"Children of Nate" Challange

[MrGrey]

I got tired of being the hit man for evil factions

They're all evil, each faction believing that the world would be a better place without at least one of the other three. And I thought, what would I do if I was Nate? Kill people in a world were the human race is pretty much doomed?

I got tired of building settlements for snarky little Settlers

Marcy Long is the prototype snarky whiny settler. Sole Survivor saves her life from the raiders, builds her a home, provides water, a bed, food, defenses.... And what does Sole Survivor get in return? Snark & whine. Why would sole survivor do that?  No. He'd get beer buddy and drink himself to death first.

What would I do in that situation? Something positive!

You're pretty much at liberty to do what you want... no restraints, really as Lorenzo Cabot said. The law is what you make it. So.. Using Just Business and Family Planning (and AAF), Nate (male sole survivor) sets out to repopulate the Commonwealth with his un-mutated genetics! Build 10 settlements, and put 1 or 2 "mother" slave in each settlement. Then, impregnate them. In 9 months (27 days @ 3 days per month) you get a baby!

Sure, the settlers are still going to be snarky and ungrateful but they're your Children! At least it would make sense why Nate is doing all this stuff for them!

 

My  picks to be the future mothers of the Commonwealth

To me, raiders, gunners and other genetically damaged humans would be poor starting stock. Vault 81 dwellers would be a good selection and according to Dr. Forsythe they may be a bit inbred after 200 years... so out breeding might be good for them: Tina Deluca and Overseer Gwen McNamara.

Piper is an easy pick. And for the rail road faction there's Desdemona. Can't do Glory, because Family Planning is set where Synths can't get preggers (it works anyway, not sure why but probably because slaves lose Synth status? ) It seems cruel to make Cait a slave again, but why not? I wonder if she would use drugs and that would harm the baby tho,  So I'm inclined to reject as a candidate (and if I recall correctly, Piper does drugs as well)..

Curie and K1-98 are only possible after you kill Kellogg, and I don't want to bring the BOS in so no.

Magnolia is a good candidate, but I found it hard to catch her when she's not singing.  Recruiting Ellie Perkins is a lot easier to recruit, and Anne Hargraves at WRVR.... That's 7 or 8 Moms of the Commonwealth....

The other four would be the Warwick and Abernathy Girls. If you leave them at their settlements, they count as two.

 

Who would you pick to be the future mothers of the Commonwealth?

Any suggested additions or deletions for the list? I've considered Trader Rylee, but then you remove a junk dealer and junk is needed. Any ideas? Too perverted? How about Coventry? there's three there. Since Synths work, Amelia Stockton is a candidate... Anyone else?

Ich hatte es satt, der Killer böser Fraktionen zu sein

Sie sind alle böse, und jede Fraktion glaubt, dass die Welt ohne mindestens einen der anderen drei ein besserer Ort wäre. Und ich dachte, was würde ich tun, wenn ich Nate wäre? Menschen in einer Welt töten, in der die Menschheit so gut wie dem Untergang geweiht ist?

Ich hatte es satt, Siedlungen für bissige kleine Siedler zu bauen

Marcy Long ist der Prototyp der bissigen, weinerlichen Siedlerin. Sole Survivor rettet ihr das Leben vor den Räubern, baut ihr ein Zuhause, stellt ihr Wasser, ein Bett, Essen, Verteidigungsanlagen zur Verfügung ... Und was bekommt Sole Survivor im Gegenzug? Schnauben und jammern. Warum sollte der einzige Überlebende das tun? Nein. Er würde zuerst einen Bierkumpel machen und sich zu Tode trinken.

Was würde ich in dieser Situation tun? Etwas Positives!

Es steht Ihnen im Großen und Ganzen frei, zu tun, was Sie wollen ... keine Einschränkungen, wirklich wie Lorenzo Cabot sagte. Das Gesetz ist, was Sie daraus machen. Also... Mithilfe von Just Business and Family Planning (und AAF) macht sich Nate (der einzige männliche Überlebende) daran, das Commonwealth mit seiner nicht mutierten Genetik neu zu bevölkern! Bauen Sie 10 Siedlungen und setzen Sie in jede Siedlung 1 oder 2 „Mutter“-Sklaven ein. Dann imprägnieren Sie sie. In 9 Monaten (27 Tage bei 3 Tagen pro Monat) bekommen Sie ein Baby!

Sicher, die Siedler werden immer noch bissig und undankbar sein, aber sie sind eure Kinder! Zumindest würde es Sinn machen, warum Nate das alles für sie tut!

 

Meine Auswahl an zukünftigen Müttern des Commonwealth

Für mich wären Räuber, Kanoniere und andere genetisch geschädigte Menschen eine schlechte Ausgangsbasis. Vault 81-Bewohner wären eine gute Auswahl und laut Dr. Forsythe könnten sie nach 200 Jahren ein wenig durch Inzucht geprägt sein ... also könnte eine Auszucht gut für sie sein: Tina Deluca und Aufseherin Gwen McNamara .

