Moksha8088 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I would go for humor since it usually makes for a pleasant personality. Inigo always scores points with the player by offering heartfelt compliments. Most companions start with a problem they need help with. Over time they come to appreciate the Players help. Can the voice actor sing? That is something Fallout 4 is sorely lacking: A singing companion. Heather Casdin's author has a wonderful singing voice. She sang some great songs in her New Vegas mod Willow. I hope she will sing again in her new Skyrim SE mod, Liliana. Wish some of the other great companions like R4-04 (Tales), Darlene, and Sarah Lyons (Project Valkyrie) sang, but they do not. A singing Fallout 4 companion would be a first and a welcome relief when walking the broken roads of Fallout 4. Hey, what about a character that was cast out of time and space by an Elder Scroll and ended up in the Commonwealth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJTheFire Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Dialogue is going to be awesome, you guys do not have to worry about that, we have a high quality RODE microphone to do the voice acting too with an acoustic room. I am gonna try and push for a very talkative character, 2500+ voice lines if you catch my drift. My main focus will definitely be story line and dialogue, because that is what I also want in a companion. As for special abilities, what do you guys prefer? Hacking, lock picking? I don't know if she will be able to do both (Don't think it is possible). Also, after reaching max affinity, what perks would you find useful? We all have different play styles which is why I would like some opinions on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This voice actress CAN sing, so we'll see what we can play around with. PS - She might be coming with a radio station, I haven't decided if I should make the radio station separate or combine it with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorkaz Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I'd say make your character and then worry about the perks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make her say something interesting about each one, too. Seems like good room to inject some comedy. xPHacking and lockpicking is just kinda... basic. If the collectible-commentary is too difficult, maybe (and I dunno if this is possible) make her be able to intimidate/incite enemies at random? It could proc the same way the Ghoulish rank 3 perk does.Ghoulish rank 3 randomly makes a nearby ghoul become your friend. I'd say it happens about 1/4th as often as you see a Legendary enemy. I don't see why it couldn't also work on other enemy types. Or maybe that could be the perk you get from maxing out her affection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I can try, should be able to figure something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorkaz Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 You'd need some alias quest function that searches for keywords like the Bobblehead or PerkMag keywords... but that's eventually for the possible future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJTheFire Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Also I was thinking, regarding dialogue, what if I add a line here and there where the voice actress speak in her own language? Would people like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
