TTW Companion

Risewild, I think that would be a cool idea to have Gob as a companion, since he is available early on in the game. I always wished there was a way to buy his freedom, like Sulik in Fallout 2.

Oh my god RIsewild; I might have to make Toshiro Kago happen.

I've decided I'm going to work on bringing ED-E to the DC wastes; and give it a radio broadcast/quest like how DLC quests are added so you can't miss him.

Playing the radio based off where you are; etc

Oooh, ED-E eh? His dialogue is literally just beeps and boops so the quality issues faced with the other mods of tha type won't pop up. Might try that one.

Getting it to work with one of those "Amata follower" type mods is a bitch and a half since you'll have a jarring break in the sound of their dialogue every time the game calls one of the new lines.

Not necessarily. If the existing NPC has a lot of voice lines, or they have a non-unique voice type, you can reuse the original lines for a variety of purposes. This is how all the extra dialogue lines for the "vanilla" characters follower mods work - Amata, Sydney, Sunny Smiles, etc.

It's still noticeable and is a large chunk of why I don't use such mods. Even if you do re-use in-game voice acting you're gonna have to break the words up and rearrange them to make the new dialogue...or use lines so generic that there's no point in saying them at all, which is the route Bethesda took with Serana in Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC.

But perhaps that's just the quality whore in me talking. A lot of people don't seem to care about the weirdness in the dialogue and use those mods anyway. I'd stick with Willow though. Call me odd if you want but I'd rather not use one at all than use one that was made by mismashing vanilla dialogue lines together.

if there is enough dialogue....mixing up 3dog or the presidents dialogue could be pretty funny if its possible. EDE using a recording of their voices to communicate. Even if its "off" as long as it is funny it could work.

No I totally agree. And since I don't have the audio settup to record the voices for a charecter myself a think a non-talking companion will be a good start.

It's going to be a lot of work; removing him properlly from FNV and then re-implimenting him. But once I get it down; if the reception is right; I might make a human companion or do something totally third party.

I would love to see the MZ people. If someone is willing to do some really big script work (Not me, I suck), after completion of The Replicated Man, buy a droid with certain personalities from Dr. Zimmer, some choices like General Chase, Jingwei, Montgomery, US soldier, Chinese soldier, US Civilian (Donned in Pre War clothing), Robco Employee, the possibilities are really endless. Plus with this route, new voices can be recorded because it is a new NPC, therefor broadening what interactions they have with commenting even further.

I say, I really like this suggestion. Could have some with it too. Random stuff like "Must be nice to have a slave to carry your stuff." "I have feelings, you know, I'm not just your pack brahmin." Or when you enter Paradise Falls they remark on humans enslaving their own kind as well.
