remembering when fallout 4 came out and a lot of people were like "it's bullshit that my character has to be in a straight marriage to start with, I'm gay" whereas my takeaway was "this straight marriage and suburban home are a good start, but they should feel way more like a fucking prison"

my vision of Fallout 4 If It Was Good: the game directly references nick and nora's appearance parameters in order to determine which microaggressions the Vault-Tec representative drops when he talks to you

if you play as a dude there should be an entire sidequest where preston garvey tries to explain why it's bad to murder civilians (if your intelligence is too high, he fails, because you're too good at coming up with a philosophical framework that justifies war crimes). if you play as a woman then putting on pants for the first time should have the same gameplay effect as taking buffout

Sole, holding their pipboy up to their ear like a phone: hello?

Their Companion: what...are you doing

Sole, passing the pipboy to them: it's for you

Nick, making eye contact with Sole who's trying very hard to control their laughter: I told you never to call this number again

also if you say anything about it they'll be like omg just let people enjoy things!!!!!! like sure ok yeah. but this character does not exist in a vacuum, they exist in a piece of media that is making political commentary, commentary that you are pretending doesn't exist by blorbofying him. it's still weird
