Kellogg did nothing wrong
>>316663542
ok thanks for sharing m8
He killed my wife
Did he really need to kill my spouse though?
>Shoots mom because "hurr no worse feefees than losing a child."
>keeps Dad alive to wake up from cryo with a dead wife and missing son
He was poorly written at best
>>316663607
>>316663608
It was her fault for resisting
>>316663542
I hated how the game tried to make me feel sympathetic for him by showing he had a hard life, as if that excuse him killing my wife and stealing my son.
>>316663750
>"Okay, here. Have my baby, strange people"
kek
>>316663542
So, how old is Kellog when you find him? 78-80+?
HATE CEREAL
>>316663738
>WE NEED A HUMAN THAT HASN'T BEEN EXPOSED TO RADIATION
>A mother and son in a tube is a perfect 2 for one, hell even the father is alive making it three possible subjects
>I'm gonna take the baby and kill the mother who barely has any strength after spending over 100 years in cryo sleep, and leave the dad as a "spare"
It's beyond fucking stupid
>>316663850
It was kind of cool learning that the man who killed my wife then lovingly raised my son until the age of 10.
>kills your spouse for no reason
>MUH HARD LIFE
yeah, no, you're a cunt
>>316663927
Probably older but they say he had prolonged life somehow I don't remember.

it reads like a bad harry potter fanfic where voldemort goes on to raise harry
it's fucking stupid
>>316663909
She saw that he had a gun pointed at her. What's better losing a child or losing a child and dying?
>>316664015
I don't know, that seems Oscar worthy for Bethesda.
>>316663927
Over a hundred, since he was a kid during the founding of the NCR. Institute cybernetics kept him goin
>>316664240
>putting your own life ahead of your child's
>not even bothering trying to save your kid
and this is why you'll never be a parent
>>316664048
>flashback from 50-60 years ago
>radio mentions Piper
>>316664240
I'm glad you'll never reproduce
>>316664375
She knew she would die if she tried to keep the child. It's minimizing losses at that point.
>>316664410
>Only one person is allowed to be named Piper ever
>>316664015
All the Vault Dwellers were alive, I don't get why the Institute didn't just take them all.
Also Shaun literally just lets you out of cryo-sleep because "I wanted to see what would happen"
like what the fuck
>>316663850
That's the dindu craze sweeping the US.
Normies and progressives eat that shit up.
>>316664473
I'm sorry you're not a rational decision maker.
>>316664410
This, what the fuck was that? The stuttering guy is only like 20. Like, what the fuck?
>>316664561
>I wanted to see what would happen
>I blew his brains out in less than five fucking seconds after that
>>316664541
she still tried her best to save her kid regardless of the consequences. as 99% of parents would do
>>316664654
'oh welp better let strangers take my baby without even trying to save them'
and this is why you'll make a fucking terrible parent
How can is he still alive when your son is already old?
>>316664410
This is funny to me because I genuinely can't tell whether the kid was actually Shaun or synth Shaun. The plot is convoluted in such a dumb way.
>>316664698
>99% of people would do this so it's objectively correct
>better have someone kill me when i can avoid it
>>316664015
I am somewhat disappointed that the main quest line is built on this retarded fridge logic. This is what happens when you give the protagonist a developed background in RPGs. The writers might think it's great, but the implementation is terrible.
>>316664898
>99% of people would do this so it's objectively correct
yeah if you don't want to be a fucking shit parent, it IS the objectively correct choice
i pray you don't breed, you'd be a selfish neglectful father
>>316664898
>better to let strangers take my child because i'm too much of a fucking pussy to try to stop them
grow some balls
actually, don't, that way you won't have kids
>>316663738
Weird, he killed the husband in my game. So deep.
>>316663542
Anyone think this game;s story works better if you play as the woman?
>>316665198
It's better for lesbian romance with Piper.
>>316665198
No, but I think Courtenay Taylor does better voice work than Brian T Delaney
>>316665198
No the game's story makes even less sense how a 50s housewife with a law degree is suddenly murdering everything in the wastes.
>>316665027
>>316665101
Explain to me how dying is the better option when you can stay alive. Since both situations involve your son getting taken you can analyze the situation without that aspect. So the options are stay alive or die. Now how is dying the better option? Morals don't apply here because there's no tradeoff. It's strictly you die or stay alive.
So can you join all the factions and do all their quests? Is it even possible to exclude yourself from quests in this?
Seems like everyone quest related is essential.
>>316665325
I just wish she had better lines though. But yes she somehow musters up some emotion which is nice. To bad it's jarring, like when talking with Preston who has a shit tier voice actor that has no inflection at all though.
>>316665491
because you should at least TRY to save your kid
why can't you get that through your fucking skull you goddamn pussy
don't have kids
>>316665491
She was just woken up from cryosleep and some strangers are trying to take her baby. She panicked. Calm down autist
>>316665724
I understand trying to save your kid. But the fact is you aren't going to save him because you have a gun pointed at your face.
>>316665491
>morals don't apply here
I bet you don't even believe in God you fuck.
>>316665816

