[MOD REQ] Followers mod

[Maugwei]

It would be great to see a top notch Follower mod for this game. Im sure its planned and I dont really need to even request this. But I figured it would be a cool place to post my 2 favourite girls I wanna see as followers and see if you boys agree? And Man there are some really cute non companion NPCs Ive encountered in this game so far. Here are two to be exact: RAYNA MARQUEZ from the Den space station orbiting Chthonia. And Surprisingly a homeless girl in Neon lower level fish market, who is actually adorable called HUONG LE. I dont know how this adorable girl is still homeless, but my gawd I wanted to give her a home, Id even make her my main WAIFU were it possible with the current state of the game. Man, were gonna have a field day when the mods drop for this game! Edited September 15, 2023 by mattmwest

You are in luck. Pre-AI (older Beth games) "top notch" follower mods were never going to come from people with your 'interests'. The Venn diagram of the circle of people who say "waifu" and the people able to make a good follower mods did not intersect.

 

Now, with AI art, AI voices and AI dialogue generation, people whose imagination out-stripped certain 'abilities' can do what once was regulated to weird characters in TV cartoons, significant for being tech whizzes and always having 'holographic' 'girlfriends'.

 

It's going to take time, though. End of next year by the earliest, I'd guess, for something truly good. And your wildest dreams will come true within three years. You'll be able to talk to them and have them talk back to you as more interested people than anyone in your 'real' life. For the real-time chat, you may need a quite beefy GPU or a subscription AI service tailored for this exact use.

 

One cautionary note- many of us think this is not a good direction for Mankind to go in. What happens when significant numbers of people have a better relationship with synthetic entities than any person in real life. Experience teaches that 95%+ of Humanity (at least in the English speaking nations) cannot or will not make any effort in their conversations. But this same 95% mostly love it when someone shows 'interest' in them. A lazy shallow psychological response seemingly made for the age of AI personalities- 95% of people who will think their computer 'buddy' is inherently better than anyone in real life- what could possibly go wrong?
