I admit, I was also confused about the story, but I came to a different conclusion. I thought that maybe captain Wes had PTSD or pehaps had lost one too many patrols to the wasteland, and so that's why he was being so cautious. Plan a tactical raid on supermutants is okay, but an ambush? Pull out. Raiders in the neighboring town? Infiltrate, observe, disrupt, instead of attack. Wes didn't want to loose any more men. But, like you said, he couldn't afford to look weak.
@chrisrushing59307 жыл бұрын
Fair enough theory. From the perspective of a soldier I have another one...or three. Command isn't easy, the gunners are the closest to an actual military structure of any other faction... If they put their effort behind an actual cause it would be scary. Imagine for a moment that they had joined the minutemen at Quincy instead of killing them. the Minutemen would be a force to be reckoned with. Wes had certain expectations placed upon him as leader of the gunners. but at the same time when caught in the moment that might have just been a simple decision of making a responsible command Decision. a good Commander never throws away confidence soldiers without a good reason. that being said, if you were in the US military he probably would be commended for his action. but because the Gunners have a bit skewed ideas of what they have adapted from the US Military he realized he had to CYA (cover your a$$) fast. This is probably why He then publicly reprimanded his soldiers, and then gave them a relatively cheap punishment. He had to do something to protect his command, but he really didn't want to bring the hammer down on soldiers for following orders. "Reaming" is a common term for being yelled at by a superior, it may have other connotations, but I would not read too much into that. Last thing I am going to say on the subject is, don't underestimate the punishment. Though it is not a bad place to be, no good soldier likes being pulled from an assignment to be reassigned. It is that much worse when we are getting blamed for our superior's actions. A soldier, no matter how loyal, hates falling on the sword for someone else... even though they will do it if necessary. Wes would have probably made the guard duty temporary, and then put the gunners back in the field after the fuss died down.
@chrisrushing59307 жыл бұрын

@vahlen52817 жыл бұрын
I always wondered why the Gunners are hostile towards the player. Aside from a few random encounters, they will always attack you on sight. Which does not make much sense, the Gunners are not a Raider gang, they are mercenarys for hire first and foremost. They have some agenda of their own, but mostly, they are fullfilling contracts (for example, trying to get the Gas from HalluciGen, delivering the Deathclaw egg to Wellington and so on). So they should not really have a reason to attack the protagonist on sight if he/she does not provoke them. Of course you could say, maybe someone paid them to do so. The problem with this is that there is no ingame evidence (like the Talon Mercenaries who carried a killing contract in F3, they hunted you because someone set a bounty on your head after you either disarmed the bomb in Megaton or your karma level got too high) so aside from being convenient, this explanation is not really valid. So I guess Bethesda made them a hostile faction for gameplay reasons and for the sake of enemy variety, but it does not make sense lorewise nor is it logical. I would have loved to see Bethesda implementing the Gunners as a joinable minor faction, even if it simply meant that more radiant quests would flood your Pipboy... Well, at least they know how to use their laser rifles and do not combine them with an antique, outdated and ineffcient firing system in form of a musket like some certain faction does...

I came to the same conclusion. Nothing else makes sense. The fact that Cruz has no idea what's going on makes them being related highly unlikely. He's as confused as anyone else about why he's being blamed and why he's being "punished" with a less dangerous task. Clearly Wes is protecting him for some reason. Who knows, maybe Cruz just reminds Wes of a brother who died growing up in the Commonwealth...but that seems a bit of a stretch.

If Wes was a LOT older than Cruz, he may have been his father, the mother may have been another 'young cadet' with him that he was in love with, who got killed in action soon after giving birth. the kid gets raised by the Gunners, but he has no idea who his father is. Not saying that's the truth, just saying its possible. Now why keep that secret? Well now... what if Wes was a lot older than the girl - like she was only 15 at the time, and also happened to be his CO's daughter? There's some great ways to flesh this out without going down the 'dark' path. LOL
@allenb10637 жыл бұрын
Based on my experience in the military, some commanders fear their subordinates will overtake them at some point in their career and they try to sabotage their rivals in some way. in this case, Cruz may have been an extremely competent leader that was becoming popular with the rank and file. Commanders in mercenary and pirate outfits throughout history were replaced by former subordinates that could actually deliver. There is a good chance that a rivalry was brewing and Wes took action to take Cruz down a few notches. Guard duty sounds cushy, but in an outfit that thrives on elan, it would be a nail in his careers coffin. Everyone hailed the pilots heroism after the battle of Midway, but you didn't hear a lot about the maintenence crews, ordnance teams, and deck officers of the task force that enabled the pilots success. The guy watching over the base will never haul in loot or win a great battle.

