Assuming Fenway Park was always painted green, that would be changing 375 years of tradition since it was built in 1912.

[@evanharrison4054]

"Despite the name, the Green Monster was not painted green until 1947; before that, it was covered with advertisements. The Monster designation is relatively new. For most of its history it was simply called "The Wall"." In case you are interested.

[@LibertyPrime2550]

@@evanharrison4054 Fascinating! Thank you for letting us know! :)

[@kikrinman1450]

You're expecting Mantis to look beneath the surface of these facts, rather then rushing it out.

[@MrRickulus]

@@evanharrison4054 That is actually not fully true. If you read the book that the Wikipedia article references, it actually says pitchers began referring to it as "the green monster" after it was painted. Even if it took 10 seasons for pitchers to refer to it that way, it would still have been The Green Monster for the majority of it's lifetime.

[@patrickiamonfire965]

You can ambush the ambushers. By simply going through the back entrance or if inside go to the left where you will find a door which leads you to a ramp and their victims. Or you could wait it till two of them come searching for you.

[@Sideway8]

if you sneak in and wait, one of them will suggest its taking too long and they should check the out back, the other tells him to shut up and wait, the first guy keeps suggesting they check the back until the second one shoots him for not shutting up lol

[@ODST_Parker]

I love that "ambush" so much for the unique interactions you can have on entering either side of the building.

[@Transmodulator]

There is also a side entrance, which leads you into the cellar, from there you can go into the front room, to the back entrance and to the first floor, i always choose to sneak to first floor, because it's best to ambush the raiders. Always do this quest with piper, because you can max out your affinity very fast with her if you cheat. I used every colour which is possible till today, ok tradition is green but you get paid anyway, so what the heck.

[@thebigyes8482]

Also if you just kill the girl before she makes it inside, the raiders won’t be aware of your presence

[@phoque022]

my first playthrough I genuinely had this feeling that I was gonna be ambushed if I go inside, and to my surprise I was right

[@mushroomsoup2866]

I always paint the wall the wrong colour when I'm doing alternate start playthroughs, purely so that Piper actually has a legit reason to be calling me Blue this entire time

Another detail in Hardware Town is that if you take the collapsed floor in the first room of the store and go around the initial ambush, there'll be dialogue from the raiders asking where you went. One of them even walks to the front of the store to check if you were still there

[@ArchHippy]

I recall it also being possible to kill the raider who tries to bait you inside, and you can listen to them wondering what's taking her so long.

[@chungusbooper]

Two of them keep talking until one gets annoyed and shoots the other.

[@HomeCookinMTG]

@@chungusbooper I always go in via the storm door on the side of building, so I pretty much always hear this dialogue.

[@Calbeck]

It's one of the few really well-thought-out narrative scenes in the game where what you do changes what happens.

[@BouncingTribbles]

You can also sneak up on the back door. There are two raiders talking about an encounter with someone who can do sound effects

[@freastt]

I actually kind of like how the wall looks with blue more than green lol Also how the heck does he paint the entire wall with just a small splotch of paint

[@aguaaqua6343]

Master painter

[@whitworth5s248]

You give him the full can. It's still a stretch to paint the entire wall with a single can, but he has more than a splotch to work with.

[@isaiahbritt662]

I've noticed that detail in Fallout 4...pretty funny to see Abbott get mad.

[@Sideway8]

If you sneak around back of hardware town, the one raider will tell the other about a guy who came in and when they ambushed him they realised he was using fake weapons and just making super realistic sound effects and they were so "wtf" about it they just let him escape

[@rubylicious977]

Yeah he was chucking rocks but making sounds of pulling and dropping pins and explosions

[@jesusguerrero7056]

and i forgot where but there are 2 more raiders that talk about the same guy, saying he pretended to drive off on a motorcycle or something

[@MisterJohnDoe]

And when you’re listening to the raider conversations inside the building, they even go something like: “Maybe he got through the back?” “Nah, we got two guys over there.”

[@SFCJChase]

They'll even call him, ironically enough, crazy and say they need to watch out for those types.

