📋 About This Mod
About this mod:
It lets you recruit Virgil as a Settler after you give him his serum (Virgil's Cure). I added a lot of dialogue lines and conversations for him to make it more immersive.
To recruit him, you need to have a Hamzat Suit (normal or damaged) or Cleanroom Suit (normal or hooded) in your inventory.
Virgil's Chemistry Workbench:
If you assign him to this workbench, he will synthetize one Stimpak in every 3 ingame days. Stimpaks will be added to the settlement's workbench. Other settlers can't produce Stimpaks. You can't use this workbench as a "usual" Chemistry Workbench. Of course you can still assign Virgil to other workshop objects.
Medical Care:
If he's assigned to a Clinic, he becomes as a Level 4 Chem vendor. If you're injured, he provides medical services. Similarly to Doctor Volkert, his services are free of charge and he cures everything.
Conversations:
The conversations are randomized but I made sure the randomizer always picks different ones. You can hear maximum of one conversation in every 8 hours (so the "cool off" time is 8 hours, similarly to my Recruit Jenny mod). In the videos, I started the dialogues manually, that's why they might seem a bit unnatural..
