Tina De Luca Voiced as a Settler with AI (Dependency Re-revisited)

If you’ve been following me since the early days of Fallout 4 modding you probably know that this is not the first time I bothered with fixing the Vault 81 quest, Dependency. And it’s not even the second time, but hey, the third time’s the charm, right?

This new version of the mod practically does four things.

1) Fixes the ending of the Vault 81 quest, Dependency

Just like with my first mod called Dependency Quest Fix back in early 2016, this one also fixes the buggy good ending of the Dependency quest in Vault 81, allowing you to recruit Tina without any glitches.

2) Allows you to recruit Tina even if the quest has already ended

And just like my second mod called Tina De Luca Voiced as a Settler, this one also has an addition to the vanilla quest that allows you to recruit Tina any number of times after Dependency has ended. This is useful if you’ve already finished the quest by the time you are installing this mod.

3) Turns Tina into a level 4 vendor

A new feature is that I finally took the time to turn her into a level 4 general merchant, which I decided was more fitting than turning her into a chems dealer for two reasons: first, since Dependency has already ended at this point one way or the other, chances are that she probably wants nothing to do with chems anymore. And second, she was already set up as a general merchant in the vanilla game, so probably the original plan for the NPC was to be a general merchant anyway. Only thing is that she was not a level 4 vendor in the vanilla game files.

4) Adds custom voice lines to Tina as a settler, generated by AI

And like before, this version also has custom conversations written by me to give dialogue lines to Tina once she has become a settler.

But this time these dialogue lines were synthesized with machine learning using the original dialogue lines of the NPC from vanilla Fallout 4.

My goal was to step up the immersion by making her sound exactly like before in Vault 81, and restore cut content in the original spirit of the character regarding her motivation, persona and backstory, to seamlessly integrate a missing section of the game and make Fallout 4 a better experienc
