"We're making Caesar assume the position with this one" - ugyaaaahfish from my Protectron Companion mod
FISTO is an "interesting" character you can meet in New Vegas. After being tasked by the owner of The Atomic Wrangler to find three colourful individuals to assist him with his "Specialised guests", you will find him and potentially test him. After a fade to black he will move to the Atomic Wrangler and will stay there waiting for you to purchase his services again.
Now, this changes. Now, his services also include accompanying you throughout the wastes and rendering his original services free of charge. (Consider it a finder's fee provided by the Casino)
This follower was built using my Blank Slate Companion template: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/86386
The follower is feature complete and no further updates are planned.
MOD FEATURES
- The mod adds a new NPC called FISTO's Handler. Speak to him to toggle FISTO between the normal and follower mode. (FISTO is, henceforth referred to as "he" in the section below)
- He will follow the player just like a normal companion anywhere you go.
- He can wait, be dismissed (not to L38), traded with and have his tactics be changed. His companion wheel is also working. But, he can only use fists, no ranged weapons. This is the vanilla NPC's coding.
- He has a companion perk, "Free Services" which simply adds the ability for him to render his services wherever and whenever if he is following you.
TECHNICAL:
For some reason, some New Vegas NPC's don't want to play well with companion mods. Either the dialogue does not show up or the new dialogue shows up and their original dialogue disappears. As such, I had to create a new companion NPC. Speak to the Handler in the back of the room where FISTO usually is. (He is a red head wearing Benny's suit). He can toggle the NPC between the original NPC or the follower NPC. If the quest is completed and you speak to FISTO, it should be the original NPC, therefore, no follower dialogue should show up until you have toggled him with the handler.
The handler cannot be spoken to in the following cases:
- When the follower NPC has been recruited and is following you.
- When the normal NPC has been set to go to the room to perform a service on you. Once the screen fades to black, the handler can be spoken to.
RECOMMENDED MODS:
Faster Protectron Running
Protectrons move very slowly and will often fall behind. This mod increases their speed to a run.
