FollowersAcknowledgeMyOrder dialogue

[HellFencer]

So, I've been messing around in the GECK and made a new companion. I'm still flushing it out but it works, wheel works, etc. However, in giving him some dialogue I ran across a very strange issue. In the VNPCFollowers quest, all the prompts for all companions on the topic FollowersAcknowledgeMyOrder are blank! I've tried opening up the vanilla new vegas esm but somehow they are blank there too.

 

I've searched here, google, youtube and the wiki for a simple list of what the original prompt was for this topic, to no avail. So, if anyone could just tell me what is supposed to be there vanilla, I'd be most thankful!

That topic doesn't appear to be used. Ive never used it or seen any one else use it. It's not top-level or tied to the wheel.

 

In case you didn't know, the 'prompt' field is optional (but many times needed) . The 'Topic text' would have been enough for this simple topic. Though you could use the prompt field if you wanted a different prompt for each follower, for example.

You know, I wondered why the vanilla esm had them as blank. If they aren't being used, why am I sometimes seeing it in conversation with followers (before they are following me)?

 

Yes, I know the prompt is optional. Without something there, I am having (for instance) Boone give me the option to say this to him during the talk where you receive the quest for One For My Baby.

 

I'm concerned mainly because there are voices and lip files and everything for these dialogue lines, which leads me to believe they ARE in the game, somewhere. Of course, there was a lot of cut content too, so maybe its just that. Either way, I'm still seeing these options in dialogue BEFORE someone is my follower.
