*Spoiler* as Robobrain head mod

[Dashael99]

At the end of the Cappy in a Haystack quest...

we find John-Caleb Bradberton's preserved and living head

... I thought it would be a cool solution to the presented dilema if we could put it on a robot body.

Was my thought, too. It could work somehow like this:

 

 

If you have completed the Automatron main storyline and sufficiently high science perks, you can say something like: "Hold up, Mr. Bradberton, I have an idea". You then have to get one robobrain head (the robot modification), plus some medical items (scalpel, surgical saw, tweezers, surgical tray, some antiseptic, ...). You then activate the head, the screen goes to black, and then it comes back up, the head is gone, and you have the unique robot modification "Bradberton's Head", and it then works just like for Jezebel.

or maybe you take his little capsule thing and put the whole jar on a robobrain

I like this one better.

If someone has a mod for this, I'd be willing to go back a few months to my save before I made the descision

The biggest problem will probably be splicing together new lines from his dialogue. On the other hand, if you go with just the brain, the voice is supposed to come from a voice module anyway, so it can be somewhat different. Then again, how much interaction do you want with the guy?

 

Here's a minimal concept, in case some actual modder actually reads this:

 

• for anything, you will need to at least be able to build the robobrain head
• if he is still alive, you get something like E) Talk R) Analyze". The latter gives you a messagebox: "With your newfound knowledge of robotics, you think transferring his brain into a robot should be possible [Medic 1, Intelligence 6, Robotics Expert 1]"
• if he is dead, you can still activate his head an get a messagebox: "The head seems to still be intact, you think transferring the brain into a robot might still be possible [Medic 3, Intelligence 9, Robotics Expert 2]"
• whatever you do (and if you have the required perks), you get a new quest: you have to gather some items (scalpel, surgical saw, tweezers, surgical tray, some antiseptic, ...) and a robobrain head (modification).
• If you have everything and activate the head, the screen goes to black and back again. The head is gone, and you get a unique robobrain head modification, just like Jezebel's head.
• The finished robot has lines spliced together from Bradberton's dialogue, but is otherwise just a regular automatron robot.
• The door to the weapon chamber opens, and Sierra behaves as if you had spared him.

 

An extended version could actually somehow include the whole "I will make you a robot" into his dialogue, use the head dome mesh for Bradberton's head modification, even have armor which fits the thing, and have the Bradberbot actually say some relevant stuff, maybe even do a quest for him.

 

 

edit: someone actually did this.... I think?

It's all chinese or japanese or whatever, seems like the mod author can't speak english, so that mod isn't really an option...

But maybe someone could translate it to english, or ask the chinese guy for the assets?

know this is kinda old now, but there is a mod that gives you an ability to download Bradberton's consciousness into a synth,
though that one mod with you put his head on the robot (the one in japanese) is pretty funny (yet scary too)

 

though in this mod, is little buggy with Sierra talking as brad is dead.. and he isnt really a companion,.. but still a start, (unless it got fixed in the recent update just last month. feb 2021
