[@universal_wisdom3416]

I saw 1200 fully-voice professional dialogue and had to look in on this. Let’s never forget the Inigo mod for Skyrim, what an absolute gem that was.

[@ghstbstr]

This could be a cool companion mod, but “Make Rosie a Real Doctor” which is free is better and just way more useful, and you can now actually roleplay with Medbay habs.

[@DaAngryMechanic]

@@ghstbstr I don't know if it's just my luck, but I constantly catch her sandboxing in the infirmary on any of my ships. Absolutely love that mod

[@Nzchimeran]

Yes fantastic she can heal us on our ship. I am just waiting for the Crimson Pirate habs to get an infirmary and a 2x2 mess hall. Now with working mess hall mod, crew will come and eat together and cook, it is so cool.

[@Trifocal7777]

9:23 is hands down the greatest and most accurate reaction to seeing the Eon any star field player could ever have lol.

[@mickey3448]

Save money, remain loyal to Andreja.

[@kasper_429]

Smart man. AnBaeja for life. 🤣 for real though.

[@1Bearsfan]

Andreja is my favorite Constellation member, but even she bitches about piracy and such, so once I wife her up and station her at an outpost as I do with all Constellation members besides Vasco once I finish their quests.

[@helygg8892]

May the great serpent bless you sir

[@DirgeofOmega]

She does have commentary when you're fighting in space and editing in the ship builder. Think of her as a replacement for Sam Coe (Rank 4 Piloting) and she doesnt have baggage aka Cora. Her quest is kinda buggy, you'll just have restructure your load order for her to get it to work.

[@DaAngryMechanic]

I never could get mine to work. I just un-installed it. Pretty frustrating after I paid for it

[@1Bearsfan]

I still have Cora even though I grounded Sam. I like it, especially since you can now exchange books with her for XP. Also, Robin is a great replacement for my old Sam replacement Amelia Earhart.

[@craig.a.glesner]

How do you need restructure? Does she have to be in a particular place, if so, where?

[@syoung2333]

I find that sometimes her mouth isn't moving and she can't help but to keep her helmet on by default unless you give her something else to wear I don't get it this thing is definitely buggy and needs a whole lot of rework

[@renaigh]

Improved Follower Behaviour could be incompatible with custom followers and might be conflicting with her AI. In Skyrim, custom followers had their own independent scripts, which allows them to be in your party alongside vanilla followers and that also meant mods that affect vanilla NPCs weren't compatible.

[@CrimsonFlyboy]

I did think that, I may just uninstall the follower improvement as I haven't noticed any change in my companions. Gary is the only one that follows me anywhere

[@CoopCollins]

This mod is broken. The first mission she gives me on neon cannot be triggered. Don’t purchase

[@Ercomann]

She seems cool, and it seems like the modder(s) put a ton of effort into making her. If the bugs get ironed out, then I might buy the mod. Thanks for the review, Crimson.

[@sojufett7434]

Robin Locke is the buggiest mod available. If she actually is in the bar, she has no perks for me. Then she just shows up in a different place than her quest marker after you drop her off. I finally found her, and it started mid-quest. I had no idea what was going on. All for her to still have no perks once I finished her quest. What a waste of money.

[@renaigh]

it is the very early in the SF Creations life cycle, issues like this should be expected.

[@V3LOC1TYFTW]

​@@renaigh not it shouldn't. These people shouldn't even price these mods like this when they are buggy overpriced messes.

[@renaigh]

@@V3LOC1TYFTW if bugs are deal breaker why are you here?

[@enokarden3205]

@@V3LOC1TYFTW I couldn't agree more. I get the impression that the mods were more carefully selected for Creation Club Fallout 4 and Skyrim SE.

[@sojufett7434]

@@renaigh Fair enough, but this is a paid mod … And it has not been updated at all. I haven’t had issues with any other mod, but I’ve seen a lot of folks having issues with this one. My point is when I pay real money for it, I do expect it to work with few issues, if any. This one just has way too many … No perks, broken quest, her liking actions from across the universe and prior to even meeting her, and sometimes just not even showing up. It’s ridiculous.

[@brittonwise2203]

Love ur videos man, you provide the content I want & have been searching for with SF - and its only improved with the creation kit / club. I watch every vid. Thank you, keep it up!

[@BR-kq7kt]

Yeah, I thought it would be cool to have a custom companion like in Skyrim or FO4, so I spent the money. I missed the part in the description where the mod was bugged. Totally wasn’t expecting to pay for that. Now I’m waiting for a patch before I recruit her again, but she still “likes” it every time I modify my ship, even though she’s still down in the Well. Wish I’d seen this video earlier.

[@PatJWilliams]

The UC Flygirl makes me think of J.Lo & the Fly girls dancers on In Living Colour back in the day

[@AcBaLkX]

Man i wish mods like this wouldn’t disable achievements, there is no way to circumvent this on console currently

[@CrimsonFlyboy]

Yep, bethesda needs to hurry up and sort that out, if your paying for a mod, achievements need to be allowed

[@mtfreeman800]

Coffee time! Nah, a finicky companion I do not need. Thanks for the review and video, saving me money all the time.

[@BlazinBrazen]

Good Stuff Crimson. I downloaded/installed the mod. I removed her helmet to see what she looked like and I interacted with her, but her lips didn't move when she talked (lol). that was fine because the rest of her interactions were great.

