Fallout 4: Top 5 Toughest Choices You’ll Have to Make in Fallout 4

Fallout 4, like most Fallout games, affords the player character would a good degree of agency over it’s various stories. Indeed, Fallout 4 allows you to make a number of big decisions that will ultimately carry some big consequences and while many of these choices aren’t very special, some are especially difficult to make and force the Sole Survivor to think long and hard. In today’s video, we’ll be taking a look at some of the most notable as we explore five of the toughest choices you’ll have to make in Fallout 4.

[@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.

[@1Flyingfist]

I still get bitten and poisoned through power armour 🤔

Apparently there is a bug - if your companion gets bit, you get the disease - possibly even if you have only robot companions - or dogmeat.

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 worst thing about the cure for Austin quest is that any bite a follower of yours takes or even the protectron you can activate counts to you contracting the disease. The best ways to complete it is build a crazy sprinter or a master of stealth and I think there's a terminal down there that allows you to skip part of the most infested section. But you do it everytime to get Curie...

[@Jamick98Geass]

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. The son will give you an okay-ish Gamma Gun legendary and some other trinkets, but that's really about it.

[@Sleepy.Time.]

Easiest way ive found to deal with the mole rats without getting bitten is wait till you loot a gun with the explosive effect before doing the quest and then stay up on top of crates or on the sections of the floors that are not dirt so they cant pop up at your feet. They will agro and start coming to you and just shot at their feet when they come running. Also do not bring a companion.

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.

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.

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.

@@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.

[@Piterdeveirs333]

[@WolfenMoony]

The quest with initiate Clark I took it differently, not as 'following to the t' the policies, not as punishing a good act or disobeying or anything like that, sure you would say it's a 'oh right or wrong' but no, I saw it as letting this initiate unpunishing as rewarding stupidity and carelessness. Putting everyone else at risk, giving away food that would serve living people, and letting him out the hook also rewards his ignorance that ghouls don't need food as regular people do, also his own brothers and sisters, so in my mind I wouldn't reward him by letting him go, he made his choice. And if you are RPing hard you must have the context layed in front of you present, without proper knowledge and with just 'his feelings' up front he could have had everyone killed should one of those ferals escaped. He is an idiot, a well-meaning idiot which are the worst to deal with of course because one wouldn't want to hurt them but those well-meaning idiots are the ones that hurt others the most regardless because you don't see it coming from them. Edit: Also, to me it's not only "Your duty or your honor" I would also propose another question "Would you like to hand your life to a bleeding heart idiot and probably die a useless death?" Because that's what your are doing, just blindly trusting this dimwit won't do it again or make a similar mistake or even worse. In a world layed out as this one you can't just think "oh, good and evil, right or wrong" it's called nuances, and this mistakes could cost everyone their lives way past if it's for duty honor or to throw themselves into a crater later on. It's way better to trust a lazy intelligent person than an industrious idiot because at least the lazy intelligent person would try to do what's necessary with minimal effort and succeed, whilst the industrious idiot always works against everyone even themselves. So there you go.

Also has the best chance of defending the wastlelands they controll from say, the legion or other threats.

Everything else will be decided for you. The synth sentience question is left up in the air entirely, even though there are several within the Institute (including Father himself) that doubt the idea their emotions and thoughts are purely simulated. It just goes nowhere. You can't be like "hey, we need to take a step back and evaluate the state of synth sentience", or "hey, let's hold back on gen3 production until we can be sure we're not accidently creating a slave race" or "hey, maybe we should look into whether synths are the answer to repopulating the surface with a clean genome".
