Fallout conspiracy theory: Most of the skeletons in funny poses were placed like that by bored wastelanders long after the war.

saw a vertibird drop off two brotherhood soldiers fully armored, who then proceeded to kill two (2) bloodbugs and then declared the brotherhood of steel had been Victorious Once Again. like girl you swatted two mosquitoes you are not Saving the World at this pace

"The Wandering Monk"

Part of a Fallout fan project I'm working on about a ghoul monk living in the once Chinese occupied country of Tibet.

The story focuses heavily on buddhism, and the influences it has on this part of Asia post-war.

This was all hand painted in procreate

#1 of the ask game!

#1. the character everyone gets wrong.

Ok I know I’m a Benny lover blog, so people would expect me to say him, but no. I have a much bigger grievance.

JOSHUA GRAHAM. I say this as a Native American (Choctaw), who’s had to deal with Mormon bulshittery before. now to preface: I think he’s an interesting character, but I have a few key points I want to make.

originally I had a massive rant lined up for this, but I’ll summarize it.

I don’t think he’s as redeemed as people claim he is. I don’t think he’s taken measures to make up for the deeds of his past. I think he would have stayed with the Legion if it weren’t for the suffering he went through at Caesar’s hand. He’s a missionary and a colonizer. He sees the tribes as uncivilized, and hides behind his religion to continue his pattern of indoctrination and violence with them. On top of that: I think what people really forget is a running theme for all of the DLCs:

central characters are unreliable narrators, whether that be on purpose or through mindsets.

Dean Domino obfuscates the truth for most of Dead Money. The Think Tank don’t know the extent of their own histories. Ulysses is driven by a past that still hurts him.

Joshua Graham portrays his suffering as a baptism, a forgiveness of all of his prior sins so he might start anew, but he’s still the same person at his core. He still indoctrinates, he is still in the mindset of solving problems with violence, and he still views tribes as beneath him. I think a lot more could have been done with him, and I like the concept of him more than his actual character.

this is so fucking stupid

i can't [Confirmed Bachelor] benny but i guess that tacky black and white suit should've given it away he was straight. him calling me "baby" every other word gave me the wrong idea

[whenwillderekhalebehappy]

i was gonna do a brotherhood run but maxson told me to kill danse and its not that i love danse too much to do that, its just that i hate maxson too much to listen to him. so i shot him instead but he got danse really quick so now they're both dead.

this centrist ass robot not even standing in solidarity with his fellow robotkind (synths) smh

Your thoughts? after Road to Freedom

[whenwillderekhalebehappy]

i think fallout 4 has a substantial fanbase for the same reason that supernatural still has a lot of dedicated fans. which is that its not good, but its just promising enough that you can imagine how good it could be.

like fo4 has some truly interesting concepts in it, they just dont do anything with them.

[whenwillderekhalebehappy]

what do you guys think ghoul skin feels like? im thinking leathery and thick. like a football but more wrinkly

[whenwillderekhalebehappy]

maybe its because i played new vegas first but why's everyone hate mutants so much. and ghouls too. the brotherhood openly talks about "cleansing" the commonwealth from "muties" and such. pretty fascist of them. mutie is pretty much a slur in my ears. is it a thinly veiled metaphor for racism? i dont get it

[whenwillderekhalebehappy]

u guys like these so im making more

[whenwillderekhalebehappy]

fo4 stupid junk

[whenwillderekhalebehappy]

finished fallout 4 (i think)

that ending made no sense to me but i do think ive figured out everything that bothers me about this game.

- Dialogue options

There's not enough of them and I can't always tell what I'm going to say because I misinterpret the short version. It's sort of like the [glass him] situation from wolf among us, sometimes I expect an option to be friendly and then it's actually a threat.

Moreover, I wish that I could just ask the NPC's questions about themselves. But no, I can only engage in conversation when the game says so. I want to chat with my companions and ask questions about their life, not just "thoughts?".

Another big downside is that you frankly cannot have a good discussion about the issues in the commonwealth because the right questions arent even askable. I chose to join the railroad and destroy the institute, in his final moments Shaun asks me why I did it. I wanted to say that it was because I believe that the synths have free will and should be allowed to make their own choices. Additionally, the Institute has been carrying out all kinds of unethical experiments that have only made the Commonwealth more hostile to them. The institute does have the technology to help the people on the surface but they simply choose not to.

Instead of being able to say all that (or even some approximation of it), all I got was "for the greater good" at which Shaun just scoffs and the discussion is over.

- Lack of choice

The game frequently forces you to act a certain way. You get the illusion of choice, only for the game to then turn you down and say it isn't possible.

Example: In a directorate meeting (after Shaun has named you his successor) you are asked what your view is on the Brotherhood, and how the Institute should deal with them. I said that I thought conflict should be avoided, there's no good reason to fight them. I am immediately told that that's not an option and the Institute will go after the brotherhood regardless. You do get to choose between extra synth production, or more weapons.

Later, Shaun talks to you about the Railroad, asks where your loyalties lie, and then asks if you would be willing to destroy them. I firmly said no, and he told me to go do it anyway.

I find this incredibly frustrating. What's the point of asking me how to approach things when the decision has already been made. It's not just the Institute either, when Preston asks you to be the leader of the Minutemen, you can't talk to him about anything else until you say yes.
