designing your follower

Post » Tue Nov 25, 2014 9:14 pm

I wonder if it would be possible to custom design your follower the same way you create your character. You could build them to compliment your skills, give them a look you find pleasing. Perhaps have a few voices and personalities to pick from. I suppose it would be easy to become overpowering early in the game, but I think it would be cool.

Your thoughts?

With this game engine, it's impossible, unless you like having NPCs with featureless gray heads. NPCs in this game use exported facegen textures and meshes, which necessitates them being hand-designed in the editor. That said, a moldable follower -- that is, their personality and combat style -- is very possible, though this being a game it curtails a truly dynamic reaction.

I pitched the idea of a "Create-A-Companion" long ago when Beth was still updating the game but clearly they didn't listen :P
