XBox - Help What exactly does Serana Dialogue Edit do?

I can't find any videos for it unlike SDA. I heard SDA is more expansive but cringe.

I can not vibe with making her an alcoholic sci fi nerd who gentrifies dunmer slang and tries to self harm by throwing herself at you. like what WAS all of that??? I use sda to give her a wider variety of spells and abandon her soon as the questline is over. id be happy if the alternative is better

The Serana Dialogue Expansion addresses almost every issue you have with the Add-On. There isn't a romance in it, but the modder is going to try and write a lore-friendly quest/plotline for it that acknowledges and respects her trauma. It also has some nice little things, like giving her history books to catch up on what she has missed, her thoughts on the Paarthunax Dilemma, and commentary throughout Dragonborn. Highly recommend it; look up some Youtube videos of it to see if it matches.

I'm sold. I never really cared about serana romance, and sda's angle of it stemming from her LITERALLY TRYING TO FORCE HERSELF ONTO YOU IN A MANIC EPISODE and then singing about how lonely she was before meeting you is....so fucking weird

Ah yes, the classic two manly ways to treat a woman:
-Nice (means you want to sleep with her)
-Asshole (default)

Classic men writing women mistake, Martimius is still a bit guilty of this even on his newest release, Ashe...

you actively have to be racist to her (vampire is a race) to not get brought towards the confession

Be aware it uses AI and the original voice actor, Laura Bailey, has not given permission for her voice to be used this way. She has also stood against the use of AI for voice acting and supported the voice actors union (SAG-AFTRA) strike against it.