I think the reason for the US army presence in the Plaza isn't just because they were using it as a means to spread propaganda, but after the bombs dropped they used it as a meeting spot. In those cubicles when you frost entered there's a large amount of medical supplies and gurneys. My theory is when the bombs dropped and chaos ensued, the US army met up at the plaza and used it as a form of base so thy could figure out what to do. And while they were there they set up a hospital for any injured soldiers either from radiation poisoning or injuries received from raiders.
@YoungTroy237 жыл бұрын
I think homosexual feelings are a tremendous reach lol. The evidence is right in front of you on the previous terminal you read as well as in previous videos you made. Wes isn't running his operation like a Gunner because he's using espionage and subterfuge to win battles because fighting and working smart will always be better than fighting and working hard. He had his men infiltrate the Raiders in Hyde Park because a full frontal assault would be costly in terms of manpower and resources because in Fallout 4 Raiders can be as well armed as they are depending on the gang. He had Clint turn against the Minutemen to save the costs in lives and resources a full frontal assault would cost to sack the town the old fashion way. He kidnapped a Synth because he wanted to draw the Courser into a trap aka fighting the enemy on the ground of your choice because that lets you dictate the rhythm of the fight. And he had Cruz retreat because if he and his men get wiped out that means he lost men for little gain. And in the Wastleland boots are far harder to come by than bullets. Especially well trained boots. The cost of recruiting and training new men to replace the men he lost wasn't worth the effort so he had them retreat in secret. This hints that Wes is, well was, likely planning to change the tactics of the Gunners to increase their power base and make them a more effective fighting force because Death or Glory behavior is not something that can be maintained in the long run.

In my current play through, I have a mod that allows me to throw spawn grenades, so I carry spawn grenades that allow me to spawn minutemen to aid me in battle. I also have a mod that gives every NPC labeled as a minuteman a set of "Minuteman Dog Tags." With that in mind, I have been waging a war against the Gunners in multiple areas. When time finally came, I assaulted Gunner Plaza. Myself and Preston Garvey set out in a vertibird that the minutemen salvaged after the war with the brotherhood. Preston and I flew over the plaza raining minigun fire on the gunners below, taking fire all the while, we landed about 100 meters from the building and our pilot high tailed it back to friendly lines. I immediately launched a flare to signal our attack and called any nearby minutemen. With the call sent out, I run up to the hedgerows across the street from the plaza and toss an artillery smoke grenade. Shells from Egret Tours Marina and Summerset place and Murkwater Construction all start raining in. One after another. Just as the last shell hits, a squad of militia arrive, responding to the flare. Now I brought 150 minutemen with me, now we have another 4 on the assault. The gunners outside took a hell of beating thus far, but theres still about half a dozen scattered on the building. The responding minutemen hold the front while preston and I clear the roof top. At this point we managed to secure a powerful Guass rifle prototype that will prove useful, Shaw will flip when she gets a hold of it. After securing the outside move into the main lobby. Myself, Preston, and about 15 minutemen make the first volley, both machinegun turrets are knocked out, but the gunners are well armed, we start taking heavy fire so I pull my people back and toss some grenades. After I take out a few with grenades and sniper fire, another wave plus the remainder of the first charge in and start making a foothold in the writer rotunda. It isnt long before theres a full platoons worth of minutemen pushing through. We are making progress, but theres no direct route to the second floor. So 20 minutemen stay on the bottom floor of the rotunda to keep the gunners occupied while I lead the rest of my forces through the building. Immediately after the rotunda, we come to a choke point. They were ready for an assault, we took cover and advanced slowly, but the fire was intense. A minuteman with an assault rifle he'd picked up from a gunner began to open fire and keep cover fire while we advanced, quickly the left and then the right turrets exploded. Green plasma from the gunner officers still spilled it's way towards us, we pushed until we had broken through. We now had the central office surrounded, we knew Captain Wes was inside and well defended. We kicked the door in with the solid thump, two more turrets opened up on us, we were taking casualties, so collectively we all started throwing molotovs. One after another, and finally the turrets seized and the gunners weren't firing. Wes sat wounded in the corner, we had hoped to take him alive and put him on trial for his crimes against the people of the commonwealth, but it was too late. He wouldn't survive his injuries, so I granted him a mercy he would never have extended to one of ours, and I put my rifle to his head and ended his suffering. For a moment, it was somber, but then a shout and blast of bullets brought me back to my senses, the second floor still had gunners on it. I rallied my forces and pushed through to the stairs. Two more gunners held the stairs from us, we took cover when a Sergeant yelled that we were losing men in the rotunda, I sent 15 back to reinforce them, but that hurt my advance, we had to move while we had momentum. Preston laid down fire from his laser musket while I charged forward to the stairs. Flanked by 3 minutemen, I lead the assault and the stairs were ours, I popped off the last turret down the hall before we came into range, we've lost enough men to their turrets. We started to move but then a lone gunner with a plasma rifle holds his position and fires at us. One by one we took casualties. Finally preston managed to make the kill shot. We ran for the rotunda and found the last squad of gunners frantically firing at our men below. They were so focused that they didnt even notice us, I gave the word to fire and they all dropped in an instance, all of them had already been injured by our men below. With that, the battlefield fell silent. The troops patrolled the plaza while preston and I search for our casualties. I collected their tags for safe keeping at the Castle. When all was said and done. Of the 150 minutemen and 4 responding militia who arrived at gunners plaza under my command, 31 were confirmed dead and 17 were never found. It was a costly battle for such a small force of enemies. They were entrenched and used every advantage they had. With the plaza down, on Quincy and a few locations in Downtown remain in gunner control. Soon that will be rectified as well. But not today. Today is a sobering day for the minutemen. A ceremony is going to be held at the castle to honor the 48 minutemen killed or missing with their names spread to Diamond City, Bunker Hill, and Goodneighbor so that the news will spread of their sacrifice. The gunners have lost valuable leadership and countless resources. The gunner weapons and armor will be distributed amongst diamond city security and the Neighborhood watch as compensation for assistance in training our people. Whatever remains will be put in the armory for issuing to the troops. The clothing, food, and other valuables will be sold on the open market, whatever doesn't sell will either be given to whoever wants it or scrapped for building materials. I've ordered the place to be booby trapped with mines and trip wires to prevent the gunners from moving back in. I've even had 3 turrets rebuilt from the fight and reprogrammed to fire at gunners instead of us. I dont want to keep any troops here, we need everyone we can gene hopefully this will end soon. The first meeting of the CPG is next month, and we need to make sure the commonwealth is secure before then. I've had sentry bots and protections establishing safe routes between the major settlements for months now. It's been a bloody and difficult time. The commonwealth might finally have peace again after such a long time. -Nate, General of the minutemen, just after the gunner wars and just prior to the founding of the CPG in 2296.

