About this mod
They call him Mr. Claw, but that\'s Mr. Claw Sir to you. This mod adds a dapperly-dressed deathclaw, that can be recruited as a companion. Because why wouldn\'t you want a deathclaw in a suit watching your back?
- Permissions and credits
**This is my first attempt at scripting since Morrowind, so I can't promise that everything works perfectly. Consider this a Beta release, and if anything does not work with his dialog and AI options, please let me know so I can fix and update. For those who actually know what the hell they are doing, some pointers on what I need to do would be absolutely fabulous, too.**
INTRODUCTION
This mod adds a dapperly-dressed deathclaw, that can be recruited as a companion. Because why wouldn't you want a deathclaw in a suit watching your back?
Mr. Claw is a remnant from Vault 13. He is mute, but has learned to write and communicate in basic gestures. He'll guard your back, carry your stuff, and tear it up, in a general sense. Currently employed at the Tops Casino as a door bouncer, he is perhaps looking for a chance to get out into the open air again. The Tops staff, though happy at the extra security, are worried about fearful patrons frequenting other casinos, and may be amenable to selling his contract.
He might be a bit pricey, but he's a frickin' deathclaw!
INSTALLATION
You can try FOMM or NMM, but my mods are notoriously poor at dealing with those programs. Manual installation is preferable, and is not hard.
Manual Installation: Download the file and extract using winRAR or 7-zip.
--Open your New Vegas folder, which by default install is here:
--c\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas
--You will see a data folder there. Take the data folder from this mod and drop into your New Vegas folder SO THAT IT MERGES!! Make sure that the files merge. If they didn't, then you did something wrong and it won't work. In FOMM or the regular launcher's data files tab, enable the jomrclaw esp. Enjoy.
IN-GAME
Mr. Claw does not have a companion wheel. He has three basic functions: guard a spot, follow as companion, and return to Tops. He will carry items for you as well. All of these are accessed through regular dialog options.
MR CLAW COMPANION BENEFIT: FRIEND OF DEATHCLAWS. While Mr. Claw is actively your companion, other deathclaws will not attack you. If you send him back to the Tops, or
if you insult him, you will lose this benefit.
MR CLAW'S RULES
One: DO NOT INSULT MR. CLAW!! Deathclaws are genetically proud creatures, and will simply not tolerate being insulted. Doing so at any point will cause him to attack you on the spot, whether he is currently your companion or not. You will lose his companion benefits, and he will probably kill you quickly. It may be tempting, but do it at your own risk!
Two: Screenshots taken with Mr. Claw must be epic in nature. Included are six deathclaw creature poses that you can enter through the console. Open the console, select Mr. Claw, and enter the command (no quotes) "playidle deathclawXX" where XX is a number between 01-06.
Other deathclaw vanilla animations -- playidle dteethpick, dcrouchloop, and dclawscrape -- will also work.
Three: If you fire Mr. Claw, he will return to the Tops. Perhaps a bit slowly, I'm still learning how this function works. If there is a problem, let me know.
Four: Reference rule one: DO NOT INSULT MR. CLAW!!
FUTURE PLANS: For now I plan on listening to issues with the mod and updating so what is here works properly. Mr. Claw has a quest associated with his recruitment, and for the time it does not officially end. I plan, eventually, on completing this, but it may be a very long time. For now, simply enjoy your epic companion.
Credits: Llama and Nivea for very helpful pointers. Quetzlcatanango for some support on the Forums. Foxtrotzulu for his basic companion tutorial.
Backsteppo for his creature poses.
LordInquisitor, who's Mr. Geck told me that this could be done.
All of you who kept bringing him up from time to time until I finally finished the damned mod.
Enjoy
