📋 About This Mod

If you enjoyed this mod, please show your appreciation with a comment and/or endorsement. Voice splicing is painstakingly tedious process, and knowing there\'s an audience that appreciates that work motivates me to add more features. Latest Update: - Fixed a couple of dialogue related bugs. - Added on a few new lines, mostly pertaining to combat situations. - A few new idles; relaxing on a bed instead of sleeping if she\'s in her \"go sit down\" behavior. Tired of the NCR\'s aggressive expansion in the Mojave? Wish your pals wouldn\'t wimp out at the idea of helping the Legion? Melissa the Great Khan scout would be happy to throw in with you once you\'ve helped her out at Quarry Junction. +=========================================================+ | TABLE OF CONTENTS | +=========================================================+ 1.

Other Mods By Me +===+===========================+ | 1 | Description & Features +===+===========================+ In a nutshell, this companion mod features: - Fully voiced and lip-synced dialogue. - Full companion wheel integration, in addition to the standard stealthing/overburdened comments, etc. - Optional sandbox mode waiting. - Toggleable unlimited ammo and upgradeable* default weapon (just place the appropriate hunting rifle mods in her inventory). - Provides the Khan Survivalist perk when hired, reducing the rads in edible items and providing additional poison resistance. - Can be sent back to Red Rock Canyon, the Lucky 38 Suite, or any custom home of your choosing. - Can be given one of 12 different hairstyles in-game via dialogue without the need to use the G. E. C. K. (20 with the optional Lings add-on). - Reactive features; sits when you do, draws her gun when you do, strips down when swimming, and fidgets while standing around. - Actively comments on the locations you visit, some of your actions, and some of the items you give her. - NPC interaction; she\'ll flip off and cuss out NCR troops, some generic NPC\'s react to her presence, and she can banter with Veronica or Cass. - A radio to summon her should she get lost. - Out-of-the-box compatibility with NV:Redesigned and other mods that change the original Melissa\'s appearance, though with some exceptions. Melissa is my second companion mod for Fallout New Vegas, and my third for Fallout in general. Admittedly my decision to companion-ize her wasn\'t so much about her personality like it was with Sydney, but do I like her voice and wanted to help balance out the NCR-to-Legion follower ratio. Based on feedback from my Sydney Follower mod, the most popular aspects were adherence to character and idle dialogue that she initiated on her own, so that\'s what I sough
