Although settlement system in FO4 did take away some other possibilities as others discussed, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

It was fun building structure, living there.. and see attackers attack and defenders defend.

However, I cannot help myself from finding most of my settlers... pretentious and fake.



I thought it was general belief that nobody in post-apocalyptic wasteland is innocent.

They must have stole and killed to get that far in their life especially out of big city.



As far as I am concerned.. majority of my settlers should be retired raiders, gunners, scavengers... who got tired of their extreme life style.


I don`t expect them to build brand new raider city or new gunners hideout or anything...

but why do they only have one set of personality / behavior?

Couldn`t some of them have little bit of raider attitude or at least act like fully grown wastelander that went through hardship unimaginable before settling down?

I have built all my settlements quite extensively.. but every single person in there feels same, act same and behave same.

Worst thing they can tell me is "I cannot talk I got work to do.".. although they do try kill me if I fail pickpocketing.

They are just sheep.. being bred by me. Not real people with past and personality.

I do get tired of them acting so innocent and nice.. when they should know better about commonwealth than myself.

Maybe I am asking too much, but I hope this gets addressed if future Bethesda game decides to continue the settlement system.

Hope you're not a synth here to spy on me.

Haha,

you know I suspect everyone who says that first to be synth spy..


In the end, I cannot tell.


I killed a settler with 10 energy resistance and she had no synth component on her corpse...

That's kind of the point, is it not?

Considering how many of my settlers have raider armor on, I assumed one of two things. They're either retiring from their life of crime, or they've retired someone from their life of crime, haha. Either way they must be tough, and ruthless.
