Child of Atom Companion

[MaesterAelix]

Hello there Modding Community.

I was wondering if anyone out there is willing to make a Companion, that is a Child of Atom. I have a lot of ideas for apparel, location, affinity, quests, attitude, etc - however, I am also willing to cut content to allow for you (the creator) to remain sane, etc.

 

I can also volunteer my voice, as a voice actor to the character.


Not knowing what information is needed, please feel free to ask questions about what you'd want to know, and I'll let you know ASAP.

Thanks!

What are all your ideas? I thought about voicing my own Children of Atom companion to go with the overhaul and make it a nice all in one package. I mean, why not? If I learned the quests it would be a more natural way to say hey, we need to reclaim this settlement here, do this there, etc. instead of you just wandering about trying to figure things out.

 

Did you check the other thread and see the screenshots of the Nuka-World disposal site that I seen would be ideal for the Children of Atom?

[MaesterAelix]

Yeah, I checked the other thread - I'm not familiar enough with NukaWorld to know where that is. However, looks good.

Galileo "Leo" is a second generation Child of Atom. He's a missionary, looking to share the glow of Atom with those he can meet.

He can be found in a small camp, in a very irradiated pool just south of the Federal Ration Stockpile. (it glows orange).

Upon meeting him, he'll greet you and give a very unimpressive speech about Atoms Glow. Then, he'll ask for your help.

 

50 units of distance further south, there is a Deathclaw with a cave. He and a fellow missionary were trying to be missionaries, and spread the word of Atom - however the raiders of the Stockpile had run them off. They ran too far, and then the Deathclaw got his friend.

Beat the Deathclaw, help him recover his friends remains, and he'll offer to join you as a companion. You can get his friends Children of Atom rags from the corpse, and as a quest reward (along with his Companionship) you can get a legendary Radium Riffle "The Glow".

As you talk to him, you find out that he's a dedicated follower to the Children of Atom, however since he has gone out to see the Wasteland and Commonwealth, he's become a little bit ... disenfranchised. Being second generation, the Children of Atom are all he's known - and now seeing more, he's realized how little he knows. You can tell he's heading towards the path of being a curmudgeon - but there is a chance you can help him re-find his faith through some chat options, etc.

 

 

Likes: Sarcastic responses, and generally he likes it when you help others. However, he does enjoy it when you can annoy someone.

 

Dislikes: Violent Outcomes, and cruelty.

 

Romance: Why not?

 

Companion Perk: [up for Debate]. Once he likes you enough, he would offer you a quest to help him go to a place, and help him spread the word of Atom (perhaps... Goodneighbor?) "back home" and speak to some NPC at the crater of atom. You're backing him up to tell his family that he's done a good job, and that he's spread the word to the Commonwealth. Once you finish the quest, he gets you a perk, and with the right choices in the missionary mission and the family mission, he could be a romance option.

I am thinking that he gives you a perk "Atom's Child" which ... I'd love to have Ghouls no longer be healed by rad damage you deal. Or, removes rad immunity from your enemies.

Okay so after checking out some how to videos n the like I have decided to make this companion my self! :D

 

So, I am now taking suggions for this companion. Feel free to leave any ideas. I can't gatentee I will use any of them, but I will read every one of them.

[genolune]

If you want, you can download the 1.4 file of the Children of the Atom Overhaul, and build it in, and then I can reupload that sometime, that way we keep these things in as small a package as possible for mod users. If not, let me know and I can do what I can to link and help with the mod page.

I have started to work on this mod. How do i actually place my guy into the game? I know the exact spot (photo'd above) but I have no idea where in the creation kit that is @_@. Any help?

[Flowerguy360]

Load up the spot you want in the Cell View window, then simply drag and drop the NPC Form where you want him.

 

You may want to rotate your view a little, etc. to make sure you've placed him on solid ground. Other than that, that's all you need to put him in the world - literally. :)

[MaesterAelix]

Okay all, I have started to build up this NPC.


However, he doesn't greet me - and when I do click on him (with Subtitles active) he says nothing. There is a long awkward pause, but then the text starts rolling in. After that it seems OK, but I'm wondering:

What do I need to do to:
Have him approach you when you start to get close (because he spawns in, in a very radioactive area)
Have my "greeting" text appear?

...Goodie! I will be following this closely.
