📋 About This Mod
Balls the talking Dog Companion, now with a quest and dialogue!
As the song goes "It's Balls, the talking dog, he's your favorite pal, and he sleeps like a log? It's Balls the talking dog, it's got a secret, what could it be? I TALK!" -Al
Description- This is a new, fully dialogued companion based off of AlChestBreach's idea of Balls. An Evil dog who does evil things. He is however not just evil, but also powerful-he can take on a fully grown radscorpion with ease! He should serve you well, but try not to get him angry :D
Location- He can be found near Primm, that little playground next to the NCR Tents.
Features- He is fully dialogued and voice acted companion Has his own quest in which the player can embark on- activated via a dialogue option Edited stats so he isn't useless-In fact he's powerful (but not godmode) A script in which his health resets after battle Has all of the standard companion functions- wait,trade,follow,dismiss
Updates- Make a texture Make a working companion wheel Expand quest (maybe)
Did you enjoy the mod? If you enjoyed the mod please feel free to endorse! I don't normally say this but because this mod was on a larger scale (Quests, Lip syncing and Voice acting), It would be much appreciated!
Credit to- Penguirony- The person who made the follower dog that was born into Balls :D AlChestBreach- For the dialogue and being a legend! Me-For being lazy

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 671 endorsements and over 12k downloads—clearly resonates with players.
- Voiced companion with dialogue and a quest adds depth beyond typical follower mods.
- Evil companion offers a unique roleplay option for villainous playthroughs.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013—likely incompatible with modern game versions or DLC without patches.
- The 'evil' theme may not appeal to players seeking a morally good or neutral companion.