The last mission for the minutemen should have had you (with other minutemen) attack gunners plaza and quincy to get revenge for the minutemen who died at quincy. That would have shed a bit of light on the gunners.

It is way easier to get into the building via the roof. You can climb up on some unguarded stairs on the right side and then sneakily take out the few gunners on the roof, even the one with the fatman. After taking the elevator down you can clear out the basement and get into the first floor of the main hall to take out Cruz and wes while covered from the turrets and gunners below

I have a decidedly different theory. Despite being a mercenary group, a lot of the time in game they're depicted as being no better than raiders. I believe Wes may have feared Cruz as a potential competitor for command, ordering him to do something that would disgrace him, and then subsequently punishing him with a safe posting where Cruz would be unlikely to earn any accolades.

I know this comes very late (although I have watched this vid at least once before). The conclusion I come to is a lot less offbeat than that, and perhaps a tad more believable(?) - Captain Wes *cares* about his men. Not romantically, but rather, the way a good commander should. However, ordering a retreat like that (and also showing he cares) is a sign of weakness. He can't let his men know this. This is similar to conversations you have with Danse. Also, in retrospect, if he is aware of the issues the Gunners in Nukaworld are having, saving resources (manpower) is just a good tactical decision. You don't want to spread too thin.

I honestly think Wes just cared for those under his command, and if he could avoid needlessly slaughtering his men, he would do so. But because of it being seen as "Weak" He had to shove the blame onto Cruz to keep his position secure while also keeping his men "Safe"
@darthvaderreviews69267 жыл бұрын
Okay, your speculation is a tad off the rails. Obviously, it is speculation, but there's no reason to believe Wes was in love with Cruz. This is what I think: Wes realizes Cruz and his squad are in danger. Wes, and the Gunners as a whole are relatively smart- "Never retreat" is a rule meant to encourage blind loyalty from his underlings, not to restrict his own tactical decisions. He decides, from that radio broadcast, that the best thing to do is to get Cruz out of there before he and his squad are wiped out. He makes a tactical, calculated decision. He blames Wes for the reasons you mentioned, he can't have his rule broken, but his "punishment" is extremely lax and makes sure that Cruz doesn't feel betrayed by Wes and to keep Wes' secret under wraps (as doing something more extreme probably would've made Cruz tell everyone). The story isn't a love story, it's illustrating the way the Gunners differ from your average Raider. Most other Raider factions would've died blindly or scattered in that battle, but Captain Wes is far more utilitarian than that. There's no rules or code in what he does (despite what the Gunners will tell the rookies when they join up), he just does what's the logical and tactical decision, and in this case it was retreat.

"Reeming" someone out is an expression used to describe getting yelled at. It was a fairly common expression when I was enlisted in the Air Force.

Weirdest oxhorn theory ever
@ArgentDeer7 жыл бұрын
As much as I love the theory that Wes loves Cruz romantically (because romance like this is my life) and wanted him to be safe, I feel like that isn't the case. I personally think Cruz is a very close friend to Wes and helped the captain get to where he is. And since they are so close, to the point where they could possibly be considered "brothers" (not biologically but more mutually), he didn’t want to lose Cruz. Reassigning him to guard the top floor of Gunner Plaza would ensure his safety and would allow Wes to save the man that is his friend, who is good at what he does, or even both. Again, just my thoughts and even if the romantic same-sex relationship is my biggest obsession and is honestly extremely likely given the setting of post-apocalyptic Boston, I can't imagine it to be the case.
