(Kit herself is minimum level 34, as are many of the mod’s characters.)īy the time the player is level 34 he or she will likely have either developed these hacking/lockpicking skills themselves and/or also already been to many of the areas for which Kit’s ability to help would’ve been useful. This is a cool feature, but one that may seem a little out of place if you’re a higher level character meeting Kit for the first time like the mod seems to assume you are. In the beginning you can have her pick/hack Novice security, and after enough successful attempts she’ll be able to beat Advanced, Expert, and Master. Like other companions such as Heather, Kit needs training to ultimately beat higher levels of security. Kit will automatically understand and rush over to it to begin her work. That’s avoided by being able to put your reticle on the locked item and pressing ‘R’. That in itself is pretty slick, especially in smaller rooms where the normal method of commanding a companion to pick is difficult because you’re often close enough to the locked item that the use key is still stuck on the player doing it. The first is the ability to use a hotkey to ask Kit to hack terminals and pick locks. There are two bits of interesting functionality the mod author added to Kit, however, that are pretty different from other companions. In one of my play throughs I joined up with Kit rather early on, and was amused at remarks she made when I visited Diamond City for the first time and met Piper and Mayor McDonough. Kit can be commanded to move and wait like a regular companion and has a ton of observational comments to all sorts of places you visit. I’ve played through the mod 2-3 times since figuring them out and have had a pretty reliable experience. With a few simple FYIs you can usually avoid issues.

Note: the mod has a couple known buggy areas, which I’ll discuss further down. (I’ll break this out into sections so you can skip around as needed.) There’s more to it than that, but let’s get into some of the features of the mod first.
