GrimReapers1 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 So why can't I have a father / son outing with him? Oh you wanna see what daddy does when he's at work? OK, son. Put on this armor and pick up that rifle and let's go GET SOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb54 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 .. I know this is not the answer you are looking for: This is not the first time this has been asked. Apparently there is " in game " restrictions that limit what Synth Shaun can - could do. With the final release of FO4SE, there might be someone in the ' wind ', trying to work this out ... the script alone would be no small challenge and then the ' voice acting - cues ' and such. Plus children are very limited as to what they can and cannot do, because they are " children " ... and some get upset that children can even ' die ' in a game ... If you google this, you will see as far back as 2015, this has been a no small question - issue as to: " Why bother having a son, if all he can do is stay in the settlement and build things and that's it? That's not a father - son relationship.... " - some very frustrated players on this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuroraMoon Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Maybe one way to get around this is to give Synth Shaun a new body, like we did with curie? Say after a long length of time in the game Shaun already learned all there was to in his kid body and so we give him an young adult body. First Shaun decides that the two of you need to build a new synth cloning machine in the settlement which can be found in the special tab. Then we go down to vault 111 to get your wife/husband's body so that we not only have your DNA to work off but we also have your dead spouse's. we input both your DNA and your dead spouse's DNA, which will create a young adult synth that has a DNA blend from both his parents. Then we carry that new body to the memory Den, where Shaun gets to transfer himself into his new adult body. Of course, this means you get to deal with Shaun in his dreaded teenage years instead of in his cute child form... but at least he'd be able to fully defend himself and go on trips with you. Edit: of course the other way is to just do a mod that ages Synth Shaun up instead of going though all the steps to give him a new body. But this might make you miss out on a interesting side quest.

GrimReapers1 Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Yeah I figured it would be like shooting billiards with a rope but I was hoping I was wrong since I'm using a mod where one of the potential companions is a child, but of course that was created from scratch. In the meantime maybe something to allow me to simply give him stuff like clothing, armor weapons, etc. and he could equip and use them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