Piper ist eine einfache Wahl. Und für die Eisenbahn-Fraktion gibt es Desdemona. Ich kann Glory nicht machen, weil Family Planning dort angesiedelt ist, wo Synthesizer keine Schwangeren bekommen können (es funktioniert trotzdem, ich weiß nicht warum, aber wahrscheinlich, weil Sklaven den Synth-Status verlieren?). zu machen Es scheint grausam, Cait wieder zur Sklavin , aber warum nicht? Ich frage mich, ob sie Drogen nehmen würde und das würde dem Baby schaden, daher neige ich dazu, die Kandidatur abzulehnen (und wenn ich mich recht erinnere, nimmt Piper auch Drogen).

Curie und K1-98 sind erst möglich, nachdem Sie Kellogg getötet haben, und ich möchte den BOS nicht mit einbeziehen, also nein.

Magnolia ist eine gute Kandidatin, aber es fiel mir schwer, sie zu erwischen, wenn sie nicht singt. Die Rekrutierung von Ellie Perkins ist viel einfacher, und Anne Hargraves vom WRVR ... Das sind 7 oder 8 Mütter des Commonwealth ...

Die anderen vier wären die Warwick und Abernathy Girls . Wenn Sie sie in ihren Siedlungen zurücklassen, zählen sie als zwei.

 

Wen würden Sie als zukünftige Mütter des Commonwealth auswählen?

Gibt es vorgeschlagene Ergänzungen oder Löschungen für die Liste? Ich habe über Trader Rylee nachgedacht, aber wenn man einen Schrotthändler entfernt, wird Schrott benötigt. Irgendwelche Ideen? Zu pervers? Wie wäre es mit Coventry? da sind drei. Da Synths arbeiten, ist Amelia Stockton eine Kandidatin ... Noch jemand?

 

 

Your game idea has one central flaw:

The sperm cells and the testicular cells that produce them are only "primitive"... until Nate comes into a radiation storm for the first time... or gets the first heavy dose of radiation in a body of water or a wild garbage dump.

The whole idea with Nate and Nora's baby is - because an infant from a cryo capsule has the highest probability - of getting "unaltered" body cells as the basis for the "biological" synths.

Why weren't cells taken from the others - i.e. the adults?

Because the general level of radiation was already very high in the pre-war period - even then radioactive waste was illegally "disposed of" all over the landscape... the clues in the game are really endless!

That's why Nora and Nate don't actually have "clean" (genetically unchanged) bodies - since men's testicles are "outside"... they are particularly susceptible to mutations.

Which is what “Mother Nature” wanted... because without the possibility of mutations there is no evolution.

It only becomes a disadvantage... when humans turn the earth into a permanent radiation hell... you don't even need atomic bombs... just visit the Oceanological Institute in Nahant.

Otherwise... it's a game... why do you need sensible justifications for a fuck-hungry man - who keeps women as breeding slaves in order to... save humanity again??

?

Second mistake:

"Natural" reproduction means the combination of the parents' genes - that is, those of Nate ("uncontaminated") and women from the current CONTAMINATED Commonwealth.

How are “uncontaminated” children supposed to come about?

Or does Nate have a cloning lab somewhere? ...then the settlements will all be populated by little MALE Nate clones??

 

---

Basically, I share your dislike for the first group of settlers around “Preston”.

As a player, I even have a title deed for my house in this settlement... my butler robot cuts a (non-existent) hedge in front of my house.

And then comes the saying:

“You are always welcome in OUR settlement as a GUEST”

Please what? Can you repeat what you just said again?

It's the tutorial for "learning" how to expand a settlement... but as a player, do you have to swallow that kind of crap over and over again?

NO!

Because there are now other ways to get into the institute... you don't need this whole settlement box (militia path) for that.

 

Should one even bother with operating more than a single settlement?

The idea of building your own vault - an underground settlement - is available via DLC (Vault 88) ... and is ultimately a nightmare - which you can actually only play thanks to the tireless work of mod authors .

So I leave Vault 88 where it is - untouched underground... the group around "Preston" stays in the museum - aka is completely ignored.

I start neither as Nora nor as Nate... I enter Vault 101 with the aim of finding the tape on the dead Nora... so that the main quest can be triggered.

then I leave the vault - finish the game - install the vault expansion... start the game... and can now use the vault as an expandable base... and have a huge cavern for additional expansions.

Sanctuary only serves as camouflage for the Vault with 2-3 settlers.

 

Settlers?

I don't run a station... which not only shows the settlers where to get etas... what a stupid idea!

There is a mod (here on LL) - in which people are held captive in EVERY raider or super mutant camp... who can be SAVED... and who are super grateful to you as a player for saving them... and the opportunity to work with YOU in YOUR settlement.
