God do you ever think about how they call Shaun "Father" because he is the source of the DNA for the synths
Do you ever think about the fact that he calls you "Mother" or "Father" not because of any emotional connection or affection he feels for you, not because those words truly have meaning to him, but as a descriptor, because he sees you the same way, as a source of DNA
What still pisses me off abt fallout 4 is how, in simple text, it is a doomed narrative haunted by both your dead spouse and the child you're tearing the wasteland apart to find. You walk through the park you conceived Shawn in and find children's comic books he would have liked. You go to places you graduated, or were set to give a speech at. You scavenge from the store you probably bought your baby food from. Your home is literally torn asunder and unrecognizable but you recognize it. You pass houses you might have had friends at. Dealerships you might have gotten your car from. The robotics store you got Codsworth from, the only other person who knows what you mean and who you're talking about when you go "I used to take my partner here for dinner," "I had photos of Shawn in this child's swing," "This was the first road I drove on when I got my license."
Like. How fucking haunting. You're the ghost. You're not the one who survived. You died and came back, and to the ones who've grown up here, you're Wrong. You don't act like anyone they've met before. And they don't seem to notice all the things that are incorrect. Everything you are is Wrong. You're a puzzle piece removed and shoved back into it once it was chopped up and sewn back together, and you don't fit. But you're there. Your partner is not with you. They died when you didn't. And your baby, probably one of the last babies before the War, is somewhere out there.
And it's genuinely fucking haunting but the game just does not portray that feeling of wrongness and desperation.
LIKE I KNOW THAT THIS TAKE IS NOT ORIGINAL BUT THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT THE MORE BONE CHILLING IT IS. THE SOLE SURVIVOR IS LITERALLY A PHANTOM. ITS LIKE HAVING A GHOST IN THE HOUSE THAT REMEMBERS WHEN CANDLES WERE THE ONLY LIGHT SO IT FUCKS UP THE ELECTRICITY AND LIGHTS THE CANDLES. BUT IN REVERSE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU USE CANDLES? USE THE LIGHT SWITCH, I JUST BUILT A BUNCH OF BULBS AND HOOKED UP A GENERATOR.
you can't be saying that White Baby.
yes man antics based on:
i dont actually talk about isaac, my lone wanderer, at all. i think i have a nebulous concept for my courier, a rather indepth concept for my sole survivor. for my lw it was like one full playthrough and done. anyways he escaped that vault at like 16 instead of 18 and began transitioning afterwards, changing his name to isaac due to biblical ties and severe daddy issues. hes probably the least idealist of all the main characters, as well as the most violent.
ultimately, what's the fate of your lone wanderer?
they die in the purifier
they become another game protag (courier, etc)
they stay in somewhere in DC (or in a settlement. e.g: Rivet City, Megaton, etc)
they survive the purifier, but die some other way later on
they disappear after activating the purifier
ghoulfication!?
other (in tags!)
a mix of two or more of these
unsure....
please rbg and share in tags despite voting! cus im so curious <3
It’s kind of ironic that the Lone Wanderer’s title is - well - the Lone Wanderer, because there are things that suggest they struggle with loneliness.
By the end of the game, they end up without a family and evicted from their own vault, and years later Moira says this about them: ‘Just about everyone in the Capital Wasteland has a story about the Lone Wanderer, even though precious few ever really knew him.’
The other Fallout protagonists went on to create villages and homes and develop meaningful relationships, while the Lone Wanderer remains true to him namesake. And considering his abandonment issues and want to friends, that’s pretty sad.
Both Fallout 4 and Fallout (Amazon) open with a slice of pre-war well-off suburbia at the moment of the great war before jumping forward 200 years, but it's frankly astounding how much better the show executed it thematically. The clear undercurrent of tension as the guest turns off the news to try and block out the degenerating political situation. The viewpoint character being an actor rewarded for his sense of principles with a hollywood blacklist, reduced to performing rope tricks at a children's birthday party, where all the adults are whispering to each other about how they hate him. The utter pandemonium as the bombs drop, well-dressed genteel neighbors who were making "polite" chit chat just moments ago (at the expense of the accused communist) punching each other's lights out over limited space in the nearest fallout shelter. It's like if the opening to Fallout 4 was set when it was in pursuit of a specific rhetorical point, instead of. not doing anything remotely like that at all
Oh, yeah. I want to show small fragments of my fallout illustrations for a fan book. I hope to be able to show them in full soon 👀
