is a manual on DA Wiki) and type 'runcript give_rob' (without quotes) to give yourself a rune. This needs to be done only once. Even if you don't have access to the console, you can usually buy them from Trinket Emporium. It's for those who need it faster.

What else should I know?

If you're playing Legacy or Mark of the Assassin DLC, you won't be able to do anything with runes in those areas because the usual bans are off.

Sometimes it will seem that nothing can be done about runes. This is due to the way the game handles jokes: Behind the scenes, each time a joke is triggered, the game generates a huge list of possible jokes that the current game may have, and randomly selects one. The more jokes you hear, the more likely it is that you will choose a joke you have already heard. If you choose a joke you've heard before, nothing will happen. If you've heard most of the jokes of the current game, you may need to use the runa two or three times before the last joke is played.

However, if you have used the Chat rune several times in a row and nothing has happened, then you have heard all the conversations of the current side. You may want to try seven or eight times before quitting to make sure it's not just bad luck. Don't forget also that new lepers open up when you perform quests for certain companions or move on to the new law. When you make sure you've heard them all, you can swap one or more party members to hear the jokes again.

Can I use this mod on existing recordings?

Of course you can! Go to Lowtown and buy runes at Trinket Emporium (under "Available Items"). You can also use the console.

Can I use this mod in non-English versions of the game?

Yes, but the runes are always in English. Sorry, runes are always in English. It still works fine.
