I’m having feels about Chrys and Arthur teasing each other about their fashion choices... except they’re old and gray and she’s still wearing the jacket Butch gave her and he’s still wearing the battlecoat

Oh yeah Sniper mom keeps finding legendary Fat Mans (Fat Men? ) out in the Commonwealth... She only cares about the bowling ball one tho

Isn't there a line in the game where Danse says he likes bluegrass music? Not that his other good qualities didn't make Katrina attracted to him But the moment he says that She doesn't fall She swan dives

I'm never sure whether I like James (LW's dad) or not. On the one hand he tries to do what he thinks is best for his child and the Wasteland but on the other hand he is oblivious enough to how messed up 101 is under the Overseer and decides to abandon his child in a psychotic mess...

So Nate got the Robot Workbench

Nate: Since I got the design for this thing and have destroyed enough rogue robots to collect bits and pieces to build my own, I will use this workbench to make personality deficient helpers for the Brotherhood and myself.

Chrys: Isn’t that what the Institute tried doing with the synths?

Nate: Shut up Chrys. I will make a robot with the sole purpose of duck taping your mouth shut.

Chrys: *sigh* Fine. So what does Automaton-729 do?

Nate: That would by my mobile sentry bot which doubles as a pack mule. And you will address it as BOB.

Chrys: You want absolutely no personal attachment to this robot... yet you named it Bob?

Nate: Perfect acronym for Beast Of Burden. Or Bot Of Burden... either one.

Chrys: And here I thought I couldn’t lose anymore faith in you.

I played the Human Error quest for the first time last night and (other than being amazed that I hadn’t met the greatness that is Honest Dan after all this time) became really frustrated because of one person in particular...

And that person is FREAKING DANSE!!

So I played as Nate (therefore poor Amelia wasn’t gonna be making it out of this) BUT when I confronted Chambers and accepted her deal, Danse got mad! (no affinity change though, just unhappy dialogue) SO I reloaded and rejected her deal and Danse kept his mouth shut but a little green box saying “Danse disliked that” appeared in the corner. Now I don’t know what was supposed to happen here but clearly it’s a lose-lose situation (in terms of character consistency) with a pre Blind Betrayal Danse here because a) Chambers’ tests and false positives are inhumane/unethical (hence Danse voices displeasure about them) and b) the man shouldn’t support the existence of a synth (hence his dislike at letting Amelia live). Not sure what Beth*sda was thinking when they wrote the dialogue for him here (or if they were thinking at all) but damn couldn’t they have put more rational thought into this?

Maybe it’s my punishment for killing Honest Dan (you’ll live next time dude. I swear!!)

Pretty sure the night Katrina and Chrys get back from Far Harbor, Chrys finds Arthur and talks his ear off about how terrible Vim is and that something as atrocious as Captain's Blend exists ("I mean you want an abomination!? That, good sir, is an abomination of nature, science, and soda!") and she just does not shut up until he tells her it's 2 in the morning.
