I wish there was more functionality with disrupting the different factions in Fallout 4. It would be so cool if you could stealth kill someone important and it would effect all of the factions they contribute to without you necessarily become enemies with the faction if you do it right. (Spoilers ahead)

Kill Liam Benêt? No more synths are able to escape the Institute. You have to claim innocence when the Railroad realizes something’s wrong and when the Institute realizes the kid’s dead frame someone else, reveal Liam was betraying them, or have great difficulty trying to appear uninvolved with the killing entirely.

Kill Prof Scara or Doctor Li? The Liberty Prime project is dead or stalled. Maybe this means you can no longer end the game with the Brotherhood (like what happens when you blow your undercover mission with the Railroad).

Finally shut that asshole Doctor Ayo up for good? Someone else becomes the acting head of the SRB possibly even making the program less reactionary or prioritized by Father as a new acting head may not steal extra energy or find it necessary to hunt down every single escaped synth.

There are so many interesting possibilities, I could go on forever. Imagine if you could somehow stealth kill Desdemona and the Railroad suffers or becomes less concerned with casualties or empathy towards humans under their new leader Dr. Carrington.

In another life maybe…

Here comes the general?

I postponed watching the last episode to make this...

preston garvey is such an og bro, and yes for all the reasons you're thinking of but also because like, he literally led a whole group of people from Quincy to Jamaica Plain!! AND THEN ACROSS THE CHARLES RIVER TO LEXINGTON AND THEEN EVEN FURTHER UP NORTH TO CONCORD.

he was watching out for this group of people who had just been run out of their homes. he stayed with these refugees throughout every disastrous place they thought they'd be safe, every death, and just all that grieving; all while struggling with his own sense of purpose ("Everything I believed in had turned out to be a lie.") and feelings of being a failure, that led him to thinking he'd be better off dead :( plus, these people from Quincy were strangers to him at first. he didn't have to do all that, yet he took it upon himself to do so. because he's just built that way. he's too good for the damn wasteland. </3

and like even after all of that, he doesn't hang the Minuteman hat up. he keeps on going, pushing the boulder up the hill in hope of making the Commonwealth a better and safer place.

Ready at a minute's notice.

Loved @gardening--tools headcanon about Preston having a Minutemen tat so I gave him one here.

Minuteman X6-88!

(He won’t wear the hat. He refuses to wear the hat. He thinks the hat is stupid.)

Redoing this poll as I goofed by not including the followers of the apocalypse.

Sturges' Discovery

730 words, friendship hurt/comfort, Minutemen Ending

“Hey, uh, General? I need to ask you somethin’.”

Nate plugged the data he’d gotten from the blood test into the terminal to verify their suspicions, comparing the two DNA sequences carefully. It had been a little difficult to persuade Cade and Quinlan to help him, but when he stated he was “suspicious about an individual’s origins,” they came around, remembering the Brotherhood’s OWN experiences with that. It was technically the truth. They didn’t have to know that he had no intention of acting on that “suspicion,” just as he’d had no intention of ever killing the man he’d fallen in love with. He just had to hope they wouldn’t store the data, Lord knows what they’d do with it.

“Well… shit. They’re the same, aren’t they?” Sturges peered over his shoulder, gripping the wrench in his hands tightly.

“Yeah. Exactly the same. I’m sorry, Sturges.” Nate leaned back in his chair, sighing and running a hand through his black hair in need of a trim.

“What do I do now?” Sturges just kind of… stood there, at a loss. 

Nate rose to his feet, turning to face Sturges. “Whatever you want. No one else even has to know if you don’t want them to, buddy.”

Sturges angrily tossed the wrench to the ground, making a loud clattering sound. “My whole life is a lie, I don’t know what I want! Everything I thought I learned from my old man is borrowed memories… Where does the fake shit end and my own life begin? I’m not even a real person-“

Nate carefully placed a hand on either of the man’s broad shoulders. “Hey. I’m not putting up with this again. You’re as real as I am, what does it matter where you came from? You have thoughts, feelings, and dreams, and you’re the best damn mechanic in the whole Commonwealth. Without you we wouldn’t have stopped those bastards, would we? And I consider you a good friend. That’s pretty real.”

“But I-“

“Aht, no. I’ve been through this twice already from two different people. You’re a person, end of story.” Nate’s brand of pep-talk could be a little harsh sometimes. “Your name is Sturges, you are a mechanic, a Minuteman, and my friend. That’s real. You helped us destroy the Institute. That’s pretty damn real. You keep Sanctuary from falling to bits when I’m off screwing around somewhere. That’s real. I don’t care if you’re a synth, what your designation might’ve been. The others never have to know if you don’t want them to.”

Sturges processed for a moment, then met Nate’s eyes. Sometimes he was a little bit frightening to look at, piercing blue eyes and dark hair against pale skin like some kind of vampire. But there was a kindness, an accepting gesture behind his words, and that was what really mattered to him. 

Normally, he wasn’t a touchy type, especially not when covered in grease and dirt, but… he pulled the man into a hug.

“…Thank you, General. I needed to hear that.” He let go, looking rather ashamed of himself. 

Nate chuckled softly. “Not a problem, buddy. Any time you wanna talk about it and I’m around, you know what to do. I might be able to get Valentine to offer you counsel, but I don’t think Danse would want to talk about how ‘not human’ you both are.”

Sturges forced a laugh. “Ha, no. He’d be the last person I went to. Metal detective it is.”

“Wise choice.” Nate bent over to pick up the wrench, handing it back to Sturges, then pressed a few buttons on the terminal to close the data. 

“Y’know… maybe I’ll tell the others, some day… but not today. Nah… I think today I’m just gonna have a drink and worry about it later.” Sturges tucked the wrench into his belt. 

“Hey, good idea. I got some Gwinnett Pale from Goodneighbor in my house. Come on over and we can sit and chat about power armor or something to get your mind off things. Danse won’t mind, he’s tinkering with that X-01 suit right now… still don’t know where the hell he found it.”

“Best not to ask.” Sturges followed Nate out of the house and down the street.

Maybe this won’t be such a bad thing, after all… he’s in the right place with the right kind of friends.

Okay but we know Sturges went poking around in that data from the network scanner holotape, right? How else would he have found a back door into the Institute?

Do you think he found the list of missing synths, too?

And do you think he got a little too curious about one of them, and opened the file?

And do you think… he perhaps had an identity crisis?

If you use console commands to kill him, he drops a synth component. In Fallout Shelter Online, which is beta-level canon but still relevant to me, he has the Synth trait and is listed as a Gen 3 that does not know his origins… Like Danse before Blind Betrayal.

His old man taught him everything he knows…but he never had an old man. If his whole life is a lie… What now?

[mushroommans-cache]

I think they’d get along

My 4 favorite companions in the Commonwealth! Deacon will always be my #1, but Nick is a very close 2nd~

I've been working on this mini project for about 2 months now, I'm really glad it's completed! At least, I think it's done...I might go back and do more edits ^^;

Preston was the easiest to draw, while Nick was definitely the hardest! Here's the list of the reference photos I used:

Deacon Danse Nick Preston

I'm probably going to draw more New Vegas fanart next. But my followers on IG requested Bioshock first! And I have some Smiling Friends doodles to share soon as well :3
