Charlemagne19's Changes
* I'd have made the Sole Survivor visiting his/her sister in the town of Sanctuary versus being a married spouse and parent. Shaun is your nephew in this revised story rather than your son and you can have greater freedom in defining your relationship with them.
* I would have had the Gunners be available as a Faction to join versus the Minutemen. After you fight the early Raiders, one of their representatives gives you the option of joining them in killing Preston and the others.
You then start helping the Gunners take over various Settlements in the same way as the Minutemen with a protection racket. You would also get unique shops to add to the Settlements like "Slave Auction" and "Strange Meat Butcher Shop."
* Make the distinction between the personalities a bit more defined. If you're going to do a voiced protagonist don't half ass it. Have your character have Bastard, Paragon, and Humorous lines but put real emotion into them.
I wanted to FLIP OUT at the people who took my son in the original game/nephew too.
* Ending slides.
