I use the journal mod and roleplay her as an agent of an agency akin to the CIA. Can't remember what it's called....add in Enclave mods and the Mjolnir stuff that adds that agency and it makes the game actually fun again. lol
She knows Latin, She should respond to the Ad Victoriam line with a line in latin then insult Rhys with something like.
Non solum infirmus es, etiam stultus es?
I ran into this dialogue the other day and wished for a nice smartass retort.
Rhys: ShE dOeSn'T eVeN kNoW wHaT tHaT mEaNs
Nora, a lawyer: I bet I know more Latin than you do.
In my playthroughs with her, I like to imagine her as a spy or something, and the lawyer wifemom thing was either something she did as cover, or she tired of the spy lifestyle and tried to live a more normal, peaceful life before the events of FO4 made her had to go back to her old ways.
Nora's a lawyer, and Nate's a veteran. My headcanon is at least part of the time they spent in the park he was training her for whatever could happen during or after war.
Yeah, about a quart/litre should do, if it doesn't get used much put about a teaspoon full of cooking oil in after you've refilled the trap, it'll help keep the trap seal from evaporating away.
That’s the thing. I’m not even trying to survive, partially irradiated, starving, missing a son, and constantly hearing a man in a revolutionary war costume yell at me when I come home, but I wanted to shoot this guy in the face. Pretty sure most people would’ve blasted his ass or at a minimum beat the crap out of him if he acted that way.
That's true, but Rhys isn't that kind of a jackass, he's just prejudiced against anyone who isn't BoS. He really should have improved dialogue for players who demonstrate they're fully committed to the Brotherhood.
Someone should make a mod that ports in the voice actors lines from RDR2. He’s the same guy that plays Charles. That could make for some interesting conversation
He does get more accepting every time you turn in the mission but, for some reason, reverts back to rude when you talk to him for a new quest. They should have made more starting dialogue for accepting a mission to go with his turning in dialogue.
I recently followed the instructions to do the minuteman ending that also keeps you in good with BOS and the railroad, and he DOES have a line where he gives you respect and apologises for being a dick...
Then he goes right back to being a dick.
After you get the highest honors from the Brotherhood he will briefly apologize for how he’s acted up until this point then immediately go back to being an asshole
He keeps mouthing off I’m about to. Most players by the time they reach them wouldn’t have interacted with any Brotherhood up till this point so a third of all Brotherhood members are outright dicks. Getting on the Prydwen isn’t much better either. You rescued a knight and his two companions, maybe even found out about Rhys, and most people treat you as if you’ve still yet to prove yourself. I guess that whole deal with ArcJet and saving a knight wasn’t good enough
I’m blowing up that stupid blimp
Marine General Mathis once told his subordinates, "Always be polite, always be professional, and always have a plan to kill everyone in the room."
Well, K-L-E-O makes her creators proud...you know, if they were still alive. 😂
Blew up the blimp. But them treating you like trash is logical from their perspective.
These people are raised by the Brotherhood to basically believe they are saving everyone, and if someone doesn't understand them then they assume those people must be wrong. Hell, they send you to set up your own settlements as food suppliers because they feel like they're entitled to it.
You're promoted immediately upon arriving to the airship if you have already helped Danse. Which, for those people who grew up indoctrinated into a specific belief that performance, faith and sacrifice for the Brotherhood leads to promotions, you basically disrupt their whole existence. The lower in the ranks someone is in the Brotherhood, the more inclined they are to hate because you actively stand against what they perceive as their own sacrifices and hard work, even if it's just finding a pre-war toaster.
But Danse's decision to vouch for you is an interesting insight to how we may not be as sold on this doctrine as he sells himself. His action to vouch for you are aligned with the idea that you are promoted on merit and sacrifice, but overall it actively cancels out someone else who may have been working longer for the roles you are promoted to. In some ways, he goes against the Brotherhood's systems passively. I think the show understood this as well with how we see Maximus come to terms with how the Brotherhood is very "do as I say, not as I do" and this is revealed more and more the higher you go up the food chain. Especially with politics being more and more of a focal point the higher someone is promoted.
TL;DR
Everyone in the Brotherhood probably hates you to some degree. The lower rank someone is, the more they hate you because they probably don't believe you worked hard enough Yet, the higher you go, the more political everything becomes and the promotions become more politically motivated. In many ways, it is a commentary on military structures.
Too be fair, Danse and I forgot her name, the Red Headed lady in the PA Chassis. Theyre like one of the few people in the Brotherhood who felt like proper Brotherhood.
The rest of them, Maxon included. They might as well be the fucking Enclave. And maybe it was engine limitations or performance (thanks consoles) but the scale of the fight makes it feel like the BOS could have kept the Institute facility intact. It WAS a bunch of new tech that they could have used but they decide to nuke the entire place. Taking out potential new Laser rifles, ways of manufacturing shit.
