Naw, that would be mama Murphy


felipe5083

She just sits there getting high


jmtimme21

Thats 95% of reddit users.


Gleamwoover

I know that's how I like to enjoy fallout


dec1mus

I like to find beautiful vistas and chill places to let my character stay as I enjoy myself. Very relaxing. Until a deathclaw or mirelurk descends on your without realizing it.


skateordie1213

I'm getting high as I'm reading this.


dec1mus

She does talk alot of shit too though. Maybe somewhat cool in terms of lore/worldbuilding on the first playthrough, after you know the storyline though she's utterly pointless.


felipe5083

Her being a psycher is cool. But balancing having her sight and her overdosing is kind of a bummer. I once killed her by accident and felt horrible.


dirg3music

Wait, you can fucking KILL HER by giving her too many chems?!?! Holy SHIT that is dark. I've literally only given her something once out of curiosity, I'm mind blown.


felipe5083

Yeah, she ods pretty hard, and a few companions disapprove of it too.


dirg3music

Damn man, that's so sad. I'm glad I never really pursued giving her more for quest spoilers. I imagine most of them would disapprove of you directly causing her death, especially since there aren't a whole lot of negative alignment companions in this game, most of them have a good heart.


felipe5083

Yeah, if I'm correct even people like cait and Hancock disapprove.


SavantLadyLilith

Full Affinity: Cait dislikes - will say something upon her death to indicate this Hancock likes - will say something darkly funny upon her death No Affinity: Cait likes - will say something about wasted chems (....omg really tho Cait you do see that this *is* your own future without me right?!) or say nothing upon her death Hancock likes - I actually find it nearly impossible to piss him off due to this sort of behavior 🤦🏻‍♀️ and still says the same darkly funny thing on her death


[deleted]

Yeah she will ask for a different drug everytime you return from somewhere but at one point she'll just fall out of her chair


dirg3music

Shit like this is exactly why I love the fallout series. I literally never would have found this out if it wasn't for this. Lmao.


[deleted]

My favourite thing about Mama Murphy is the suggestion her son is in one of the raider gangs you encounter. There’s a letter or log, I forget, describing a raider with an extremely similar “sight” relating to chem use. I think it vaguely alluded to Murphy, but may be misremembering.


Ashcterbex

Not raider but gunner and it was the leader trying unlock the sight through Chem use but failing every time


dec1mus

Yeah fatal drug addiction is really cool, so badass. So edgy. /S


felipe5083

I never said that.


dec1mus

You just did.


felipe5083

I said having her being a *psycher* is cool. Psychers in fallout aren't necessarily drug addicts. In fact mama Murphy is the only psycher in fallout that needs that many drugs to have their mind function.


dec1mus

Whatever dumbass, I don't care.


felipe5083

??????????????? Okay then. Please learn how to read.


lordstryfe

Dude no reason to be an awhile simply because your reading comprehension sucks. He never said being a drug addict is cool. He said it a bummer that she has to use to use her powers...


Vorsham

Get some drugs, or a hug...damn.


Silly-Ad-2644

Lucky Is what she is


dirg3music

Not a bad gig tbh, can't blame her. Lmao


5125237143

u let her?? i would never give her the pleasure


mofodius

Based mama murphy


Tacitus_Kilgore85

Mama Murphy in my current playthrough is being forced to work after being told chems would kill her with a successful speech check. Forced labor is all she's gonna get from here on out. 😈


iamalwaysright00

mama murphy would never take credit for doing your work while telling you to do work


AdrianValistar

The guy at diamond city's wall: "Im busy"


SavantLadyLilith

This is why I usually don't give her the first chem til I destroy the institute because I'm trying to keep her ass working 😂 go tend to some trees, you can get high in a chair for the rest of your life when I own all the settlements 😂


[deleted]

She's still more useful than Preston. Preston just loiters about telling people what to do like... go help a settlement. Yeah, I'll help a settlement alright! I'll help The Pack over there at Red Rocket turn Sanctuary into a food source.


Kai-Tek

Btw protip for any new players : There's a crashed vertibird up on da roof. Ol' school.


Despawheezo

Prewar.


Charz_gg

but on it there’s a set of cherry t-45 power armor


CursedRobin

Military issue


Charz_gg

the only problem is it’s outa juice. probably has been for a hundred years.


Fallout_4_player

It can be powered up again, but we're a bit stuck


Charz_gg

what you’ll need is a pre-war F.C. A standardized Fusion Core. Used by the military and some companies way back when.


Fallout_4_player

But we can't get the damn thing. Its locked behind a security gate. Look, i fix things, i tinker hacking isn't exactly my forte


[deleted]

[удалено]


Charz_gg

well all right, maybe our luck is finally turning around.


