I really like that Deacon guy

"Back before I met you, I'd go whole days without massacring a bunch of things. Honest."

I love this man too much. I'd say send help, but it's too late for me. Save yourself.

Deacon's dislike and hate talks are my favorite of any companion in fo4 because they're so unique and it's such a great look into his character.

In his first talk he really tries to get through to you. He tries to explain in a non-aggressive, even complimentary, manner why he hasn't been liking what you've been doing lately. Depending on what you say he basically babies you.

In his second talk is when he shows a hint of anger which I find super interesting because Deacon rarely shows anger. Even when you do things he hates he either won't say anything or will make a sarcastic comment about how he disagrees with what you did. I can only think of three times genuine anger/frustration is shown from him: this talk, starting the kill-the-Railroad quest for the Brotherhood, and his talk for when you murder someone which was cut from the game. He only has anger in his voice at the very beginning of the 2nd talk. Then it fades, showing that he's suppressing it or calming himself down.

But the main reason I am so fascinated by this talk is because he is the only companion (besides Strong) who you can not convince to give you one last chance. There's no option, no orange or red skill check. If you ask him to stay he says, "Not gonna happen. Sorry."

Where most companions will leave on bad terms after their second (or third if you convince them to stay) talk, Deacon says "We'll be seeing each other a lot, and I'm not one to hold grudges. Just remember, we're trying to help people, not make the garbage dump stink even more." And then leaves on distant coworker terms. In both talks (at least to me) he feels notably distant in the way he speaks to you. He already has his walls up and he tries to explain to you what the problem is before realizing in his second talk it was a useless venture.

Throughout both talks he compares you to Glory which is a whole other interesting topic (especially taking into account a tense conversation you can hear between Desdemona and Glory if you hang around Railroad HQ long enough).

I just love him.

The fact we can't romance him is a tragedy.

Soul Survivor: How could you do this to me? We are so understaffed.

Deacon: Who won gold?

the reason why deacon fallout 4 is one of my favorite fallout characters is because he's so good at being deacon. whenever he says something, you can't help but wonder if he's yanking your chain or not. like to this day i cant help but debate if the whole story about barbara was real or not. i say it is but that little feeling of doubt and not wanting to take anything deacon says at complete face value is still there.

he's just so good at cementing himself as deacon, the liar.

and it's honestly so sad to me because assuming it's all true, he finally let somebody in and showed them the real him. but because of how he presents himself and the whole deaconsona he keeps up and is careful to maintain, it's kind of a fail. like deacon's worst enemy is deacon. and it's so fucking tragic because he's such a martyr.

"Welcome to the, uh, Great Green Jewel. You'll totally love it here."

Worked on this WAY too long. Seriously, fuck this armor. I hate it (he still looks kinda hot in it tho, but that's just cause he looks hot in everything). I give up and it's good enough.

Used a screenshot from @freerainhl as reference.
