Man's Best Friend ( Deathclaw Companion )

Man's Best Friend

A man's best friend is not necessarily a dog ...

Version 4. 0

A young Deathclaw can be discovered somewhere out there in the wasteland. If befriended, and nurtured over time as a companion, it will grow in size, ferocity, loyalty, and intelligence. The ultimate in best friend.

Little Ripper begins as a low-level companion and gains levels and abilities as the player character gains levels. He stops gaining levels when the player's character reaches or exceeds Level 30. He does not initially scale-up to the player character's current level.

This ensures an opportunity to enjoy his growth from juvenile to adult over time while adventuring. That experience would be ruined if the scripting simply advanced him many levels to match an already high level player character. So it is best to use this mod when starting a new game or with a very low-level player character in an existing game; i.e. this mod is not an appropriate choice for someone with an already high level character.

Little Ripper achieves his maximum fighting capability and special abilities when he reaches Level 30, at which point he is a full-grown Alpha Deathclaw.
