Who is "Commie"?
I'm playing Fallout 4 with all DLCs and only one Mod: Tales from the Commonwealth.

I was near the Cambridge Police Station when I came across a dead body of a guy in power armor. I think he had been killed in a battle I heard while approaching. When I approached him to loot him, it said his name was "Commie". That's it.

I tried searching and the only references to "Commie" I could find refer to the "Commie Whacker" and "Whac-a-Commie" from Nuka World.

So who is "Commie"? Anyone know? I've never seen the character before that I can remember. Is this a regular FO4 character or a Tales character?

Download and install the Better Console mod, open up the console and click on this "Commie" guy. It will rat out the mod where he came from.

is that one you can get in-game like "Tales from the Commonwealth" or something you have to use some external program to install?

If it's the latter, I think I'll just let ignorance be bliss or hope someone here knows. I get it that mods are incredible and all that, I just don't have the mental cycles available to learn the pitfalls and workarounds of it. It took a lot for me to even bring myself to install this one mod.

I appreciate the suggestion regardless. Don't mean to sound ungrateful.

Just use Nexus' mod manager, Vortex, if you have trouble installing mods. It's pretty straight-forward and user friendly.

If Tales From the Commonwealth is your only mod, however, then we know the culprit. 400 hours into the game, here, and I never met anyone called "Commie".

Let's wait for the 5000+ hours players and see if they know anything about it.

Open the construction kit with the mod loaded and you'll find immediately where he comes from and all his characteristics
In the CK use the search option and type the word "commie".You should find him in the "items" index

Look up Commie in the FO4 wikia and you'll find no relevant results, so he's added by a mod

sounds like it's just a generic name, like Raider or Settler.

Yeah I guess it must be a Tales addition. Oh well. Thanks all.

Never heard of a character like that in vanilla game, but in Tales from the commonwealth there is one character named Commie, a girl who doesnt speak and goes with a group of friendly gunners. Its my first time playing the mod so I dont know if there are more npcs named Commie. But, i have explored cambridge and i didnt found that character that you say, so, maybe is other mod? Also, in the TFC nexus page you can see a list of all the npcs that that mod adds.

Oh THAT's who that is! Thanks, that was driving me crazy.

Now I remember that whole little quest. Met them in some garage somewhere. Did some simple task or something. After it was over, they pack of them started just walking around. Basically "patrolling", singing their army chants. I followed them through that area where I later found Commie. There was a big firefight. Since I think they are protected otherwise, I guess I must have accidentally been the one to kill commie.

I've seen the others from that group (e.g. "Joker" and "Brick") a bunch of times since then. I keep mistaking them for actual Gunners and accidentally killing them from a distance. Then I come close, realize who they are and go back a save.

But Commie is gone, I'm afraid. Sorry Commie.
