[John Webfishing]

You get 4 choices:
Yes
Yes?
Sarcastic yes
No (Yes)

its so dumm
rant over

Yeah the dialogue options ingame is pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible, a handful of times your character ends up saying something bizarre compared to what the option entails. With mods like extended dialogue interface, the options aren't as terrible, since you could know what SS really says.

Four Yoopers in a bar. NPCs
1. Ya.
2 Ya?
3. Oh Ya.
4. No. Ya.

One can short of a six pack.
Gotta go see a dog about a tree. Don't cha know.

Fallout 4 is more of a looter shooter than it is an immersive sim or rpg or story game.

If you're into modding, there are a few that care about that quirky "feature".

Nah not into modding i'd rather play a game with actually good dialogue options.

You can try this: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1235

Fixes most frustrations with the silly options that give you no clue to what you're about to say.

Many times what you choose only makes a minor change in what the NPC says, and doesn't change the outcome, like when talking to Ada.

^this.

Nothing matters - hey we just met, so now decide immediately with nary a clue or any questioning, you're either with us or against us! And if you're with us, entire factions of other people will be immediately and permanently against you and try to kill you on sight, even wearing different armour and clothes. And if you're against us, you don't leave here alive. NOW CHOOSE!

Uhh... what were my choices again? (:;slides hand onto trigger::)

This is a thing in nearly every video game though.

When does this happen in Fallout 4? With each faction you have the option to decline, shoot them on sight or join. Or tell them you come back later. What other option did you want? Let's go out to dinner first?

Let's pull an example here. Darla, the lady Valentine was tasked to find is hanging out with a gang living in a vault. You can get out of this situation in a few ways. You can tell Darla to go home, you can entice her to attack her friends or you can just kill em all. Or you can convince Skinny Malone to let you go.

There's plenty of other examples in the game where your choices matter, Sure basic conversations and certain story elements are scripted to go a certain way. But there's plenty that let you do what you want.

Funny thing is skyrim is even more shallow than this game

[Iron Knights]

Well, some of those dialogues could've been cut down altogether.
"Want to do the mission snowflake ?" Yes/No.
As for companions, it makes a nuance regardless but it also contains Affinity answers.

Dialog? Story? This is just a fancy digital Whack-A-Mole.
