This is a little mod I've thrown together that gives a pathway to turn his opinion of you around while backstage. You just need to have found the Vera blackmail tape, found out about Vera's medical condition (from the Suites), and have intelligence of at least 6. It uses bits of Dean's dialogue (no dialogue should be repeated), and you shouldn't really notice anything out of place.
