Forged

[clarky]

anybody else want to join the Forged as soon as they met them? I wanted it to work out like the Railroad did with choosing your code name after reading Slag's terminal with all the names.

Yeah, I remember killing them and thinking "Man I really hope I can join them on an evil playthrough." Then I found that this game gives you no option in deciding your morals and force you down the path of playing as a cliche boring, slightly dumb dad with the voice of a choir boy looking for his son I have no reason to give a ♥♥♥♥ about but not before taking 3 in-game months building settlements for mentally disabled NPCs, scavenging ruins for pre-war telephones and moon monkeys, and trying to nail Cait.

Yeah, Bethesda really fked up the writing here. I guess it's because the Forged classify as Raiders in-game

The hell with that
I just want to live in that factory so I can continue throwing bodies in it

[clarky]

What's stopping you lol?

[The Safe and Sterile Bread-Tan]

Lack of people to throw in

[clarky]

Would raiders follow you? WHy not aggro some raiders and run all the way lol

[Xenrek]

yeah the lack of an evil OR good playthrough kinda ruins the game

your stuck with choosing between 3 flavors of absolute cheese groups, all of which are ran by people i cant conceive of how they got in charge (yeah the brotherhood in FO3 wasnt classic, but at SOME point youd think after getting their ass repeatedly kicked by the NCR theyd realize ideals like the ones in 3 had would take a foothold, but no, better kill of lyons and make them go back to being retarded), plus one optional faction that for whatever reason CHOOSES to use weapons that even sound obsolete

none of them count as good guys because their "goals" are too horribly 1-dimensional and poorly thought out, and none of them are evil because, well, theyre only doing bad things based on the perceptions of the other groups (railroad 0> "oh no, BoS kills our murder-bot brothers, oh no the institute enslaves the murder-bots they create". institute "theyre stealing/killing our murderbots!". BoS "ermahgerd whats with all these people obsessing over sexbots")


i'unno, prydwen shoulda come in from the western Brotherhood, and brotherhood storyling shoulda focused on you choosing to either side with Sarah Lyons and support a reformation inside the brotherhood, or support the traditionalists and lead the outnumbered brotherhood to ultimate extinction. then the synths primarily be a railroad/institute storyline. minutemen then focusing on establishing a local governance of the commonwealth, against the various raider factions throughout the commonwealth