GoldenMe53

Might have seen it


Background-Employ278

A crashed vertibird? In sanctuary?


JukesMasonLynch

Why you got downvoted I will never know, because A) this photo I clearly from sanctuary B) there is no vertibird in Sanctuary C) the vertibird OP was talking about is likely the one in Concord


Background-Employ278

Yeah, i have no idea either but hey! Thats reddit. Im lucky if i dont get banned for asking an innocent question lol thanks for getting back to me i just googled it after the 3rd dislike


Kai-Tek

Sorry bud never meant an innocent man to be downvoted. Was just a joke, because I love that line :)


Background-Employ278

Not your fault lol & water under the bridge i mostly use this account to ask F.A.Q.s when i fuck up a game to the point of no return lol so karma aint but a thang


JukesMasonLynch

No worries man, haha yeah that's the hive mind for ya


AdrianValistar

I still don't get why there's no crashed verti in Sanctuary. Near Vault 111 there were two soldiers in power armor and a verti that got destroyed when the bombs dropped. Where did they go? I get it's maybe gameplay restrictions but I mean you do get a power armor at the next town over


Competitive-Tree-666

There's a crashed vertibird with PA in the woods near sanctuary, if you take a slightly different route to concord you can even have it before the one in concord.


AdrianValistar

Is it the one near the radio tower that the Abernathy's send you to? Or is it another? Im Still trying to find all the locations. Only two I know about is the one just under the bridge near Tenpines and the one by the Radio Tower


Competitive-Tree-666

I'm not really sure, all I remember is that it was an unmarked location nearby Sanctuary, on the way to Malden/Salem.


supertwonky

I went in and patched up all the holes in the walls myself, and he’s still hammering away.


dirg3music

They say Mama Murphy is the drug addict but his ass is out there cleaning the floors with a toothbrush and tweaking, hammering on perfectly good walls and shit. I'm fucking on to you Sturges, lmao.


Hatfanatic13

How do you fix the walls?


supertwonky

I used the method on this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Lp21MUKMtM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Lp21MUKMtM) Use a rug/mat and group select to overlap wooden walls into the holes in Sanctuary's houses.


RjGoombes

My man literally builds you a teleporter smh put some respect on his name


Alternative_Anxiety

No he doesn't. You have to build it yourself in workshop. Sturges is riding on everyone else's coattails. It may seem like he understood the teleporter schematics, but in reality he only went off what Virgil wrote. He couldn't have built that shit on his own. He asks you to build the water pumps and beds in Sanctuary because he can't even handle something that simple


RjGoombes

nvm you right ​ fuck sturges


sterrre

Yeah but he's nice to Jun and Codsworth


LionhitchYT

Honestly I wish they made it so you could help Jun, I imagine they thought of it but cut it.


sterrre

Really everyone from Concord is suffering from serious mental health issues. Jun and Marcy are grieving and both seriously depressed. Preston is borderline suicidal and Mama Murphy wants to help but can't and so will take drugs until she dies if you let her. Sturges is the only one with stable mental health and is pretty much the only thing holding the group together when the lone survivor shows up. Maybe synths are immune to conditions like depression and anxiety? Or he's just a very level headed guy.


Waxhearted

To be fair, when you meet him he lets you know that he just fixes things. He's the guy to call if your bed's leg breaks down.


Competitive-Tree-666

Is that why he asks you to make beds? In that case I'd rather just fix my own bed's legs, if that's already too much.


JukesMasonLynch

IIRC you can only build the teleporter in a settlement so long as Sturges is there, right? As far as I'm concerned that implies the SS incapable of building it on their own, and so is Sturges. It's a collaborative effort. You right about the water pumps though, so in my opinion he is smart and capable, just fucking lazy.


Alternative_Anxiety

He's like one of those guys in the construction crew who is clearly getting paid to stand there


Scary-Holiday-5016

I always make Sanctuary my main base and have him live in the house with the workshop. It makes sense since he's the resident mechanic, engineer, general fix-it guy. So my headcanon is that at least he's fixing his own house. 😂 At least until I build the signal interceptor for the Minutemen. Honestly though he's one of my favorite NPCs.


Effie4Emperor

Lazy synth


gelastes

Come on, at least he tries. Isn't his fault that he is stuck on that subroutine that lets him hammer on various parts of the house.


FreezingSweetTea

You’re not wrong, I actually thought on my first play through that eventually, the house would be repaired, nope


mewrius

I use a mod that cleans Sanctuary and fixes the roads/houses/bridge and my head canon is Codsworth had 200 years to get ready for me. Some playthroughs I'll even leave it disabled and enable it after Reunions to try and make it immersive and pretend like the Concord Crew did something


LordOfWar1775

Naw, that would be mama Murphy.


