How could you be in love with… well, a machine?

Bethesda are cowards. We should be able to romance original robot Curie.

Started Automatron.

DANSE WE HAVE A NEW DAUGHTER :D

You know, I feel like if Fallout 4's Automatron DLC was allowed to be larger, it could've been really fascinating!

This isn't just going to be a "Nuka-World was dissappointing" Type post, just a speculative advancement of Automatron's base ideas.

I LOVE Ada!

Her, Preston and Codsworth are my favorite Fo4 companions.

Ada, unlike all companions except Dogmeat, does not have Affinity. She has no Loves, Likes, Dislikes, or Hates.

This seems a bit lackluster, because the other DLC companions do have affinity, and throughout Automatron we can convince Ada that she's alive and important, that her ability to 'simulate' emotions is vital to her as a person and the memories of her previous group.

And then I realized that Far Harbor and Nuka-World both have factions you can join; The Harbormen, The Children of Atom, and Acadia for FH, and the Raiders and the Traders of NW.

Given that in base Fo4 we have a Companion for every faction and then some; it would makes some sense to have that in the DLC's so that we don't just lose a big part of those stories with no gain.

the tangent in mind, you might be asking "Yeah, so? The Automatron DLC ends in one way."

Which isn't true - yes, you take over the facility no matter what, but you can do it Peacefully by talking down Isabela, or by killing her.

And it's a VERY powerful place, with a lot of resources. You have control of it.

It would makes sense for an evil character to use it for themselves, to take control of it, and not shut it off.

If you were able to do this, perhaps Ada, who has been working with you to SHUT DOWN the operations to turn on you, and Isabela to do the same if you settle things with her peacefully.

AS stated; losing a DLC companion would suck, and Ada is different than every companion except dogmeat.

Which why I propose that Jezebel could have been the Evil Automatron companion.

Think about it - a single, verbally expressive, feminine robot needs your assistance to get out of their situation and modify them. They have information useful to you, and will offer it if you help them.

Ada accepts your assistance immediately; giving you the Robot Workbench schematics at your word.

Jezebel only helps you when you give her a body.

Ada is the Good Companion, she wants people to be safe, to survive and not suffer as her caravan did. She's thoughtful and kind and understanding when you pick up scrap for resource; outright giving it to you.

Jezebel would then be the Bad Comapnion; she wants to "Save" people, she's bitchy and self centered; she insults you (In admittedly Funny ways.)

It would makes sense, in my mind, if there was just a little bit more in Automatron. It bugs me that Ada doesn't have a Companion Perk when everyone else does (except Dogmeat.)

Yes I understand that a part of it is that Ada is the Questgiver and Besthesda wanted you to not waster resources on a companion you could lose; but fuck that. I want to Romance the Robot.

I want to romance ALL THE ROBOTS, THAT'S RIGHT! THIS HAS BEEN ROBOTFUCKER PROPA-

I'm joking.

I just wanted to speculate about a different kind of Automatron we could have gotten.

I like to imagine that Jezebel would give you Ammo to help "Save" People.

Ada is not only the best female companion in Fallout 4 but a contender for a Top 3 companion out of the whole roster including DLCs. I'm not joking.

Thinking about my queer little apocalypse again. The Man nukes the world, I crawl out of a hole to find my kid and avenge my dead husband, but first I gotta start dating these robot ladies.

Settlers of the Commonwealth

I'm your only friend, Ron.

and this is Freedom's Tank.

Freedom's Tank is the latest edition to the Commonwealth Minutemen's Arsenal. She's the toughest bitch this side of the Atlantic. Fitted with a head laser that can cook Mirelurks, a big hammer that can smash raiders into submission, and a refreshing Nuka Cola Quantum powered launcher.

But Freedom's Tank is no mindless machine that only craves the imolation of raiders, gunners, and monsters. They have the machine soul of a poet. They contemplate life and it's many beauties. Such as this ocean full of trash.

So, people of the Commonwealth, how can I get you to invest your hard earned caps in making sure we can produce more Freedom's Tanks?

Going to start getting into the habit of posting more WIP and building my confidence up (and make me feel more accountable to finish stuff I start tbh) hims my little robot baby🥺
