Veronica Santangelo Voiced Companion TEST

An extremely simple none voiced companion mod that over time will faithfully recreate Veronica Santangelo from Fallout: New Vegas inside Fallout 4. With over 150 lines of dialogue for Veronica alone (fully lip synced), and including around 60 lipped male AND female dialogue lines, this is JUST the beginning!

Fully voiced version available elsewhere, THIS is the Nexus friendly version that contains NO ripped assetts from New Vegas!

Please watch the video included for links and information regarding the Fully Voiced Version. - Mirrored Link To Guide Also Inlcluded Above!!!

I would LOVE to find a suitable voice actress to re-record existing dialogue as to make this mod fully Nexus friendly, feel free to contact me.

Find her at Abernathy Farm (for now, she will be relocated as progress on her quests and dialogue trees is made, probably a more Brotherhood occuppied area such as the Police Station, i'm not sure yet though)..

You can trade items with her, recruit, fire, and re-recruit her. You can talk to her (albeit on very basic things, what's your name, your story etc etc, but these all lead to dead ends for now as it's planned for them to lead to different scenes and quests as work progresses on the mod). She is compatible with 'Everyones Best Friend', as I use this and it works fine. (Should also work with Unlimited Companions etc, please let me know as I haven't tested all Companion/Follower mods for compatibility)

To be clear, at the moment this mod is extremely basic, she has no affinity system (yet), she isn't romancable (yet), and she won't really care who you kill or side with (for now), as I am new to the Creation Kit I wanted to keep it simple for the tester/teaser release.

I will make a video soon to showcase her features so far and talk more in-depth about what I have planned for her, and when to expect updates.

I would advise installing this via NMM, or noting down what files you've installed if you prefer to install manually. As winter is coming thick and fast I will be doing more work on this mod over the next few months, so expect updates!

I would love to collaborate with members on this mod so we can faithfully recreate one of the best Companions from New Vegas with much more haste than I could muster alone. However, as stated in the permissions, PLEASE do not re-upload, use my files, or work on this mod without my consent. As this is my first major project and worked on from the ground up, I would like to see this become something special. (Message me or comment to ask me about collaboration, ALL and ANY help will of course be credited).


*NOTE* I use CBBE Bodies by Caliente, Eyes of Beauty by LogRaam & Darker Clothes Retexture by sardonumspa in screenshots, so results of appearance may vary.
*PPS* I am now using Thaylar's Clothing ReColor - 4k in new screenshots (Veronica's outfit is in Clothes/Residents folder - Resident6Body and Resident6Cap).. It is more colourful and looks closer to New Vegas clothing.





To summarise!

What Veronica CAN do:

Talk to you, with many memorable lines from New Vegas. (Is it a dress?!)
Trade items with you.
Become your companion.
Be fired from your party.
Be re-recruited.
Fight for you with the might of Fisto.
Respond to combat with dialogue (combat to alert, alert to lost, normal to combat, in pain, retreat etc)
Can be sent to unlocked Settlements, and told to Wait/Follow.
Has her own Sandbox and will interact with things around her when idle.
Has similar stats she has in New Vegas, but may need buffing more in my opinion.
She is compatible with 'Everyones Best Friend', as I use this and it works fine. (Should also work with Unlimited Companions etc, please let me know)
Make you laugh with her sassy ways and fantastic voice acting from New Vegas.

What Veronica CAN'T do:

Care about who you kill or about your questionable morality. (Affinity system is on the top of my to-do list though)
Have deep/rich conversations as my knowledge of the dialogue system is very basic at the moment.
Dialogue for when the player pickpockets her, I have created the lines but they aren't in game, probably linked to the affinity system, I presume.
Look much like Veronica in my opinion, I really tried to mess around with different settings, but alas, it wasn't my focus to begin with, honestly.
Explain why she's in the Commonwealth, I couldn't think of a good enough excuse.. She's just there, why anything?
Be in a sensible location, since I placed her in Abernathy Farm and I've been testing her, it made sense to keep her there, for now.
Be fully voiced simply with this mod alone, more work is required, I daren't violate terms of service again!



UPDATE LOG:

Added over 50 dialogue lines for Veronica.
Added more Player dialogue lines.
Re-arranged dialogue tree to make more sense.
Added random responses to make dialogue less repetative.
Trimmed audio to avoid awkward pauses/interuptions during conversation.
Started on "Get to know each other" dialogue trees, both Player and Veronica.



Permissions/Usage:

Unfortunately this is a project I would like credit for as this is my first major project, however, I am more than willing to collaborate with other members, I just can't allow anybody to re-upload my work or work on it without crediting me in this instance, sorry! By 'my work', I simply mean the scripting and structure of the mod, NOT the character, or the dialogue etc.

To Do List:

Affinity System (Crime detection, romancable, relationship thresholds etc) - Dialogue lines already done, needs scripts and scenes that link to affinity quest stages correctly.

Extend Dialogue Tree further.

Work on appearance to make her look closer to Veronica Santangelo, albeit slightly older than you may remember her being in New Vegas.

Add the classic 'Dress' fetch quest for something to do with her and link current obvious quest starting dialogue to actual quests.


Thanks,
Towdogg!
