Danse in Context

Mostly about Paladin Danse because, Danse is my favorite relationship in Fallout 4. A little about the other companions.

I just want to start a flame in your heart~ 🔥🧡🔥

"I wish Maxson had sent someone else." but what if he would, and the whole quest would be abt finding Danse first.

I'm gonna cry all over again!

There are 3 types of Fallout players.

Oh my sweet babygirl husband let me protect and cherish you.

I know he has some strong opinions but poor man was raised by a cult and I can make him better.

What the hell did you think I hoarded all the RadAway for, bitch?!

What the sole survivor is like canonically btw

I will never get tired of Danse randomly saying the most romantic things during the most violent moments in the game.

[danse-in-context]

Agreed. And he is so helpful calling out what I need to know so I don't die in battle. Reminds me to reload; "ammo running low!" Reminds me to take cover; "Don't just stand there." Reminds head shots are best; "Aim for the weak spots!"

On the chance that Barb is in fact alive and will be reunited with Cooper can you imagine these four meeting up

I am waiting for Maximus and Lucy to re-unite.

Paladin Danse

Losing my shit about Hancock a little bit. He's the second smartest companion in the game, just behind Nick in intelligence, and his "ride of choice" is mentats, because they make him "feel like an intellectual." Man decided to base his persona off someone building what, to the propagandized US history books probably read as someone building a society either out of nothing or the rebels, freedom seekers, refugees, pioneers of society. And here he's got a little town at the end of the apocalypse in the middle of a down-and-out settlement of burnouts, addicts, refugees, runaways.

Fucker's burning the candle at every end possible and then some trying to keep things running. Inventing some kind of safe haven. Trying to avoid perpetuating his family's mistakes—his brother's mistakes—by going the opposite direction. The top floor of his mayoral building is reserved for folks with nowhere to go or who need to crash, not a fancy domicile or office. Hell, his office has couches instead of desks. He's not turning folks away; he's welcoming the freaks, not demonizing any kind of substance use, being openly opposed to the Institute instead of ignoring or denying it exists while still being fairly tolerant of synths, even if he's not jumping onto the Railroad train. Heck, guy's got a Join the Railroad holotape in his office, and he's cultivated enough of an open-minded culture that you can find multiple others around town.

He's got some kind of haunted survivor guilt and gifted kid burnout/obligations (that wunderkind/prodigy feeling of being, so to speak, burdened with glorious purpose). He tried to kill himself and ended up with the possibility of immortality and possibly madness; he pushes himself like he's got an imminent death sentence hanging overhead. He's only been mayor a few years. He's scrambling to figure out how to run things and in the middle of that realizes he might be losing sight of what drives him in the first place. He's running from himself and running towards the person he's convinced he needs to be. He's ditched everything about himself and his family down to the dermis. He's the second person you meet and he kills a member of the community for threatening, depending on your interpretation, either a stranger or his own position. (As opposed to exiling a community member for writing unflattering articles about him and his administration.)

Dunno where I'm going with this but man what the fuck.

Hancock gives me Edward Collin vibes. Everything already said above. Plus he wants to find a way to make the Survivor a ghoul to be together long term.

Paladin Danse and the cutest ever Sole Survivor, Elle. Commissioned by @kouseki! ★

[shadowgale96]

Fallout confession time. Ever since I found out that Danse likes those fancy lads snack cakes, I always save them. I'll loot them and store them until I can make a room for danse and put them in there for him. I do this every playthrough. I'm so used to doing this in Fallout 4 it's like second nature.

The traumatized tin can likes fancy snack cakes, then fancy snack cakes he will have.

Dramatic Danse

Beautiful. Reminds me of his grief during blind betrayal.

Danse in Context #07

Paladin Danse is a dog person. Here's my evidence.

In Danse's quarters on the Prydwen, there are 3 cans of dog food, a dog bowl, and bloatfly meat in the dog bowl.

Surely he put this all there for Dogmeat.

When replacing Dogmeat with Paladin Danse as companion, he says: "Don't worry boy. I'll make sure this soldier comes home alive."

So much affection in this line.

He also says:

"I think Dogmeat's been hit badly. You should see to him."
