A Question of Timing -
I've been thinking a lot lately about the timing of my Sole Survivor's story, both in terms of the game events and in terms of what comes after. And all that thinking got me curious, in turn, about how other folks envision everything playing out.
We have polls, so I figured, you know, why not just ask?
For the sake of the poll, we're talking specifically about the time between the Sole Survivor thawing/waking up in the future (the start of the quest "Out of Time") and the game-canon completion of their business with the Institute (the end of the quest "The Nuclear Option" or "Nuclear Family").
This is strictly about headcanon / personal canon here; there's no need to boot up a save and check the date on the Pip-Boy, as the poll is simply asking how long you imagine/feel these events took to play out. You are absolutely welcome and encouraged to guesstimate/go by vibes if you don't have a firm timeline in mind.
If your personal canon diverges slightly from the game canon but has a roughly equivalent beginning and/or end point, it's A-Okay to vote as normal in the poll 👍.
If your personal canon is so drastically different that it has no beginning and/or end point that is even vaguely equivalent to those in canon, please select the "Diverging Story / Show Results / Nuance / Bald" option.
If you have multiple personal canons/headcanons, please vote in accordance with whichever one you'd consider your main or favorite. If you have no main/favorite, vote according to your most recently developed personal canon.
As is always the case with my posts, I'd absolutely love to hear your thoughts, clarifications, and other additions in the comments! <3
In your personal headcanon, how much time passed between the day that your Sole Survivor defrosted and the completion of the main quest?
A: Less Than / Up To 1 Month
B: More Than 1 Month, Less Than / Up To 2 Months
C: More Than 2 Months, Less Than / Up To 4 Months
D: More Than 4 Months, Less Than / Up To 6 Months
E: More Than 6 Months, Less Than / Up To 9 Months
F: More Than 9 Months, Less Than / Up To 1 Year
G: More Than 1 Year, Less Than / Up To 1.5 Years (18 Months)
H: More Than 1.5 Years (18 Months), Less Than / Up To 2 Years
I: More Than 2 Years, Less Than / Up To 3 Years
J: More Than 3 Years, Less Than / Up To 5 Years
K: More Than 5 Years
Diverging Story / Show Results / Nuance / Bald
Regarding DLC Stories -
I've also been wondering about when folks time the out-of-Commonwealth stories (Far Harbor & Nuka-World) in their personal canons. Does your Sole Survivor explore and resolve those stories before completing the business of the main quest, or are those Later Problems?
Unfortunately, as we're limited to one poll per post/post addition here, the follow-up polls must be added as reblogs/additions.
