Hello, I have been walking around the Wastes recently and realized something was wrong: I have no followers! I normally only have about one follower at a time, never paid attention to it, though. I want to get my hands on some good follower mods(not like CompanionShare&Recruit) with added NPCs with many customization options, IE equipping special clothing that isn't really anywhere else via dialogue, the option to toggle godmode for them, toggle unlimited ammo, possibly changing features like hair/hair color, select factions so certain people don't attack etc. etc. etc.. I only have CSR and Angel the Raider, nothing else really. So.. Could I get some links to good followers that have good skills, are rewarding, or have diversity in personalization? Nobody likes being alone forever :dance: :dance:

this mod has some diversity: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1991

I'll try that out. The only downside is I'm now frequently playing on my Raider character and Megaton is overrun with Raiders(friendly Raider perk wins) and I live in the Fairfax townhouse. Not only that but I have Zombie Apocalypse and Nazi Zombie(no reference to CoD) Invasion enabled. Followers as weak as Bittercup will be easily crushed in my world and I don't like using the god mode too much, so yeah.. Oh well, then?

Phalanx. One of the best one out there.

I use and like http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10577

It looks like your character is a ghoul? So I dunno if you want to hang out with one or not, but I've modded Charon to be more versatile and he's certainly tough. He has more personality now, does more things, and can be set essential, and you can trade for his weapons (his shotty and another weapon I've given him) so you could make it so he doesn't have unlimited ammo if you want. Not so much a toggle, but doable. http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12221

Another follower that I like a lot and has a lot of options in her menu, but isn't as big on the personlity side (like Bittercup who has a ton of personality but not as much functionality), is Jessi Companion. Sorry, I tried to get the link, but between putting up Charon's and trying to get Jessi's link Nexus went wacky on me.

Definitely try http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9320, and maybe http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5696 and http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4887?

Also, try http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4474. It gives Dogmeat a lot more functionality.

My main character is a Ghoul, but I'm right now on my Raider. Either way I like Ghouls so I hang around them no matter who I am. I think I'll give that Charon mod a look, I normally don't like Charon because of his already near invincibility to common enemies.
I've also heard alot about Jessi, but never actually tried. From what I've heard, there are alot of options for her.

I wouldn't try it until I have finished the current version. I've been busy with studies and stuff but I'm going to complete the mod soon.

Yeah I use the Jessi companion mod and sometimes the Kelsey (her older sister) companion mod when I get in over my head. I use FWE and MMM, so for me at least there are areas where I die fast if I go there by myself. All my other "companions" just sit at which ever home I'm currently useing, since I usually solo anyway, and for me more than two companions in combat can be tedius. Although sometimes it's fun to bring an "army"

With Jessi though, never use the guard here option, there is a bug that sometimes makes her dialog menu freeze after that order is issued. Then you have to disable the mod, start the game, save the game, quit the game, enable the mod, and rehire her to fix it. Sounds like a pain I know, but just ignore that one order and she should be fine.

Okie dokie. What I don't like much is that majority of all companion mods are females designed to look, well, I guess 'sixy' which is kind of annoying because I'd rather use them as a follower and treat them as normal than to just gaze upon them for minutes on end. The only real way for males is the defaults or using CSR. Why aren't there any male followers? I just want some equality, it's kind of like males don't exist in the companion modding universe.

Ever heard of Nitro? He's an Outcast follower who prefers Flamers. Male.

Haven't. I'll take a look at it because as of now I'm stuck with a Raider and Bittercup, or in theory, a foul-mouth and a whiner. :thumbsdown:

Yup, I agree, I have no problem with sixy women as modded followers, but there is an over abundance of them . One reason why I downloaded the http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10379 (still need to do the quest to be able to pick him us as a follower). Till I read your post I wondered if I was one of the only guys who actually had his sixy women companions wearing non-revealing non-sixy armor. I would just rather have them wear armor that looks like it'd stop a bullet, they can wear the sixy stuff at the house . But I usualy dont take the time to have them change out of thier armor.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. If I want them to look hot then I'll make them do a stupid pose at my Fairfax apartment or wear something different, but when I go outside it's business first. And with zombies running around everywhere, there's no time to stop and look pretty, especially on Very Hard.

There's a voiced male companion called Dante. Malcolm in Phalanx is voiced. There's a few vanilla npc's with re-used vanilla voice files turned into companions (Harkness, Colonel Autumn, I think 1 or two I'm forgetting).

Harkness is a great male follower. So is Companion Dante, but he might be a bit of an acquired taste, since he is unrelentingly horny and in-your-face. I think he fits in perfectly in Fallout because of that, though.

:celebration:

I LOVE the mod. I can't wait to see what you have in store!

I think I'll have to go DL Dante on your recommendation, greenwarden; thanks for sharing that. I'm always interested in new companions to try; they are one of my favorite parts of the game and I'm always looking for another one to add to my collection; especially one with a unique personality. My current character is already travelling with Harkness along with Charon and Jessi.

Heh didn't even realize that was your mod. Have it loaded but haven't gotten that far enough to get her. When do you think it'll be completed?

Have fun with him, Llama. Mojodajojo did amazing work when he created Dante, I've never had any issues with him, and I think my husband pulls off Dante's voice pretty well.

I've never tried Jessi, but she sounds like a useful companion. I think I'll give her a try.

Ugh! The Jessi and Kelsey companion mod links are dead. Can't download -.-

I think Nexus is experiencing technical difficulties right now. You'll likely be able to download them later.

Ah, I just reported a file for a broken link, but then noticed everything I wanted to download after that had the same error. Oops?

Lol, http://i710.photobucket.com/albums/ww102/crestaroja00/9f04.jpg

Side note, alot of mods that can help with followers require FOSE. I have FOSE but when I launch it to start Fallout it doesn't sign me out of Live and doesn't really work, is there something I'm doing wrong? Probably best to message me that, though.
