Hi, Winnie! (Cute name, btw!) I was wondering if you could write Fallout 4 reactions to a Sole that is BOUND AND DETERMINED to clean and fix up every single road she encounters - clearing up debris, chopping up fallen trees for resources, making bridges, filling in large cracks in the tarmac with cement until a better solution comes along, making signs and setting up better lighting/security points with Minutemen guards. This is basically me with mods and console commands, lol. It's a pet peeve.
Are... Are you me??Ā Half my mod load order is settlement/cleanup/etc mods...
(Also thank you! Iām honored you think itās a cute name~)
Ada:
Sheās quite pleased with Soleās efforts to beautify the Commonwealth. Itās ridiculous that most folks havenāt bothered to tidy up their homes-- especially considering how much useful stuff can be found in the debris. Sheās also proud of Sole for trying to make things safer for the people of the Commonwealth.
Ada will help Sole clean up, picking up the bigger items. If thereās something good that can be repurposed, sheāll make sure to let Sole know!
Cait:
It never bothered Cait, the state of the world. Itās what she grew up with, after all. She gets annoyed when Sole spends so much time picking up trash and fixing stuff. Cait will complain and beg Sole to move on, wanting to do literally anything else.
If Sole insists on cleaning the Commonwealth, Cait will wander off to make her own fun. Or trouble.
Codsworth:Ā
Heās over the moon. Frankly, heās sick of his cleaning subroutines firing off every time he and Sole explore the world. Itās about time somebody did something! How could people live like animals in such filth?
Codsworth will congratulate Sole on their efforts, and do everything he can to help them!Ā
Curie:
She didnāt think much of the state of the world, until she noticed how Sole would go through an area and clean it up. Perhaps she was just too preoccupied with her research, or maybe she didnāt realize how the dust and grime affected her non-body. But Curie sure took notice of how nice things looked compared to the rest of the land!
If Sole wants/needs help, sheās glad to do so. Otherwise, sheāll just keep them company and discuss research or other interesting things to pass time.
Danse:
He admires their dedication to improving the world. As long as Sole doesnāt get sidetracked during missions, heās fine with it. Most civilians donāt seem to have the discipline to keep things tidy, which annoys him... Itās a bit of a pet peeve, if heās honest. After all, life is terrible enough. Why make it worse with piles of garbage and broken structures?
Danse will help Sole keep things clean, using his expert organizational skills to do so.Ā
Deacon:
Heās always joked about starting a maid service after he retires from the Railroad. So naturally, when Sole began fixing and cleaning everything they could get their mitts on, he was fully supportive.
Granted, he doesnāt have a lot of time to help Sole... But heāll try and keep them company if heās free. Deacon will also find a way to put a team together for Sole, to help them get more done.
Dogmeat:
Any time spent with Sole is good time! Heāll happily run about as Sole works tirelessly, chewing on a baseball or teddy bear occasionally. Dogmeat will occasionally beg for pets or attention, but tries his best to keep out of Soleās way.Ā
Heāll bring Sole some cool treasures he finds in the trash, too-- a colorful hat, a stuffed animal, a locket, and whatever assorted goodies catch his eye.
Hancock:
Another companion whoās fine with the state of things. It never bothered him much before, but he understands why it would bug Sole so much. Hell, post-war America must feel like a totally different dimension to Sole. Heās supportive, though, and hangs out with Sole while they do their thing.Ā
He also tries to keep his residence a bit cleaner from then on, out of consideration for Sole.Ā
Longfellow:
He doesnāt get it, and heāsĀ ātoo oldā to start caring at this point. While he might tease Sole about their penchant for home improvement, itās all in good fun.Ā
Longfellow will usually make use of the downtime and hunt, or drink. If Sole requests help, though, heās kind enough to give it.
MacCready:
The guy lived in a cave town for years. Does he really care how things look?Ā
No.Ā
That being said, he eventually learns to appreciate the changes. Itās nice to not trip over huge cracks in the road every five seconds, yāknow? MacCready will also help Sole pick through more promising piles of junk for ammo or valuables, earning the nicknameĀ ārat manā in the process.
Nick Valentine:
He vaguely remembers what the world used to look like, and appreciates it immensely. So, when Sole decides to bite the bullet and improve the world, heās pretty happy! It seems to mean a lot to Sole, so he does whatever he can to support them.
As long as thereās no active cases to work, Nick will help Sole and chat with them to pass time. He hopes that their work inspires others to take better care of the Commonwealth.
Piper:
Initially, she thinks that Sole is just trying to bring the old world back... Which is a clear waste of time. But Piper comes to realize that they arenāt trying to revert the Commonwealth-- theyāre simply trying to improve the lives of others. She feels a bit ashamed, that she had so little faith in them.Ā
Piper would never tell them that, of course. Sheās happy theyāre trying to move on, and that theyāre making the world a better place.Ā
Porter Gage:
Canāt be assed with this. Itās annoying, especially considering how many other things Sole could be doing. Theyāre the Overboss, for fuckās sake. The safety improvements and raider checkpoints are the only thing he appreciates, because they reduce the chances of dying. Thatās it.
Heāll take care of business while Sole is busy... Or spend time cleaning his weapons for the next job.Ā
Preston:
Heās inspired by Soleās efforts. While heās never really had a chance to clean things up himself (considering how he and the last Minutemen were on the run for months), heās wanted to for awhile. Preston never liked how dirty things were... Plus, the cracked roads and unsafe structures were pretty bad.
Preston is happy to help Sole, and organizes spare Minutemen into shifts to help them out. Heās hands-on, too, though. What sort of friend would he be if he had Sole do all the work?
Strong:
Bored to tears as Sole works their magic. Super Mutants donāt exactly care about how the land looks. Their living areas are full of trash and gore, after all. And safety??? Who cares???
Strong wanders off, and doesnāt understand why Sole is enjoying this.
X6-88:
He must admit, Soleās work definitely improves the Commonwealth. Itās not nearly as clean as the Institute, but itās something. While X6-88 doesnāt necessarily enjoy the Commonwealth, he has to spend plenty of time there whether he likes it or not. So, heāll take what he can get.Ā
X6-88 isnāt keen on helping Sole, but if they ask him to, heāll obey. Usually, he spends the time tinkering with tech or, surprisingly, reading.Ā
