i think molerat doesn't have that many endorsements. I picked these mods in order of increasing endorsements. and i think i missed willow because i have adult content turned off.
@@LostMyPowerArmor I see. Molerat is relatively new compared to those other mods which is probably why it doesn't have as much endorsements. There's Delilah too.
@@LostMyPowerArmor You should never look at endorsements count. Most endorsed mods are hugely outdated or even obsolete while newer mods are much better in quality and compatibility yet they don't have so many endorsements due to not being on site since forever.
@@LostMyPowerArmor I consider Willow one of the best mods ever - the story is great and multi-faceted, the voice acting is fantastic, and the quests are full of pleasant surprises. She even has little conversations with other companions. It’s actually full-on wholesome - but if you woo her successfully and manage to fall in love, you get a few seconds of topless dancing from time-to-time (just like in real life). But that doesn’t happen unless you work towards it. It’s a real shame if it’s considered NSFW; it’s a fantastic mod that’s 99.9% safe for work.
You should look into Molerat, he's very understated despite being extremely well done. I'd put him on the same tier as Hope Lies. (oh yeah and Bad Mothafucka)
Niner and Russell are my faves,and I'm surprised nobody has made an enhancements or fixes mod for the former yet. Haven't tried Hope Lies as of yet though,likely will when I'll be able to play the game.
As someone who's tried to fix up other people's weighty mods, it's simply extremely difficult if you weren't intimately involved in its creation. I'm talking quest mods with dialogue and activating events here and there and nine times out of 10 things arent going to be explained. Better off just making your own mod honestly.
Thanks for doing these awesome videos, they really help to sift through all of the mods we may never have heard of or have considered using but never really committed to. Keep it up man.
I think you should have added on that Russel fits into an entire line of the top quest mods on Nexus by Someguy2000, he will have unique dialogue when doing the various bounties in both NVB I and II, and characters in his quest show up in other someguy2000 quests down the line.
Automatic dislike since Bad mouthaf***ka by Someguy is not number 1 on this list. It includes Oscar worthy dialogue, riveting storytelling, and world class quest scripting. Shame...
Best companion for me is Doris the ninja, made by Stealthdick Yakuza originated from New Reno (for Fallout 2 fans) throwing knives while being a chill goofball always having a world to say in every of your travel Too underrated for this world
@@theveteransergeantUnironically that’s why I kinda like her.When I do mod new Vegas again I kinda wanna have this group of misfits and depressed folks like like one modded companions called Niner from the who was some rebellious junkie. Then having Boone a depressed no bullshit sniper. Maybe that robotic dog and that crazy nightkin mutant companion. Just having this group and some happy to go blonde haired California girl with them who’s “morally correct” is kinda just funny to me.
@@John1045 romancing her is optional. I like her because she has some nice quests and gives you some unique weapons and collectables and even a player home in novac. Not only that but she interacts with other companion events and locations.
No willow, no molerat and no Vanessa. This video is very unique hehe. It's not bad. Willow complains about everything you do in the game and Vanessa just faints and asks for whiskey every 2 minutes. Only molerat is worth it.
I don't really agree. Mole Rat, Hope, and Rosa I would say are some great Companions if you don't want chatterboxes. Scratch Companion is better for those who want to RP more as a parent of a sort. Since there is a Niche Group for this type of stuff. Willow and Vanessa are better for those not want to feel lonely. Really just depends on what companions you want. Depends on your run or your type of niche. Personally, I'd just make them all unessential and take their loot if I'm doing a Psycho run then Rosa is my pick.
@@sinisterisrandom8537 I finished Vanessa's quest and I liked it. So now doing a complete analysis, she is very useful in combat and doesn't bother as much as Willow (not counting fainting). For whiskey, I installed a mod where she stopped asking for it and everything was fine. In the end, I liked her as a companion, I just wish her backstory had more interaction and not just words. Willow, on the other hand, still thinks it's bad. To me, she seems to have the mentality of a 15-year-old teenager who lives in a world of enchanted dreams. It clashes a lot with the game's setting. Anyway, just my opinion, but I respect anyone who likes it.
@@Lcs546I agree with your summary of Willow, it clashes so much with the rough, harsh setting of the Mojave. It’s like, for example: dropping a random pre-war civilian in the middle of Fallout 1, right during The Unity Crisis and expecting The Master to stop dunking people in FEV because it’s “wrong”
Probably not a popular opinion. But I cannot stand Rusell: Always striked me as self-rightious and edgy. Pretty much he is Marko-lite and Marko is the most dissapointing thing about the someguy series. They both share this fascination with killing and domination that strikes me as edgelordy and infantile.
I got my boys Molerat, Velius, Temu, Tags, and a Powder Ganger from Simply Uncut: Hawkins. Yes, I'm doing a morally questionable playthru lmao. I always get modded companions on Evil Legion playthroughs
Niners my all time favorite companion mod. Russel bugged my game after the countless ghoul tunnel and left a wierd filter on my game like i was still in the tunnel
No mention of Willow, Deliah, or Vanessa!? they are literally the top of companion mods. But mentioned story teller and niner who are below them? Willow is the 26th most endorsed mod on nexus. Loaded up with a bunch of unique quest, a player home, the ability to have conversations with other vanilla companions through taking or splicing vanilla companion dialogue and even being able to have conversations with other custom companions like deliah if my memory serves correctly and even additional support to work with other mods and other player homes like the underwater hideout being able to use the ktichen and other things. Imo from a modding standpoint willow and story teller are by far the best mods as far as modding goes. I havent played with russle much. But yea my personal favorite are willow, story teller, and niner.
There was a mod that I found very engrossing back when I was dabling in NV Mods Basically, it let you own and operate a failed strip club in a new worldspace near Goodsprings. You'd hire male and female dancers, repair the operations, and do small side jobs to handle the logistics sides of things. Further on, you get to meet interesting new characters that have their own genre of quests that you can recruit as staff or dancers in your club The mod is very adult oriented, but doesnt contain any nudity or raunchiness by itself (as far as I recall). However, it is a very interesting quasi business simulator, with very interesting NPCs that you meet, recruit, and fight alongside with, and has a surprising depth to its gameplay I can't figure out the name of the mod right now, but I believe it's still on the Nexus, and I do hope you consider playing through it as it's a rather well written and well voice acted mod that fits very well with the dark comedy aesthetic of New Vegas (EDIT: The mod's name is "Coito Ergo Sum")
The first--or 2nd? lol--female would have been GREAT, cause I love gingers lol. And the Storyteller was just a voice actor, not the runner of the channel, who has, sadly, passed on west. These days it's run by Austin Horrigan.
Sorry, but I've never heard of Bella. I really don't think you should have gone with Endorsements to claim it was Popular. Since Rosa, Willow, Hope Lies, and Molerat are still some of the best companion mods out there.
Pretty Good but not perfect. Great Companion though. Even if the Voice is Machine Learning, I bet if someone wanted to further develop Scratch. They could with a real VA who would potentially do an impression of the voice Scratch currently uses but make it feel far more natural.
You could try the Molerat companion. He has good voice acting, is lore friendly and has a backstory too. The last update for this companion was only a year ago too which is another pro in my opinion considering a lot of companion mods are made by authors that aren't around anymore which is a problem if the mod is riddled with issues.
I LOVED his mods before but after replaying I noticed how weird the writing is especially with how it forces you into making you feel guilty about EVERYTHING
"We're dinosaurs a pre war thing or a pre-pre war thing"
"They were a Antediluvian thing."
*Loads Shoutgun*
"SHUT UP HOPE!"
Stimpak feels like they needed to add a filter to the voice actresses for that robot feel.
Surprised you didn't include Willow or Molerat since they are definitely popular companions.
i think molerat doesn't have that many endorsements. I picked these mods in order of increasing endorsements. and i think i missed willow because i have adult content turned off.

