What If You Go to Get Nuclear Bombs With Paladin Danse in Fallout 4?

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you went to get the Nuclear Bombs for Liberty Prime with Paladin Danse in Fallout 4? Normally, if you go there alone and then return to Elder Maxson after completing the mission, you find out that Danse is a synth and that he has run away. But what if you take Danse with you on the mission? How could he escape if he never leaves the main character's side?

[@idk_lizord]

fun fact: if you take codsworth to that mission and clear everything nothing fucking happens

[@GabeS-jm1zg]

And if you have the automatron dlc and turn codsworth into a sentry bot, even more nothing happens.

[@beliws]

​@@GabeS-jm1zg but if you replace him with Cvrie, still nothing fuckin happens

[@Thyoven]

If you bring some dude named bob nothing fucking happens and he probably dies twenty nine times with 90% being you killing him because he wouldn’t move

[@THEBIOSHOCK1987]

Codworth with pink leg??​@@beliws

[@games4kids852]

​@@THEBIOSHOCK1987that's actually a very interesting alternative and I've tried this myself. And you would be surprised to find out that despite giving codsworth pink legs. Nothing fucking changes.

[@uberd3323]

“Wouldn’t want these falling into the wrong hands, haha.” >Gets back to the Prydwen, Maxson immediately tells him that Danse is a synth

It’s the same fucking thing but Danse stays behind.

[@Simply_better22343]

Nobody expevted a massive change lets be honest, fo4 shit like this just adds dialogue you might not have heard otherwise

[@steelman6403]

Well yeah but still patch up the hole it could cause

[@Steamaroon]

They never really do anything massive for stuff like this they just add something small like quick dialogue to cover up the plot hole it would cause if that dialogue didn’t exist

[@5AMACE]

What do you expect, this is the rpg standard. If this was new vegas, the only difference would be danse saying fuck like 6 times

[@sgtkeebler]

So if you take him with you, you still have to hunt him down? This video didn’t really answer that too well

[@aarongann4630]

I did this first time. I thought his remaining behind was suspicious, I expected Danse to go full betrayal.

[@nekogamer2508]

I wish he could become elder like in cut content

[@thesweetone]

My first BOS run I brought danse with me everywhere to see what he would say.

[@juglarspy]

[@MrJH101]

I liked all the companions but Danse was my go-to guy. I wish we could take them all like in FO2 to see what they’d say as we explored the wasteland. But since it was only one, Danse was my choice.

[@grugnotice7746]

First time I played this game I did exactly this.

Literally when it's for the brotherhood it just feels weird not bringing danse to any brotherhood quest before blind betrayal

[@largiegorgle]

I remember doing this alone and camping in the elevator then making it go up just before the assaultron could use its laser(I was terrified of assaultrons since when I first met one in the FEV lab and I was new to the game, so I’d didn’t think to use jet)

[@davidcunningham1863]

Man the more i play and hear about fallout 4 the more i think everyone is a synth in this game.

[@vegastrina]

I think Mama Murphy is a synth, I don't care what the wikis say...or something else not human. She doesn't ever sleep...ever, she completely disappears in the middle of the night and randomly returns as everyone is waking up just strolling along in the walkway...walking, she sometimes stands all night long in one spot...just standing...and staring...creeps me out.

[@darron614]

​@vegastrina bro she's a drug addict, everything you describe makes total sense with that in mind lol

[@niwty]

@@vegastrinaYou mean you haven’t made her a chair yet? Thats no way to treat your elders. Make her a chair and put it on a guard post.

​​@@niwty Oh!! You mean Mama Murphy!! No, I've never made her chair😅 I stick her in the garden, but I guess she can retire now. I'll do your suggestion, though... thanks. Edit:....oops !! That's what I get for waking up and responding...I thought we were talking about someone else in code.... silly me.

[@Mrhouse-k1x]

Spoilers Even fcking trashcan Carla is a synth

[@Dilllonm]

Since he talks so much about the mission, I think this is how it’s supposed to be done

[@_SlyCorn]

god fucking damn it i need to beat the game before watching videos holy shit

[@cjwrench07]

I know exactly how you feel dude.

[@raulcbarbosa4045]

F, i have been trought this

[@ivorycxxxx]

Probably a good idea. I’ve done almost 10 playthroughs so I’m sure I won’t get spoilers for stuff that isn’t the DLC I still need to play. Also still need to side with the institute, although I don’t really want to because who does 😂

[@hamsterking2187]

The way my mouth dropped when he said danse was a synth. He's my favorite companion and I would've never guessed this...

[@dmxchansonichu6373]

Lmao nah dont pretend this game just came out. You had like 10 years to finish it

[@KingOfStopMotion]

I always bring Danse...literally nothing happens, bro just stays with the nukes

[@AFalloutEnthusiast]

That’s why I never do the BOS quest line

[@edwordlow6080]

Feels like a contrived cop out

Forst time i did this i brought danse and never thought what woyld happen if i didnt go

[@Fox_and_Wolf963]

POV me who have took paladin dance with myself every time doing that mission

[@catkid3762]

In other news water is wet.

[@delvinciposterkid]

4500+ hours into Fallout 4, three reinstalls, a few desktop upgrades, a hundred mod tests, and 9 playthroughs, that always happens when you bring Danse.

[@Cube.CUBED.]

I've been wondering this ever since I finished that mission and I've been wondering when I would see this video

[@rumblerider89]

First time I ever got this far in the game, I had Paladin dance with me because literally we were looking for nukes in the glowing sea, and he has power armor, however, this must have been added in since then as he just was suddenly missing and I was able to retrieve another companion.

