How could you be in love with… well, a machine?

Bethesda are cowards. We should be able to romance original robot Curie.

combed through the underground robobrain production facility lookin for something important until i'd totally convinced myself i'd been misled.

i began to think perhaps these really are just prisoners who ghoulified from..... environmental deep-dirt radiation. in observation tanks. and on gurney conveyor belts. in a radiation lab.

checked every obscure corner before giving up. i backtracked to take an obligatory glance into a small chamber i skipped, simply labelled ROBOBRAIN R&D

which is a room devoted to admiring the mythical prewar ghoul aquarium. there are also deathclaw x-rays in this room, which make zero sense outside of the read that this is a secret, undocumented mutation laboratory

not only does this cement many of my long-standing suspicions, but it suggests, quite sensibly, that the robobrain project functioned as a cover for ghoul experiments.

it also dramatically recontextualizes the text of the dungeon itself, where destroying evidence & killing witnesses was a common topic. all the correspondence is evasive, and a few of the research notes hit as euphemistic. they wanted to leave zero evidence of these creatures... but ultimately neglected to incinerate them

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. i might have to cover this one on video. very elegant.

man, I want the dlc companions to interact. They wouldn't get along with eachother it would be so funny.

I worked on more illustrations for the Fallout RPG! These were for the Rust Devils NPC Pack  This specific Automatron-based NPC Pack looks incredible, I'm so happy I got to work on it �� "A raider gang with a taste for technology and the smarts to use them. Face off against heavily modified robots and their raider overseers at an abandoned satellite array."

(BTW I would love to work on the Fallout-themed MTG decks that WoTC announced, if anyone can help me with connections, and if there are cards left to illustrate) © 2023 Bethesda Game Studios © 2023 Modiphius Entertainment AD: Ariel Orea

I finished Automatron yesterday, and despite all the pain those three dungeons put me through, my protagonist chose to spare the Mechanist — because she's kind of adorable and because I headcanoned her as being barely older than my protagonist's daughter so she couldn't bring herself to harm her.

My favorite explanation for why the Sole Survivor would let her go in the end, though, is more like the encounter with Caesar in New Vegas after you kill Benny in which he tells you "okay, you've fucked up all of my plans while repeatedly declaring yourself to be my mortal enemy. Clearly, this means you're good at your job so what do you think of working for me?"

The only way to deal with Jezebel in Fallout 4 is to finish The Mechanist, send her back to the lair, and then ice her. I hate that Fallout makes you "accept" her as a settler. I also wanted to gloat to her stupid eyeball about how I won.

Thinking about my queer little apocalypse again. The Man nukes the world, I crawl out of a hole to find my kid and avenge my dead husband, but first I gotta start dating these robot ladies.

if the teachers from diamond city can get married despite one of them being a miss nanny then realistically the only thing standing between me and ada is todd himself

Thank you for your sacrifice NIRA.“
