    Yeah, I can’t remember any either. I just assumed they were characters I never talked to since the game has so damn many good ones.

      I’m just salty that you can’t romance Veronica or Christine or even let the two of them know how the other is doing. I just wanted the both of them to be happy (。╯︵╰。)

        Now I want to go back and play through Mass Effect again. There are so few games where you can set your friends up with each other. It’s usually “the player shacks up with one and the others remain all alone”.

        Ah right!

        I thought that Veronica was lesbian, but I couldn’t 100% remember if that was corrrect, so I didn’t include it in my other post.

        Now, we are getting into fan canon territory at this point but:

        https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/84272

        Tale of Two Wastelands (FO3+NV) modmod, allows an alternate ending for Veronica.

        ~~https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/62173~~

        Adds Christine as a fully realized companion/follower.

        https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/74426

        Erp, that one’s deprecated and has been rolled into this modpack, that adds a bunch of DLC characters as full companions.

        Christine

        … If you speak to her in the vicinity of Veronica, there will be some special dialogue and a unique perk granted

        I’ve not actually used these (aw fuck, here I go playing New Vegas again), but these may scratch your itch.

        Also… there are a fair deal of romance overhaul /expansion mods, I don’t know if any of them do anything specifically with Courier + Veronica or Veronica + Christine off the top of my head.

        And finally… there are a series of essentially … lets say XXX rated and/or fairly to highly problematic mods for New Vegas on LoversLab.

        It… might be possible to configure them to work with these other mods, or they might just do something somewhat analagous, or… they might grant you the ability to put Veronica into a breast milking contraption, while you are busy crafting a cure for the STD you picked up by raw dogging a fiend who did not succesfully ambush you.

        Hazard Suit On before you look into any of those mods lol.

          Veronica is an explicit lesbian who used to date Christine, you just can’t romance her or any of the companions.

          And yes, I know there are mods, but it’s hard for mods to be good enough that they don’t subtract from the base experience. In a game like Skyrim, the bar for integrating content is lower because of how compartmentalized everything is (and the writing, while consistently not horrible, isn’t that great). With New Vegas, there is a lot more to fuck up, so I’m hesitant to add mods for fear that it’ll make the game worse (I’ve certainly experienced such mods, even in Fallout 4 and Skyrim modding scenes). The biggest thing I’ve learned about modding is which mods not to install in the first place, and for New Vegas that’s most of them.
