MOTHERSHIP ZETA ADVISORY
Until there is a Zeta compatibility module, you should make Phalanx-specific followers
(Malcolm, Deisha, K-9) wait or be dismissed before beginning this DLC\'s content
***************************************
UPDATE ADVISORY
If you had Leader\'s Sense perk as of version 1. 04 or earlier, it\'s now not there any more,
and you may now have \"Swift Learner\" instead.
To get rid of that, talk to Gary, he can remove it for you
******************************
FO3 Phalanx is a comprehensive Fallout 2 - themed mod for Fallout 3. Phalanx\' main strength at this time is as follower overhaul mod. It is working toward these goals:
1) Bringing back to Fallout 3 the levels of follower sensibility and control that was offered in Fallout 2. or exceeding it.
2) Adds back some of the content that feels \'missing\' from Fallout 3.

New Followers
----------------------------------------------------
Phalanx introduces 3 new followers at this time:
Malcolm is inspired by Cassidy from Fallout 2. He is voiced by André D. Cox\" aka \"Mr. CoX\" (cox@x-o-c.de). He\'s not identical to Cassidy however, and works out with characters of any karma (Cassidy was good karma only). Malcolm is intended to be picked up in Megaton when the player\'s character is young. He is is integrated to help the player through the young-player quests.
Deisha is implemented as the flip-side to Clover, and is not voiced at this time. She is hired in Rivet City.
K-9, a cybernetic dog follower, is inspired by K-9 from Fallout 2. K-9\'s mesh and texture were made by Drag0ntamer
