I took Deacon to the Castle for the first time, and he said something like, "Great. The Minutemen are back. If you wanna avoid what happened last time, you'd better keep the redneck section in check."
I about died laughing. Then I realized what Deacon said was actually terrible . . . then I laughed somemore.
It really amuses me that Deacon doesn't like the Minutemen and Preston doesn't like the Railroad. They're both kinda hyprocrites for it.
Deacon thinks the Minutemen are small men with too much power -- yet that describes the RR almost exactly if the SS sides with them and helps them blow poeple up.
Meanwhile, Preston wants to protect all people but doesn't acknowledge that synths are people -- which is supposed to be ironic, the black guy being racist. It's the same way X6 -- the other black guy -- is basically a slave hunter/catcher.
Meanwhile, Glory is Harriet Tubman.
Preston does admit at one point that the Railroad doesn't sound "too bad." So he's one up on Deacon.
I love Deacon, though. He's the only follower who just makes me bust out laughing constantly, even if I heard the line before.
Deacon is now my favorite follower after Hancock. Dragging him and Hancock around together is actually pretty great.
I was doing the Liberty Prime quest, and the part where you meet the Atom priest protecting the nukes is really hilarious if you bring Hancock.
I didn't realize how much Hancock hated the Children of Atom until that moment.
