"What in the Goddamn?"

Whew, that title’s a mouthful. 

Kristine is my first Fallout 4 playthrough where I’ve sided fully with the Minutemen, so I’ve spent a lot of this playthrough focusing on gaining and building settlements. Like, all of it. I only leave to get more wood and steel because I’ve scrapped every building, tree, and car in multiple settlements (thank god for Scrap Everything). 

Being so invested in the Minutemen and settlement building this time around, I got to wondering: how would the Minutemen, especially pre-Castle and pre-Radio Freedom, operate? Even if you clear out an area, raiders sometimes respawn, such as in Concord, or an area can become more dangerous after the player interacts with it, such as Thicket Excavations. What’s a wasteland settler to do, and more importantly, what are the Minutemen going to do about it? These questions led to the creation of the Minuteman Guide to Commonwealth Travel, known more colloquially by the settlers as the Blue Book.

Every other companion:

Something a little different. I recently attended a Fallout Photoshoot as an NCR Veteran Ranger from Fallout New Vegas. Thank you to everyone who attended and making it an absolute blast. Your cosplay’s were fantastic; I can’t speak highly enough about them. 

And of course thank you so much to our wonderful photographer.
