remember how Dina casually drops that there is a 70% chance you are a synth?

AND THEN NO ONE EVER MENTIONED IT AGAIN?????

In fo4 people talk abt water travel being especially dangerous so nobody does it anymore. Far Harbour obviously disputes that but there’s a very key feature abt the boating travel you do in the DLC; The Nakano’s have their autopilot set on a specific route. Mainly so the player doesn’t have to faff around and pretend they can drive a boat/so Bethesda wouldn’t make an actual vehicle, but I propose a second reason: Naval mines.

I like to think that basically the entire coast is lined with mines and anybody that’s sailed out far enough into the ocean has just fucking spontaneously exploded so nobody wants to even TRY getting to Europe or Canada or etc. except experienced boaters that stick close to the shore with a very specific and set path through the water

Anyway just a small dumb idea I had lol

Yesterday, I picked up fallout 4 again, WTF IS UP WITH THE ENDING OF FAR HARBOR???LIKE NO MATTER WHAT I DO, I JUST DONT FEEL SATISFIED WITH MY ENDING.

And for reasons I won't spoil doing the "right" thing also feels wrong. I'm all for complicated stories with hard to make decisions, but this isn't one of them.

But maybe I'm just too spoiled by my power of friendship runs in every other game I've played

Fo4 Far Harbor DLC spoilers

Replaying Far Harbor and watching vids abt the different lore it’s impossible to see DiMA as anything but an evil, hypocritical, and downright stupid monster. I don’t get how so many people love him.

He’s a murderer who had plans to obliterate an entire people and who did murder and replace an innocent woman. When you confront him about those memories that he purposefully removed bc he couldn’t live with how evil he is he’s like “I can’t believe I did that :’( we should totally do it again tho that’s a really good idea.” And then you can!!! It’s literally the exact same horrible things that the Institute does! He manipulates Kasumi (who we can determine by talking to the Institute, the people she knows, and by killing her in an Institute quest is not a synth) into believing she is a synth and lures her to the island with this manipulation!! He manipulates many others like this too to get his evil desires done in pretty obvious ways. I would count many of his synths, Nick, and the player among his targets.

If you’re sided with the Institute and you tell him and his synths to come back to it he says no but that he will not run and will not attack you. He condemns all of the synths in his “sanctuary” by taking not action and allowing you to go report back their existence to the Institute so that coursers can come reclaim or kill everyone there!! Same thing happens if you tell him you’re with the Brotherhood and synths existence is an affront to humanity he’s like “okay but we’re not gonna leave still” and then you can bring the Brotherhood forces to murder them all.

If you blow up some of the factions on the island he’ll be like “You’ve only brought death here >:( I hope you can live with yourself you monster!” Like that wasn’t his WHOLE ASS PLAN that he removed his memories of bc he couldn’t live with himself!!! Fucking hypocrite!!! This is only a few of his crimes. He is so evil and stupid it hurts.

Positive rant!!

I love far harbor. I love the fog and the green and the pine trees. I love the creatures and how beautiful they are. I love all of the lakes and rivers and weird boundaries in the middle of the map. I love DiMA and faraday and they are in love and it makes me happy. I love the blind faith of the children of atom and the glow of the bottles and the comforting sound of the Geiger counter. I love the music, fearful and optimistic and real. I love the people of far harbor, stubborn and cold, yet also close knitted and caring . I love the campsites and the pre war remains

I love the themes of it all, the struggle between preserving nature and using it as a tourist attraction. I love the motif of loss, appearing in the very first scene all the way to the last. I love the way it adds a level of depth to everything in the commonwealth. Nick mourns for the life he had but can’t remember, yet also is afraid of not finding the answers. The sole survivor learns that, no matter how hard you try, no good deed goes unpunished. That they can’t save everyone. That hope is a blessing for the masses but a grave for the few. That the world is unpredictable and cruel, yet that is what makes it so lovely to being with. it plays out like a noir novella, well written and painfully, heartbreakingly tragic. What is a add-on to a video game franchise re-evaluates what it means to be alive, and who we are in our own stories.

I love this world so, so much.

I don't feel like retyping my recap, as it would spoil some major plot points, but I finished the Far Harbor DLC, resorting to choices which I felt were the most ideal. I say ideal, because no one died!

But, genuinely. I actually had to stop and think for a moment about my actions. It was really difficult, a lot of tough decisions to make... and I wanted the least amount of bloodshed possible. Even if some blood was inevitably spilt.

But when I think about it, it is inevitable that DiMA's cycle of violence will only perpetuate. Now that he not only has to mull his guilt — which I know he'll inevitably force himself to forget, by storing the memory somewhere else — he also has to mull over the deaths of every single one of the Children of Atom. The first people to ever accept him as a synth on the mountain, without judgment.

However, I was also considering Nick's personal feelings, alongside those of DiMA, the synths of Acadia, and the folks in Far Harbor. He'd just been grappling with the concept that everything he knew about his "escape" was fabricated for his own safety — trauma reasons, I'm sure — but the fact that he has a family. Family who, no matter how much with whom he wants to reconcile, has done some evil, unforgivable things.

I wish it would be further discussed even after the events of Far Harbor, but... damn. Fuck. I love this game. I love this DLC.

Play Far Harbor, it's like $15 on Steam.

Realized I forgot to introduce Eileen again LMAO

My sea shanty interest was reignited and I was like “:O Boston is a coastal town I can make a sailor oc!!” And promptly remembered Far Harbour exists and so now she is there :)

She left the mainland after nearly destroying the entire commonwealth for her kiddo Eliza. Blew up the Prydwen, Railroad, nearly collapsed the Minutemen, and eventually destroyed the Institute when they created a synth version of her husband and she realized just how much they were manipulating her. She left Eliza with Nick and fucked off North, a good fifty miles past the Nakano residence, where she fixes up an old boat and fishes the days away in solitude. Nick eventually finds her a year or two later and needs her boat to head to far harbour to find Kasumi Nakano, and they get stranded there together cuz a sea monster basically ate her boat :)

Anyway she’s also from Newfoundland and Labrador, got military training from soldiers she helped guide through the Northwest Passage, and commonly goes by “The Lobstermonger” in Far Harbour due to her hiding her identity out of shame for all she’s done. I <3 her I’m sorry
