MerlinCross Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 So, certain mods add companions and helpers to the game. But I've only played Vegas on normal settings. What happens if a mod gives me someone Essential but Hardcore mode is on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tefnacht Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Hi. That really depends on the mod. All the vanilla companions are specifically scripted to be mortal in hardcore mode. Its not something the game automatically applies to companions. I dare say most companion mods don't differentiate between normal and hardcore mode and behave the same either way. If the mod companion is designed to be essential, s/he will still be essential in hardcore mode too. If a mod author went all the way to make their companion support hardcore mode like vanilla companions do ... they would mention it in their documentation. Its quite a bit of extra scripting work. Using a essential companion in hardcore mode has no negative repercussions as far as the game is concerned. For example: You can still unlock the “Hardcore mode” achievement while using 'em. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
