Mod Request: Satisfying Brotherhood Questline (SPOILERS)


spwned

Recommended Posts

Hello!

 

I made mods in the past, but I don't have the time and skills required for this idea. Maybe someone else does?

 

SPOILER WARNING! The Fallout 4 story will be discussed bellow:

 

I hate 3 things in the Brotherhood of Steel questline:

- Dense is a Synth

Why do I have a problem with this?

Dense is an exemplary soldier, and I really liked fighting for the Brotherhood side by side with this capable paladin. He is also the only Brotherhood of Steel follower available. It's a huge spit in the player's face when you discover that the only true and badass Brotherhood soldier is a Synth.

 

- Elder Maxson

Why do I have a problem with this?

I don't like him at all, his character is not interesting, not engaging... waste of space. It would have been way better if the player can become the faction leader.

 

- The Brotherhood blows up the Institute

Why do I have a problem with this?

It's a contradiction with everything the Brotherhood of Steel stands for. I don't think much explanation is needed here... blowing up countless of high-end tech gadgets and the ONLY working nuclear reactor makes zero sense.

 

How to fix all of this?

The questline can go the same way it does now until the confrontation with Dense who the Brotherhood leaders claim to be a Synth.

 

- Dense can then reveal that he is in fact flash and blood and that the records have been falsified by no other then the true Synth a**hole in the Brotherhood: Elder Maxson.

- You and Dense can then have a confrontation with Elder Maxson where Maxson is revealed to be a Synth and Synth reinforcements try to rescue him but you kill his traitor ass.

- Dense's record is cleared of charges, and the Brotherhood soldiers and leaders present name you to be the next Elder. You take your rightful place in the lead with your badass friend and right hand: Paladin Dense.

- Before the final battle at some point you should be allowed to make a choice to occupy the Institute and confiscate all technology instead of blowing it up. No human scientist needs to be harmed unless they refuse to stand down. Synths are to be destroyed and the Synth production facility is to be shut down after studied by Brotherhood scientists. The nuclear reactor is started by the Brotherhood and their power and position in the Commonwealth is established for centuries to come. The end. The Institute would remain open with Brotherhood paladins patrolling and Brotherhood scientist keeping an eye on the Institute scientists. Institute scientist would be given a chance to convert to the Brotherhood's cause in due time if they prove themselves loyal.

 

Optional:
- You could have a less negative final farewell with Shawn, because his Institute is not destroyed. Maybe he could actually admit that making Synths may have been a mistake because existing robots like Mr Handy are way safer and can provide the labor of Synths except for replacing humans which is not morally acceptable.

- Another extra could be to choose to ignore the Railroad instead of destroying it on grounds that they will not represent a threat once the Institute is dealt with. There could also be an occupation option... why not?

 

If someone is strong at doing quests, editing scripts and creating new dialogue reusing existing lines... I think this is a realistic project that would be very positively received by Brotherhood of Steel fans.

 

That is all. Cheers!

Is Dense an overweight version of Danse ?

No, Dense is the requester's idea of making Danse not a Synth, and also by not placing this in the Mod Request forum...where it might actually be seen...though I have no problems with all of the above, with the exception of everyone blowing up the Institute because of the Synths. Making the synths in of themselves is not immoral, replacing live human beings with them is...synths if left alone could just as easily work alongside humankind in the future, especially once they become self-aware.
