Starfield A Paid Mod Worth Your Money DEREK 

I find it noteworthy that a girl's doll marketed in the 1960's continues as a cultural reference. "Chatty Cathy" I'm old enough to remember the commercials and the girl next door getting one for Christmas.

He got annoying really quick. Kept repeating the same lines and killed a bounty I was trying to capture. I don't remember where I left him

Thanks for the overview of DEREK, agree on the character build quality.

Damn, he's a professional Yapp-ologist

I hope you all like toast

Now all we need is a couple of fully fledged romanceable companions. Preferably from a crimson fleet faction, ones that don’t judge you or criticise your every action and is not boring. Honestly this feature ruins the gaming experience. And I’d happily pay for the mod.🙃

Thanks. I love his other mod Professor Boon for Skyrim. I love when DEReK whistles Darth Vaders theme 😂

Starfield's version of C3-PO 😂 When I begin my journey to explore every system of the galaxy, I'm getting D.E.R.E.K.

This is a good series. I appreciate that you stay true to the Starfield theme.

Thanks for this- I purchased him right after mods dropped and had him tag along only for an hour or so- then promptly forgot about him; I'll bring him back into the fold tonight. He feels a bit like having Robin William's genie from aladdin- especially in combat where he'll cycle through different accents and attitudes. It really is so very well done. The fact that he didn't need to have lip synch or facial animation done really helps- a big reason why Robin Locke feels a bit lackluster

I agree that this is a professional quality mod. The character is slightly less annoying than The Annoying Fan, but he is a good distraction and bullet sponge and can take down enemies. He is also like Dogmeat in Fallout, in that he does not take up a companion slot. I have a few niggles, however. Even the modder (who seems impossible to contact) can't get his name right. The game identifies him as D.E.R.-3K, but he is listed in creations as DEREK. There is no mention of what his name abbreviations mean. Nut again, this does not really distract from how good or bad the mod is. My primary gripe is that I have a three seat cockpit and instead of hiding away like a nice robot as Vasco does, he plops himself right in th4e front windows. This can get you killed quickly as once the cursor passes over him you lose the HUD and can no longer fight or maneuver. saving and loading may bounce him out of the way. If not quitting and relocating is necessary. As with the game itself, there are a lot of possibilities with this character, but the modder is elusive and getting him to correct glitches or discuss expansions is not possible. I'm not sorry I paid for it and still use him.

Damn I was like how does it know my name? But it’s apparently just a part of his dialogue.

If you are the kind of person that spends money on mods in games this is an excellent purchase. Of all the money I've ever spent on Bethesda games this was the best $3 I ever spent. Side note take him to the key.

There's a new Creation called Kilroy - Multi-Modal Companion that seems pretty interesting. Price is zero Starfield bucks.

Is everyone Dan ? because my character is a woman and I don't think she will like being called Dan .

Very Douglas Adams-ish.

Derek sounds like obsidian ant. And the dialog sounds like it is from the people who made voice attack.

Derek is a huge help if u play with 75% xp extreme mode snd he gives u toast... Someone in the comments said take derek to the key no way mathias is my companion forever im going to take him thru the unity lol

Thank you for the video, I was curious about him and this just popped up in my recommended. I’ll probably get him!

He says more words in one minute than I say myself all week. That’s a whole lot to listen to. I relish the loudness of silence, so no I’ll not enjoy him as a companion. Yet an interesting mod from a scientific approach.

I have 300 credits left im going to download this mod if I ever get bored or need a laugh

Free toast and a fallout new vegas robot cowboy voice

out of curiosity, do you play on pc or console? I know creations applies to both but I'm just curious.

Wow! Thank you so much my friend. You are now my official endorsed Starfield review content creator. (Subscribed). It was very kind of you, in the wake of the negative gravy train of Starfield mod reviews, to focus upon Derek in a positive light, I am very happy that you have. It gives me a warm sticky feeling inside like Christmas. Bless you and all you do henceforth. 😀

I don't know if my mod is broken but my Derec is a nightmare, it doesn't diappear in the ship like Vasco so it blocks my path, then when he's in the ship he CONSTANTLY repeat the same phrase, like every second, it drive me crazy! And his "story" dialogues stops after the "ACCESS DENIED" and no more from there... worst paid mod so far 💀

I think the paid companions are actually quite good tbh👍

I swear I had that for free 🤣

I'm getting him all because of this video!!!

Cool mod but I can't get it. I'm on PC. Every time I open the creations tab, it disables mods, changes my load order and breaks a bunch of mods. Creations may be great for console but it sucks on PC.

I want an HK-47

I will definitely buy Derek. Thanks for the review

No thank you.

Starfield Compendium (also new) seems very interesting to me as an avid outpost builder. Price is 600 Starfield bucks though.

Best before you buy video.

Derek is a fun one, only small change I would like would be get out of the way of doors! Thanks for video, well done.

No. He's not worth it at all. Gives you fucking toast. Toast! I spent $3 for toast.
