@@yokolee5243 This is the result of 2 things: - Too few voicelines. Repetition occurs more due to lack of variety. May not have been able to record more due to memory limits or to allow budget for lines in response to specific actions by the player like quest outcomes. - Trigger for those voicelines is easy/frequent to trigger and lacks a cooldown for that line playing again. Repetition occurring more due to increased exposure to the circumstances that trigger it. Likely caused by not having a cooldown on triggers for lines but won't stop things cause by the player frequently doing it, e.g. the game can't stop you walking past lots of Whiterun Guards increasing the likelihood of hearing about arrows to the knee. Or perhaps all this Jet is making me jittery.

Father: we need to get the synth before it harms anyone. Also Father: we need more people kidnapped to be experimented on, the Commonwealth doesn't know that we actually care about them and we need to make them know it by force.

[@mish375]

Father "logic": We're doing the best for the Commonwealth. And to make you believe us, we'll secretly kidnap people, kill them, and replace them with synths so we can ensure we have the influence to do whatever we want. But it's all for "your" greater good.

I think you might have mentioned this in another video but the game really needed the option of calling out Father that Gabriel was no worse a raider than the other Raider gang leaders in the commonwealth who aren't synths. Gabriel was a free man and he chose how he lived and how he died. Being a rogue synth had nothing to do with that.

[@periwinkle6676]

idk why a lot of people use Gabriel as proof that all gen 3 synths are bad. they make the same decision that any regular human did. plus in order to reach him you had to blast your way through a horde of humans.

[@lUseMyBlade]

Who can then set up a competent chain of command it's really not that difficult, the cpg is an example of that. The SS would have the military might of the minutemen at full strength and maintaining good relations with the Brotherhood can pretty much reliably ensure Society Building for future generations in the Commonwealth but sadly THERE'S NO FUCKING CONSEQUENCES WHEN YOU BEAT THE GAME. It all just returns to the status quo never giving the player a chance to see their settlements blossoming into a full society.

I thought about that oxhorn didnt talk much about "le fusil terribles". but in case someone dont know this: the "le fusil terribles" is on frensh and translates to "the terrible rifle". and it is actualy the same shotgun that the lone wandrer from fallout 3 used 10 years ago. but then he sold the weapon to another person. he modified the magazine and then it ended up in libertalia. I dont know how it ended up there but thats the lore behind the shotgun.

[@Someguy029]

Oh, man, I remember dealing with Libertalia with my Infiltrator Survivor. I had the 1911 mod and the Companion Dogmeat installed and I dealt with the raiders in the other parts of the flotilla with The SIlver Machine Gun, that 1911 (which I renamed Don't Tread On me,) and a custom set of T-60 power armor. Never had any of the raiders with a Fat Man launcher appear but I did go up the central freighter, taking out raiders as I went. I may have killed Gabriel without knowing who, or what, he is. May have to go back there one day.

[@joshualadewig7429]

Father knows way too much about Gabriel. In fact, he knows so much that only he could be the one responsible for the mind wipe and the identity known as Gabriel. Given Father’s penchant for manipulation, I don’t think that this theory is outside of the realm of possibility.

[@mish375]

Given that Father only views the world as an experiment and freed his surviving parent just to "see what happens," I wouldn't put it past him. All that BS about saving lives was to appeal to the Sole Survivor's sense of empathy, something that Father/Shaun doesn't have. Something he admits to later. So him sending a rogue synth out to see what happens would be something he might do.

[@Cellticlink]

Oxhorn at 5:30, Father say's "That synth should be returned alive". Yet they (The Institute) consider synths machines much like a foster or Mr. Handy would they say something more like returned in full operation or undamaged? Do you think that suggests many of them somewhat do not believe their own words about the synths not really having free will and they constantly tell them selves that just to cope with what they do?

And it would always be a stalemate until I simply progressed some way along on my own and let the courser catch up. If I stay to watch without aiding the courser, neither side ever seems to win!

I think Shaun grew a god complex you see the conflicting arguments of synth with Shaun being stern on what synths are but doesn’t see that of the child synth as if something was different for it being a child. He is practically pushing the institute to replace life on earth in general, and Shaun would literally be their god. Whether he dies or lives to see it(cancer says different) he has a legacy through a new form of cybernetic specie

I’m coming up with a story mod having to to with when it comes to Shaun, That father is actually Shaun’s clone and the real shaun learned the Truth, escaped to the surface! He eventually joined the Minutemen where eventually he and a handful of minutemen became disillusioned and eventually joined a group based in diamond city called The Knights of The Templar Order devoted to protecting diamond city and the Boston area and gathering gathering knowledge of the old world! The order are the best Special Forces soldiers in the commonwealth and in this mod they can be sided with and Col. “Miller” can be given the Network scanner Holotape where he learns the truth and swears himself to vengeance against the institute and becomes a companion where he after the story has is own personal quest! This mod will be for people who want to side against the institute but still have access to Shaun!

[@AwesomeGuy123]

40:55 I actually think the reason there’s no synth component on Gabriel’s corpse is simply due to the fact that they never intended for you to be able to kill him. X6 is supposed to say the code so fast that you are unable to kill Gabriel if you the player didn’t say the code.

Upto 5:43 This is where The Institute story went sour for me. If the Human Synths were such a 'Valuable Resource', that only showed issues in behaviors when taken to the surface out of TI, why would you ever do that. Beyond that, why would you not design Synths with a micro charge to remotely destroy them anywhere in the commonwealth via radio instantly. They are all already tagged with FoF ID's via the Teleport Chips. It is asinine to me that with such complex advanced systems the logical tactical ends are left just loose and dangling and tangled up all over the place from this point forward.

Fun fact 2: Clearing out Libertalia before taking on the Synth retrieval mission resets the entire area and replaces Wirewith Gabriel. I am not entirely convinced that Wire was killed by Gabriel though. It is reasonable to assume so, given that Gabriel is constantly depicted as dangerous and murderous. But there are just two flies in that ointment: 1) raiders are always dangerous and murderous. 2) We get that info from the ones who want us to stop Gabriel, why would they depict him other than a danger to society? Seeing how disgusted Wire was with what they became, I find it equally reasonable that Wire just decided to leave and never return.

I hate how the Fallout 4 Dialogue system handles this. Father claims gun manufacturers are not responsible for the misuse of their tools, then vehemently blames the Railroad for the situation and absolving the Institute of any responsibility. It seems like Father is using this example to show the Railroad is evil, but the elephant in the room being how the hell did the Institute let the Railroad get them hands onto "Gabriel" without the Institute being responsible for this mess in the first place. The Institute isn't selling synths, so all snyths must be the responsibility of the Institute. And the Sole Survivor can't even point out this blazing obvious point, why the hell is the Institute leaking rogue synths like a sieve and no one has an answer for it other then "synths are machines". It's so dismissive, it reaches the point of complete stupidity. If China suddenly got their hands on Liberty Prime, then of course people are going to point the finger at the Brotherhood of Steel and ask questions and not just pretend it could only be China's fault that Liberty Prime is crushing America.
