[MEGATHREAD] Fallout 4 || Contraption, Vault-Tec, Nuka World

I hate the prebuilt story of being a single mom looking for your child.

I try my best to ignore it. But of course you get to a story quest and it's all about "muh baby! muh Shaun!". Kinda kills it for me.

Story is too predictable for me to even play it. I predicted the entire story before the game came out and before rumors came out.

I was right!

I don't like adding to the complaining but the brotherhood of steel is extremely loving handicapped

here you have one of the top dogs in the BoS turns out to be a synth and even though he's a thinking, feeling machine who has his own morals that align with the BoS but as soon as they catch wind that he's a robo dude they want his loving head

I can't tell if it's stuffty writing or if the BoS is meant to be employed by mentally disable manchildren

and to add to that the whole I, Robot overtone throughout the whole game feels more hamfisted than anything. Nick Valentine is seriously cool but you really can't expect to player to feel sympathetic for an entire forgetin' robot race of mary sues who may or may not automatically shoot at you regardless of your stance

This is true unless you play Fallout 3 and Fallout tactics.

The brotherhood are starfishs.

[IkeTheGeneric]

I get that the BoS is popularly depicted as overzealous bigots but the character's writing is so sloppy it's jarring and awkward

SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT: [Maxson acts like Synth!Danse stuff on his birthday cake or something when he learns that Danse is a synth. Seriously, he shows up instantly and tells the same person that Danse mentored to just straight up find and destroy him

I get that they hate synths but this really takes away from any character development because Maxson's attitude switched like a forgetin light switch, from 0 to 100 and everything that previously happened doesn't even matter contextually

At that point he isn't even really a character, just a waking, talking plot device. It's forgetin shallow]

Oy VEY goyim, your privilege is showing!

The hell are you on about?

i didn't like how all the factions hype up the coursers as really strong and then I beat one's head in with a sledgehammer at like level 16

I'm running out of different character builds to play, so far I've done:

- Power Armor with energy weapons for the Railroad
- Power Armor with melee for the Brotherhood
- Stealth with long range weapons and high Luck for the Institute
- Charisma & Luck with automatic weapons for the Railroad

Maybe I should just wait for some mods to get released that add a decent amount of new content before playing more

Explosive gunslinger pistol man is a fun build.

I need this in my life, can I make my long awaited bladed boxing glove (and with legendary crafting I can have the knockback that knocks power armor for a good distance)
