notable player interactions ive had in fallout 76 as a lurker who never talks to anybody

(note im using "guy" as a neutral term i have no clue what genders anyone here was)

- mothman cultist lookin guy who came into my house, gave me a sick mothman ritual cloak thing ive never seen before, did a spooky dance for like 30 seconds and then disappeared

- someone who built an elaborate camp around a tree in a swamp and lined the entire perimeter with frog jars

- guy who bought all my rocketships and left (i have a toy museum and sell toy items. my guess is they wanted the aluminum but who am i to question your passions)

- guy who ran at me at full speed out of nowhere while i was working on my camp, punched me, and ran away never to be seen again

-guy in power armor using a stealth boy hiding from a room full of feral ghouls. i was about level 10 at the time and had an axe. i just walked in and killed them myself

-unknown medic fairy who left like 100 super stimpaks and a ton of radaway in a loot bag at my camp while i was down in my shelter

- guy in a mothman mask who watched me fighting for my life running across the whitespring lawn with like 7 angry mirelurks chasing after me and then when i managed to kill them all, gave me a 👍 (note they may have been intending to come over to help me but the comedic timing was impeccable)

- guy in power armor relentlessly following me around the nuka carnival going absolutely ballistic on me with a thirst zapper. i didnt have a zapper and didnt know how to emote at the time so i didnt know what to do. eventually they very insistently led me to a bag full of water. i took it and they left. thank you water bandit

-joined a summoning mothman event with like 15 people and when wise mothman appeared everyone gathered around him dancing and doing ❤️ emotes and then suddenly started shooting him (wise mothman was non hostile so i have no idea why they were beating him up)

ive had raider punk living at my camp with me for a while and i think his relationship toward robin is 100% exactly

That actually happened to me a couple hundred years ago

my (future) ghouls...

bonnie (the courier) ends up being a mojave desert legend/cryptid who kinda disappears not long after new vegas occurs. i want her to have a really cool nickname as a ghoul but i cant think of one that isnt already something else

star (the lone wanderer) becomes a (still sentient) glowing one in a catastrophic explosion in some old vault somewhere or another. butch didn't make it. star did, but lost half her face in the process. she ends up in the commonwealth and runs across maccready again eventually. everyone in capital wasteland outside of necropolis mostly thinks she's dead

i fucked up drawing lucas (sole survivor) hes supposed to have that skull face makeup but i didnt look at a reference and my markers were too dark but anyways hes just 11 different kinds of messed up and ghoulifies himself probably on purpose. hes got a weird infatuation with radiation and wants to live forever. i think by the time he becomes a ghoul he is also head of the institute and is mostly just known as "The Director"

robin lore for today (my 76 dweller)

- has a massive scar across her face. by bonnie's time (my Courier, robin's several-greats-granddaughter) legend has it she got it in a fight with the devil himself

- she actually got it by getting her face slashed open by clowns at showmens' pier. this incident got overshadowed by the story about the jersey devil (which she DID fight. but i only succeeded bc it didnt reset health when i respawned so it felt like cheating. lore wise i feel like it had to be some freak occurrence like a beam broke off the roof and smashed it or something)

so. it was actually. just knife clowns

Anyway

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.

hello and welcome to the virtual tour of my castle settlement which i have put so many things into the game has blocked me from building any more. i have a whole tiny city going in here. could probably use some updating now that i have more add-ons and therefore more options, but

heres the main shops, everyone say hi nick

i put the vault tec sales guy in charge of the general store (hes slacking off in this picture but its fine) and he seems to be living his best life. he didn't think there was a place for a salesman in this world now and i was like hold on. i have the perfect job

little clinic (there are also science and medical magazines in here)

continue on for more. also let me know if y'all like these id be glad to do more of them but this is definitely my most elaborate settlement

my restaurant. looks really boring now that i look at it though maybe ill mess with it some more. i dont remember if there were remnants of a kitchen in here originally or if i just decided to put a restaurant there, but

the weapon and armor shops (say hi to nick again) (he kept getting in the way, )

i walled off most of these little alcoves and turned them into tiny houses. i gave each of them a color theme because i love a color theme. this one is white house. the vault tec sales guy lives there. it's my favorite one. i don't know why

here we have red house. it's the biggest one bc it's at the end of the hall

theres blue house. i think i have the ability to make blue chairs now but i think the green looks nice with the plants so maybe ill leave it

heres green house. it has a little patio area. i think curie lives in here. i didn't assign anyone to specific beds but i think they auto assign if you didn't set it? bc i always see the vault tec guy in the white house and curie's usually in here. i have no idea where preston sleeps but he lives at the castle when he's not with me too. anyway i need more things for the shelf

i made this one into a bathroom. im just pretending the plumbing works bc i dont want to think too much about the implications otherwise. water fountains work when you build them, so,

i think this was originally some kind of meeting room so i went with it and tried to build off that, it's also where i store extra weapons and grenades and stuff. the npcs love knocking over everything on the table. i never see them do it but it happens constantly

this one is a rec room/bunk house. i dont remember if i ever found a full set of pool balls for that table or not. i know the TVs don't do anything but i like that they can still turn on. maybe one day there'll be something to watch. presumably if video tapes still exist those might work??

the npcs knocked this over and ruined it almost immediately but look at my cute bullet checkers :')

i would Love to see y'alls settlements/stuff you've built/collections of things pls send me if you have them

Lore-Friendly Travel Gear Companions part 1. i think the other three will actually be a bit more challenging but i will figure it out. wrt arcade's holster i do believe that is the gayest way to do it
