Here’s a preview of the companion commentary patch that’s in the works. I don’t have a timetable for release at the moment, as I’m not sure when I’ll get all the voicing in. Lines are written, it’s just a matter of recording and adding to the patch.
This is a concept mod James McLauchlan and I have been messing around with for the past week. Obviously James is not going to replace all 20,000 player lines for both the vanilla game, DLCs, and big quest mods without some kind of financial incentive. Perhaps if there’s enough interest we might consider crowdfunding it, but in the end we decided to start with a trailer and go from there.

There’s plenty of reasons why I didn’t make a DLC patch for Interesting NPCs, mostly because I hadn’t played them. In fact, I have a hard time playing much of anything when I can mod stuff instead. I was, however, due to testing reasons, forced to play Nuka World, and I figured I might as well scribble some lines for the companions along the way.

It’s also easier when you only have three companions to deal with as opposed to seven, and even more so when the actors are committed to voicing them. The DLC doesn’t appear to be too long, so the writing should get done rather quickly, but a release depends on how long it takes to get recorded.
I might as well do Far Harbor and Automatron too, but we’ll see how it goes.
