Gameplay

Overview:

This small mod just makes dogmeat essential until he initiates dialog with you for the first time, for use with mods that alter his health to be more in line with the other dogs in the game, or that which increases the power of the generic weapons the raiders around him can pull from.


If installed in an ongoing save, this will make him essential until you activate him again in that save for the first time.


Esp-free.


Requirements:

xNVSE

JIP LN

Johnny Guitar

ShowOffNVSE

TTW


Installation:

Regular installation.


Sweet Mod Interactions:

This was requested for use with EDGE's change to his health, from TTW's 500 to 50, a bit above the game's standard 30 for dogs.


Load Order:

Irrelevant.


Bugs:

Please report bugs in the bugs tab, not the posts. I get a notification when bugs are reported, but I have too many mods to keep up on the posts on all of them routinely.


Permissions:

Do whatever.