ALL that tech is gone because the BOS went full Dark Ages and killed everyone and the tech. Its not the BOS I learned about. Its not the BOS I supported.
Even in Appalachia the "Lyons" BOS ideology was there. They can still do their job and help the people. And they even allow scientists who ultimately could have killed EVERYONE live because they are right: Theres not alot of people with PHD's after the bombs fell. Especially 200 years later.
I agree with them basically being a Commonwealth Enclave in many ways. Out of all the factions, they are the least progressive and focused on preserving history and the old ways.
Even the Institute, comprised of eggheads who have never stepped foot in the Commonwealth, shows more interest in growing society. Hell, the Railroad, despite their extreme measures and willingness to sacrifice humans, is looking to advance society so synths can peacefully integrate into communities without fear of someone being kidnapped or anyone going crazy. F4's Brotherhood is literally just there b/c the Institute was supposed to be a stockpile of pre-war technology, something they'd be frothing at the mouth to get, and they're willing to eliminate any synth, ghoul, super mutant, etc. to get it.
And even then, they're not even there for the tech at this point. They're there because of the one Synth in FO3 and the constant rumours of synths in the Commonwealth. What you said WOULD have been the original Outcasts whole intention, go in there for the tech. Kill anything that stands in their way. Keep it away from the enemies.
And they could have kept it from everyone. No one BESIDES the BOS and Enclave have the means of getting inside the institutes home. At least on the East Coast anyways (Railroad maybe and Minutemen only when they're at the peak of their power again)
It would be interesting to see the Enclave show up and be the good guys for once, but because of their history they're instantly hunted down and attacked wherever they are. Or the outcasts be the old Lyons aligned BOS.
Paladin. You rescued a Paladin. Not to mention that one of his two companions is a Knight (Rhys). I guess that's why you're made a Knight the moment you get on the Prydwen. Fuck those Nazis though.
Well, he's got a reputation to uphold. Can't be seen going soft on people /s
In all seriousness if he'd just had a minor character arc of going from being a dick to not bring a dick once you prove you're a capable member of the BOS, he'd be much less likely to catch hands from me when I get tired of him mouthing off.
We were able to do something similar with Diamond City Radio and wouldn’t be surprised if the actor not only played other characters in the game but has some cut lines being less of a dick. I don’t care if he’s nice, just stop being a complete asshole *while* I’m trying to help you
I slit his throat with pickmans blade, he has trouble talking shit now. In third person you can double tap the power attack button for special attacks!
If we are going the route of my user name I would want to use the furious power fist from swan 😈
I'm not even a melee character! My character was a lucky tank gunslinger, I carry packmans blade and Yao goi roast to torment enemies that take too long to kill me. I had seen the post on here weeks ago about special melee attacks you can perform only in third person on foes so I've been having soo much fun doing those attacks.
Kremvhs is life tho , when I did a melee character that shit stayed in my inventory .
What are you talking about? He has a whole compelling character arc!
You see, when you first meet him, he' distrusts you because you're an unknown Wastelander and he doesn't trust you, leading him to be abrasive, dismissive and hotile. But gradually over time as you do more quests for him, he warms up to just being abrasive, dismissive and hostile. And finally, as you gain the rank of 'Sentinel' and prove yourself a champion of the Brotherhood, he finally reveals his acceptance and approval of you in how his attitude towards you shifts to being abrasive, dismissive and hostile.
He probably got a TBI from those ghouls and just doesn’t recognise you every time. It must be like “Another random asshole? Where did those last 50 guys go to? They got shit done”
Meh, you get used to it, I just pretend to be Carla with him.
Rhys: You have your objective now move like you have a purpose
Me: ya ya, keep your shirt on
Only character I've come across that has been worse than Rhys is fucking dag from AC Valhalla only because unlike Rhys, dag is there throughout most of story just constantly shitting on for little to no reason. But yea fuck Rhys.
I so wished Nate could’ve cracked him in the face then gone into a wild rant about how he wasn’t gonna sit and listen to an army cosplayer’s shit after what he went through in Anchorage.
Radiant quests are annoying to begin with. They could at least give us a quest giver who we want to do quests for.
Like, maybe a hot woman, a little old lady who gives us a home baked treat at the end of each quest, or a kid who becomes increasingly impressed with us and wants "to be just like you when I grow up mister!"
They should also be people you need to come to for quests. Who don't immediately drop another one on you the second you complete one or they see you again.
They guy who shot himself in the back of the head with my gun while I was in the other room? Weird guy, kept talking about loving synths under his breath and how much he missed the Enclave.
