📋 About This Mod

About this mod:

You can recruit three Raiders at a graveyard near the Corvega Assembly Plant. You don't have to recruit all of them, you can choose how many / which ones you like would to recruit.

Recruitment quest: requires Nick Valentine to be your current companion. The quest starts with a misc quest objective ("Investigate the Graveyard with Nick Valentine") that points to a graveyard (the one near the Corvega factory). Take Nick with you and head there together. Once you arrive, you'll see one of the mourning raiders. When you approach her, the other raiders show up and they'll be ready to engage (they can't and won't hit you or Nick, and you can't hit them either). After some seconds, their boss recognizes Nick (they know each other) and they'll have a short conversation. At the end of the conversation, as an apology, the raider boss tells Nick to choose "Whatever you need, it's yours." Since Nick doesn't have any idea, he turnes towards to you and asks if you need anything. (Regardless of your answer to Nick, the recruitment options will become available). To pick up someone as a companion, "Talk" to them. To send them to a settlement, press "Send to a settlement". If you return to the graveyard later, the raider boss won't be there and the grave of the deceased raider will be covered (there will be some flowers and candles at the grave too).

Multiple secondary companions: you can pick up as many raiders whom you've recruited as you like. They don't count in the vanilla "companion slot". In other words, they are "secondary companions".

Notes: every raider has a name. Raider companions have a nice number of voice lines; both generic and unique voice lines (e.g., warning at the Boston Common, yelling at ghosts at night, etc.). They don't say the "raider specific" lines. They don't consume ammo.

Installation:
