Really? I think that sounds like a fun and interesting companion. Especially if there was some humor thrown in for balance. It'd be great to have a well executed male follower around; the vanillas are very disappointing.
Bolded and italicized to emphasis my primary thought when making that conclusion.

But if it does sound like a good idea, I can try and give it a whirl once I knock my current obligations out of the way. The only worry I had is that (aside from people despising my voice, face, and writing) is that he would overlap with too much of Arcade's personality since he'd use sarcasm and dry wit as well, even with the attempts to distance my attempt by focusing on science vs. medicine, etc.
Each time I see a new companion in the Latest Files list on Nexus it's female, and nothing exceptionally good or any different from the other 200 already there.
True, very true. Although, looks like I'm about to join those ranks then since I'm putting one out in the next couple of days (though hopefully it will stand out just a little bit

)
I would like your Ryan in NV. He was good in FO3 even if not finished :goodjob:
Looked like some thought was put into his appearance and personality,
I actually was intending to port him over, and had written a good deal on his dialogue and updated his face a bit. The trouble is, the guy I was intending to voice act it just stopped responding to my messages several months ago.

So in the meantime I've just been doing audio-recycling, even though it's hell working with characters like Marcus.
