Ok so I entered the command to teach all creatures the full vocab, I really just wanted to teach my ettins. Now my norn population is consumed with whom likes or hates whom. I want to murder them all, but I am restraining my self. Is there a way to make the mangy buggers forget how to speak? >.<

Also interestingly enough, since they have learned to speak I have had zero pregnancies, and 3 starvation deaths. I'm pretty sure they are so consumed with talking that they are skipping other behaviors.

I am using CFF breeds, and I have brainfarter injected to no avail.

Try this, it reduces the random chance that a norn will express how it feels about another, resulting in fewer loops.

I don't think you can actually completely un-teach speaking. Genocide or Malkin's script edit are probably the only viable solutions.



For the next time, try a different classifier with your command. 4 0 0 are all creatures. You can narrow down the species with the second digit, the gender with the third.

Species: 0 - all, 1 - norns, 2 - grendels, 3 - ettins, 4 - geats
Gender: 0 - both, 1 - male, 2 - female

So if you only wanted to target, say, female grendels, you'd be going for 4 2 2. Next time you want only ettins to speak, you can use 4 3 0.

^ Exactly!

This kind of thing is actually what I wrote the cheat sheet for. ;)

I'd still recommend Malkin's script because it makes Creatures less annoying. Really... players shouldn't have to leave their Creatures uneducated just so they can avoid being driven crazy by the "like" loops. :\

That's how you get phantom creatures showing up in your HUD :P

I think the only reason why they made the chance for the 'spontaneous' expression so high was because the FORF lobe, as shipped with the game, wasn't working properly.

Well, as far as release problems go, I guess it's not as bad as OHSS. :P

Papriko: I actually do have a note at the bottom warning of what can happen if you use the KILL command. But the asterisks that corresponded to them seem to have disappeared from the cheats themselves. [ndoh] I'll have to fix that. It's no use including a warning if nobody sees it...
