Although they aren't skeletons, there are two really nice Feral Ghoul companions that you could use in the meantime. Gully the Feral Ghoul Companion http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37773 He's located in the Goodsprings Schoolhouse. No companion wheel, but you can tell him to Wait, Follow, Open Inventory, and return to the schoolhouse. Feral Ghoul Rex http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37684 This replaces Rex with a Feral Ghoul companion wearing a cute RobCo jumpsuit. He has all of the sounds and animations of a Feral Ghoul (including idle animations). His backstory is a bit like Frankenstein... or should I say Frankenweenie? *L* He's a Feral Ghoul that had his human brain replaced with the brain of a dog; which is a creative way of explaining why he has the same dialogue and quests as Rex!
