#FALLOUT 4 COMPANION FOLLOW BUG MOD#

Not a bad thing because I think it fits EllenвЂ™s personality, but itвЂ™s sort of an awkward transition from friends to something more. The dialogue for the optional romance at max affinity is somewhat amusing.

One of AFTвЂ™s features is being able to neutralize or reverse a followerвЂ™s like/dislike reactions, so a possible workaround for you is to use that to null out EllenвЂ™s dislike for chems and haggling.

However, this mod is compatible with AFT (Amazing Follower Tweaks). The latter usually isnвЂ™t a problem for me since I rarely do a play through with them, but her getting upset every time a savvy character haggles a bit is another bummer. While itвЂ™s certainly realistic that some people would be uncomfortable about traveling with someone shooting up Med-X and Psycho, so many of my melee builds depend on these powerful chems that having a companion thatвЂ™s getting pissed off every time I turn into the Incredible Hulk is a bummer.Д®llen also dislikes you bargaining for more money when taking jobs, and hates working with the Brotherhood of Steel. While I applaud the mod authorвЂ™s creation of a character with set motivations and preferences, aspects of EllenвЂ™s personality play a big role in whether I bring her along or not from one play through to another.Дepending on your characterвЂ™s setup, she may not make sense as a companion at all.ДЇor instance, she not only dislikes chem use (losing affinity) but makes pretty judgy remarks about it like, вЂњOh, I didnвЂ™t think you were the type of person that used chemsвЂ¦вЂќ Why thatвЂ™s worth mentioning: The vanilla game has very few moments where a smart, charismatic character can actually affect how things play out as it is, so itвЂ™s always refreshing when a mod does this well. The only other criticism I can think of for EllenвЂ™s quests, without spoilers, is that the dialogue in the final phases of the quests makes it seem like winning the speech challenges allows for a different ending, but it doesnвЂ™t.Д®verything plays out pretty much exactly the same regardless of what you do. Not tying EllenвЂ™s necessary companion progression to one of the harder fights in the game would make it a bit more accessible. It strained roleplaying a bit for her to ask me to go there and for my character to agree, and then ignore it for a good while to power up. One criticism IвЂ™d raise about her quest story is that it culminates in Quincy, which is home to very high level Gunners with rocket launchers, Fatmans, and swarms of enemies that are very tough.Д«est for higher level characters, but a couple times I used Ellen I ran into the situation where IвЂ™d progressed into her quest line at a much earlier level than going to Quincy made sense. SheвЂ™s hanging out in Diamond CityвЂ™s Dugout Inn when you first meet her, looking for someone to help her travel the Commonwealth and flesh out maps sheвЂ™s making. Without discussing spoilers in the later parts of EllenвЂ™s quests, I like the integration into the game world. Without the author having to add more recorded line variations, a simple fix would be to make her chime in less often.

However, despite the high number of overall recorded lines the mod has, I found that EllenвЂ™s comments about my looting containers and enemies got repetitive fast.ДЄfter an hour or two of playing the game with her in tow I was getting sick of the comments. The voice acting and sound quality are up there with the best IвЂ™ve heard from Fallout 4 mods. Poorly recorded vocals can really seem jarring, making it obvious a character is a mod character and not a normal part of the game, so itвЂ™s always refreshing to hear a well-voiced, well-recorded character that blends right in to the experience. It feels organic, and the recording quality of her voice is excellent.
