Boudica Voiced Companion

Boudica is a new, voiced companion who can be found in Canterbury Commons. She was built using the framework from Lucy West v1. 2, however all the internals have been rebuilt or replaced to the point that Boudica is a completely different, new companion. ---------------------------------------Notes---------------------------------------

• []Boudica is a fairly basic, solid companion. Hiring her is not connected to any quests, nor does she have any in-game backstory (though the idea is that she is an ex-Oasis druid a la Drifter, only slightly less homicidal); I largely made her as proof to myself that I could, in fact, make a classical, featured companion if I put my mind to it. Players have to overcome a speech check (which is repeatable); that is all. Any othe assumptions you\'d like to make about her history are yours to make. []Boadica is fully voiced from pre-existing game resources, and also has some variety to her responses, sometimes responding differently depending on the Lone Wanderer\'s own attributes. Sounds were picked to reflect an aggressive yet sarcastic personality. []Boudica has been tested compatible with Bittercup, Lucy West v1. 2, Sydney, \"Nitro\" the Outcast, \"Angel\" the Raider, and improved Dogmeat. It is unknown how she will work with other complex companion improving mods, but it can safely be inferred that she has inherited any of the problems circa Lucy West 1. 2 in that regard. []Her role is generally that of a tank - she boosts slightly higher starting HP than other companions, and her tags are melee weapons, big guns, and sneaking; ergo she should still be able to hold her own in a fight with powerful weaponry but will ideally not constantly blow your cover like an RL-3 or a Fawkes. []She sports a specialized, unique ranged weapon - a crossbow of her own make, built similarly to the Lone Wanderer\'s Dart Gun, except hers coats the dart in inflammable liquid which then sets the target on fire. []It should be noted, however, that Boudica largely regards it as something of a toy, and she will not do comparable damage with it as other companions may do with their ranged weapons, as she lacks a small guns tag, so do not expect Boudica to come out on top in a serious firefight while using it. If you wish Boudica to fill a ranged role effectively, give her a big gun, or simply allow her to use a melee weapon. Alternatively, try to find tactical uses for the crossbow. []When asked to wait at a location, it will show up on the player\'s map as a fast-travel enabled spot. Do note that her home location is configured separately, and when ordered specifically to go home, she will not leave a marker.
