About this mod
Adds a coyote companion to explore the New Vegas wastelands with.
- Permissions and credits
V05 adds follow & wait commands, thanks to Darkfirebird's (AKA CMF's) excellent companion tutorial.
V03 & V04 fixes faction issues.
Few things are as iconic to the Mojave region as the coyote. Totem is a rare coyote companion that will accompany you on your travels through the New Vegas wasteland. Right now he is very basic. He has the required factions (so it's safe to bring him into the strip, Lucky38 etc), a stay/follow command and a some slightly tweaked abilities (levels a small amount, higher perception etc).
He's not a powerhouse like Rex and his confidence is cautious, but he will defend you if you are attacked, and may attack weaker enemies if they get too close. He is in the Goodsprings general store or in the general area (porch etc). This is just the start of a work in progress and is also beta testing for two additional mods I want to develop.
I would like to enhance his abilities/skills in the following ways;
Stay, guard behavior, able to eat & benefit from ingestibles, a low growl when enemies are at the range of his perception (a low tech, weaker version of ED-E's scanner perk), implement use of cover vs firearms, the ability to gain some basic perks as he levels, some easter eggs, etc. Suggestions are certainly welcome. There may also be some future surprises based on native american myth.
To install simply unrar, drop coyote.esp in your data folder and place a check next to the esp in your mod manager. If you are upgrading simply overwrite the old esp.
Totem shouldn't count against your number of followers and uses only vanilla resources.
If you like Totem you may also like Coco a coyote puppy (http://newvegasnexus.com/members/editfile.php?id=39846). And/or a large timber wolf companion (http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=39965)
