    Question about end of Silver Shroud quest
    Does anyone know if it is possible to talk to Sinjin? Like maybe if you fulfill the optional assassination contract that Kendra had for that one random lady? All I know is he aggro'd immediately after I stepped out the elevator and would have killed Kent if I hadn't already had several VATS Crits banked and ready to go.
    If you're not wearing the Silver Shroud costume they immediately agro on you and try to kill him. If you are wearing it there's a long conversation with him beforehand.
    I was wearing the Silver Shroud costume though...But I had a different gun because even modded that silver submachine gun is terrible.. Oh and I was wearing coolguy sunglasses, maybe that counted as being out of costume.
    I was wearing coolguy sunglasses and a random weapon. They talked to me.

    Curie is pretty great for the brief time I've used her

    I still haven't taken Codsworth out once, he just seems so judgmental

    i don't have her yet but I like nick too much to swap right now

    if i play the game a 2nd time id probably use her but I typically just don't have it in me to play these types of games multiple times after i've learned where everything is

    Cait is totally fine but is kinda generic from what I've played with her

    Tough badass hard drinking drug doing lady with a tragic past

    Not that there's anything wrong with that but compared to Curie, Nick, Piper and Deacon she's not as novel

    And now, continuing a night of meeting assholes, I'm meeting with

    The Brotherhood aboard their airship

    I was kind of excited to learn that the Brotherhood was here to take out the Institute!

    ...but then Elder Maxson just had to go and tell me it was because they created Synths, who definitely aren't people, how dare you even suggest it

    I don't think we're going to get along, he and I

    I'm not really bothering to look for more companions because Piper got me right away by being a rather warm character with good animation and actual voice acting which is like a breath of freshest air in Bethesda Games.

    Hey, 10ish hours on my current lady and all I've done is be the mayor of a slowly growing Rocket Town (red rocket). I trade with the Abernathy's and Drumlin Diner, patrol the surrounding area for encounters, and watch the sunrise sometimes with Dogmeat. Completing the main quest, clearing the map, and hitting 90 it ain't, but I have myself a good time. I also just got a Ghoul settler, which was cool.

    Deacon affinity conversation spoilers
    Normally I'd be annoyed about characters lying to me, but I kinda find it endearing in Deacon because it's obvious that he's telling a tall tale, or it keeps me on my toes. I almost bought him claiming to be the real leader/founder of the Railroad (although that should have been an easier persuasion check) and now I'm wondering if he's really a Synth, too. But he's right, every faction is going to see reality through their own perception, actions speak louder than words.

    A second later I save the life of the same ghoul: Dislike!
    I inspire the ghoul to keep fighting for his beliefs: Like!

    Seems legit. He is all about loyalty and strength of character, etc. He is going to respond positively towards you espousing those virtues.

    Ghouls, Mutants, and Synths? They should all die though.

    I was really surprised when I got back to sanctuary from that mission and he immediately shot me in the face to death. Thought it was bug for a moment and then realized what I'd just done probably wouldn't sit well with him.

    Maybe minor companion spoilers?
    Are there any companions that you can eventually be locked out of getting? I don't think I made it very far into the BoS quests (I finished the mission where Danse sent me to collect the homing beacons, but that's it) and haven't gotten him as a companion yet, and then did the story part of Fort Hagen. Was I supposed to have recruited him before that?

    I'm also having trouble picking up Hancock, only in that I have no idea what the hell to do. I've done a bunch of stuff around Goodneighbor, including the Silver Shroud, so he definitely likes me, I'm just wondering what the trigger quest is.

    Hancock is great in that his personality traits are pretty lock-step with what many people play as. Likeable and level-headed, and pretty moderate with everything. This could also lead to him getting boring pretty fast, though.

    There's a list of around 1000 names Codsworth will actually say(not sure about other characters. I can't recall anyone else calling me John).

    Fuckface is indeed on that list.

    Spoilers up through Reunions, I guess
    How does the Brotherhood stuff change if you do all the stuff for Danse before the big-ass ship shows up?

    Does that questline just kinda stop cold, and they tell you to check in with him again once you see it?
