[@oaksparoakspar3144]

Clothing, armor, and customized weapons with a theme for each settlement - takes a ton of work. Especially for the "high end" communities where you want everyone to have a minigun and or gatling laser, fully ballistic clothing, and heavy combat armor patrolling a raised catwalk settlement covered in turrets so that even spawns in the middle of the settlement receive swift death from above. That said, the "greasers" at Red Rocket (switchblades for the guys, revolvers for the gals) in appropriate 1950's clothes is one of my favorite themes. Saving Shaun? Blech. I only advance the plot if I need to in order to get a companion perk. I normally own the entire commonwealth and finished the DLCs before the Brotherhood even shows up.

for vault 81 some other rules are in place that almost guarantee you get infected from my testing. 1. if your companion takes damage you get infected 2. sometimes if you kill a mole rat but the animation for the attack already started even if you do not take damage you can still get infected 3. sometimes the game will bug out and you will get infected randomly just as a group of mole rats spawn it is possible to get through without getting infected if you abuse the quick save system like I would recommend doing because it is easy to make it through without being bit but hard to make it through without one of the above mentioning things happening is hard. Normally I would say not to abuse the system if you feel like it is cheating but honestly it feels like the game is cheating you if you don't abuse it there.

[@themusicman3728]

9:02 If you join the brotherhood of steel or get power armor a different way, you can get bitten and not contract the disease, but you have to be completely armored. So I must admit, I never knew you could get infected with the disease, I joined the BoS early on and just went in with power armor. So here’s the tip: use power armor for this quest

[@superdave8248]

To be fair, there are more than a couple of suits available by the time BoS show up on the scene. The only reason not to be playing in full PA is if you can carry a heavier load without it or you prefer to take a more stealth approach. But having a humanoid companion is probably going to get you in trouble with this quest. But between PA and non-human companions there are probably a number of players who never had to make this choice.

The vault 81 problem is rather simple to solve. 1. Buy Spray N’ Pray from Cricket outside the vault along with some ammo if you dont have any 2. Dismiss your companion 3. The mole rats emerge at certain points, like when you reach the top of the first staircase. Quicksave before each of these points and right after every mole rat in a wave has been killed (chrouch to check). If you get bit, just load the last save and try again. 4. Rince repeat untill you get the cure. A few tips: 1. dont activate the protectron, it will act like your companion and will also get you sick if bitten. 2. Have Expert hacking before going in. There is a terminal that will allow you to skip the biggest wave og mole rats and will take you straight to the cure. And 3, dont bother aiming, just use hipfire and spin around like a maniac. Good hunting :)

The Brotherhood are thieves, they steal everyone’s tech. They have good gear so it’s good for to be one of them. The Institute could become good with you as director, and they’re not that bad to begin with. The Minuteman are idiots, they put an unqualified stranger in charge. But they’re okay I guess. The Railroad is stupid as hell, lots of people including children are being killed by raiders all around the Commonwealth but they only care about saving robots. They waste so many resources “rescuing” machines instead of helping real people. They’re the worst. Best choice is to join the Children of Atom and forget about the Commonwealth.

[@snails6997]

@@mazrimtaim3107 Yeph. The Brotherhood here feels like an authoritarian cult. The leader tell you something, follow it without question. Different than the ones in Fallout 3 that feels like the "Right Side". The Brotherhood in NV is a sad bunch of people that hiding in a corner, which make them the most interesting BoS in the whole series. Damn, writing this will make me install New Vegas again. The Minutemen is like a naive bunch of people. "Lets help people", but which people? How to help them? Why help them? Many details aren't considered at first. No plan just go jump in it somehow. Make some settlement and invite people without background check? That just waiting for a problem. They a bit impulsive for me. But still, admirable and deserve some help. They do really want to help people. Rail Road is kinda funny. Lets save machines. Then what if its a turret? Or if its a terminal console? Are we rape the terminals when we try to hack it? Borderline wokeness. Those synth have turn off button. Just by that fact, we know that they are tools. Even when they have feeling. I will reconsider it when they succeed in removing the turn off button. The Raiders, many people didn't really considers them as a choice. They simply just chaotic. Too much barbaric. Yeah in post apocalyptic, everything will gonna be survival of the fittest. But they a bit overboard with it. Try to be civilized a bit please. Too easy to say "no" to this faction, should give them more noble cause to make it harder. Now, the Institute. They kinda weird for me. Weird as the supposed to be the antagonist of the game. Cos, if the condition in the game happened in the real life to me, it would make me become an Institute personally. I mean, my own son came to me asking for help for his much more naive thought of making the world better. Ask me to help him, with the whole bunch of the best personnel, resources, troops, and the most advanced tech in the world. I would say yes in a heartbeat. I mean, the kidnapping is cruel, but also an effective methods. Cos, I do agree with DiMA's methods for Acadia in the Far Harbor, even before I met The Insitute (I always goes for side quest before doing main quest). This game got quite good materials, but isn't as nicely done as it could have been. Each side should made us do horrible stuff for their cause. Then, give us the positive outcome of those horrible deeds, so they will be able to convince us more and give us justification for joining them and their own noble causes.

