Don't know - all I care about is my supplies of adhesive
4 (66.7%)

I don't think I could fit all the sub-endings in terms of allying, betraying and destroying into a poll, much less the reasons. Please share in the comments :D

I have done such a terrible job of completing main questlines in FO4 that I think I am on the adhesive's side u_u This is what happens when you ask the first rando with a gun you find rummaging in a trashcan to decide the fate of the Commonwealth.

I'll never get over stumbling into the Cambridge Police Station and having Danse talking like I'm this mercenary that does all these tough jobs for caps... I'm a lawyer and I don't know why you people are using bottle caps as money in the first place!

Haha, legit though! I did think it was an... interesting choice to tie separate professions to the gender options (vs letting you pick either one for a boost in appropriate skillsets, etc?) but yes, it gets very funny to have your tremendous badassery insisted upon sometimes. Sir, yesterday I was beaten up by a big crab.

To be fair, the big crabs can get very very big :)

It definitely is 'interesting' - I wish it were more actually interesting too! I guess there's not a lot for a lawyer to do in the Commonwealth, but it doesn't even come up very often that you're so unsuited to all this if that's your background. If we had to have a preset career, I would have preferred both soldiers or player=soldier spouse=lawyer. It would have been cool if it somehow played into the faction choices at least - maybe scientist would have worked better? The soldier > BoS thing seems obvious but I don't see the obvious option for the lawyer, but scientist > Institute would have been good (and in both cases you could do the opposite because it reminds you of your spouse or whatever, or just any reason). Then, the other two factions are not so tied to the old world (despite the stronger historical associations), so they're not so tied to your old world career?

But we end up hoarding duct tape in any case!
