lagennagen Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) I found myself wandering Boston on some random quest I wasn't terribly concerned with but nonetheless pursuing. Suddenly I saw a small building off in the distance and walked up to investigate. I come around the corner and low and behold, there sits a dormant sentry bot. My heart skips a beat with a sudden thought: "Surely, there is some way to make this thing my friend? Surely this game has some way to hack into this magnificent piece of mechanized doom and make it my ally henceforth?" I was horrified to find I was mistaken. No way no how, they are simply adversarial in nature. But I am a modder, and I do not take no for an answer!I would really like to see a sentry bot companion mod. Particularly I would like to see it integrated in a way that doesn't ruin the balance and feels logical for the universe and lore. For instance were I to try, I would set it up so that in a far-off corner of the map a small station sits with a sentry bot hooked up, and a terminal. It will be heavily defended by super mutants and maybe some turrets. There would be 3 primary ways of gaining access: hacking a very difficult terminal and switching it on, picking a very difficult lock to open a safe containing the password, or defeating a mini-boss in another location, that one of the super mutants would have a note for. The mini-boss would also have a copy of the password. Finally, I would want to have a repair cost that is slightly above what any given player would deem balanced. I say slightly above just to make absolutely sure it is well balanced. One additional note, the ability to name it would be nice. If no one else decides to make this, I will probably give it a try. I haven't ever made a decent companion mod, but my vision of this mod does not really include anything beyond using what is already present in the game. But even if I do try or multiple people decide to try it, go ahead. You never know when someone will do it better than you, or you them.Thanks for reading.

swatti Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Voicing from FO3 gutsy follower would be nice, those commie-jokes never get old... Or atleast in the first 20min or so. Its got two weapons right? Would be awasome to be able to change em to dual lasers, dual RPGs (with VERY low fire-rate) or dual miniguns via dialog... Cause, umm... REASONS!