[@ThatOneGuyParadox]

Danse is honestly my favorite companion but I couldn’t save him and spare him but when I had him he was with me the entire time

[@gold5221]

Danse is my absolute hero, i am playing fallout 4 for the first time (omw to the final mission rn) and i had taken danse everywhere with me, literal days of my life spent with that man, the betrayal i felt of him being a synth and then the further betrayal of what maxson wanted(i disobeyed him) was heartwrenching

[@Roskus]

In my playthrough Paladin just disappeared when I entered the building with nuclear bombs and I immediately got the quest to speak with him with a marker being somewhere outside the map :skull:

[@GlerpidyGlarson]

He has to be a reference to buzz lightyear

[@MrGaffe]

Ironically, the only time I decided to do a BoS run in FO4 I had Danse with me while I was doing that quest

[@bhnstudios6754]

I did this and I thought most people would too

[@paulwei6596]

It's the ONLY way to prevent his affinity from reset to 0 after you can ask him to follow again.

[@toddabbott781]

Well seeing as Dance is tied to the BOS quest line this is pretty expected. I am guessing a fellow knight radios him to warn him and he takes off.

[@isaiahnungusuituq9549]

My first play through on the BOS I was DEVASTATED when I found out that he’s a synth

[@mr.forgottenone9910]

I always thought he was taken and replaced as a synth when you go get the part for communication array as you leave him there and walk back by yourself

[@S0ulGh0st]

Like many, this I found that out the first time I did this mission because I was going full BOS on that character and having Danse tagging along is the most obvious choice.

[@MewCoYT]

Now this is why Codsworth is my favourite companion

[@1987nightrap]

Here I was expecting him to just dissapear

[@ignisofficialgaming]

Funnily enough, on my first playthrough I took Danse with me to secure the nukes and was surprised on my next run that he didn’t show up at Sentinel Site of his own accord to support during the mission. Tbh it was a smart touch by Bethesda to ensure there was a logical reason for Danse to part ways with the player before Blind Betrayal

[@Circular0rb]

Every single time I've got Danse with me

[@angryeliteultragree6329]

That’s what happened on my first play through. But I knew Danae wasn’t the bad guy, and I had Maxon’d my charisma.

[@casual_gamer58]

I did it before on accident, and when I fast traveled to the Pryden to see Danse gone I was like "eh, ai must've busted." And then the reveal came along.

[@MrCrashtester]

Another good thing is if you go to far harbor you don’t have to charisma check

[@NecroK47]

I bet you didn't know that when you finish blind betrayal and forgive the paladin dance, he will remain at 5 health until you level up.

[@noahpetaia]

You should try glitching Danse to maxon then he says he's gone rouge and see what happens

[@Mystic_Wow]

I didn't know danse was a synth God damnit

[@Undefined9]

"I'll inform Father and the BoS will be no mo-- I mean Ad Victorium!"

[@Sky_Of_Death54]

I’m a late player for Fallout 4, and I went literally everywhere with Danse. I feel betrayed.

[@chasewebb7830]

I did that, didn’t realize he wasn’t supposed to be there normally

[@Bloldywakna4736]

Oh yeah i remember that, Danse was my main companion besides Curie and Nick. I forgot though that he says that. I remembered that he stayed though

[@Pyrozen_Plays]

Danse had been a synth for years

[@EmonWBKstudios]

It's always neat when Bethesda actually accounts for something, instead of pigeon-holing the player.

[@user-cw5yk7sj7m]

I casually did this because he was always my companion in missions

[@sheriffoutlaw1144]

I’ve actually never done this mission without dance as a companion so I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to speak to him at the end of the mission

[@greenaum]

I always take Danse with me, it's more or less what you're supposed to do.

[@Werewolf_Korra]

I think I accidentally did this not knowing Danse was a Synth my first playthrough

[@chubbygoat37]

i brought Danse with me the first time on BOS playthrough and thought that when we separated, that's the exact moment after when he was replaced as a Synth. SMH

[@TiddiesAreLife]

I was honestly so glad to find out he was a synth, always hating during our exploration 🤣 couldn’t steal shit! Couldn’t hardly be sarcastic without him disliking something ☠️ and he took the execution like a boss, shotty to the back of the head

[@eternalmiasma5586]

Really good attention to detail

[@landon8438]

I actually figured out. He was a sense when I accidentally killed him like when I was in a place through I accidentally killed him and I saw he was a thin sent because I saw the robot part.

[@dustinsterling3588]

You can save dans if your charisma is high enough. Then you don’t have to kill him

[@Spartan-Four-Twenty]

Us: Well, what if we bring Danse with us? Bethesda: Truth is, the game was rigged from the start.

[@therealquade]

Here's a better one. send danse to a settlement, do the mission, get danse, THEN turn in the quest.

[@diayork7523]

Ghouls let alone children of Adam wasn't at the location where the nukes were

[@cirilodesantiagocruz6473]

He stays behind then it glitches the game that you can't kill him in a later mission when it's found that he's a synth

[@DecepticonScout]

Ya, we don't want them to fall into the wrong... OH WAIT, they just did. Long live the Institute.

[@calugame]

Wtf dude, i just didi this like an hour ago, what a coincidence

[@finleyscott8786]

Danse goes every where with me

[@mickeygs5843]

First playthrough I did this but he was carrying all my shit and I couldn't get it back, the game set his dialogue to repeat "I'm staying here" so I had to re do the whole bunker from the elevator

[@The8thblock]

I'm more surprised to know there people who didn't take danse on a bos mission

[@romanzusman2892]
