Every other Bethesda RPG has done a good job letting you build your character and their motivations. This could all be a coincidence, but I still feel like the wife got the shaft in the intro and not being a soldier herself. The leak got a few things correct, game being in Boston and plot dealing with the institute and the synth. True, but the intro being narrated by the husband (which gives him a small background story before we even see him) seems to support that leak/rumor from a year/months back that the game originally was just gonna have the male protagonist so as to have a more focused story etc. When you look at the military uniform in the wardrobe she says something along the lines of 'I'm so proud of him.' If you want to roleplay the mother, I guess a high intelligence, high charisma character makes sense. This option has been a staple in bethesda games. You being a lawyer has little to do with it.Īlso there's no way the female protagonist is a last-minute addition. Your son getting abducted and your husband getting shot, after being set up by vault tec, is your motivation. Patiently waiting on the Live Another Life Fallout 4 edition mod. You could be a murderer that escaped, or someone in the wrong place, at the wrong time. In all the Elder Scrolls games, you're a convict. Free to be whatever you want to be, without being shackled down to what you were before you were shot in the head. Heck, the only thing he ever did for me was give me a BB gun and walk out on me.

I'm in no rush to track him down, if I even track him down. He's an older guy, he chose to leave on his own, he can take care of himself. You're never shown to have any sort of real connection with your dad in Fallout 3. Growing up in the Vault in Fallout 3, you had a chance to shape your character into a jerk who'd end up turning into a canibal raider. It's hard to see this character spending time growing potatos in a metal shack city when their kid is somewhere out there. You're also a parent who, from the first few minutes of the game, shows a strong attachment to their family. The power armor thing though, I don't really get. The female PC may have been trained to shoot. I have known quite a few ex-military guys and have gone shooting with them. It really sucks that you're very much shoe-horned into a character that's not your's.
