Willow - A Better Companion Experience

May 2011 File of the Month

-Contrary to what you may have heard Willow is compatible with TTW without patches, but it's better if she's patched.

There is now a patch for Willow and TTW available for download in the Files Tab. It was written by SpringHeelJon author of the Begin Again Tale of Two Wastelands Wabbajack List. The Big Guy tweak and facegen was done by RedRocketTV

MOD DESCRIPTION: These are the highlights of what she can do:

Willow is a girl companion added to the NV gameworld. She has over 1200 lines of voiced dialogue, written and acted by me. There are other characters involved in the quests in the mod, and they are fully voiced as well, although primarily by game assets. The main purpose of this mod is to provide you with a story driven, complex companion. Willow is mostly meant to be enjoyed as a character who travels with you, however there are a couple of quests to do as well. She has a main questline, composed of two quests, that every player will see. There are two additional side quests and three challenges that every player will have an opportunity to play. Another side quest and challenge may or may not be seen by every player. It depends on choices made by the player.

Willow can be found in an abandoned tent that I've erected on the road South of Primm between the Nevada Highway Patrol Station and the Nipton Road Reststop (see picture in images).

Willow has a backstory that will be revealed to you through conversations, her Idle Chatter and journal entries.

Her tagged skills are Speech, Barter and Survival. Her weapon skill is Small Guns. You will receive a perk automatically when you hire her, the Silver Tongue Perk, which will raise your Charisma by 1. There are opportunities to earn another perk and various other rewards are given to the player throughout the mod (armor, weapons, etc).

FACTION ISSUES:

Willow is not entirely faction neutral. She comes from the NCR and is predisposed to like them, however that doesn't mean she favors them entirely (especially if they are shooting at her and you), but she does talk about them in a positive fashion unless your character is hated by them. IF YOU ARE PLANNING A LEGION PLAYTHROUGH be warned that Willow does not like the legion. However, her main concern is her relationship with the player. So, she follows you around, but she's in a moral quandary about doing so and you'll know it because she's pretty open about what she thinks about them. You'll have at least one opport
