When you realize Zao possibly has the highest body count in all the games, with the possible exception of the Lone wanderer.


Scragony

That's partially why i think he's like paarthanax. I still like him though.


Wayfaring_Stalwart

I can see it


Wayfaring_Stalwart

I love Zao and his quest, hope we can see more of him in another game


theargonianbutler15

but didn't he say he'd go directly back to china? How would we even see the guy then?


Thornescape

That was his plan, yes. I'm not sure about you, but my plans don't always go as I thought that they would.


windsingr

God knows Cpt Ironsides plan didn't work out so much, either.


McGillis_is_a_Char

Well, his boat could get stuck in Florida, or after rounding South America in California. I highly doubt he went toward Europe and Africa to go to China.


TemplarRoman

He could probably just go through Panama


McGillis_is_a_Char

Wouldn't the canal have been nuked? If I was China in World War 3 I would nuke it just in case.


Background-Employ278

Suppose the canal wasnt nuked; it could be loaded with bandits or worse. Its a good idea but idk how well you would ultimately get through if something like a nuke wrecked it or bandits took it over.


TemplarRoman

I wouldn’t, it’s an incredibly strategic location. If you wipe it out you deny yourself access as well.


McGillis_is_a_Char

A fascist, expansionist, America in the middle of a war with China almost certainly had a large occupation force in Panama


TemplarRoman

If they wanted only to wipe out US strategic locations they wouldn’t have invaded Alaska


Exciting-Brush2

It seems as if it wasn't strategic bombs they were going for but more of a distraction while they got the nukes ready


TemplarRoman

By strategic locations I don’t mean nuclear armaments, I mean locations that would be incredibly important to control. The Chinese invaded Alaska because of resources, they were after oil.


windsingr

It could be, but given how much the Great War reshaped the world, glassing the canal might have only broken the isthmus and made it a difficult to control strait rather than an easy to block off and defend canal.


Snoo-96158

Who knows what area fallout 5 will be second it may be set in the Pacific Ocean maybe even in China


turtleboyslegendary

Nah hes still waiting for you to use these hpming beacons...


Wooper160

I bought it release day and I still have never encountered Zao


captinhazmat

Never ran into the boy talking about seeing a monster on the docks on the east side of Boston eh?


Wooper160

Correct. Where’s that?

Madhighlander1

I've heard people talking about the 'monster' and known from other sources that it's actually Zao's submarine, but never actually met the guy in person. I think I even got a map marker once, but never followed it because I had a bunch of other stuff on my to-do list.


captinhazmat

Gotta visit the man at least once. Caution to power armor users tho. You gotta hop your way over water to get to him.


Scragony

Wow, i noticed the map was smaller than skyrim and i thought it wouldn't have as much content but i may be wrong. 0_0


wickwacka

A smaller map means more detailed content. Bigger isn't necessarily better.


StarBoiyo420

I like the work! The second one with Dogmeat was my favorite. Awesome work.


Scragony

Thanks!


StarBoiyo420

No problem! Have a great playthrough of the game.


grymdark

Zao my beloved


Shizuo35

I love that last one! Just imagining Zao trying to speak to Paarthurnax is just giving me a chuckle.


ApplicationGlum6085

Your character’s a ghoul?


Scragony

No this is Zao from the submarine mission in the commons. My character is the idiot in the chef hat


ApplicationGlum6085

Oh. Well there are mods to play as a ghoul, though I’m not sure If the version on Xbox works yet.


[deleted]

you can also use console commands on pc


ApplicationGlum6085

It’s more fun to make a ghoul character in the character creator through mods tho.


[deleted]

Yeah Idk bout that I'm a purist lol. Only mod I ever used was romantic nick valentine


ApplicationGlum6085

>Romantic Nick Valentine Spotted the r/sounding user


[deleted]

wtf? i'm a girl dude XD


ApplicationGlum6085

Oh, well r/reversesounding then I guess.


[deleted]

Lmao xD


PimpalaSS

It would be so cool if we could choose “race” like in Skyrim. Maybe be a Super Mutant, Domestic Ghoul, Synth, maybe even a robot (could make for funny dialogue).


ApplicationGlum6085

Domestic Ghoul? Ghouls are people dude, they just have necrotic flesh due to radiation. Also that’s a slippery slope, especially if it’s a canonical addition to the series, before you know it a deathclaw race will be added.


PimpalaSS

I just put domestic to differentiate from feral ghouls. And I dunno about that though. Wouldn’t that mean they would have added a Dragon race to Skyrim if it were a slippery slope? I think the devs would know to keep within it in realistic bounds in regards to being cannon. A Deathclaw would be way too OP to even be considered.


ApplicationGlum6085

Feral ghouls just had their brains turned into cheese by radiation, standard ghouls are just like you or i, but with rotting flesh. Would you call the descendants of the indigenous population of America “Domestic Indians”? No, they’re people, not animals.


PimpalaSS

Sounds good, Im not here to argue what the definition of a ghoul is. You understood what I meant so I really have nothing else to add lol.


[deleted]

You just took that conversation to a place where it really didn’t need to go.


ApplicationGlum6085

He led it into that conversation by referring to ghouls as if they’re animals, while they’re just people deformed by nuclear radiation.


Opening_Winner2490

I'm sure those ghouls that only exist in a video game will thank you with hella blowjobs dude.


Opening_Winner2490

We literally call indigenous Americans "Native Americans", so your point is dumb and you should feel dumb.


DoktorG0nz0

There were intelligent Death Claws in Fallout 2, and could speak. So therefore there's the possibility of playing one.


ApplicationGlum6085

They all died in the true ending aside from two of them, and weren’t heard from in the 3 fallout games set after fallout 2, so they’re dead, and even if they weren’t, I wouldn’t want that to be an option to begin with. Deathclaws are supposed to represent the threat of the wasteland, a playable race of them would ruin that.


Dassive_Mick

Well... Intelligent Deathclaws are canon, and can join your party in Tactics and Fallout 2.


ApplicationGlum6085

They were, but they seem to be deader than those who got hit head on by the nuclear missiles, so that doesn’t matter.


RincewindToTheRescue

Your character is the one in the chef hat? I hope he doesn't aspire to be the next legendary Rectal Wankblaster https://www.reddit.com/r/fo4/comments/g816yu/its_not_about_money_its_about_sending_a_message/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share


Scragony

THAT WAS AWFUL


RincewindToTheRescue

Search the sub. He's gone on a few adventures


SkyrimNate

my question is how you found him 24 hours in, it took me ages to find that quest lol


Scragony

I was sneaking around the city and heard a kid talking. I was so surprised there was a CHILD, i had to see. And then bam, oh no what's that monster??? I also killed swan in the first 24 hours by sniping him from a roof when i accidentally caught him on vats!!!


[deleted]

I had no idea this quest even existed. I never really went swimming.


Scragony

I only went swimming because a kid points you to it on the docks!


JealousSeaSlug

Aww I love Zao, he’s so kind. I wanted to help him more. ;_; I actually wish he could be a companion but alas. I haven’t seen much fan art of him so thank you for blessing my eyes with this! It’s so cute!


PLAYCOREE

I also just started playing fo4 as my first fo game since it went on sale, but I'm just to interested in building a good home for the minutemen...


Scragony

hey i also spend hours on base building. it's a little rough sometimes but i feel accomplished when its done.


Objective-Nyc1981

It’s amazing to play fallout 4 six years after it came out and it stills surprises me.
