HackWithTHeJacket Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 An idea I'd been having for what would make a more appropriate finale for the game. The entire point is in finding harmony between these complex political actors so they can properly harmonize, unite, and stomp their opponents into dust. But, that doesn't carry over to the companions. Not only do your companions never interact at all*, but there's no way to bring them all along in the final battle. Yes, there are mods for this, but nothing that lets each person work where they'd do best. You could have Veronica don full Brotherhood armor and go to town alongside her brothers, have Raul, Lily and Rex flush out the tunnels, killing anyone dumb enough to walk in, have Boone join up with the snipers, pick a good spot and go to town, have Arcade personally administer first aid (or don the power armor himself), and have Cass and Ed-E back you up as your march in to shove your fist straight up the Legions ass. *I would love to see some conversations between Arcade and Veronica about growing up the way they did, swapping stories, and both of them tinkering on Rex. Or Raul and Lily reminiscing about their past and their loved ones. Or Boone and Cass talking about home, Boone talking about his wife, and both talking about what they'd do if they had 5 minutes, a Ballistic Fisto, and a Legion Recruit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullyvanj93 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 The problem is, I doubt the actual voice actors are available to make such a mod seem realistic in the slightest. Now if you have someone that can do extremely accurate impressions of the cast of the base game, im sure a bunch of modders would LOVE to use their talents.

HackWithTHeJacket Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 I think most of them you could reappropriate other dialogue files, maybe creatively splice them enough to just give them a generic but fitting response in the situations. Boone and Lily would be dead simple, I doubt they'd need to say anything, besides Lily's usual psychotic yells. Raul and Cass would be more difficult, but they do have enough of a talkative streak to them that I could reappropriate some dialogue from the audion files already in there. Might sound a little weird, but I should be able to make what they say fit the situation and actions. Raul's dialogue when he gets told to stay put would be very useful. And of course, Arcade naturally excuses himself by following his own path. Heck, if we couldn't string anything together for Cass, we could just say she refused to join the battle sober, and any discrepancies in her voice is just because she's hammered. Hardest part would be Veronica. Its not at all in character for her not to have a uniqueand wiseass comment on the situation, and actually helping the Brotherhood take part in a war that puts them back into the world, protecting the land as a force for good, is something that it would just not fit for her to not talk about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
