"Blank Slate" Synth and costumes

[CoreyN11388]

I remember the last time I played FNV and I had a few costume mods that added a ton of costumes of famous people and heroes, and a few matching weapons.

 

Basically, I think it would be cool if there were two companion Synths, one male, one female, that were basically blank slates. You could only have one following you at a time between the two, but the one you choose also wouldn't count against having a normal companion, (if it's even possible to have both of those conditions). The mod would also have a ton of famous costumes and signature weapons you could equip to the Synth, (if that character has one). Like, a Captain America costume, and his shield. Wolverine and claws that he swung like a melee weapon and have bleed damage. Vader and his lightsaber (I know there are 2 mods you can use to equip the Vader/lightsaber stuff to a companion or yourself already). Commander Shepard (M and F version) in N7 armor with a mass effect type weapon. Black Widow with the dual electric batons. Spiderman, (the FNV mod had tons of versions), though I doubt any easy way of making web shooters exists, even if using Scarlet Spiders different, more weapon-ish, types., so likely the SM ones would just rely on you giving them w/e weapon you feel like. Thor and Mjonir (with a shock effect). Wonder woman. Elektra with twin Sai. I even figure Gambit from X-Men would be bada**. The staff would maybe be easy enough, but the exploding cards might be tricky, but they could be projectiles with the explosive bullet effect. Many more examples are out there, but I loved that set of mods and wish to continue into the CommonWealth with them!

 

Each Synth would have basic, across the board stats, nothing being better than anything else, and just being a mid range companion basically. Their true power would lie in the costumes. See, the other thing that set of mods I used had, was that the costumes added stats depending on the costume. So, SpiderMan would have more melee/strength and perception. Superman would have massive strength/melee and fast movement speed. Hulk or Juggernaut could be slow, but have a lot of HP and resistance. Etc...based on the hero. This means that with each costume, their bland, across the line stats, would change to fit a role on your team. Want someone tanky to charge in and take damage while you stay back to inflict it? Equip Hulk, or Juggernaut. Want pure damage? Superman or SM costumes would do. Want someone with good damage, can take some hits, heals HP back fast, and does a lot of fast hits close range? Better throw on Wolverine and his claws. All armors could have appropriate armor/resistances to also fit the role. Obviously, a Superman outfit would give much more resistance and armor than say, a Black Widow jumpsuit.

 

I am in college for programming, but I'm just starting out so I have no skills toward this whatsoever yet, or I'd make it for people to enjoy. I'm more of an idea/story type guy anyways. I think many people would enjoy this, and they'd be able to have a companion that fits into a role that they customize, and is there for mainly looks and cool factor!
