Contrary to what seems to be popular opinion among most of Starfield’s fan base, I actually love Sarah Morgan. I think she’s criminally misunderstood by those who dislike her, and I find that very disappointing because she is a great character, especially once you get to know who she really is. Also, Emily O’Brien’s voice is hot.
This mod aims to show my favorite underappreciated space explorer some love by enhancing and tweaking some of her dialogue lines. More random lines and quips have been added to a few of her dialogue pools, and some individual lines have been tweaked so they only occur under certain lore-friendly conditions. All dialogue additions reference preexisting lines which already exist within the game, so there’s no audio splicing or AI voice generation. Translations should also work automatically.
I’ve been sitting on this mod for a while, tweaking it and adding to it really only whenever I noticed something that should probably be changed. I haven’t systematically gone through each of her lines and done a full overhaul of her dialogue, just some tweaks here and there. Currently, the tweaks extend only to some of her random quips, so no quest dialogue has yet been edited. This is a work in progress and I’ll likely be adding to it in the future. If you’ve encountered some dialogue oddities you’d like to see fixed, or have any suggestions, please let me know!!
