#fo4 ideas

[museofzero]

This has been sitting in my drafts for a while, so I’m just going to post it, so enjoy this while I work on other things.

Idea

Imagine the sole survivor opening up a radio station of their own, and like the radio station is just like a podcast but even more chaotic.

Like they’ll talk about almost anything and answer questions sent in. They’ll have the companions come on air too. Sole and the companions will get into random squabbling too, but they don’t mean it in a hurtful way.

Like they’ll talk about pre-war life (not only as means to cope but to remember funny memories and such). They’ll talk about serious issues and list off ways to help or organizations that are still up and running helping people, or they’ll get on Air with the companions and talk about memories or they’ll find ghoulified friends of theirs and talk about their lives.

Like they’ll make joking comments at their friends, and like all I can imagine is this happening.

Ask : what is it like living with synths?

SS : well, I’d have to say I never expected to be working with a walking, talking toaster before.

Nick loudly from the background : you know, I remember you telling me about the time when you were younger, when you thought you could fl—

SS : ANYWAY FOLKS SEE YOU NEXT TIME

Or even better, imagine if Sole were to allow the companions to take over the radio station while they had to do something or out working, like could you imagine the companions telling some embarrassing story about Sole, and like Sole comes back and just does the same to them.

Hancock : [Telling some embarrassing story about SS]

SS walking into the room : You know, I remember this one time in sanctuary, you came to me screaming about how I needed to “kill it with fire”, and being all scared, saying how there was a “monster” in one of the houses, turns out. It was just a radroach. A.singular.rad.roach.

Just some ideas for when certain companions get on Air with Sole

[ Nick Valentine ]

When Nick gets on Air with sole, it becomes a whole crime show

They go through case files while on Air together and will read off the cases and notes the have on the person

Sometimes they’ll get calls from people who have tips or possible clues, very helpful most of the time

It gets chaotic sometimes, especially when they go over minor files that spiral into bigger cases, or when the answer is so obvious and they figure it out immediately

Other than cases, they do theories about pre-was cases

They get a lot of calls about different things, ranging from, case questions to silly questions.

Normally when Nick’s on Air it’s (normally) a 24/7 radio, since he doesn’t sleep. He’ll sometimes take over for Sole so they can sleep. Although sometimes he’ll stop the station got the night if he has something to do.

[ John Hancock ]

When Hancock gets on Air it’s chaotic as fuck but also calm.

Why?

Because this is Hancock we’re talking about. He’ll recount some stories from adventures he’s had with Sole, by himself or other people.

Gets really into stories Sole tells

He can be pretty calm sometimes, but most of the time he and sole will just relax and exchange stories and do stupid voices for people in the stories

Lots of motivation speeches, and uplifting stuff from time to time.

Jokes

Lots of jokes

Lots and lots of horrible jokes

Will sometimes get out comics and will read them together to the audience so everyone can enjoy comic books and regular books, will mention the silver shroud and adventures of the shroud.

[ Deacon ]

Oh god it’s even more chaotic than with Hancock

So,,so,, so many stories

You can’t even tell if he’s telling the truth or not about the stories

Probably the best time for children to tune in, so many silly but action packed stories

Sole will spill so many stories from their childhood during this time, back when they lived with their family and so many stories about their highschool years

Will definitely do silly, dramatic and over the top voices for the people he plays in the stories

Both practically in a fit of hysterical laughter on the floor half the time, oh god they laugh so much.

With both take turns trading off stories

If the railroad tunes in they can find hidden messages in their stories to help them find where the next safe house is

hi i got five hours of sleep last night which was still very good but i cant stop thinking about coursers and synths

like, Imagine a courser fucking up a Relay?? Really badly? Like they try to take a rogue synth back to the institute, and they mess up and accidentally go to the middle of the ocean?

could they get stuck in things? could a courser accidentally Relay into a wall or something, or just get stuck half in the ground?

is there a cool-down on Relays? Can you only do it like, once every few minutes? or is it not? because I like the idea of two coursers fighting but they just keep Relaying to random places around the area. Like, one of them shoots, and the other just Relays away and appears right behind the other? But they only have time to maybe hit them once before the first one Relays away to higher ground or something?

and could you accidentally get caught in a Relay? Like, could you be standing near a courser and they Relay away, could you just have your arm or something be taken with them? or do they have to choose to let you go with them or something? do they need to be touching, or is it just by proximity or something?

I actually wanna figure out answers to all this stuff now... It could be kinda interesting, thinking of all the rules and stuff of Relays.

Idea

Beast Tamer SoSu

This is long and random but bare with me here

Sole survivor who is simply known as “The beast tamer” and they can tame pretty much any animal. Like they have a baby deathclaw with them at the time and it’s an albino and it will lay in their lap or curled up beside them all protective like because they are basically the mother to the deathclaw and all the animals they tame they treat like their own children. Like they’re known for providing settlements with protection such as pacified mirlurks if they live by the ocean, or mutant hounds to patrol the boarders.

