- *******************************************************
- Description:
- *****************************************************
- This mod turns Joshua Graham, AKA The Burned Man, into a full-fledged companion. He has all the functionalities (companion perk, dialogue wheel, tactics, wait/follow, go to Lucky 38, etc) and dialogue of any vanilla follower, plus a dialogue option that branches into a bunch of questions himself, the New Canaanites, etc. Basically every dialogue option that would still make sense for him to say post-Honest Hearts is there. Oh, and I changed Joshua's non-playable version of A Light Shining in Darkness to use companion ammo.
- Graham already has a bunch of companion dialogue since he's a temporary companion, but I've added dialogue for things like telling him to wait/follow/dismiss/dismiss to Lucky 38, since this wasn't possible when he was a temporary companion in vanilla. All dialogue is fully voiced and lipsynced using Graham's in-game audio files (often cut up and sometimes pieced together, but never in such a way that it sounds unnatural).
- Since he's a temporary companion, he had lots of combat-related dialogue which he all uses, eg. when he attacks, combat starts, combat ends, someone gets murdered, etc etc. On top of that I added some combat dialogue I thought was fitting, for the sake of variety. Graham is definitely not a silent follower.
Keep in mind that any member of the Legion will attack Joshua Graham on sight for obvious reasons.
- *****************************************************
- How to recruit him:
- *****************************************************
- Talk to Graham at the Dead Horses camp in Zion, where he will appear and wander around once you've completed Honest Hearts.