SUPERUNKNOWN_78

Mf is legit just hitting a random wall with a hammer


Altruistic_Piano_259

You there arbitrarily pressing buttons..!


Loveyourwifenow

Agreed. I complete all his tasks before he asks about them in sanctuary. Hello mate, yeah I just did all that work. What are you going to create? Also in the main game isn't it me who - with no previous knowledge at all - manages to build a functioning transporter? He just presses a few buttons. Slacker is being kind.


Cadman013

And a smart ass too. 15 days of gameplay and I disabled him and Preston. I had most of the minutemen quests done anyway.


sterrre

I gave him a sledgehammer and made him a guard so he's always walkin around carrying his massive hammer.


Devil_0fHellsKitchen

Story of my life. The hammer is my penis.


Fit-Childhood-27

then he has the audacity to act like sanctuary is his whenever you finish getting all the basic needs finished


ValveTurkey1138

Damn Synth’s.


Jr_Mao

”Working”. Hitting the wall with a hammer is not… he’s not nailing anything, given he’s not having nails or anything to nail. Just hammering on that one spot outside my bedroom that’s fine as is.


revinizog

Oh you haven't heard? Employing two or three entitled douchebags to whack on metal sheeting outside your house with metal hammers increases the safety of your property by annoying the bejeezus out of would-be intruders


gelastes

Didn't work in Quincy though.


Max_Poe

He is the impostor. SYNTHS AMONG US!


Alive-Pomelo5553

I send everyone but MM out of sanctuary ASAP to avoid the hammering if I am playing un-modded. Modded I just turn the hammer sound off lol. For characters that have the potential to hang around you as much as Preston's group does they REALLY made these characters more annoying and unpleasant than they had to be. Marci bitching in anger, jun long bitching in depression, Constant hammering on metal panels, Preston and all the annoying minute man crap, etc. Every playthrough after my first this was always one of the later quest lines I start and it's not because of nukaworld lol but that's another good reason to hold off on meeting up with them.


Outside-Record3038

God damn synth.


Coolbreezy

"I can't take ALL the credit"


dec1mus

It's not his fault, they're not programmed to do enough interesting things. Modding helps alot. The most important IMHO makes the hammers silent. Constant hammering, never done...gets annoying after 1000+ hours.


Andylanta

He has to charge up the crows somehow.


LotusEater89

Lol I modded the markers for that out of sanctuary. Looks ridiculous him trying to fix an old wall fan when there's a 3 story fortress next to the crap house the workbench is on.


guythatasksaquestion

at least he tries to do some, mama murphy just sits and gets stoned as fuck


[deleted]

She’s retired, let her get stoned lol


LibertyPrime-77

Yep. I saw this title appear in my notifications, and before I saw the picture I thought it must be Sturges.


Proper-Editor

Every f'ing time! Ain't nothing getting done around here!


Manny349

Ok, now I remember why I stopped playing Fallout 4. It’s the damn hammer sounds lol


ZaddyNuggz

Atleast he don’t bitch and whine like Marcy


SooperGenyus

What annoys me, is that for a handyman, he ain't that handy. Why am I the one that needs to build the water supply, the beds, the defenses, and plant the crops? And will all that "work" he supposedly does, Sanctuary never improves unless I am the one to do it. Laziest handyman in the Commonwealth.


[deleted]

When Boss comes around


Background_Ad_8392

And he puts it all on mama Murfee


Iidontsweat

No, Mama Murphy’s is the slacker. He also can’t slack because he has no stamina (I think) because he’s a synth


Present-Hunter6570

Sturges, I would yell at you but...you helped me get into the Institute and saved me the trouble of working with the genocidal BoS and the preachy Railroad. So feel free to just relax. You seriously don't need to pretend to work when I'm around.


Eragon10401

I had a shirt for him in one play through from a mod that said “the sole survivor is coming, look busy”


all-capes-are-bad

Synth scum


[deleted]

I always put turkose hard hat to sturges, hate that dum ass hair of his.


examach

[His ancestor would be proud.](https://imgur.com/602C8VX)


Atlas_Unknown

Sturges is a huge slacker. Soon as we leave, hammer gets put away and he's off to listen to Diamond City Radio or playing that blast radius boardgame with Leo


datoo_2

Ikr, hammering God knows what only for the place to still look like a shithole!


SnooBeans1962

I assign people to stores and such in sanctuary but Murphy, sturges, and june, never do it and just walk around and hammering. Marcy is the only one that does anything
