📋 About This Mod

The incredibly talented Lovelit has given Scratch a voice!

SCRATCH - AI VOICE OVER

We are, however, currently working on acquiring a real voice actor!

(Art by me!)

INTRO

Meet Scratch! She's a (slightly) ghoulish scavenger who'll accompany you through the Capital Wasteland! She may be small, but she has an enormous personality and a wicked sense of humour to make up for it. Armed with a uniquely crafted melee weapon, and an enhanced version of the dart gun, Scratch is more than capable of dealing with many of the horrors of post-apocalyptic DC.

FEATURES

  • []Fully functional companion, with all the expected features.

    []A small quest that rewards you with your own copy of Scratch's unique weapons.

    []A whole new interior zone, located near Mama Dolce's factory.

    []Over 200 lines of dialogue. No voice acting, but Scratch can refer to the player character by name.

    []An armour switching system, activated via dialogue, which features four made-to-measure outfits.

    []Literal MINUTES of content!

    LOCATION

    Scratch can be found just north of the Super Duper Mart, scrounging for scrap under a bridge.

    INSTALLATION

    If you're using Vortex/Mod Organizer 2, it should be as simple as clicking download and installing.

    To install manually, extract the contents of the JNCompanionScratch into your fallout 3/data folder.

    To uninstall, delete JNCompanionScratch.esp, along with the JuicyNuggins folders located in data/meshes and data/textures.

    AUTHOR'S NOTES

    Thanks for reading this far! This is my first 'proper' mod, and I'm really happy to be finally uploading it. This has been one of those 'things I've been meaning to do forever but never getting around to it'. But now I've done it!

    I really adore Scratch. She's been a Fallout OC of mine for a very long time, and I felt like she'd be a perfect candidate for a companion. I'm no writer by any stretch of the imagination, but I tried really hard to bring this character to life, and I hope you like her as much as I do.