I actually was VERY worried about a power struggle in nuka-world when first playing through. I really wanted to give all three of them equal portions of the park, but noticed the math wouldn't allow that early on, so I gave my left out group the biggest slice of the Commonwealth to make up the difference. Sadly, they didn't go for it. For me this meant putting the Pack down. While I do miss their loony costumes and color palette, I feel like their obsession with alphas and leadership would have eventually lead to betrayal anyways, even if they were given the biggest cut. So I was left with the Disciples as my go to shock troops, whom I would mercilessly let loose on non-negotiating settlements, while the calm and collected Operators were left to keep order and compliance.

So for the Cabot House quest: If you care only about what rewards you can get, siding with Larenzo is the way to go. The Mysterious Serum gives you Radiation Immunity (basically), + 5 Strength, and +50 Damage Resistance for 60 minutes, and any time it runs out you can return to Larenzo and get another one. (This only works if you don't have one on you or one stashed in a container somewhere). This makes areas like the Glowing Sea and the Megaton Reactor Room (BOS ending) much easier to get through.

It is very stranger that I remember almost all the choices I made in my first playthrough.. ( and I was basically playing all factions as far as I could till you would end up being forced to make a enemy. ) .. For that first quest you mentioned. I gave the guy a chance to run.. But he did not know I was going to kill all the ghouls during his chance basically... and I would have killed him the next time I seen him if I ever did. For the Cabbot quest.. I saved the father.. To me the father was more deserving of being able to live compared to the rest of the family. ( And, yes I did get that encounter with him later on but in my playthrough it was raider corpses. And I did not care about raiders. Besides, he made sure I got a steady supply of the serum. ) The institute one.. That I oddly do not recall. I believe I put them on probation or left them unpunished but I honestly felt that, while that time I was going to be nice. The next time they tried to pull something like that I would execute them all myself. It was basically my, I am going to let you have one warning, this will be your warning out of my understanding of not liking someone fully new to the group becoming the leader.. But go against me in the way you did again, and you will suffer the consequences. ( As long as they are being constructive, I might listen without going after them too harshly. But otherwise execution. I was not exactly playing as a evil character, but not a 100% good character either. ) The nuka world quest.. ( Started it after I got most factions up to the point before having to make one hate me, and also did a large portion,if not all of the quests in the commonwealth, as I did not have the DLC till after I already cleared that stuff.. It was also the last DLC I did in the game I believe? On that playthrough that is. Admittedly this is where I cheated by using a few things to allow me to skip the quest that would cause Preston to go against me when doing the mission. ) As for the factions I let live, The Operators and the Pack. Disciples proved they would never be loyal to me even if I ruled them with a iron fist. The Pack is loyal, and Operators already had a more mercenary attitude that I am used to in real life.. So I was willing to deal with those two factions more.

Also what you are describing in regard to Brandis... is still PTSD... and he was not lost... he was ill and scared when you find them... and going by your rules... he stole BoS equipment as well as went AWOL.

Although i guess railroad could also be the moral ending since humanity aint that great :p But from the prespective of a human that does not wish enslavement or more likely eradication at the hands of almighty machine overlords brotherhood should be the way to go. Also has the best chance of defending the wastlelands they controll from say, the legion or other threats.

Fun fact: The Cabots are a real family, and as far as I know, still have members living in the Boston area. For generations they were remarkably wealthy and powerful, being one of the "Boston Brahmin" families, and retain a great deal of name recognition even though their influence has faded. 1711 is too early for their family seat, since the ancestor of the clan only arrived in American in 1680. The most commonly recognized Cabot House is in Beverly, north of Salem and just past the northeast edge of the Fallout 4 Commonwealth map. So you won't find that exact house Boston as you do other landmarks like the Old North Church, Fenway Park, Faneuil Hall, the Old State House, etc. Honestly, in that questline I was perfectly happy with either outcome, since even if you kill Lorenzo the rest of the family will die out soon enough anyway, and they're all pretty nasty types.

