Roleplaying a Synth in Fallout 4

    Yeah I took the ring  

    So far the subject of Synths hasn't come up, I have only just escorted Preston back to Sanctuary Hills. But, the conversation with the old woman, the seer, was quite interesting. I played him sceptical and slightly disbelieving until she mentions Shaun at which point his primary programming becomes more receptive and he lapped up her words.

    I think I might restart my Automatron character (I feel like doing that anyway know that I know more about which perks influence the robot crafting) and actually apply the theory that I've created 

    And since I find Danse's situation so interesting I might just have the character looking down on Synths as no different from the machines she creates.

    I think its because he or she is trying to force back tears, focused on finding their spouse's last legacy. There will be time to grieve after they've gotten their son back. And then.....

    I see your point but grief is about not being able to let go, the devastating sense of loss and then eventually the need for closure. I understand the priority shift and the need to look for the kid, but not an almost total acceptance immediately.

    Or how you can come back to the vault months later after cryo has failed and your wife is still there, slowly rotting

    Damn Minutemen. I meant to go straight to Diamond City after rescuing them but got distracted by the prospect of a Bobblehead for the Tenpines Bluff mission. Got may ass served up in that factory thing there. Strangely, I have developed a high luck skill and am using related perks like better crits. Can't quite see how this fits with a Synth but still... Loving it so far dude!

    I managed to resist the lure of that bobblehead for a short while until I needed the experience from the quest to level up.

    Well despite that I'm seriously enjoying my no longer fully sane shotgun wielding Synth.

    Yes, shotties for me too! Synths think alike it seems. Say that fast, I dare ya.

    This discussion kept reminding me of something, but I couldn't place it. I think the idea of being unaware of what memories are "yours" and which are given is explored in the movie "Memento." As you say in Option 2 "perhaps you notice a discrepancy between your own memories and the records that you come across throughout the wasteland."

    For those familiar - I'm specifically thinking about the Sammy Jankis character/plot line and whether he's a real person from Leonard's past or a constructed memory to make him feel ok about his condition. For this unfamiliar - SEE IT!

    Anyway - I really enjoyed the read Fool! 

    Good work.

    Huh never heard of that movie before, that might be because I was 4 or 5 when it came out.

    Glad you enjoyed it, has it given you any ideas for future characters?