[@peterman2625]

The guards have unique dialogue if you do that, in my playthrough I went for yellow and the guards complain it looks like pi*s. Anyone knows what they say when you go blue?

[@Roonayy]

They'll say something like "you're the one who turned the wall into some kinda blue monster?"

[@Foxingg]

It's funny that it looks better as both yellow and blue

[@SavageGreywolf]

@@Foxingg In real life the Green Monster isn't all the same shade of green either, the part that stays green in the blue/yellow versions is the bright green color while the lower half with the scoreboard etc. is a darker, earthier green, almost close to a brown.

[@HenryLove420]

Good for Dimond City That we can't Use The Blood paint than the Super Mutants wanna take a Closer Look

[@muhamadrizkyadrian9105]

I choose blue on my first time playing FO4, i think it pretty matching with the diamond city guard uniform because they wear blue color too

[@Gorbz]

One of the few quests that can reward you for failing it. I only found out about it by deliberately doing it wrong, just to see what would happen

[@zacharycannaday6075]

Technically not failing it just not doing it the intended way. It's like executing somebody, if you killed the wrong person then you're still an executioner just not a very adept one

[@Gauchesuede123]

Paint the wall, Abbot-san. Wax on, Wax off.

[@murray613]

I think on my next Minuteman playthrough I'll paint it blue to show that the city is under the protection of the faction. Sends a much more powerful message than a few flags flying in the city's square.

[@MutedCourier]

I was waiting for the “get fucked “ and F.I.S.T.O’s “please assume the position” made me chuck my phone and start laughing my ass off.

[@CheekyLad_]

[@HusbandofLois]

@@Mate_Antal_Zoltan I do not get why Preston hates this. Doesn't having all the raiders in your pocket mean you can keep them as far away from the minutemen as possible?

And that's why New Vegas is superior, if you don't do the stuff how the people want, they hate you and you loose karma, Fallout 4 is so softened, no black or white, bad or evil, in Fallout 4 everything is grey.

[@dr.awesomeisawesome9567]

What's y'all's favorite color to paint it in, Im actually digging the blue

[@anarchochristian1910]

I'd love a small detail in a future fallout game that basically references this and notes a change in colors over time due to them using whatever paint they could get their hands on at times. Mainly because that's more believable than them constantly finding or making "only" green paint.. that's a lot of wall to cover to be completely reliant on the color green with the state their world/economy/agriculture ect..

[@ztrees4024]

Paint wouldnt last 200 years without drying up in its can anyway. So as far as realism goes any color is fine.

[@flyingsky1559]

Wouldn't it be mis matched, or just brown then? the hundreds of tins full of green paint didn't survive, but the blue paint did?

[@BouncingTribbles]

The idea that hardware town still had paint left is preposterous, where have they been getting it from for 200 years? Acrylic paint will only last a couple decades unopened anyways

[@kerruo2631]

You usually wouldn't expect this level of detail from Bethesda. Gotta give credit where it's due.

[@DrSabot-A]

The thing with Bethesda is that could expect this level of detail..only until a certain amount of quests in which it devolves into where you wouldnt expect this level of detail. It's just their quirks with game design i guess

the real fire is Trader's Life in the background.

[@TheRealW.S.Foster]

I actually found out about this during my current play-through, which was neat - I've since reloaded an old save in that play-through to redo some things, and seeing as I'll probably destroy the Insitute with the Minutemen this time around (in what will be a arduous journey to complete the game with the other three factions still alive), I'll probably stick with choosing blue again so it makes it look like the Minutemen decided to alter the wall to represent their faction.

[@normanmccollum6082]

I do still miss "Get fucked," but Fisto's "Please assume the position" had me cock my head back and laugh. Great stuff!

[@elden_lord22]

I believe some tradition should be remembered but change is an inevitably we must all accept as that is how new life becomes better or stronger

[@alechostel5196]

the raiders at hardware town are pretty interesting. If you kill the lurer and just sneak outside the main ambush site the raiders will argue and the leader will kill one of the other members. Pretty handy at low levels for this side quest.
