About this mod

Mercury is a Fully Voiced Companion which comes with a Quest mod. (+Companion Wheel)

Requirements
Permissions and credits

Description:
Mercury includes a lore friendly, unique, in depth, robot companion which I made because I saw the lack of appreciation for the robot model which is used by the think tank and Dr. Mobius. So I made a companion for myself but then really started appreciated the potential of the mod and so I developed it to such an extent that I am ready to release it to the general public. The mod contains a unique, custom made armour using in game assets, 4 normal Quests as well as a reward Heist quest where you can rob an up and coming bank, Bank 34. which all link together through dialogue and just basic scripting. Mercury was a former scientist and can be recruited in the Prospector's Saloon.

Not Obselete Perk:
"You are a top class guy! With Mercury in your party you feel motivated to give it your all (+1 Agility) and when all the ladies/Gentlemen are eyeing up Mercury you can sweep on in and introduce yourself to them! (+2 Charisma) It's a done deal!" - (susceptible to change/nerf)

Feedback:
Mercury is a one man project and so I care deeply about the mod. I have put a lot of time and effort into this mod and would love for you to give me any feedback regarding Mercury such as bugs, conflicts and just general constructive criticism. I really would appreciate it.

How to hire Mercury:
All you need to do is go to the Prospector's Saloon in Goodsprings then talk to him. After a while you will have an option to hire him. Once you have done that you can then begin the quests and you will get a perk for him coming with you. 

FYI:
-This mod does contain a small amount of profanity and subjects which may not be suitable for younger players such as torture. It is up to the discrestion of the player whether (s)he downloads and plays the mod.

-I am British and therefore have a British accent. I have tried to implement this into the lore by bringing my new twist into the excuse of the main character having a British accent. The rest of the voiced characters all have "American" accents but they are not very good (<--understatement of the year) so I would love to replace them as soon as possible preferably with any keen members of the community.

-If you are expecting a huge behemoth of a companion, like the ones at Big MT, you're mistaken. I have had to shrink him down so he can fit through doors but he may still get stuck in some doors like most companions. By shrink him down I mean I shrunk him down by a third. This does not influence his fighting ability and may be susceptible to change with updates and the such, if the community wants it of course.

-This is my first fully fleshed out quest and companion Mod, I have made a couple of little mods for my game but nothing as detailed

Contact me:
If you are interested in voice acting a character in my mod you must have a microphone with good audio quality and confidence. Pick a character, send me a line delivery (preferably a longer one), then I will contact you back saying either yes or no (If you are confident enough to send me it, it will probably be a yes). You can contact me on the Nexus Forums I will check them everyday between 14:00 - 00:00 GMT.

Nothin'

BUGS:
1 little bug which does not break the mod itself, sometimes when you talk to mercury only specific follower dialogue will pop up such as wait here, follow me, let's talk about tactics etc. You won't be able to talk to him about anything else but these if this happens...
FIX: How to fix this is to close the dialogue and keep on trying to see if you can talk to him. I do not know how to fix this but this is my top priority atm. If this works fine (Which is might) then please message me saying that it does and please tell me your load order as this could potentially help other people too.
