    Cheers Fallout Night! To be honest, I hadn't really considered much in the way of backstory. Fallout 4's rather rail-roaded intro and story make me forget about all that stuff and it's focus on gameplay. I just saw the Anarchist as a pyromaniac with psychopathic tendencies, who just loved blowing stuff up. The Charisma fit in because I was partly inspired by V and the Joker - both could be considered charismatic as well as slightly crazy (though more than slightly in Joker's case).

    Thanks! I do agree that with Fallout 4's set backstory it does make it hard to form your own backstory of your character. But i still try, with rather limited results.

    A possible backstory can be him/her going "slightly" crazy after seeing the death of his/her spouse in the vault and getting the child stolen. Seeing the Commoneealth in its current state also attributes to the trauma

    Yeah I have to concur with all of these story observations. I'm working on a build right now and my first instinct is "yeah he goes crazy bc of his wife and the wasteland..." This story opening just doesn't allow for much backstory variance imo. But I think I've found a unique-ish angle

    I guess that's the new "got caught crossing the border" :D

    Nice job Raid! Good job on synergy with the companions and explosive weapons. I feel like Strong can also be strong chhoice for this build (see what I did there). He can charge enemies in melee and have them focus on himself while you destroy everyone with the SMG. The perk is useless for this build, but the good thing is that you won't bother with maxing his affinity :D

    What angle?

    Cool, I was wondering if we'd see an explosive-focused build. I'm not really into using power armour for some reason, so I'm always intrigued by builds that take a different approach, and this one looks like a whole lot of fun.

    Think I might be giving this a go...

    I just mean coming up with a sort of original backstory...
