Update 1.1 has been released!
Red Lucy's lines were already limited in the base game because most of her lines could not be used for followers. But now, this will change. Thanks to voice cloning on ElevenaLabs, I have now acquired about 25+ new voicelines which I have added to the mod. This means that there will be many more "Red Lucy" sounding lines between those already there.
I havve also used this opportunity to introduce the Red Lucy Mannequin Edition 2.0 which is a huge improvement from the first one which was just a base race. (Refer to images.)
Enjoy!
MOD DESCRIPTION
Red Lucy is a character whose existence I had no idea of (like most NV NPCs involved in side quests) until it was pointed out to me by the above user. And surprisingly, no companion mod exists on Nexus for her. This mod is an attempt to (sort of) change that. After meeting her in the Thorn and doing one long and tedious fetch quest, you get acknowledged as a great hunter and even have a chance to get more intimate.
TECHNICAL
Getting a working prototype was near impossible with this NPC because of how certain NPCs react to the introduction of the follower quest. While NPCs like Sunny Smiles and all the TTW NPCs will simply add the additional dialogue options, Red Lucy did not add anything. Playing around with the priority of the quest only replaced her existing dialogue with the follower quest's dialogue. This is not ideal as you have the repeatable battles that would be lost.
In the end, I had to get creative. Like my Ranger Ghost companion, I had to utilise a separate NPC for the follower and temporarily disable the original NPC until dismissed. This was the only way to get this working. Sorry. To avoid any "immersion breaking" the NPC was placed just outside the Thorn.
So I guess you could say that in her freetime, she waits in anticipation for her hunter's return and will enter the Thorn when you are there too. For this reason, the dismissal to the Lucky 38 has been disabled.
If either Red Lucy or the follower NPC die, the other will be disabled. So, although they are physically separate NPC's they should be treated as being connected since neither of them can actually be seen in the same room together.
No changes were made to the vanilla NPC/Quests/AI. If you experience any issue with the Bleed me Dry quest or Red Lucy, it is likely New Vegas Vanilla or another mod. This mod purely adds a new NPC to the game with the same name and face as Red Lucy to follow you around.
Please, if you wish to "know Red Lucy Better" in her chambers, do it and finish it. I have tested the exchange and ran out in the middle of it and this resulted in red Lucy disappearing. This is without having even recruited the follower. Recruiting the follower disabled Lucy and, when enabled, simply makes her stay in her chambers repeating the same greeting line. So DO NOT RECRUIT THE NPC DURING THIS "SCENE". Wait for 24 hours after it is done as this is about the time it takes for Lucy to get out of bed and her AI resets to her going to the thorn stage.
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
- She will follow the player just like a normal companion anywhere you go after successfully completing "Bleed me Dry" and speaking to the Red Lucy NPC outside the Thorn.
- She can wait, be dismissed (Not to L38, though. Refer to technical section), traded with and have her tactics be changed. Her companion wheel is also working.
- She has a companion perk, Hunter's Pride, which grants + 3 DT.
