I’m very pleased to announce that Daniel - The Remnant’s first feature update is now live!
Here’s what you can expect from Daniel as of the new update:
America Rising 2 Integration
The highly anticipated integration with America Rising 2 - Legacy of the Enclave is finally here! Daniel now has commentary for every single main, side and repeatable quest in the mod, as well as two new quests that tie-in with his former life.
Vertibird Upgrades
Shortly after concluding Daniel’s personal story, he’ll come to you with an idea about how he can upgrade his Vertibird - by giving him Tesla Science Magazines he can learn from.
After each upgrade, Daniel’s Vertibird will be able to:
- Pilot itself, so you can use it even with Daniel is following you
- Provide fire support, helping you clear out particularly dangerous areas
- Have more powerful weapons, now with incendiary ammunition
Far Harbor Commentary
Alongside America Rising 2 Integration, Daniel now has full commentary for all of Far Harbor’s main, side and repeatable quests.
In addition to this, he also has a full stack of commentary for unique locations and enemies within Far Harbor.
Party Banter & Character Interactions
Daniel now has conversations he will have with any of the base-game followers over the course of your journey.
He also has various conversations he’ll have with the many vendors and bartenders of the Commonwealth - though he may struggle with a certain noodle vendor in Diamond City.
Remote Orders
Once Daniel trusts you enough, he’ll hand you his Remote Program. From this holotape, you’ll be able to:
- Tell Daniel to follow you, even if he’s currently at home
- See where Daniel is (and place a marker on him, if you want)
- Call in his Vertibird (when you unlock it)
And more!
Bugfixes
In addition to all the new features, there’s a few major bugfixes too. The main ones being:
- The crashing some users experienced whenever Daniel returned a magazine should now be resolved
- Instances where Daniel would sometimes go missing should now be resolved
Closing Thoughts
Thank you all for the generous support you’ve shown for Daniel! Seeing how many people have been enjoying having him along for their adventures has truly been heartening.
There are plans for further DLC commentary as well as commentary for some of the popular mods and Creations, though I’m not able to give ETAs at this moment.
That said, this does bring Daniel to nearly 4000 lines of fully voiced dialogue! Making him the character with the single most lines of dialogue I have ever written. I’m very proud of how he’s turned out, and again, I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying him.