There so obviously needs to be a continuation of the storyline if the player decides to let Initiate Clarke escape with his tamed feral ghouls. Setting him up somewhere safe and have him conduct more research into the behaviour of feral ghouls for a duration while the player takes over responsibility for supplying food for the ferals. Then finally after some time, Initiate Clarke reaches a conclusion that allows him to train feral ghouls to scavenge their own food without killing people on sight. The quest is completet and the player gets rewarded with a gadget or maybe a perk so ferals will react neutral towards the player until attacked. In fact, there's so much in this great game's story lines and entrappings that lends itself very well to further speculation and imagining of what might further have entailed if this or that. In stead of redoing that aspect in Fallout76 to have this sort of live, dynamic development, Bethesda should have just opened up Fallout 4 for players to make and attach storylines to the gameworld, keeping an moderating role as to make sure it doesn't turn stupid.

There's little reward besides feeling good about yourself outside of the game (I thought this was an RPG?) for helping the kid besides unlocking yet one or two more meaningless vendors to trade with (that you honestly have to go out of your way to get to compared to traders in Goodneighbor or Diamond City, etc.). The consequence is a pretty mild health debuff, but still it's really no choice at all. The payoff is just not there, nor is that really even a serious debuff. Whether you give the cure to the kid or not just doesn't go far enough in affecting the rest of the game. Plus, Curie still joins you no matter what. _Score: D_ 3. *Secrets of Cabot House*: This arc does present a minor choice, albeit not one that's consequential to the larger narrative nor your immediate circle, since it doesn't affect how factions view you whatsoever. It's literally just a question of personal, real-world morality-as long as you can live with your decision outside of the game, you'll be fine. It all boils down to the item you want; very superficial. _Score: C_ 4. *A House Divided*: What? There's no choice to make here, the Institute's political detractors saw to that when they gave you the all-or-nothing ultimatum. They should have made the speech checks into negotiations to produce different outcomes, but at the end of the day there is only ONE. Two or three lines of unique dialogue repeated by two or three different voice actors (verbatim, might I add) isn't a replacement for game-changing consequences since it does not result in any unique missions or items, nor does it unlock any further branching decisions to make. _Score: F_ 5. *Power Play* OK, first of all-this is a DLC, which would require you to either have to buy that as a download add-on or purchase the GOTY (ha) edition. It shouldn't even count here. But whatever, it still doesn't matter because even if you do side with the Raiders, you'll get like 2 lines of unique dialogue from Preston Garvey before he sends you off on another "help a settlement" quest where all will be forgotten. Not to mention that, going back to the fact this is DLC, most people are going to play it after the main game is already over and by then, who cares? It's not like it affects anything major in the game anyway in terms of quests or factions. _Score: D_ The more I've revisited Fallout 4, the more and more flawed I find it is. I really hope Microsoft does the right thing going forward and forces Bethesda's hand to fork over the IP's development to a studio more capable of designing a competent RPG.

there's a third option for Austin - you can split the cure with him. i've never done that tho so i have no idea what it does. curious tho. and that BoS soldier should be imprisoned. he wasn't being 'good' - he was taking BoS rations to feed the ferals. stealing rations for their people in a time of a food shortage is a problem. if he was just feeding them whatever from the wasteland that would be different, but he's taking BoS rations.

Not to mention if the ghouls got out how many people they could endanger within the base if they got through without alarms going off

[@D_Pellagrino]

I always got the implication Clark would be given remediation and some probationary treatment after some confinement, not death

what's worse about the vault 88 quest is that even if you avoided all the mole rat bites, if you have a companion with you that gets bit YOU ALSO GET THE DEBUFF

First tough choice: Tell him to leave, never wear any Brotherhood clothing again. Make a life for himself far from here, while emphasizing that feral ghouls have no humanity left in them. Then report your findings so the rest of the ferals can be put down. 2nd to last tough choice: Kick them out. Banish them with some supplies, perhaps give them very basic weapons at the door for their own survival. If they're smart, they'll each go to a different community and offer their services as doctors/scientists while being very careful _never_ to reveal that they're from the Institute. Start new lives, do the best they can. Ensuring you're respected and a bit feared by those whom you lead.
