TziporaHalevi Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) I am going to start on my first mod, kinda crazy to start with something this huge but I wanna do it anyway. I am going to need a lot of help though getting started as figuring out where to look is kinda making my head explode.. I'll also have to track down some of the children's clothes makers for permissions.. XD This mod is going to be a fully voiced child companion based off of my Lexi. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/PlatinaBaphomet/ScreenShot106.jpg http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/PlatinaBaphomet/ScreenShot256.jpg http://newvegasnexus.com/imageshare/images/2552646-1305786073.jpg Lexi is a very intelligent and energetic little girl that is very talented with guns! She is a mod I will be using differently in my own game as she is supposed to be my courier's daughter by blood. However I want to add her to an orphanage as a child that grows fond of the Courier after doing some quests for the Matron. The child can than be used as a companion that will follow you around and she will have quests, things she wants to see and you can spoil her rotten! Of course a post-apocalyptic wasteland is really no place to raise a kid but at the same time the place is so dangerous it's best they start learning how to survive early, and nothing is more educational than on the job training. About Lexi: Alexandria or Lexi (which you can choose to call her) is very polite and very curious about the world and all it has to offer. She wonders what happened to her real parents and various places will bring up memories from her subconscious as you travel with her. After enough of these objects or locations are visited to spark a clearer picture of being like 3 she will tell you she has a good idea about what happened to her parents and ask to visit the place where they died. At this point she may attempt to leave you, or you can convince her (easy speech check) to stay by telling her you love her as if she were truly of your blood. Thus you've gained a permanent follower. Lexi is very obedient but her respect and love towards you will determine her tactics and how long she's willing to wait for you before trying to come find you. You can also give her toys or something to read to keep her occupied. What I want Lexi to be able to do is sort of also act like the child at heart perk but better. She will be able to spark conversation with other wasteland children that can tell her secrets of where to find stuff that I will also be adding to the wastes. Seeing as she's still a kid, she is open to learning a lot of stuff and absorbing it a lot faster than an adult. Depending on the courier's stats or what companion you have travelling with you, you or they can instruct her to raise her skills in certain areas. Arcade can teach her science and medicine, Boone can teach her how to snipe, Veronica to melee, and Cass can give her a shotgun perk. Any advice that can be offered? I have an idea for a VA already but I'll also take auditions. I'd really love to do this mod! Edited May 20, 2011 by TziporaHalevi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozziefire Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Just a possibility with mods like this what if these actually got taller as they got older and you used some sort of time mod so you played over years instead of months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would actually be ideal to be honest. Would likely require a total overhaul of the game to increase the stuff to do allow for such a passage of time however. I'd hate to make the days shorter. I've always loved watching the next generation grow up in games and television shows. Edited May 20, 2011 by TziporaHalevi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomy999 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 man that is a cool idea she looks so cute :) , also will she play the guitar like misty companion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamaRCA Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I think this is a wonderful sounding idea for a mod, TziporaHalevi (I need a nick name for you! that is much shorter), do you have any GECK experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TziporaHalevi Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 call me Tzippy, haha. As for GECK, nope. I'm about to start doing some reading over the weekend on it. May take me quite awhile though since I'll likely be working on another companion if I have the time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamaRCA Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Okay, Tzippy, I will. Well, I didn't ask to discourage you I was just curious. Your idea reminds me of Willow, in that it's a much more alive character than most followers. That's always what I've wanted from a companion. I didn't know anything about the GECK about 18 months ago and started learning it because I came to the PC from the 360 playing FO3 and wanted to mod my favorite vanilla companion. I think it's helpful to have a clear goal and to know exactly what you are after (like you do). If you are determined to do it you can learn a lot. Good luck. I spent a lot of time in the Bethesda GECK forum searching for topics and reading about them. It's pretty dead over there anymore, but it's another source of information when you are looking to learn something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
