cyberoaches or dogs or lobotomites or anything. There's also upgrade paths for the different bots, and advanced DIY bots. My swarm of robot warriors descends on the unrighteous to bring ignominious death. Matilda now has a safebot, a stovebot, a coffeebot, a jukebot, a TVbot, and a recently recruited Mr Handy. Or a Safebot that can carry all your junk (great with the reduced carry capacity and weighted ammo in hardcore). Or add robot parts and fusion batteries to appliances to make robots like a Stovebot that's a tracked automatic flamethrower or a Coffeebot that shoots superheated poison. You can collect brains - human brains, dog brains - and make them into hoverbots or crawl bots. You get perks that let you repair robots and make them your robot buddies. I go with deranged genius and instead of the wasteland barbarian I was planning, I make a bespectacled nerd robotocist.
Hello, Robco Certified links up with the random alternate start mod. Eventually, I write off Bess, and go back to my mod list to tweak some more.
I run from that, and end up in a fight with a squad of power-armored enclave soldiers. I run from that, and get caught between legion and supermutants. I get caught between some NCR guys and shit load of deadly ghouls.
Immediately, I see the problem with the warzones mod - it's deadly as shit now. I get spawned in up in the upper corner of the map. I decide to go with an ex-NCR scout sniper/pistolero. Added some player houses and several for dog companions, because I miss Dogmeat. I started with the big overhaul mods, the one for sexier energy weapon deaths, a warzones mod, and one for realistic pooping and peeing as an extension on hardcore mode.
