About this mod

An Ex-Legion follower who, at the conclusion of his quests can be asked to fight for any faction, although he'll always follow you first and foremost.

Permissions and credits
Aetius the Ex-Legion Companion

A comprehensive companion mod including two minor factions to choose between, quest lines based on your choices, multiple quests and options.
Decide the fate of those you encounter, learn more about this illusive wanderer and forge his - and your - path throughout the Mojave. 

You can find him initially in Goodsprings


Features

(a) A new companion complete with companion wheel, all features of an in game companion ie tactical menu etc and multiple dialogue options for each option to provide a bit of realism and character. 

(b) Two factions, thematically related but equally distinct these are two new minor factions in the wasteland which can be dealt with as you wish

(c) Multiple quests. Instead of adding spoilers I'll simply say there are two possible quests from the outset and a few more, depending on your choices, tied to the companion. 

(d) Replayability. In line with the expectations of the genre there are multiple quest lines, seeing all the content in a single run will be impossible - as I would expect of any RPG - so if you like the companion there is a chance to have fresh and new experiences on replaying the game and other mods. 

(e) Dialogue. This mod has many lines of dialogue and adaptive topics depending on your choices and actions throughout the mod. There are multiple stages of dialogue with the most notable changes happening after completing the companions personal quests, learn about his past, his secrets and decide his future. 




Points to note

(a) Due to the amount of dialogue, this is not voice acted. I simply do not have the time at the moment, nor the software to produce VA of any quality I'd be happy to publish. The companion MAY become voice acted at a later date but for now take the mod to be complete as is. 

(b) MINOR SPOILER (Begin companion personal quests) In order to start his quests, you need to locate a body up by North Vegas Square - just outside the door on the pavement to the ruined building cluster. Why he's there is in the note and you should talk to Aetius upon picking up the note, I'd suggest reading it first so the mod makes sense. Be aware your choices here will effect what quests you get and there is a way to ignore all his quests entirely (for RP purposes this seemed to make sense). Avoiding that option is telling him to face his past in either format, again different choices in this menu cause different quests. END SPOILER


Bugs/Other issues

(a) A note displays out of context. This is a minor coding issue, I'm working on it but there is a specific quest issue. It does not spoil fortunately so this is low priority right now.


Enjoy
