📋 About This Mod
Edits the Mysterious Stranger to be equipped in random gear, and be a random gender, ethnicity, or potentially a ghoul.
Mysterious Stranger perk now requires the LW to be lvl 5 instead of 10. A low lvl PC is more likely to need a randoms help, than one halfway through the base game.
The Mysterious Stranger now draws from a LVLed List of random NPCs, including Ghouls. Their Outfit and Weapons also come from LVLed List, and should give the appearance of a different Stranger coming to your rescue each time. Outfits aren't related to any one faction, so no BoS, Enclave, Outcast, Regulators, or Talon Company. Initially had generic wasteland settler clothing, but didn't like it. Now its all Mercs, Trader Trenchcoats, Combat Armor, Leather Armor, Rivet City Combat Armor, and Wasteland Doctor/Surgeon.
Future Plans
- Have Strangers spawn nearby, and come to PC's aid instead of appearing in VATS
- Have Strangers stay in area after VATS, and come to PC's aid if enemies survive.
- Faction based Strangers
