**CREATED & RELEASED, ON 2024/01/19**
- Initial Version.
**DESCRIPTION**
This mod offers a creative workaround for recruiting Codsworth in Fallout 4, particularly useful for players using mods like Wasteland Operator that alter the main quest and impede the standard recruitment process. By intelligently adjusting dialogue conditions, it enables players to recruit Codsworth directly through conversation, without the need to complete traditional quest requirements in Concord. This dialogue tweak effectively streamlines Codsworth's recruitment, making him available as a companion earlier in the game and providing more flexibility in how players assemble their team. While currently a functional solution, future updates may enhance and refine this approach as a deeper understanding of the game's dialogue system is developed.
**FEATURES**
- Early recruitment of Codsworth.
- Simple edits, High compatibility.
**USAGE**
1. Install with mod manager or manual install, either way its just 1 esp for the Data folder.
2. Go to Sanctuary talk to Codsworth, but, as soon as Codsworth mentions searching the neighborhood, then select option 3 - "theres nothing left here its all gone" to exit the conversation. Or otherwise, if you do not wish to use the mod, just select one of the other options.
3. Engage in conversation again with Codsworth, and it will ask you if you wish to recruit, so say option 2 - yes.
4. Instead of following Codsworth around the neighborhood, Codsworth will now be following you.
**REQUIREMENTS**
- None other than the base game.
**BUGS**
- When recruiting will always mention about checking out Concord nearby.
- Tested For and passed ok: Recruit > kill all bugs in neighborhood then dismiss/recruit. SetStage MQ102 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 while dismiss/recruit at each stage. Clear concord then recruit/dismiss.
- Further testing required without wasteland operator.
**NOTATION**
- Developed in order to be able to test my "Female All The Companions - A Worthy Improvement" mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/77622) with Wasteland Operator.
