When I first faced Mechanist in new DLC,

I really liked his confidence and attitude. lol

..when I saw his true identity

first my feeling was mixed..

but it did give me pleasant surprise.

I was glad to find out Mechanist`s reasons after talking further with Mechanist.

I actually think New Mechanist is pretty great and likable.

I wish I could put him up to more tasks after the quest though..

Is it possible to not kill him?

Haha, yes.


Mechanist seems to give new Radiant quest as well after the main quest ends...


not sure how this part would be handled if he is dead.

This is the spoiler section.... so...

Yes, I loved that SHE was who she turned out to be! And it is very possible to talk her down.

Hilarious, she exploded into chunks still wearing the costume so I never knew she was a woman.

lol

Killing the Mechanist is not allowed, anyone who had done so must restart their game and play it right!

I dunno, after killing thousands of people, and quest lines requiring killing off other factions, it just seems to be a nice change of pace to not have to kill someone.

The Mechanist is terrific. Talking her down with a speech check and learning she never intended to cause as much chaos as she did is so... Fallout. Plus, now I'm fulfilling her original goal by stationing robot guards at all of my settlements and making sure they're actually not killing innocent people.

Apparently you can talk her down without a speech check if you talk to her as the Silver Shroud?

Isabel is another instance of a character just hitting all my buttons, even though I don't look at video game characters that way. One look as she was taking off her helmet and I was sold. Too bad the women I like aren't romance options.


As for her reasoning, I can definitely sympathize. She was trying to help; it's not her fault that the Robobrains we're flawed.

Oh yeah, let me just say the dungeon crawl through the Mechanist's Lair was one of the best in the game. The terminal entries were great, especially the ones in the Robobrain lab.

I actually enjoyed the last dungeon and battle quite a bit.


I tried to not use too much cheesy things... and by the time I dealt with Mechanist my power armor was out of both arm and one leg. lol



Robot explosions hurt. lol

I definitely like the new Mechanist. The revelation that she was a female was also neat. A shame you can't convince her to keep the costume though.

Oh, and I like how you used one of her robot's heads to get to her... that's similar to the Silver Shroud radio dramas where the Silver Shroud uses a robot's head to get to the Mechanist (if I remember the dramas right).

From what I heard, Ada gives you the radiant quests if the Mechanist dies.

Also, seems like the Mechanist gets in better mood if you compelte several of those quests (did not test it myself though).

she's cuuuuuuuuuuuuute )

hope she'll be a romance option (not through with all her dialogue yet)...

do you have to be the sliver shroud to talk her down? i put my custome in a trunk and cannt remember where.

I talked her out of her control room, but I guess jumping down to the ground level made her hostile so she is dead.......I'll replay it with another character at some point to find out what she would have said.

When I saw trade option in her dialogue I thought I can put any apparel on her.. lol


but it turned out to be barter option and not trade.

No, I did it with a hard speech check.

yeah, being a level 111 stealth robotics expert charisma bomb ladykiller definitely helps in this quest =)

Yes that was fun.

i actually died once when something blew me up by surprise and another time when i got backed into a corner.

i took my Silver Shroud costume for the funny voicecheck thing.

Not sure if this is supposed to happen or not but the super duper armoured and weapon equipped robot i made that opens the doors went missing part way through.

I couldn't find it anywhere but luckily had enough scrap to build a basic door opening one to get me the rest of the way.

After i built the replacement one the game asked me which settlement i wanted to send the missing one to.

I went to that settlement later but it wasn't there.

I wonder if it will ever turn up.

Yea I love the new Mechanist, she is really freaking awesome and I feel bad her entire plan of helping people blew up in her face. I spared her and now wish I could romance her

I killed her off as a BoS member and spare her as an Institute member. One because she's abusing technology and need to be killed to be made an example of, as the Institute, I save her because the Institute could use a mind like her on the time.

the romance in fallout needs more attention , right now it's pretty much non-existent

I like her--But I love the fact that the SS can keep her alive. Like, I was really shocked Bethesda added that in.

It'd be really cool if she became a companion. Even more cool if she played a role in the upcoming DLC Far harbor, though, that's unlikely.

Characters you can spare in the game:

No doubt forgot a few, but you could always spare people when it made sense for it to be possible. Being able to spare the Mechanist, especially after the Robobrain made it clear that (s)he is not evil, should come at no surprise at all.

I think I have a small crush on The Mechanist. She is cute, smart, and had her heart in the right place. Just needed to be more thorough/strict on the rules for the bots.
