📋 About This Mod
Meet Scratch! She's a (slightly) ghoulish scavenger who'll accompany you through the Mojave! She may be small, but she has an enormous personality and a wicked sense of humour to make up for it. Armed with a uniquely crafted melee weapon, and a modified version of the dart gun from Fallout 3, Scratch is more than capable of dealing with many of the horrors of post-apocalyptic Nevada.
FEATURES
-
[]Fully functional companion, with a working companion wheel.
[
]A small quest that rewards you with your own copy of Scratch's unique weapons.[]A whole new interior zone, located near the West Pump Station.
[]Over 200 lines of dialogue, created in Elevenlabs AI by Lovelit!
[]An armour switching system, activated via dialogue, which features four made-to-measure outfits.
[]Literal MINUTES of content!
LOCATION
Scratch can be found near Lone Wolf Radio, a short trip south of Goodsprings.

AUTHOR'S NOTES
It has been a year since I released the original mod for Fallout 3 (as of writing this description). It's been a tough yar for me personally, but I've been blown away by the love for the original mod. I figured it was time to finally work on the New Vegas conversion!
RECOMMENDED MODS
This mod doesn't have any additional requirements (other than NVSE), however, there are a few mods that will enhance your experiences through the wasteland with Scratch!
Improved Plunger (We all deserve the highest quality plungers.)
