modsthe-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

In TES: Skyrim (Special Edition) with the Relationship Dialogue Overhaul mod, how do you figure out how well a relationship is with an NPC? I am trying to marry Lydia with the RDO mod but I do not know how well she is into my character. If I need to, how do I improve my relationship with her using the RDO mod?

Without console commands, the only way to see an NPCs disposition toward you is through their dialogue. Most NPCs begin with a score of 0, an acquaintance, and increase/decrease based on your dialogue choices. The console command to set an NPC to "like" you is getrelationshiprank player 4. You can then set them to be married to you by using the command addtofaction 19809 1. The command console is only available on PC.

Howver, with the RDO mod, NPCs will tend to use the friendlier dialogue options towards you if they are friendly with you. Read the dialogue options and keep picking what you think is best.

RDO also provides an alternative to dialogue options through its mod configuration menu. The menu is available if you are using SkyUI. From the MCM menu, you can alter an NPCs disposition or relationship with you, including making someone your spouse.
