because apparently i am a glutton for punishment and didn't make a save before starting this garbage ass mod I am livetooting it now. because oh god I HOPE, I HOPE this is building towards a big fuckin' subversion and it'll be actually clever and funny but so far NNOOOOOPE. ugh.

So here we go. I have just received a message from a strange wanderer NPC who does not speak at all, from a man named, and I shit you fuckin' not, Commander James DESPOT, who says the Brotherhood of Steel cannot be trusted (I mean... they're not great, but ... for real, not like the NCR are much better)...

...that said the lead elder of the BoS is called Elder Guile, so...

...fuck me this is some 80s SatAM shit here.

okay and this isn't even seemingly lore appropriate because the Brotherhood of Steel npc I've found is some kind of abusive religious dickwaffle or some shit as opposed to the outgrowth of a military force that found out what the fuck the Enclave were doing, went fucking rogue as shit because "HELL NO WE ARE NOT DOING THAT SHIT", and fucking rebelled against their government for being shitty fashy pieces of shit.

granted okay as time's gone on they've kinda... suffered "Adaptation Decay" if you'll forgive the use of a trope, and it's kinda turned INTO a sort of pseudo religious thing where they horde technology because they can't trust anybody else with it and want to stop it being used to end the world again, but you know, they're not like hyperevangelical douchénozzles usually.

(unless bethesda writes them I guess)

this... whole thread is gonna be kinda shitting on this mod I'm fucking stuck in. I apologise for this but short of loading up the mod in fucking FNVedit and working out what bloody quests to complete so I can jsut fucking LEAVE the damn thing, I'm stuck here so if I gotta suffer with this you're gonna hear me complain (even though this is entirely my fault)

Oh no.

oh god so apparently there's this quest where I have to go talk to this fucking John Despot or whatever his name is. fuck. and it's taking me on a trek through... god only knows WHAT??? and it's a fucking ugly mess, and...

also another HUGE problem. There's a bunch of sidequests, and yet NOTHING. NOTHING fucking explains anything.

This writing is so bad oh my god.
