thinking abt that bald bich from fallout 4 again.....
#specifically deacon#ok but he'd be so much better as a character if they didnt make him sympathetic bc Sad Man Dead Wife#like his whole thing was 'ohhh i was a bigot and murdered someone bc of my bigotry but also my wife dead so like :(' is just#so predictable. so boring. E x pe cted.#but itd be so much better if like...instead of his wife turning out to be a synth (the ppl he was bigoted Against)#and like being murdered by the anti synth gang he used to be apart of which turns him on th path of Good Pro Synth bc sad man dead wife#just never happened. like YES he joined an antisynth gang and YES he killed a man in cold blood bc he thought he was a synth. and thats it#but itd be even better if the man turned out to be a synth. they saw the wires n sparks and the gang was stoked abt it and deacon was just#disturbed#bc like. the screams sounded real. when the synth begged for his life it sounded Real. the fear was genuine and deacon Felt It#and it haunted him#he ditches the gang and changes his name and appearance to stay safe.#probably ends up protecting a few people he suspects to be synths bc god knows they need it.#like obv that last part is a slow process bc hes still skeptical of synths frm a general standpoint his bigotry doesnt Disappear Immediately#but he eventually catches wind of The Railroad and joins them (similar to how the sole survivor discovers them)#and he ends up working for them kind of as a way to sorta. try and selfishly block out the trauma surrounding the whole Synth Murder Thing.#but also to actually help the people he used to hate.#and THATS so much better than like 'i murdered someone in cold blood but also my wife dead' bc it feels cheap#like the game is telling you to forgive him and think hes good bc his wife was fridged#when its so much better when he like. just used to be a fucking evil bigot. bc like#yeah hes better now hes a good person Now but like. do you rlly wanna forgive him? do you rlly wanna hang around this guy who like#Litcherally murdered an innocent person? not even in self defence?#like it leaves u conflicted bc yeah hes saved PLENTY more lives than the one life he took but thats still One Life.#its just so cool and thats why deacon had the potential to be such an awesome character but bethesda is boring#and just made him have a dead wife instead#frank.txt
