Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. Don’t insult other community members in posts or comments, and don’t make posts designed to insult other community members or parts of the fandom with different opinions.

  2. Posts must be on-topic.

  3. No real life politics. That means no political advocacy, and no real life political discussions vaguely dressed up as on-topic posts. If you want to discuss real life politics, you are free to start your own community.

  4. Posts must be coherent.

  5. If a post is otherwise allowed but has realistic gore or nudity, please mark it NSFW.

  6. Spoilers about newly released official content must be marked as [SPOILERS] with post images blurred and no spoiler information in the thread title. Comments must adhere if the thread OP specified a non-spoiler thread.

PS: Don't use the fandom! please use fallout.wiki for everything instead.

Yep! That was my take.

Spoilers: when one of your followers discovers they were secretly a synth, it wasn't a big realization. It was like, "Yeah okay so imma go explore over there and kill some more super mutants. You wanna come and carry my burden or nah?"

Bethesda just can't seem to nail strong consistent storytelling. At least not compared to Rockstar, or dare I say it, Ubisoft. Which is weird because their DLC, like Shivering Isles/Tribunal & Blood Moon, and Far Harbor were pretty good in the story department.
