📋 About This Mod
This mod is now considered final. If there is a glaring bug or glitch, you may still report it and I will try to address it, but no more content will be created. If you like this mod, please be sure to comment on and endorse it. I can\'t say I care much for the system, but they are really the only form of payment that I can get for this. Creating voice files and conversations from vanilla assets is a painstakingly tedious process at times, and it always helps knowing there\'s an audience out there that appreciates the effort I put into this mod. 2. 0 is released. If you have already gone through most of her main interactions and dialogue, you probably won\'t be able to fulfill the requirements to remove her new armor. If so, type: set FollowersSydney. Trust to 30 in the console, and wait a few seconds. Name: Sydney Follower Version: 2. 0 Date: 6/8/2010 Category: Companions Author: DRG6520 Source: http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9320 ======================================= (WARNING!!) PLEASE READ (WARNING!!) ======================================= Make sure you read the Installation Section and the Compatibility Concerns, and even the FAQ if you have a problem. The mod isn\'t difficult to set up, but there will be major issues if you fail to follow a particular step. I will not respond to ANY comments which report the resulting issue --- it should be common practice to read the readme before installing a mod, and I should not be held acountable for one\'s inability to do so. +=========================================================+ | TABLE OF CONTENTS | +=========================================================+ 1.

Disclaimers / Usage +===+===========================+ | 1 | Description & Features | +===+===========================+ This mod allows you to recruit Sydney the Relic Hunter as a permanent companion after you finish the quest \"Stealing Independence\" with her in tow. She was created to be a very interactive, immersive companion that would not be demoted to the role of meatshield and would mesh into the original game with no seams showing. If you feel that to be the case (as many users have already stated in feedback), then I\'ve done my job. While you could simply not finish the quest and have her run around behind you forever (as I did when I first started playing Fallout 3, actually), this mod\'s key feature is a story-based alternative to continuing your partnership, and offers such benefits as: - Over 420 lines of fully voiced and lip-synced dialogue, featuring the original voice cast. Not one line goes unvoiced. - Several location and quest-specific conversations and comments. - H
Sydney Follower extends Sydney the Relic Hunter's story beyond 'Stealing Independence' with new dialogue, mini-quests, and a fully voiced, lore-friendly companion. Ideal for Fallout 3 players who want a deeper connection with a memorable character.
