It depends on what type of character I play - yes, I'm that kind of roleplaying nerd.
My current character (who is basically an evolved version of the character I played when I first got Fallout 3, who in turn was an adaption of my favourite character concept in all games of the last ten years, that on the other hand is a blend of my own personality and the kind of person I'd like to be) hasn't been out of the Vault for very long, so she hasn't met too many people yet.
- In the Vault, she liked
Old Lady Palmer a lot, because she always told her stories when she babysitted her on the evenings when James had to/wanted to work long (that happened quite often).
- She has respect for
Agatha, because she manages to survive alone in the middle of nowhere, despite her age and her loneliness.
- She also likes
Manya, because she knows so much about the history of Megaton, manages to stay sane, despite having to put up with Nathan everyday and even though people refer to her when inquired about the latest rumors, Manya doesn't gossip (unlike for example Vera Weatherly, who really annoys my character - mostly because of the way she treats Seagrave Holmes)
- She has fallen in love with
Vance the first time she met him. She's not even sure what it is about him, but she can't get him out of her head, despite the fact that his... ahem... diet makes her very uncomfortable. And there's of course also the problem of Holly, but maybe there's a way around that... :ninja:
- One of her favourite people is certainly
Seagrave Holmes. He truly cares about Rivet City and is putting a lot of work into the "old girl", despite his sickness and he invents cool stuff (did you know he invented the Railway Rifle?!). She knows about his past dealings with less honorable people, but believes him, that he has put that behind him. Also he has this wonderful dialogue when asked about the history of Rivet City after mentioning that Vera Weatherly spoke highly of him: "She did? Well, I suppose I have picked up a lot over the years. I mean, no one's spent more time tinkering on this old girl than I have! Oh, Rivet City, I mean. Not Vera. I mean, Vera's not old. And I haven't tinkered on her, obviously. Not that I wouldn't... I mean, umm... No."
My character would realy like to bring Seagrave and Moira together, she thinks that would be a match made in heaven.
- Another NPC my character likes a lot is
Flak. She can talk shop with him about guns for hours and he always reserves interesting weapons for her (at least she thinks so). Shrapnel on the other hand is someone she doesn't talk to when she can avoid it - and the feeling is mutual. She only goes to their shop, when she knows that Flak is running it.
-
Pinkerton is also one of the people she likes and respects. He has a bit of an attitude, but she thinks that is justified, because he really is a very gifted scientist in many fields. She doesn't visit him too often, because she knows he values his seclusion, but they get along very well, when she does. I don't think she'll tell him about her fathers involvement in Project Purity though (when she finds out about that someday), because she doesn't think that their friendship would survive that.
-
Daring Dashwood is someone she likes a lot too - I don't think I need to explain why, do I?
- Someone who is not on your list, but is a person my character will care a lot about when she meets him is
Bryan Wilks. Because of his story, she'll relate to him and will visit him whenever she's in Rivet City.
She hasn't found
Dogmeat yet (not sure if she ever will), but if/when she does, I can imagine she'll like him.
As a teenager, she had a crush on
Butch (who hadn't had the slightest interest in her and dated Christine Kendall instead :violin: ), but I'm not sure if she'll still like him, when she meets him again somewhere along the way.
Hm, after reading my list, I notice that my character (who like I said does resemble myself to a certain degree), likes almost only old people and a few middle aged men. And she's fallen in love with a charismatic yet a bit shady and ambiguous cannibal. Should I be worried?? :blink:
