General and her ladies, circa 2291

[selfish-solace]

these are my official thoughts on hit fallout 4 dlc "automatron"

[stoat-party]

Found out today that Isabel Cruz is semi-canonically autistic.

[ezekiel13]

The Automaton/Mechanist story has the plot of a Gumball episode.

Gumball and Darwin/Isabel Cruz want to make the world better and safer so they program Bobert/Robobrains to “help”. The robot interprets the best way to help the world/humans is by killing humans.

Except Gumball and Darwin realised they were wrong but bloody Isabel Cruz had to keep on killing me until I could explain it.

[some-brave-apollo]

Automatron was already kinda coded as post-game from the quest titles ("A New Threat", "Restoring Order") but honestly it makes so much sense as the next chapter of the Commonwealth following a Railroad ending specifically, given that faction lacks the interest in governing that the others do and the inevitable power vacuum that comes from that. Honestly I wonder if there was ever an idea to make Isabel ex-Institute, although admittedly it would make the Commonwealth feel a lot smaller. It's also the next step thematically... You've committed to the idea of android sapience, but what about other artificial lives?

God, I wish Glory got to live to meet Ada. I love you Deacon but making Glory the Railroad companion would've kicked so much ass ESPECIALLY when her rarely addressed beliefs on robot sapience would be perfect for automatron.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL THE MECHANIST IS AUTISTIC!!!!

YAAAAAAAY THANK U SHENGQU GAMES

Do you think the fallout 3/4 DLCs were impacted by not being very connected to each other? i know that fnv's could've been more interconnected but even as they are it's fun to pick out the small interconnected parts and the shadows Christine/ Ulysses/ Father Elijah cast in different ways. Feels like at least FO4 could've done something similar (unless i missed it?)

I think the thing is that the DLC in Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4 are all doing different things from each other and for the most part all three sets are succeeding at their intended projects. Fallout New Vegas is the most heavily narrative-focused, each of the DLC being a reiteration of the main game's core theme of people and societies who are just stuck doing the same things over and over until someone finds a way to break the cycle. They're principally narratives. Fallout 3, the DLC are less narratives for you to experience and more adventures for you to go on- weird whacky setpiece oneoffs that you wander into, resolve, and wander out of. I mean I don't think Point Lookout really had a theme. I actually recall much of the base game being structured similarly to that, the communities of the game feeling isolated and unmoored from each other in a way that hurt the worldbuilding but helped the vibe, so I'm not entirely against them being basically isolated from each other in the way that they are. Bonus episodes of the Lone Wanderer Show {complementary}.

Fallout 4's DLC's wouldn't be aided much in their project by the addition of a New-Vegas style metanarrative. The goal of those expansions wasn't principally to tell a story- it was to expand the simulationist aspects, give the player more things to make and more things to be. Make robots, make vaults, make contraptions, make arenas, make the fake little people in your settlements dance like marionettes. The narrative scaffolding wasn't all bad, but it was often very visibly a fig-leaf, a lubricant. Isabel Cruz was fun but she's not why people bought Automatron. Nuka-World is the pinnacle of that impulse- a whole new region acting as a clumsy patch for the complaint that there are few meaningful "evil options" in the base game.... by creating a DLC that's bizarrely cocksure that you'll pivot and commit to trashing a whole playthrough's-worth of good-guy settlement building. I'm not making a novel complaint here, there's like a hundred youtube videos complaining about this. But it succeeds in that you can be a raider boss now, on top of all the other stuff your character can be. Far Harbor is the only one of the addons that breaks from this, where the workshop takes a backseat to a fairly well-thought-out narrative with something to say. And I feel like that narrative doesn't have a lot to gain from any of the other addons chiming in, and vice versa.

[deepest-dope]

What are your OC’s names?

Fallout New Vegas ocs are Cave Mann (the Jackal turned Courier turned Usurper of New Vegas), David Davidson(the Ex-Enclave turned Great Khan), Belinda(the Viper Priestess Dave married), Sidewinder(Belinda's firstborn and Dave's eldest child, Viper whos had an ongoing crisis of faith since age 5), Rocko(Adopted second son of Dave and Bel and arguably their most stable child), Wild Rose(youngest child, wandering nonbinary bisexual whos formed a gang composed entirely of people in their polycule) honorable mentions to Yvette, Driver Nephi, and Violet who are technically existing New Vegas characters but with how little there is to them in game they might as well be my ocs

Fallout 3's only character for now is James Guzman Jr(the Not So Lone Wanderer, seriously he travels with minimum 3 companions at least, more often not ALL OF THEM what was Three Dog thinking man)

Fallout 4's "Nathan Leibowitz" (Nezir Aydem, one of the greatest minds Pre and Post War. Changed his name to immigrate from Turkey to america and took Nora's last name to downplay his heritage, The Sole Survivor and The Mechanist after Isabel Cruz and arguably worse then her while vastly more successful), "Nathan Leibowitz" (Nadir Aydem, Nezirs twin brother he smuggled into the country, occasional body double Pre-war, later accidentally revived as a "failed" clone of Nezir created by Father post war, saved by his twin when he commits hostile takeover of the institute, eventually forced to save the commonwealth from his brother and the robot army he builds), Nora Leibowitz (woman in a lavender marriage with "Nathan", later revived by Father as a "successful" clone of the original Nora, until she escapes into the wasteland on her own and takes over Nuka World to liberate the enslaved people there, ends up leader of the settlement working with Cito, Oswald the Outrageous, Sierra, Bradberton, and the former slaves that stick around

One Piece Ocs: Joliceur D. Grigori (Ex-Cipher Pol Agent turned Revolutionary Army Affiliate/Orphanage Caretaker/Amazon Baby Daddy and the Dad that Stepped Up for various orphans and a kid that later turned out to be his actual blood offspring), Lily of the Valley(Amazon Warrior, Greatest Swordswoman and Current Holder of the Record for Shortest Reigning Queen of Amazon Lily, she was the queen for twenty minutes after a council of elders selected her from a group of other candidates, it wouldnt have even been one if theyd told her she was being considered, mother of one of my other ocs), Joliceur D Briar (Child born on Amazon Lily that later leaves to dedicate their life to The Martial Arts, adopted by Grigori and taught rokushiki to mastery, before moving on to pursue other martial arts like Fishman Karate, Lily of the Valley's wayward child given up to her blood father Grigori after a good talk, Grigori does not figure out theyre his blood child until theyve already left to hunt bounties and become champion of various fighting rings and tournaments for money to fund their training journey), Halfdan the Younger(Half Ancient Giant Clan Half Human, Briar's Bounty Hunter Buddy, due to the lack of info on how dangerous his birth could be to his human mother his birth caused the death of both his parents, so he was raised by fully human older half siblings who did not handle grief well and an ex-slave wotan who was technically rescued by said older siblings only because they needed someone large enough to care for him as a baby until he was sentient enough to control the mini mini devil fruit powers his parents sacrificed their lives to get for him), Takao(Colossal Squid Half fishman half giant who helped raise Halfdan, has a complicated relationship with all 3 children whove ended up kind of under his care but Halfdan actually gives him the most complicated feelings out of the 3, the humans stress him out way less then he thought they would, agreed to care for halfdan because he considers being freed to be a life debt)

Okay Okay Hear Me Out...… Fallout 4 Dlc Automatron

I brought this dlc cause I just wanted to have all of the dlc’s so I could use more mods - plus It sounded cool to have a Robo friend. But apart from that I wasn't really interested 

So when I started it up and met Ava I swear I ditched Maccready, and helped Ava on her vengeful quest. And throughout the quest I pretty much got sick of being blown up by robots that I was more than down to kill the Mechanist.

So imagine my sharpshooter fo4 character, always in a cowboy hat and sunglasses and looking more like a fallout new Vegas character than my own fnv character, and she is about to happily kill the Mechanist when they take off their mask and my stupid ass bisexual heart is met with Isabel Cruz. I kid you not I was flabbergasted for like 5 minutes and Instantly went into crush mode.  

In short I vow to protect the sweet cinnamon roll and fuckin nerd that Isabel is. Please tell me I'm not the only one won over and loves this character

[joanathedummy]

So I messed up during my battle with the Mechanist.

I ended up killing all of the robots, which stopped the power from decreasing. After an hour of her just spamming mines, flaming tanks, and shock coils on my character and Ada, I had to swallow my pride and go back to a save...back to the beginning when I walked into the Roboco sales center.

Isabel Cruz, when I find you, I'm going to make your head a trophy!

[somethingthatsgonnaoutliveme]

It was a beautiful morning at Taffington Boathouse. Brahmin were bellowing, the mutfruit trees were in full bloom, and the river reflected the blue sky almost perfectly.

It was kind of ironic. Usually, when people thought of funerals, they'd probably imagine it would be raining, nature itself joining the congregation in their mourning, the rain as much an expression of grief as their tears. But the weather at Taffington was exactly the opposite, and it made the mourners a little happier to know not everything had to be gloomy this day.
