CyrusAmell Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) But aren't they used for adds in FO4? Yes, they are still around. Don't know why, damn things shouldn't have gone long without getting shot up by raiders and scavengers. But the Mechanist is from the Capital Wasteland, or so we believe, and all of the Eyebots back there were Enclave propaganda machines. Does it look like the mechanist is hiding in a fault ? At the very least a very fortified location - either an important manufacturing center or a military base. Whatever it is, I imagine it was built to withstand the initial bombardment of a nuclear war. Edited March 14, 2016 by CyrusAmell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silwerbullet Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Does that mean we cant lockpick to get in :laugh: Maybe the mechanist is the boy that watched the battles between the antagoniser and the mechanist in Fallout 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I really don't see why you can't just fix one and use for yourself. They are good for ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason Travis really wanted people everywhere hear him screw up on Diamond City Radio, so he has some out there blaring ads. Still, I think scavengers nowadays would kill a man for an aluminum can - they would certainly pop a robot open if they thought some of the screws could be sold for caps. Does that mean we cant lockpick to get in :laugh: Maybe the mechanist is the boy that watched the battles between the antagoniser and the mechanist in Fallout 3. I don't know about the former, but the latter is very likely. It is the predominant theory as to his true identity. So I believe the Eyebot in the last trailer might have lead him down the path of evil at a young age. Maybe he is here in the Commonwealth to build an army of robots he can turn around and use to wipe out the Brotherhood of Steel back home? Or he could just be nuts, there is always that.

silwerbullet Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 What would be the most likely guess be as to where the enemy base would be? Could they just add a building to the map like a mod would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyrusAmell Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) What would be the most likely guess be as to where the enemy base would be? Could they just add a building to the map like a mod would do. Difficult to tell, the outside area in the trailer appears to be in the northwest region of the map (the south is far too swampy and the northeastern local has too many trees and rocky hills). I really cannot say more, and thankfully in seven days wherever it is my Sole Survivor will knock down the doors as a Gauss Rifle toting killer in a full X-01 power armor suit. It would be interesting if we got to decide the Mechanist's fate. Not just kill or allow to live but perhaps recruit for your favored faction. The Brotherhood can always use tech savvy soldiers, and the Institute occasionally recruits promising individuals with practical knowledge. I guess the Railroad can put him to work helping PAM and the Minutemen could sure use some robots to help fight raiders and Super Mutants. Heh, I just thought of a Minutemen patrol with one of those cowboy protectrons from New Vegas. Funny. Edited March 14, 2016 by CyrusAmell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silwerbullet Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I can already see how the minutemen will use the eye bots ..... chasing after you with " there is another settlement needing your help" ....aaaaaa!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No! I will kill the Mechanist with my bare hands before I let that happen! Also, does anyone else think that siding with the Brotherhood or the Institute should grant the player access to newer upgrades? It would certainly make those factions interesting. At the very least I want an Institute Pearly White Paint Scheme for my Robot Minions to match my X-01 paint.
