🧬 Description

Brianna of The Family becomes a fully voiced, fully featured companion with two distinct playstyles — Cannibal Brianna or Vampire Brianna — depending on how you recruit her. Hire her with the Cannibal perk or pass an Average Speech check, and your choice shapes her quests, abilities, and combat behavior.

A companion designed to feel different based on your path.

        ❓ FAQ

        Why does Brianna get annoyed when I steal from The Family?

        She’s still friendly with them. Steal first, hire later.

        Cannibal quest won’t start — Vance has no dialogue option.

        Run through all of Vance’s intro dialogue first. When it ends, talk to him again.

        Harvested items sometimes don’t appear?
