I think Piper Wright Fallout 4 is one of those characters who's good in theory but not in practice. I was thinking about her as a character in relation to her setting and I genuinely think her archetype would be better suited to the NCR than it is to the Commonwealth.

Which I think comes down to how Bethesda handles their games, environment and attitude wise, as opposed to Black Isle and Obsidian. The West coast has basically recovered. New Vegas is a tourist attraction. The NCR are on a rapid tirade of imperialist expansion that's only achievable because they, as a nation, have recovered from the war and grown from it. If you compare Shady Sands in Fallout 1 to Diamond City in Fallout 4, its kind of funny. Shady Sands started out with decent houses made from dirt, with solid foundation and some of them having actual windows. The average settlement in Bethesda Fallout (like Diamond City or Megaton), meanwhile, are just shanty towns made from tin.

In the Commonwealth's case this is made even more insane by the fact that Fenway Park (where Diamond City is located) is surrounded by mostly intact houses that, with a bit of fixer-uppering, could be lived in relatively normally compared to the tin shacks of Diamond City. I think Megaton gets more of a pass because the Capital Wasteland got nuked to shit, but you get me.

Returning to Piper for a second, let's take a look at her character: she's a spunky, somewhat annoying character who's very invested in the freedom of the press and so forth. She's got a working printing press and everything, which is super impressive considering how run-down the rest of Diamond City is aside from the Valentine Detective Agency signs (seriously, where did they find the materials for those). She runs Publick Occurences solo with her sister, and it's all well and good. Ignoring the witch hunts she sends people on about synths.

And I get it. I think this specific gripe with Piper as a character comes from having played this game for the first time in 2024. The synths don't really hold up as an allegory for anything, and the entire story surrounding them is very "trying to be progressive in 2014". Which is fine, I think it is just a symptom of the era the game came out in, but still.

Piper's character, as a spunky yet annoying journalist who believes the people deserve to know what's going on, would be far better suited in a more developed location on the West coast -- specifically, Freeside or somewhere within the NCR.

I think Piper would suit the Followers of the Apocalypse, for example, serving as an informant to keep them in the know about what's going on between the Strip, the NCR and the regular Freesiders. Plus, having a funny, anarchist-themed newspaper you can receive in-game where she touts her hatred for the Securitron police force is a funny mental image. Equally, I think she'd suit living in Shady Sands -- right at the heart of the NCR's seediest political manouvres as the decisions are made. Imagine her as a journalist who frequently pushes back against the Mojave expansion, for example, and how the NCR is putting too many resources into a lost cause instead of more important things like healthcare or housing. That way, you could still keep her extreme hatred for the upper class in The Stands while making it make more sense within the setting.

Leading on from this, this made me realise how Bethesda also just aren't very deliberate with how they utilise history in their games. Which makes sense, to a certain extent, given how destroyed absolutely everything on the East coast is. But still. It's a little stupid.

The core conflict of New Vegas -- the Legion vs the NCR -- is actually a really deep-cut history reference at its core. The NCR is the Bear, the Legion is the Bull. In mid-19th century California, people watched bears and bulls fight for fun.

There are other, better examples, I'm sure. But I'm British and this is my personal favourite example, so this is what I'm using. History plays such an important part of New Vegas' themes and messaging -- it's a story about how, when, and why humanity needs to move on from the past and look towards the future.

Bethesda Fallout, by comparison, will frequently and shallowly tout "nukes bad" while letting Liberty Prime lob them at Super Mutants, or encouraging players to nuke each other's houses in Fallout 76.

Piper exists partially as a nod to the Boston Herald, and how it's one of the longest-running/most influential newspapers in America. A lot of publishing has its roots within Boston, and I think it's an interesting reference to take.

And I think this is a part of Fallout that Bethesda does get -- a lot of what people do in the post-war world is inspired by what came before. Caesar's Legion and its ideologies come from Edward Sallow not understanding basic Roman history properly and using it to fuel his agenda because it looks cool. The Minutemen are exactly that. The New California Republic are the new US government, right down to the borderline facist intentions and ideologies. I could go on.

And this comes from Fallout being a series about the cyclical nature of violence. "War never changes, but men do through the roads they walk" is the story here. War cannot change if men do not change, because war exists in an endless cycle of violence that can only be broken if man chooses to break it. And they've failed at it so far, right?

And this is where I go back to Piper. Her nod to history isn't as intentional as anything in New Vegas, and I feel like she would have been better served as a character if she was in New Vegas instead. Because her entire character would make more sense if she was living in the more developed and rebuilt towns of the West coast as opposed to a dilapidated shanty town on the East.