Man, I miss Shoddycast's Storyteller's videos. :(
Pretty solid video dude
Appreciate it 😊
I'm so thankful i was playing as a Ghoul character during the russel companion mod cause there was just about too many ghouls there lol
Would love a part 2, good vid.
Ending clip was also really cute.

Niner was my favorite follower mod back in the day. I wish, so much that he was able to be finished
Automatic dislike since Bad mouthaf***ka by Someguy is not number 1 on this list. It includes Oscar worthy dialogue, riveting storytelling, and world class quest scripting. Shame...
I wish New Vegas or 4 had as deep and well written companion mods as Skyrim does
Lucien and Inigo go absolutely crazy
Best companion for me is Doris the ninja, made by Stealthdick
Yakuza originated from New Reno (for Fallout 2 fans) throwing knives while being a chill goofball always having a world to say in every of your travel
Too underrated for this world

Whats the gun animation that youre using ??
im still mad Wong Securitron is gone from all sites. It was a securitron named wong you had to save from a legion tent
That's got to be the best use I've seen for that Muta clip so far 🤣🤣
i was just ghoul enough
Niners my all time favorite companion mod. Russel bugged my game after the countless ghoul tunnel and left a wierd filter on my game like i was still in the tunnel
yeah, i also had that filter problem but going to pipboy and exiting fixed it for me.
I'd also recommend the Marilyn the Securatron and James Randall mods
Joana is the best companion for me. Couple that with Vaanknight's Joana
Willow is the most popular follower for NV, though.

desert natural realism and its reshade preset
"Robotic voice" friendly fire.

just assorted mods for crosshair
new vegas animation overhaul - guns for animations

Hi arizio ❤
Best companion mod is Scratch, change my mind ☕️
Pretty Good but not perfect. Great Companion though. Even if the Voice is Machine Learning, I bet if someone wanted to further develop Scratch. They could with a real VA who would potentially do an impression of the voice Scratch currently uses but make it feel far more natural.
Willow. I cant find Willow here, mate!
Came here to comment the same. No Willow ?! not a complete list then 😁
willow is the reason we cant have good things in this world
found the gooner
there is a backpack mod that adds the backpack from metro exodus
u know what that means
TURN NEW VEGAS INTO METRO EXODUS!!!!!!!
will do my friend
there is no good companion mod
im talking from experience
You could try the Molerat companion. He has good voice acting, is lore friendly and has a backstory too.