The ad hominem in here is astounding
>>316665816
I thought one of the conditions of posting on 4chan was the agreement that you weren't a robot.
>>316665816
Considering they killed everyone else it wouldn't really matter cause they'd kill you anyways.
>>316665887
>mommy they made fun of me!
>>316665887
>a-ad hominem!!!!
no you're just a fucking retard who needs it spelled out for them that most parents would die trying to save their child
>>316665940
What's stopping a Synth from lying?
>>316665940
Get that anon a Voight Kampf test.
>>316664561
how doesn't it make sense? he wanted to see if his dad could make it in the Commonwealth. He's a scientist and he lacks a lot of human emotion because of his upbringing
i don't see the problem in it, but i do agree them killing the others was stupid as fuck. why not keep them on ice? them only taking the baby made sense because they wanted someone who wouldn't have any idea of the idea of prewar or the nuclear apocalypse. killing the others was retarded as fuck though

there's not use trying to pin logic to it, your brains are hardwired to protect your offspring at any cost no matter the danger to yourself
especially women
>>316665887
>muh logical fallacies!
You do know that by pointing out fallacies that you your self are committing a fallacy. Also fallacies do not make an argument invalid. Now fuck off to reddit.
>>316666101
What are you even trying to argue here?
>>316666101
Projection much? They didn't call you an autist.
>>316666060
>>316665816
>But you're not protecting the baby. Why is that?
>>316666101
actually autism isn't far off considering the emotional stunting in autists
>>316666249
HATE BABY
>>316666225
why are you?

ahahahah that looks hilarious. theres no way that shits real though, right?
>>316666360
why wouldn't it be?
>>316666338
Are you retarded? Neither of the people that you replied to earlier called you an autist yet you made a shitty greentext that showed off how insecure you are about your autism. Makes sense considering your lack of sympathy.
>>316666360
Industrial shredder they use them for multitudes of reasons. They're used on farms to clean up debris and dead animals.
>but why not eat the cow?
Because it probably died of either disease or was found dead long after the point of the meat being salvageable or edible.
>>316664662
Same, iced that stupid motherfucker
>>316666186
That gif is horrible :(
>Start playing
>Get out of vault
>Find Codworth
>Try to murder him for scrap
>He's not only essential, but essential and this was expected so he won't defend himself

An argument implies actual logic.
This is called "shitposting."
And you should ignore it.

>she still tried her best to save her kid regardless of the consequences. as 99% of parents would do
>i just got unthawed from being fucking deep frozen, I better not listen to this guy waving a gun and try and resist instead of going along and possibly being taken with him, its obviously better if he sits in this freezer and we remain popsicles forever

>>316666062
>how doesn't it make sense? he wanted to see if his dad could make it in the Commonwealth. He's a scientist and he lacks a lot of human emotion because of his upbringing
why
what does he learn as a scientist from doing this, there's no reason. he pretty much just said he expected you to die after walking out in the wasteland
>>316666725
I honestly don't know. I can't keep up the shitposting that long
>>316664561
>"I wanted to see what would happen"

