Fallout 4 is on Xbox game pass and I've been playing it a lot recently. Found out that console mods are a thing for this and skyrim, so I decided to buy all the DLC and start modding my game. In this thread I'll basically talk about my current playthrough and hope you guys will do the same too
Current Playthrough:
Mods -
+ Fallout 4 unofficial patch (I was told its necessary)
- Everyone's Best Friend (Dogmeat does not count as a companion slot, can be taken with others)
- K9 Tactical Armour (Armour for doggo)
- Heather Companion Mod (A cool companion mod)
- TANK UP! (Companion power armour acts like Danse's)
- USO (Settlement assets mod, allows me to use all of the game's assets not just the workshop ones)
+ Wattz Laser Rifle (Awesome Mod! Adds in the laser rifle from 1 and 2, its super fun and has some cool uniques)
- Wasteland Something Experience (I have forgotten this one's name, but its really cool too.)
- FCom (Calling in troops to help you is awesome.)
+ There are more. More with each day that I find more mods.
Character Name - BrettCharacter Backstory - As per the vanilla story, Brett was a patriotic pre-war military soldier, served in the US Army, Mechanized infantry. It was in the army he met his wife, Nora, a lawyer-turned-medic. After rotating back into civilian life, Brett and his wife are left to take care of their nephew whose parents, Nora's sister and husband, were KIA. Having been accepted into Vault 111, Brett amends his vault papers to include up his newly adopted child/nephew.
Bombs and cryogenics ensue, leaving Brett the Sole Survivor of Vault 111. Nora was murdered by a mercenary at the behest of a scientist and his nephew Shaun was kidnapped. Heartbroken and emotionally torn, Brett returns to the only thing he knows and knows well- soldiering.
Faction Alignments -
- Minutemen - Brett has taken up the mantle of Minuteman general, so that he can earn money. He has vague ties to their ideals, but at the end of the day the allure of caps is what keeps him around.
- Brotherhood of Steel - Brett is yet to fully join the Brotherhood of Steel, but he shares their views on Synths, Mutants and Ghouls. He intends to serve them as loosely as they will allow, akin to a third party mercenary.
- Institute - Brett despises their Synth programme and is hearing increasing rumours that they may be behind his nephew's kidnapping and the murder of his wife.
- Railroad - What kind of group deems the survival of machines over mankind to be right? The Synths are weapons and will inevitably turn, the Railroad are traitors to America for protecting them.
- Gunners - There is a respect for their job and their commitment, but he is not beyond killing every last one that sends a bullet his way.
- Raiders - They seem to favour survival of the fittest over morals, Brett understands this while not agreeing with it. He knows, however, that they're no match for him and whatever squad he rolls with at any one time.
- Dogmeat - A loyal doggo.
- Heather - A trader whose home was destroyed by Kellogg and Synths.
- [Slot Open] - The mods above mean the vanilla companion slot is still open. I am unsure who to take.
I will update this thread with short updates here and there, as to how Brett is growing in the wasteland. I encourage anyone who is currently playing to do the same!
