Do Automatrons have merchant diaologue/can they actually become merchants?

[maxarcade]

AFAIK since Automatron came out, Automatrons have been unable to become functioning merchants. You can assign them to merchant stalls but then they just walk over and keep the same dialogue options they had before. I've read speculation that it's because of the dialogue wheel limiting the options. I remember reading it was fixed in one of the patch version notes, but it wasn't. So... is it possible to fix this? Do any Automatron voice types even have options for being vendors? I remember in Skyrim you couldn't get certain voice types to become spouses or followers, so is it the same issue?

 

And side question if anyone knows, are there any unused voice types (or single use types like Tina de Luca's) that have settler diaologue that could be used for more settler variety?

After going through the automatron voice files for the female voices, no, they do not have dialogue for being merchants. Not sure about the male voices as I have not gone through them yet, but as there are fewer files for the male voice compared to the female voice, so I doubt it.
