Description
===========
This is originally a mod that I made for myself. Normally I don't publish any of the mods that I make, as I don't think that they're good enough to be used by anyone else. However, I really enjoy using this one, and seeing as there isn't a large number of Child Companion mods for New Vegas, I figured why not.
So, this Mod adds a little brother, for the Player, to the game. His name is Jake and he can be found in the Prospector Saloon, in Goodsprings. This mod is currently not voice acted, so his initial dialog does make references to the player's name.
As far as weapons go, Jake uses a modified 12.7mm as his main weapon, which only has slightly more kick to it than a normal 12.7mm. Jake also carries a switchblade if you want to change his tactics to be melee instead.
The perk you get, for having Jake in your party, makes it so that your weapons and armor decay 30 percent slower than normal. Also, through Jake's dialogue, you can have him repair your items. NOTE: I've made it so that you don't need to pay him to fix anything, however, the repair menu uses your repair skill, not his. And if you don't actually have the caps amount to repair the item, then you won't be able to repair it, even though it doesn't actually take the caps. That's just a limitation in the way that I was able to get it to work (sorry).
But I did my best to make sure that Jake follows all of the same rules and options that all of the in-game companions do. So, he does use the Companion Wheel, he does have a dismiss to the Luck 38 option, and his weapons will be taken away from him while in any of the Casinos.
The one thing, though, that I did not do was make him count towards your companion count. I didn't like not being able to have one of the other human companions with me, in addition to Jake, so I didn't make him count. This does end up having the side effect, though, of him being able to follow you into all of the DLCs. I personally think this is okay, as I'd want my little brother to go with me everywhere...well except for maybe the Sierra Madre Casino in Dead Money; having him there is just strange and doesn't fit the story, but I don't really feel like fixing this for a DLC I normally don't play. But anyway, I wanted to at least warn you about him following you in the DLCs first, so it wasn't a surprise.
