Who is Nate?

[SkepticJoker]

What would he actually do? Who would he side with? What kind of person is he?

I think he would rush the main quest line to find his son, and turn down helping everyone except for maybe Preston during When Freedom Calls.

What I'm not sure about, is what he would do after he discovers the fate of his son. Nor can I say for sure what factions he would end up siding with.

The point of Fallout 4 isn't to pretend to be Nate, but to pretend to be whatever character you wish to be, I get that. But what if Nate wasn't a just hollow shell?

he's a cuck

We don't really know, all we know for sure is Nate was a former soldier and Anchorage veteran. We don't even know what role we were in the military, other than likely not high rank like general or admiral.

Likewise Nora all we know is she's a lawyer, who took time off when she got pregnant and her husband returned from the war. We further have no clue what her legal specialty was, was she primarily prosecutor, defense, or if she was aiming for judge.

............

To make things even more complicated the events at the start of the game count as multiple major traumas that thanks to cyro sleep are still fresh as were now left in a wasteland and that itself is more than enough to cause major life changes.

The whole point of the game is that you get to decide the answers to those questions.

He was some sort of decorated war hero. Seems I saw once that he was awarded the congressional medal of honor or something similar with a different name. I distinctly remember that the name was different, but the intent of highest honor was there.

I guess he was to give a talk in Concord and they wanted to get him to give a talk down at the Cambridge Fraternal Post 115 too.

How the dialogue is written you really can't escape it, you can be a Dr.Jeckyll or Mr.Hyde version of Nate, but how hard I try I can never escape the mold.

I feel like the best roleplay, if you want to get it out of Fallout 4 is to be an aggressive Nora with caring qualities, that way the game never broke character.

Sure, he'd ignore all the quests & factions, but what kind of more-one believes his son is still 10yo. though he was abducted as a baby, but himself frozen for 200 years.
It would make for a 5min. game, nvm he is a synth or maybe that will make it faster.

[Xenon The Noble]

I don't like using the names of people who I know who have had the same name.
I knew a Nate from work. He was an okay guy, seemed nice enough. But he never did anything, got paid more than me, and didn't even have an assignment. The Boss always spoke glowingly of him. Then higher management started asking questions because they had data on releases - part of a witch hunt to find those who made late release. Nate? No releases at all. So, the boss who liked hims took off the easy releases from my work assignment and gave them to Nate.
He and the boss clearly had some personal thing going. I'd seen it with other bosses, but it was usually Nora.

Current Sole Survivor is named Zork. Also been Gort, Major Kong, Commander Keen...

[GoreTiger]

Considering his military background, He would likely join either the Brotherhood of steel or the Minutemen.

[RIVEIR]

You are Nate. Given the background given you decide. For instance you could be the mentally ill veteran who goes even more insane killing everyone in the commonwealth including all the children but sparing only your trusty dog. Probably need a couple mods to do all that but you decide.

Wife would probably be a scribe since she is some kind of lawyer=brainy.

I hate to say it but Nora would prob side with the Institute. She's used to having the comfortable home lifestyle and safety so she'll prob take the institute's living situation over everyone else's.
