Great, I can put up with pauses as long as they aren't mouthing the responses. My plan is to make them silent, customize their face, and change their name for my rp idea, I was gonna make whole new companions but in the end it seemed much easier to do it this way, since the vanilla companions are pretty much bug free (don't attack you randomly, can exit power armor, etc). Hope your mod goes well. By the way, I'm also kinda new to modding Bethesda games but console and mod with voice type should be the same, just use 0000002e in the mod and I believe it will work, I don't think you can leave out the 0's in FO4edit.
