Fallout 4 - Blind Betrayal Saving Paladin Danse

[@ThePa1riot]

"I'm going to start my life anew." "Can you start by putting on some pants, man?!"

[@sfields51]

This happens when NPC is in Power Armor and select everything & trade everything. I've stripped Preston & Danse in my first play through.

[@kanecobe]

mate...you were just told to kill a synth and then you go to the brotherhood with a synth as your companion and they just don't give a shit, this game man.

[@Agent_Gentleman]

Kanecobe I know right :)

[@AnEruditeWolf]

Peak Bethesda

[@BoJangles42]

Tbf, Valentine isn’t a Gen-3 synth, so he’s essentially a robot with human-like AI. And he defected from the Institute many years ago.

[@goose93]

They do say to keep him on a short leash and to not let your eyes off him

[@unknownchicken2284]

​@@AnEruditeWolfuse your brain. Nick is a gen 2 synth. The brotherhood uses robots too like liberty fucking prime

[@jayson42na]

What the heck why Danse is naked?

[@Mentos6]

At least he wasn't using a nude mod lmao

[@thesimpletonautum5567]

Holy shit the voice acting was so good

[@fenzelian]

The main lesson from this is that Arthur Maxson is a nepo baby and a terrible commander and project manager.

[@franciscocontreras458]

I never felt so genuinely sad killing a video game character, I wish I knew I could save him

[@nonexistentfish8815]

Cito😔

[@mithrainvictus5777]

Dude, this mission is one of the saddest in this game.

[@Watchdogswrench]

Ik

[@brickleskeetle77]

I'm always intrigued on Maxson's ideology of the Institute and Synths "playing god" or "abusing technology" and yet they're doing the same thing in the Wasteland and its people.

[@Agent_Gentleman]

Agreed. Their ideology and their methods go against each other. And if they were asked about it, they would probably have answered "it's for the greater good"...

[@Chris_Of_Abyss]

I refused to kill my brother Danse, he recruited me, trained me, stood by my side through every step of the way and even gave his sympathy for my lose of my wife and child throughout the game. No, i did everything in my absolute power to keep him alive and now he has his own bunker and i glared Maxson tf down and made him stand down now i can talk to him whenever i please

[@NihilisticSnake]

9:24 Arthur turned into William Shatner for a second there.

[@elinoirsmythe224]

I don't understand what's going on Danse... why are you naked?

[@reaverfang377]

I love that Bethesda made this mission inevitable, making sure that even players who ooo and aaaah the brotherhood and ignore their culty and fashy dialogue that's evolved since 3. No matter what, they will always try to kill your friends

[@alexh6767]

My favourite mission

[@Rekaert]

Ahh, what a day. What a bombshell of a discovery. Danse? Synth? Well, with heavy heart and even heavier minigun, I made that lonely trudge in my T-60 to where the synth had made its lair. I'd promised Haylen I'd talk to it, and I did that for her sake. Good girl, but soft heart. My report regarding her was already prepared and I hoped we could turn her around. So, there I was, talking to the machine that wore my friend's face. I chatted as I would have done to a human, but it was just the programming coming through, an emulation of human responses, not unlike an AI. Finally, I swung up that minigun and held the trigger. Must have a slipped at that moment because the minigun traced a line of fire across the Synth's legs. Synthetic flesh and plastic bone splattered across the floor as it fell screaming. Of course it wasn't actually screaming, and that wasn't actually blood. It were merely playing the part as it's synthetic fluid spilled out. Then I remembered, 5mm rounds are actually kinda pricey, and T-60 foot-stomps cost nothing. When Maxson met me outside, my T-60 treads were grisly with righteous deeds, and he nodded silently. I didn't answer. We both knew the score. If a Synth could get this far into the Brotherhood's command structure, the threat was worse than we'd feared. It was time to clean house. Nulla Misericordia! Ad Victorium!

[@detrimentalist_]

Just Kidding. Ad Victoriam brother!

[@WilliamAlanLong]

The only good quality max and has is his beard and his outfit

[@carlosaguilera91]

How high of a charisma do you have?

[@Agent_Gentleman]

Max Charisma if I remember correctly.

[@kanecobe]

doesn't have to be that high to do this actually, mine wasn't.

[@dwaynetherickjohnson5564]

Q_Q not danse

[@ASAULTZS]

Why ur character look like paul rudd

[@ivanskirchak4935]

Sorry scribe your Sexbot dies!! Ad Victoriam!

[@Inking_Nightmareina]

Which mission is this,

[@RandallFrequentFlyerFlagg]

Too bad you can’t just shoot Arthur Maxson when he shows up outside Listening Post Bravo. Danse will immediately become hostile towards you even though Maxson was there to kill him. I wish there were some way to change that. Arthur Maxson was an insufferable little shit when he was a squire in Fallout 3 and he grew into into a massive turd by Fallout 4.

[@jacefacexx]

First time playing this mission I was ready to end Maxson without a thought. In the cutscenes outside of the bunker, you just saw my character standing protectively in front of Danse, X-02 armor with tesla mods on, and combat shotgun in hand ready to go 😂

[@feckernever8flakes]

I wish there was a way to outright tell Haylen there you have absolutely no intention of killing Danse

[@missionslos8856]

trueeeeee

[@goose93]

So the one thing i took from this video is that the institute gave him a willy

[@RandallFrequentFlyerFlagg]

This is as far as I would ever go with the BoS. Next step after this is murdering the Railroad, and that’s something I’d want to avoid. Too bad the Spoils of War quest requires eliminating the Railroad beforehand ‘cause that mission looks cool. I know that you can get Spoils of War by betraying the Institute to the Brotherhood during the Mass Fusion quest, but I usually get myself banished from the Institute at the end of the Battle of Bunker Hill. I just love telling Shaun how disappointed I am in him.😊

[@sirvincerd9346]

So basically you have to have good charisma in order to spare him. If not then danse will die.

[@Lone_Coyote]

That or drink some beers and equip a nice clean suit + hat.

[@Omnicras]

I really loved the BoS in fallout 3 but I didn't realize that Lyons faction was the exception. Fallout 4 showed me how twisted and cruel the BoS is. They think they're saving the Commonwealth, but they're more like an invading army committing genocide.

[@Agent_Gentleman]

Agreed. They're really paradoxical. Their method and their ideology go against each other.

[@joshflores2107]

This is why I maxed my charisma before doing this mission. I could NEVER execute Danse.

[@ThatOneEntbrat]

guys after saving him it Just says command instead of talk what do I do?

[@mathewcarrlton]

is it possible to keep danse alive and let him still be allowed on the prwyeden

[@Agent_Gentleman]

@@mathewcarrlton With mods, yes, it's possible.

[@DarknessOfRedbone]

Ahhh!! He’s naked!!

[@N1gHtStAlKeR726]

You made that sound like a bad thing 👀👀
