Improved Companions

Name: {IC} Improved Companions Author: grotese Version: 1. 3b Date: 3/04/2011 Cateogry: Game Effects and Changes Link: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36949 Homepage: None =============== Description: =============== In vanilla NV, I was disappointed Obsidian didn\'t do anything more interesting with the Charisma Attribute. It was just as useless as it was in Fallout 3. Sure there\'s Companion Nerve or something like that, but it\'s so behind the scenes it\'s basically non-existent. So, I decided to add a more CRPG style of Charisma into the game. Now, having a high Charisma will allow you to bring along more followers and critters on your journey. On the other hand, having a low charisma will leave you alone and unwanted like the social outcast you are. =============== Details: =============== Here\'s the Table showing the Level of a player\'s Charisma and the Max number of Followers he can have: (Charisma, Critters, Humanoids ) 1 1 0 // Fallout New Vegas Modder 2 1 0 // Hermit 3 1 0 // 4 1 1 // 5 2 1 // Average Joe 6 2 2 // 7 2 3 // 8 2 4 // 9 2 5 // Celebrity 10 2 6 // Cult Leader I\'ve also made sure players don\'t try to get more Followers than what\'s allowed. If you pop a few Mentats, temporarily boost your Charisma, hire all the companions you can find, and then let the boost fade off, your followers won\'t fall for it. Once they realize you\'re a fraud, they\'ll confront you and then leave. This should work with any vanilla game save. It will immedietly count your companions and start up. It might not work with other companion mods. =============== Other Versions: =============== This version comes with two other versions: Balanced and Unlimited. Balanced is designed to be more balanced and flow with the vanilla game, you get less companions in total but you can get companions with a lower Charisma Here\'s the Table: (Charisma, Critters, Humanoids ) 1 1 0 // Fallout New Vegas Modder 2 1 1 // Hermit 3 1 1 // 4 1 1 // 5 1 1 // Average Joe 6 1 2 // 7 2 2 // 8 2 3 // 9 2 3 // Celebrity 10 2 4 // Cult Leader The Unlimited Version is similar to \"Unlimted Companions\" mod by olegbl, but, currently, olegbl\'s mod does not support casino weapon checking. This is for those who want to cheat and have unlimted companions and not have a bugged game when entering casinos. The table for this is self explanitory. =============== Install: =============== 1. Extract the files from the archive. 2. Copy files to (install folder)\\Fallout NV\\Data\\, should be an .esp and Sound files 3. Start Fallout NV Launcher, click \'Data Files\', place a checkmark beside the .esp file. =============== Un-Install: =============== 1.