[@taylakelley6361]

Lip sync is broken right now do to creation kit issue

[@Trifocal7777]

Lol the thing I don't like about this mod is the way it talks about our characters as being essentially some inexperienced rookie. In universe my character would make her look like the rookie, in every regard, especially piloting lol, due to the lore and imagined backstory I created for my character for roleplaying haha.

[@kasper_429]

With the custom character mods that are out, I hate that they can't animate their faces/mouths when they're talking. It kinda breaks the immersion, lol. With the Creation Kit, you'd think there would be tools in there for facial animations, but I guess not. Idk how any of the modding stuff works, though. Hopefully they add that function soon and all of the custom character mods will get updated to act like actual characters/NPCs.

[@steveswartz6707]

I have found that Robin waits to attack so it doesn't spoil stealth attacks by the player.

[@briancowan4318]

Interesting review,it show a lot of potential. I think I’ll wait and let the mod go through a revision or two before I add it.

[@CommanderStarfireWolf]

Even though Robin costs $5 she is well worth the one time price. I had her and the mod RoboD06-M34T by Fallout27032012 both with me. Both companions don't fill up a companion slot so that means you can have them both follow you while having a third companion with you. Just last night I had the two with me and I took them into a POI that had 55 of the hardest alien creatures in it and the two cleared the place out as if it was nothing while I stood back and let them have their fun as I looted the place. They both are also great to have if your playing as a UC Vanguard character. I also loved the fact that I could command her to do things or make her sit on my ship where I wanted her to sit.

[@killzoneisa]

I think that could be the SY-920 Pilot Space Helmet and maybe the matching suit.

[@sdefiel3719]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll wait. S

[@namaikikitsune]

Was it ever mentioned if the verified creators had early access to the Creation Kit? I expect non Bethesda mods to be of dubious stability until the CK has been out for longer.

[@1Bearsfan]

I use her as my exclusive follower now. She has the ion because she has pistol cert. I just arm her with a better pistol (currently a fully modded Trickshot), the commands are still in the game, they use them for the manipulation skill tree I think. I also have her kitted out damn good with stuff from Zone and a spare Mantis helmet I wasn't using. She's a badass. The thing with her Hemet can be rectified by taking it off her, although she will eventually respawn it and wear it along with whatever else you gave her at the same time. She fights well enough for me (as well as any follower can in Starfield), but, of course one should never actually rely on them. I mainly choose them for their voicelines and some of her's are really funny. Especially, I changed to Freestar my last time through the Unity and so she keeps making jokes about me being an inbred moron from the shallow gene-puddles of Akila 😂

[@1Bearsfan]

The quest works fine. I did it. It just triggers over time. The maim thing she likes is alcohol. If you drink alcohol she triggers the "Robin likes that".

[@MrImmortal709]

Good Companion, the no facial movement is a bit strange that they allow such mods to be sold when their CreationKit is not able to really deliver.Also her Quest is utterly broken as markers are not even close to where they should be, invisible Robin if she has any gear on she did not come with and more. We can also see another major flaw in Starfields companion overall int his video, even if you get attacked your Companions do nothing, you can't give them the order to attack or have any setting that would let you decide how they should act when an enemy is nearby, shoot, ignore until they shoot or ignore completely, It is quite baffling how little their AI has improved over the last decade, and they still call this a "next gen" game., heck I would even say their Ai got a lot worse since NPCs acted a lot better and on their own in Oblivion and Morrowind.

[@IwanDierckx]

I've been enjoying this compagnon a lot. Very refreshing from the whining vanilla compagnons. It is a pity the quest is buggy but have high hopes this will be patched and even without a quest this mod is more than worth it.

[@Nzchimeran]

Bought it and she's broken. This is what I don't like, paying for something and three months later its not been fixed. Firstly she wasn't in the bar, but sitting outside in another seat, easily missed Her helmet can not be removed, even taking it out of her inventory or change armor , it just respawns. It is super annoying. The rest is actually quite good, she scouts, has good dialogue, has good skills but the developer of this mod, we paid good money and its been three months and she is still broken.

[@destroyerofkings3457]

So from what ik, it's not the developers fault it's Bethesda's creation kit, which can only be fixed by them until they patch that his mod won't work cause this affect other companion mods as well.

[@Nzchimeran]

@@destroyerofkings3457 I sorted it. She's actually the best follower I have. Her dialogue is brilliant, she's definitely not PG rated and really hates Va' Ruun . So funny to listen to. Also her dialogue during space combat is very good. The scout ahead option is really excellent for ship boarding. I can send her up into the enemy cockpit and she will clear it out. Very happy with this mod, I completed her mission and I highly recommend everyone get this mod, it is well worth it.

[@crikeste4441]

Pretty sure the ability to command companions is in the base game.

Ive encountered more bugs with almost all of the few paid mods I've tried and very few out of the dozens of free ones.

[@northwoodsdad7506]

People need to reject this idea of paid mods for half finished games. This is the whole plan of Bethesda. Do a halfa$$Ed job on a game and just charge people to finished their horrible game. Reject this manipulation now or developers will continue and expand this manipulation.

[@thomaskinyon2984]

I've had this mod since it launched & I've never seen her spawn in at Jake's or anywhere. Idk if I'm doing something wrong?

I found her outside, off to the right from the side door. She’s in that little nook, in the back. Well, for me anyway.

Have the issues been fixed with this mod? Her helmet is removed in atmospheric conditions/ towns etc? I play a pirate, is she cool with attacking ships and boarding/stealing?
