Bethesda doesn't know how to write "hard, meaningful choices" - Fallout 4 is a perfect example of that. "You must save the son you have only known for 2 minutes and have formed literally zero attachment to!" Or not, I don't care about that kid. Especially considering under the circumstances there is no way I am not a Synth and thus he's not really my son anyway.

@@pigpuke I never really got that complaint. I don't have to have an attachment to a child to understand the inherently sympathetic motivation of a parent wanting their child back. There are far more egregious examples in my opinion.

@@LunamrathP , your line of reasoning would only make logical sense if the Institute allowed Nora, Nate, and Shaun to live together within the Institute, and them rallying and uniting the other three factions to work side by side the Institute.

@@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr To be clear, I'm just talking about the initial motivation. Once you find your old ass son the narrative falls apart pretty fast.

What plot of Fallout 4 I would make here on the spot in the comments if I was a writer/developer. Let's see... The raiders who kidnapped Shaun would actually be regular raiders, well organized and numerous. They would take him, because he is not affected by radiation and they want to find a cure, but they lack technology and scientists to do so, so they kidnap some smart scientists and tell them to make a lab. The lab slowly grows into the institute. They will create many things including the synths. But after a few years, Shaun, now a young scientist using advanced technology finds many pre war places of interests, including the vault where he came from. He finds his father in there, but decides to keep him frozen, until he finds a safe way to get him out without alerting the raiders, but he understands that he can just wait and he will leave on his own. Not knowing they killed his mom. But then he will find out because of the security cameras and starts plotting in secret, to create the army of synths and wipe the raiders off the face of the Earth. Planning to be there on the day when his father wakes up to be a family again, preferably after all the raiders are dead, so they can live in peace. But he is forced to miss this moment when it comes. On the surface though, Shaun still pretends he is working with the raiders for now. Meanwhile the Minutemen are trying to protect the Commonwealth from mutants, feral ghouls, deathclaws, raiders and other menaces. The Mechanist, who loves to create robots, finds out and helps them with their defenses, indirectly. (Sending robots that protect them from time to time, then leave.) Being a mysterious person. But some of the raiders are dealing with a corrupt Brotherhood elder. The Brotherhood doesn't know one of their Elders is dealing with the enemies, but Shaun finds out and replaces him with a synth, so he can have a spy in the Brotherhood. The original elder's bodyguard is killed during a fight though. This raises a suspicion within the Brotherhood. Meanwhile Shaun separated The Institute from the raiders and begins a full scale attack against the raiders using synths and robots. While these two factions are at war, the Brotherhood recognizes a synth that died in the battle against the raiders as the murderer of Elder's bodyguard and then find out the Elder is a synth as well. Now the Brotherhood battle both the Institute for revenge and the Raiders because they are scum. Meanwhile The Minutemen think the Institute is still with the Raiders, as they've battled them before, they too have their own agenda to battle both groups, but the Mechanist stopped sending helpful robots all of a sudden and nobody knows why. (Another side quest) But the Minutemen are basically trying to protect common folk from harm, but now they need your help more than ever, now that the Mechanist stopped the support. The Brotherhood is self centered and battling raiders and Institute to protect their own group and they are paranoid that there may be stronger opponents than them, probably overestimating the Institute, but who knows. Join them to find out. The Institute fights Raiders, because Shaun wants revenge for his mom and incidentally ignited the wrath of other groups using his shady tactics. There are many enemies, so if you want to join them and your son, count on many battles. Raiders battle all other groups, because they are scum. Plot twist: The Mechanist started supporting the Raiders with advanced robots, that is why they are tough to kill now. Why though? That is up to investigation. So if you want to play a villain, join them and find out. (I don't have the endings and plot twists thought out for each faction yet, but I could do it.) Tldr: Some alternate plot made up in my head as a setting to Fallout 4 when the player finally wakes up and sees the Wasteland factions battling each other.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't even need to ask. Given the choice most would immediate kill her, then tell paarthurnax "oh nothing happened, just some nut jobs, don't worry about it"

Man, I would be on seventh heaven to do that with no asking

now THAT'S a mod that needs to be made

The key difference is that Paathurnax IS actually your superior, being the abbot, so to speak, of the Greybeards and you, as powerful of a Dragonborn you are, are not above him. Besides, he talks to you like a peer, someone on the same level, AND is the living proof that through meditation and great will one can if not change their nature, at least channel it for the greater good (a dragon's name in Skyrim represents their nature and Paathurnax means something along the lines of CRUEL TYRANT, but he has worked ages to not be a cruel tyrant). Delphine, on the other hand, is a hypocrite and coward who hid in a village living a simple tavern life, while the other Blades died fighting or hid in sewers overrun by thugs and thieves, and she is supposed to serve either us (as we are the Dragonborn) or Titus (as he is the Emperor). Not only she does neither, she acts like she is the one in charge AND even has the balls to say the Blades are proud dragon hunters and then never gets close to a single dragon, even asking us to kill the one dragon who proves her wrong. There's a reason why in my first playthrough I left her and Esbern as the last NPCs to kill after a simple console command, before retiring with my wife as the richest and most powerful person in Skyrim

​@@KyrieFortune The Blade serve only dragonborn or dragonborn bloodline after martin's death the blade are free from duty to empire but they still cooperate with elder council and empire. after white tower pact they been hunt so most of them be death. they can't serve emperor because pact is like force empire to turn the blade to thalmor and thalmor are have info about almost everything and everyone related to the Blade. so most of survivor need stay low and left the blade or do shadow ops. but still the Blade must serve Dragonborn after they found them and protect his bloodline, not order them to do something. they only can advice and guide dragonborn but dragonborn still can decide what he/she/they want and The Blade must respect and obey that decision, not defy and force like delphine do to dragonborn

That's one hell of a big brain move.

Literally torturing her for her crimes. Glorious!

Well, the Blades may have always lack lustre, but this iteration of the Blades is especially so.

Also very hypocritical and very unwilling to stop hating for things that happened long ago, so long only people who know are three people and Paarth. Who has tried to do good for thousands of years for crimes we don't even know he committed. What about Delphine, she fought in the Empire-Elf war, who knows how many she killed. She's on the elf list. And yet Ulfric isn't, despite being a legend during that war. She must've done a while lotta bad things. And for what? The possibility that the elves might want the Dragonborn, someone who would nothing more than a myth even the long lived elves don't remember? Who holds nothing of importance for them?

@@rhyscallinan5058 Not doing bad is not the same thing as doing good. It's like if Hitler got to retire to a little house in the countryside with 0 repercussions. You're letting a mass murdering war criminal off scot-free because he's written well and voice by mario. Delphine is right.

Greybeards: Nah, we won't teach you anything more. Blades: This is my theory about who is behind this. This is why I think this. And this is what I've done to get you ready to find out more. Blades: The end of the world is at hand, but we might be able to stop it! Let's go, together, to learn what we need to save the world. Greybeards: The end of the world might be a good thing, but I suppose we could host a halfdozen people for half an hour so try and stop it, if you really insist. Greybeards: We don't want to teach you, but here's a place to go find a word. If you survive. Blades: Get three recruits to back you up when we find a dragon for us to kill together. Greybeards: You learned about a shout we didn't want you to know about, so go climb a mountain. And either way, we'll never teach you anything again. Blades: You haven't killed a dragon that has a history of Very Bad Things, so we don't trust you to have our back when we go dragon hunting.