The first time the companions meet the sole survivor aka “The Beast Tamer” they have their baby albino Deathclaw curled up beside them and a Mutant hound curled up behind them. They also have some regular junk-yard dogs with them, and some wolves from far-harbor too, possibly even a baby gatorclaw egg? Oh and we can’t forgot a couple of cats in the general area. Maybe even some birds? Like the sole survivor is just humming some lullaby to the Deathclaw and they’re just like “oh hello. What can I do for you?” All calm like they’re not surrounded by a bunch of dangerous animals.

Like I can imagine a Full grown deathclaw walking up behind them and acting like a big baby wanting attention and 10/10 the sole survivor would let Deacon name one of the deathclaw hatchlings Fluffy.

I can also see the BoS trying to recruit them because they could get even more powerful allies on their side. Even if they were abominations, however due to that notion the sole survivor wouldn’t side with them because that would mean the BoS would wipe out their animal friends.

And now, for a couple companions and what I think kind of animal they would get from the sole survivor.

Nick - Dogmeat or a Junk-yard dog, dogmeat would probably be his first pick and since he already knows dogmeat. But who wouldn’t want two dogs who can kick ass and help you track down suspects?

Hancock - he would probably try and convince sole he was responsible enough to look after some type of Claw’ but would end up with a super mutant hound instead and would end up loving it. The hound would be super loving too, of its new owner once its gotten use to them, and sole has taught Hancock the proper care. Or maybe even a snake if they managed to survive, ((just imagine Hancock carrying around this tiny little garder snake in his hand.))

Deacon - no secret he would want to keep the Claw’ he named fluffy but Desdemona would probably say no, but deacon would keep it anyway. Probably sneak out to meet Sole so the Claw’ and it’s mom got use to Deacon and knew it could trust Deacon with its child.

X6 - He would probably get some cats, he seems more like a cat person and the cats would definitely fit him. They’d probably learn to perch onto his shoulder and do commands (somehow this man has extreme patients) that would get the cat to do certain small tasks.

Preston - He’d probably be very hesitant about letting the animals into the settlements at first but after seeing how the kids like to the play with the dogs ((who are very gentle with the kids)) he’ll let them slide. Though personally I do think he’d probably like cats much like X6 does. But still loves to play with the Junk-yard dogs.

Maccready - absolutely not, he would be terrified out of his mind when he saw Duncan petting some Deathclaw sole had tamed. Oh god he wouldn’t want anything to do with them at first, but I think in the end he’d get a bird. Seems fitting for a sniper a birds eye view if you will. Maybe a crow or a raven, or a red-tailed hawk if they still survived. ((Bonus ; almost had a heart attack when he finds sole trying to teach Duncan how to tame the animals like Deathclaws))

Piper - some kind of marmot if they survived and it would probably be a Ferret let’s be real here. Nat would love it to death and much like Duncan might get caught taking some lessons from sole though Piper might be a little more forgiving if she got a five hour interview with sole.

Wholesome Idea

Sole managed to find some intact earbuds/headphones and is able to wire them up so it’s like an Aux cord too and hooks it up to their pip boy and will hand their current companion like the intact pair of earbuds/headphones while they have their own in, and they can just kind of relax. 

Like I can honestly see Sole handing Hancock headphones and just playing some more prewar tunes that they record from the past on holotapes, and for once he’s not all drugged up, and are in a safe location. Like, I can just imagine how much of a stress reliever that can be??

Like just sitting down in some pre-war bed and just being able to relax and listen to the music. Or with Nick they just hand over headphones and he just puts the on (albeit a little confused) after a long day of running from place to place solving cases and searching for the tapes and repairing circuit boards, wires and patching up bullet wounds. 

The two just find a nice place to rest and listen to classical music and swing (electro too) music uninterrupted.

Bonus

Sole just has some of that good pop, rock,metal and very very upbeat loud music, along with diamond city radio and it’s just dead silent for a little after some more calm tunes than suddenly all that fills their ears is 

“URANIUM FEVERRRR—.” 

Or even better 

“GOT MUD ON YOUR FACE BIG DISGRACE-” 

And both just getting the absolute shit scared out of them because they were about to drift off into sleep.

i wanna draw MacCready.

just standing, hips lopsided, head also lopsided, S curve, bullets stripe still on his thigh, without any pants and his hands have to tug his shirt down to cover up his groin 

Nick, nick’s hands on MacCready’s body, MacCready’s hands inside Nick’s neck, or kissing (or both?)

SS+all companions, all in the silver shroud costume, with lil different designs on everyone, like a movie poster or something.