I have more thoughts about this but tl;dr Bethesda should really put more effort into making sure their history references and homages make sense to the setting contextually, in the same way that New Vegas does. That game was developed in 18 months and still has far more care put into its historical references than Fallout 4 does. And I love Fallout 4.

fem sole(reader) x piper

i wrote this at about 2am before promptly falling tf asleep, unedited i’m so sorry. Enjoy lesbians <3

i can imagine piper trying to revise some notes on a night of rest at camp. sitting quietly with her knees up and her journal in her lap. she wrote and scribbled away in the firelight, focused in on her story.

her passion always kind of turned you on. there’s just a fire in her that has a tingle run through you and you can’t help but get a little wet. watching her run her mouth, the way her nose scrunches up and her pointed looks. she’s so witty too, her smartass comebacks always put a grin on your face.

so here you are, watching the way her eyes glimmer and flit across the page in the firelight. the furrow in her brows as she focuses, warm light brushing against the little scars and wrinkles that ridge Piper’s face. she has got to be the most beautiful woman alive right now. you’re almost positive about that. and the passion that drives her, that fuels you every day, her effort to change things is the most beautiful part. just watching her write and edit fills you with pride…and lust.

like i said, her passion turns you on.

so here she is, the wasteland’s strongest most beautiful reporter, trying to work. and here you are, her horrible, horrible girlfriend about to distract her. You move to crawl forward slowly, but it all goes unnoticed by the brunette. she hardly reacts when you begin to part her legs to put yourself between them, sitting up on your elbows. truly she gets a slight huff and a pout at the interruption. “Blue…can you just let me finish this first? i just wanna get these notes revised while i actually have the time.” her brow furrows at you and her pout turns to a frown when you simply press more against her thighs to keep them apart.

“Just do your thing Pipes, don’t mind me. i don’t want to interrupt your creative flow…”you giggle as you begin to tug gently at her buttons and zipper, trying to get into her pants like picking a lock. Pipers frown fades slightly as she lifts and helps you get her pants down by her ankles, barely hanging off of one foot as you yank her thigh up onto your shoulder and begin licking at her cunt. Her hands quickly gripped onto you, but you swatted them away each time she tried. with you slurping and lapping at her, piper could hardly focus but she attempted to go back to her journal. she resumed the occasional scribble and rewrite of something, but mostly her eyes found themselves on you. the way you slip your fingers into her as your eyes meet made Piper shiver. when you noticed she wasn’t working again, you pulled away and let your fingers drag slowly out of the warm grasp of her walls. a quiet curse slips from her lips as she glares at you.

disregarding the development in attitude, you simply made your way to sit and pull Piper to sit in your lap between your legs, her back pressing into your chest. once she was situated and in place, you hooked your legs over hers so she couldn’t move them much. she looked over her shoulder at you pleadingly as your fingers teased and traces over the delicate skin just above where she wanted you.

“come on Pipes, just finish this” you order playfully, pulling her notebook back into her hands and letting her situate herself again. finally settled and squirming, Piper began to write again. as she worked , your fingers ran tauntingly up and down her slit, flicking at her clit to hear a soft gasp. when she began getting a little restless, clicking her pen loudly when not in use, that’s when you plunged your fingers deep into her core and began a steady and deep pace. curling your fingers and pressing with your wrist, Pipers body squirms in pleasure as you work her up.

“b-blue please-“

“shhhh no it’s okay my love, you got this.” you coo sweetly in her ear, slowing your pace with your fingers to a much gentler rhythm. Piper keens at the praise and tries to focus with the help of softer stimulation.

“there you go darling, you’re almost finished aren’t you? oh you’re so close baby, doing so well.” you can feel her cunt tighten and flutter around your fingers at those words. she whines a little and nods her head frantically before looking back at you, a pout on her lips. you watch her eyes flicker to your lips, lingering before she returns her pleading gaze to your eyes. grinning you lean down and place a rather sloppy kiss onto her, eagerly slipping your tongue into her mouth as she moaned and moved slightly against your fingers. Once again your pace picked up as you thrust and curled your fingers inside of her. grinding your palm on pipers clit started to drive her over the edge. she pulled back from the kiss panting heavily, soft whines and noises slip from her as she breathes deeply. the way her body squirms and tightens means you’ve got her where you want her, so you curl your fingers just deeply enough after a particularly hard thrust and Piper’s rope comes undone. her eyes are squeezed shut as she almost squeals, a high sound escaping her as she feels herself tense then release.

Her body slumps against you as she regains her breath. her eyes crack open at the sound of you licking her slick off of your fingers, winking when you catch her eye directly. she scrunches up her face again and looks away flustered. Somehow she still can’t get over the slight embarrassment she gets whenever you revere her, treat her so well and fuck her so wildly. it’s all so much and it’s nothing she’s ever had before.

Fallout 4 be like:

"I wonder where my companion is?"

*picks up junk*

"Ah, found them."
