Guards the only ones to comment on achievements

Last time I played Skyrim I got really bugged by the guards being the only ones to comment about anything that I'd done, has anyone made a mod which allows other NPCs with the same voice to use the same greetings?

Guard Dialogue Overhaul - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/23390/? -

"GDO now makes some, but NOT ALL, of the guard comments available to some other NPCs who share the same voices. This is only done with those comments that could reasonably be considered to not be guard specific and is done without interfering with normal NPC dialogue at all so there’s NO possibility of conflict from this addition."

Of course it does more than just that - "This Mod alters the Guards' Dialogue, changing it from something that breaks your immersion in the world of Skyrim to something that actually increases it. All in the original voices and Fully compliant with Skyrim Lore.

GDO fixes All the Skyrim Guards dialogue bugs and does much, much more.

GDO alters the effect that Skyrim Guard dialogue has on the mood of your game. Rather than annoying you, guards will enhance your experience of the game and increase your immersion in the world of Skyrim by properly recognising your actions and not making disrespectful comments to a character that they are supposed to respect.

GDO does not remove any comments from the guards’ vocabulary; they will still be just as rude and mocking to you at the start of the game as they always have. However, once your character has completed quests that earn the guards’ respect, their attitudes will begin to change, getting better and better to the point that, once your character is a legend in Skyrim, they will be respectful, grateful and sometimes even nervous in your presence.

GDO unlocks much guard dialogue that was never or only very rarely used due to overly restrictive conditions in the game. This is not a bug, but rather a design choice made by the Bethesda developers that I disagree with. This means that there will be much more variety in what the guards will say than you will be used to from before GDO. Many people will never have heard some of the comments before, and others will only have heard them very rarely in limited circumstances.

GDO adds dialogue options for your character to use, once you are respected, if guards berate you for shouting or dropping weapons.

GDO prevents guards from getting stuck in a loop where they say nothing but “What is it?”.

I didn't expect a reply so quickly, many thanks :)

GDO looks great, has anyone made a similar mod which fixes up the guilds so you don't get all the condescending dialogue when you're guildmaster?

I do have one much more unlikely request, the way most of the NPC's spout their name and occupation instead of just saying hello was another bugbear, is there a mod (other than reduced greeting distances) which has tried to tackle this?
