Description
===========
Adds a Brotherhood of Steel Companion to the game, Star Paladin Praetus. He has a small (5 minute) mini-quest to recruit him, and has many unique abilities that you can unlock during said quest and
one hidden one that I won't spoil :)
Perhaps the biggest feature of this mod, is the fact that Praetus has over 800 lines of dialogue. You can ask him what he thinks of almost EVERY location in the vanilla game, and many items.
I tried to make the dialogue as lore friendly and brotherhood-orientated as possible.
Also adds a unique laser rifle, the AER16 which can replace Praetus' default Laser Rifle.
Although it is not essential for you to start a new game, and this mod is 100% compatible with existing games, to get the most out of the mod, I'd start a new game.
*Depending on how popular this mod is, I have series of expansion mods in mind that will add new places to explore and new quests to do with Praetus. *
Requirements
============
Mothership Zeta
Broken Steel
Point Lookout
The Pitt
Operation Anchorage

This mod is an attempt to create a lore friendly Brotherhood of Steel Companion. During the course of developing this mod I set myself some goals:
* Vanilla-lore-friendly. ( I have used my knowledge of the Fallout Series, and studied the Fallout Wiki for reference)
* Well balanced ( His abilities have cool downs, and offsets)
* Interactive(Tons of dialogue and comments)
* Strong enough to survive in battle
* Compatibility (No Vanilla records are modified except a few cells)
FEATURES:
* He has a short mini quest to recruit him
* 800+ lines of dialogue
* Believable backstory
* He can convert Fission Batterys into Energy Ammo.
* He can repair your weapon in the field (once every three quarters of a day, and needs a piece of scrap metal)
* He has UNIQUE dialogue for most vanilla locations, if you ask him what he thinks of them.
* He has UNIQUE dialogue for many vanilla items that he could be interested in, simply ask him.
* He levels with the player and when at level 30, he is at least as powerful as you, some companions are fragile, I wanted a companion who you don't have to baby-sit in combat, and who can actually stand their ground against most foes, but NOT overpowered.
* He has many unique abilities that have to be unlocked
* He has settings that you can change for things like being essential etc.
* He says random comments depending on your location etc.
* He many comments about certain quests and locations.
* He can set a home base.
Where is he?
============
You can find him in the Citadel, A- ring.
Compatability
=============
Due to the fact that many of his custom comments are controlled by scripts that reference vanilla quests and scripts, this may not be compatibile with any mod that changes the structure of vanilla quests. I doubt it would cause major issues except for maybe messing up his dialogue in some places.
Known Issues or Bugs
====================
*When his weapons are drawn, Praetus' animations (like most vanilla companions and some NPCs) will bug out and it will appear that he is using fists and the weapon is attatched to his arm.
I have not found a way to prevent this, but you can fix it by accessing his inventory.
*Sometimes when switching to Praetus' minigun, he will equip it, but the model won't appear. This is fixable by accessing his inventory. This bug occured for me during early testing, but
appears random.
*Praetus may get stuck in some places and/or fail to follow you. This is a vanilla companion issue, and should sort itself out by waiting or moving to another location.
*Praetus' random comments are based on the "GetRandomPercent" command and, may, sometimes not be as random as one would wish. (He may say two comments after each other for example). This is
rare, though.
