Overview
Tired of reloading because you keep making Shadowheart mad at you? Are you failing DC checks because you always unwittingly choose the most difficult option? Paladin with 8 int who keeps accidentally breaking your oath because you can't understand what it said in that book? This mod is for you!
I've created localization files that combine these changes with the changes made by OrinEsque's excellent
No Alphabets mod as well as the Platonic Lingo file for
CrusaderKinght20's Better Romance.
Based on OIO - Overexplained Interaction Options.
Update 4/21/24
Updated for Hotpatch 25 and NoAlphabets 4.5. In the most recent update the author of OIO has added Ⓓ in front of all dark urge dialog options so you can tell what's dark urge specific dialog and what's just the character being mean. Personally I don't really see the need as 95% of the time it's pretty clear 'Rah! Build my castle of bones!' type stuff but in the process of updating the file I ended up making an updated version with the Ⓓ anyway so I've uploaded the versions with those as 'Durge Edition'

Installation Instructions
These files act as replacements for the localization files for No Alphabets and Better Romance. To install this mod first uninstall the lingo file for those mods
Then open the rar file, and remove the data file and place it here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Baldurs Gate 3
Or wherever you have the game installed.
► Details on Platonic Lingo Changed Files
Default Platonic lingo changes the following lines. I haven't changed the last 3 listed lines. The first 2 of those because I think they're fine and the last one because it actually triggers a -5 Gale approval which I think is more fitting with the original line. If someone really wants them changed let me know and I can put that together (or it's actually quite easy to do yourself, just follow the localization walkthrough on the NoAlphabets page)
