Fallout-romance

I’ve been really trying baby! Trying to hold onto this feeling for so long! But if you feel, like I feel sugar…then come on, let’s get it on! The nuclear dust may have settled, but it looks like some people still need companionship after civilisation has crumbled. In Fallout 4, you can do just that, as you earn friends with benefits.

And by benefits, I mean extra damage and quicker hacking perks, you perves. Still, you can take some friendships to another level in Fallout 4, if you know how. It takes some hard work to get someone on your side. With some characters, you need to hit certain quests in order to earn perks. They’ll also require certain behaviour interactions. There’s also positive behaviour traits, actions which can also increase your affinity with certain inhabitants.

  1. Is it like Skyrim’s romance, empty and void of feelings?

      Now that you mention it, Skyrim + DLC has over 40 followers and I think over 30 potential spouses. Odd that they would give you so few options in FA4. Hopefully future DLC will remedy that. It can be argued you can “wait for the modders” but we shouldn’t have to rely on them to fix bugs and add stuff that should’ve been in there. Please note that it’s just my opinion as I can only start playing FA4 in December when I get my new rig.

        Why do you say FA4? If you don’t simply want to write F4 then at least write FO4.

          Love and romance is an emotion, emotion is static electricity in our brains, it’s static electricity in her brain as well, her mind (even though her brain is not made out of biological material) is just like a human’s and she seems very lovable.