Kellogg was written surprisingly well, his flashback actually had me feel a bit of pity for him.

what makes you think God exists?
Killed my wife and stole my kid.
>option for "I forgive him" after his life story quest
You're a kekmeister if you choose that.
>>316666934
Eh, it was cliche to me and completely unsurprising backstory. The only thing I thought was impressive was that Bethesda remembered the NCR was a thing.
He did an okay job with the meh material though.
>>316664410
I don't think that kid was actually Shuan. Kellog was last seen in Diamond City some time before you arrive and he was seen with a kid.
>>316666804
>go into the wasteland to find my son
>have to kill raiders, mutants, abominations and sometimes slaughter the rare person who crosses me
>all the while building shelters and settlements because everyone else is incompetent and stupid

>he asks me why while crying tears as he lays on his belly trying to wipe the sticky goo from his face.

>>316667357
my wife is dead, time to get over it. plus I now have an innocent qt french accented synth woman.
>>316664561
Because he has cancer.
It's not that part that's annoying, it's the fact they didn't send a synth out to pick the vault dweller up right away.
>>316664015
Even worse. The reason the rest of the people in the tubes died was because they were simply never frozen back. So they all slowly suffocated to death in those fucking tubes instead of being kept alive as spares... Because clearly having only one back up is better than having about 8+ of them.
>Kellog is apparently 60 years older than when you see him steal your son
>He doesn't look a day older in game
They could have just made him a synth but apparently they "prolonged" his life and made him look young as fuck
>Institute are neet Nerds
>BoS are /pol/-lite
>Railroad are radical liberals
>Minutemen are irrelevant
Who the fuck do I pick
>>316667553
I hope you find a strong bull to satisfy that synth of yours
>>316664561
Shaun was dying. He wants to see what kind of man/woman his parent was before he dies.
Bethesda writing is often pretty shit but that part makes sense.
>guy literally murders your wife in cold blood
>b-but he had a hard life!!!
Fucking awful writing
>>316667553
I have no idea why so many degenerates want to fuck a robot.
>>316667483
thats not canon, anon
>>316666714
honestly compared to other games, you can kill waaaay more
you can kill almost all of the main story characters whenever you want
essential is almost only used on companions which im fine with
>>316667649
why didn't he just invite them to the institute then
>>316667683
she has lady parts is cuter than Piper and isn't as annoying as her.
>>316667141
I don't know? Why did you take obvious bait?
>>316667851
Because sometimes you can get the bait and escape the hook
So who rocked Kellogg's outfit and gun for a long while after they got them?
The gun with the maxed pistol perk was unstoppable
>>316663542
Good thing I don't give a shit about someone I barely even know.
>>316667631
Minutemen because you're irrelevant too.
>>316667978
I picked up a 25% more damage regular .44 and it's even stronger.
>>316667978
Less than 10 minutes after killing him, I found an even better .44 Revolver
>>316667978
>using pistols past the beginning
stay pleb
Is Dredd one of the voice acted names? I'm downloading the game now and this is very important.
>>316667978
He was nearly unstoppable when I fought him.
>"The question is- are you ready?"
>my head immediately explodes
>>316667978
I'm still rockin his outfit but I kinda wish I could put armor on it. his gun is one of my better ones except for the range but I have Reba II for that.
>>316665343
Gotta hamfist the RP in RPG. By that I mean literally forcing your own roleplay into the the game to explain her ability to go from lawyer into hardened wasteland survivaler.
I wouldn't know, I sneak punched him to death without talking to him
>>316668559
This.
>Actually walking up to him as his synths surround you
It was obvious how that conversation would end.
>>316666249
HATE TORTOISE
>>316668767
WHAT'S THAT?
>>316668797
SAME AS TURTLE
>>316668048
Probably not.
>tries to kill you several times before you actually meet him
>expects you to just join him when you meet him
I blasted that fucker as soon as he walked into the door.
I don't think I was supposed to though, this is what it looked like when I came back for round 2.
>>316667778
Because bethesda is still terrible at writing.