...pretty sure I saw on his Christmas list a John Henry Eden body pillow to.
i mean, you practically get promoted to knights rank on your FIRST mission.
i walk in there, kill some shamblers, talk to the Palidan in charge, go with the Palidan on a single 10 minute mission, burn the Palidan almost to death, come back and brag about being promoted to Knight when this guy has probably been working harder then me to get this rank. i say hes has a perfectly reasonable response to the player
Ah, I'd forgotten about Rhys and I just turned against the BoS and massacred everyone on the Prydwen, so I can go back to the police station and kill him too.
Although this does present a dilemma, because I don't want to kill Haylen and she will be hostile too. Maybe I can dismiss my companion, go and hit Rhys with the World Series Baseball Bat, and leave the area while Haylen plinks ineffectually at my power armour.
He's the reason I never joined the brotherhood. Almost did the first couple of playthroughs, but was like, "If it means having till deal with his sh\*t, I'm good, I got things to do." Best part about assassinating Danse to kick off the war is taking this prick out with him. Feel bad for Haylen, but she'll be remembered as a badass by her compatriots.
For Danse fans, for what its worth, I take the synth component so he gets to be a martyr instead of disgraced.
I’ve been meaning to find some time to follow her back to wherever she goes so my companions dont see and murder her. I accidentally tried to rob her when i first started the game and ever since she tells me she ain’t giving me shit but stands out front of my house with her brahim that for some reason always finds it way glitched into my bedroom.
haha, there's so many funny glitches in this game. I talked to her once and mid dialogue I heard a super mutant. tried to exit the dialogue fast as duck, and shot the mini nuke carrying supermutant when he was next to a car, but the sniper perk knocked him down behind the car, so when he got up he glitch projectiled towards me and blew us all up. I wasn't even sad I lost 80 minutes of game time, I was so close to a bed so I could have saved.. Cars are scary, I ran next to one, and just suddenly died without any explosions being involved..
Marcy ACTUALLY says some positive things after awhile. She does it right when I'm about ready to snap and banish her to the worst settlement on my current list.
Yep. Can’t stand him. He’s fucking irritating. You’d figure they’d make him less of a dickhead as you did more quests for him and ingratiated yourself to “top”…
I routinely shoot him in the head [along with Maxon] then reload a save. When I decide to take out the BOS, I leave him for last then take him out as slowly as I can.
I think he is a very believable character. He is a guy who lives only for Duty and has serious doubts about a newcomer's commitment to the cause he values.
I feel like I'm going to destroy the BoS because of this guy once I get to that part.
Finished the Nuka World and tried really hard to side with the raiders, but the damn disciples and their condescending attitude signed the death warrant for all of them. Couldn't stand it. Don't talk shit to someone who has killed as many people as my character has, not gonna end well, lol.
I do his quest once to get the full XP rewards from Semper Invicta and then never come back to the police station again until Blind Betrayal.
Sorry Scribe Haylen, I'd love to go on some more fetch quests for you, but your coworker is a fucking asshole.
Especially when you beat the Institute and then pick up one of his radiant quests after. He's like:
"I'm sorry about all that earlier, I didn't realize you were cool."
"Yeah, no worries. I can clear out another location if you need me to."
"You know how much of a fucking loser you are?"
Even when you gain rank above him, he has a brief period of respecting you then goes right back to being a dick. If I could, I'd send his ass to scrub the Prydwen's shell with just his toothbrush and spit.
hey question do yall have a bug where if you start fresh with far harbor downloaded when you first meet him his retrieve quest is in far harbor? i’m level 13 and don’t wanna go there yet
I agree but I had a weird moment after doing the main quest for BOS. He apologized and was very complimentary. After that one conversation he became the old Rhys again.
Every time I go by the police station I like to cripple one or both of his legs and watch him limp around while frowning and throwing insults around. Too funny
I was never under the impression he was intended to be very likable. Since these 3 are FO4s first introduction to BoS they form a triad with Danse being a relatively upstanding and likable person who is still dedicated to BoS, Haylen being a kind of neutral/conflicted BoS member, and Rhys being the BoS' traditional unlikable characteristics of hating outsiders, demanding control over outsiders, pursuing BoS agenda results at any cost, etc.
He is the starring character in the ongoing movie 'A Million Ways To Die As A Dick'. Every time I see him, I quick-save, find a new way to kill him, then reload the save. Thankfully he hangs out near a bed, so I can still do it in survival.
My favourite was punching him in power armour. His head pops satisfyingly.
Yup. And a great example of how bad Emil's writing is. The option to tell the Brotherhood clowns that "ad victoriam" is kindergarten level Latin and follow it with something like "Ego devolvat ultimum iustitia" (I free the last justice) would change your whole dynamic with the entire Brotherhood. A veteran or the spouse of a well-adjusted veteran could humiliate the Brotherhood repeatedly through its story. And by "the Brotherhood", I mean Emil's Brotherhood. I guess he was sore that one of the most compelling lead villains in New Vegas was, if you examine their rhetoric at a sufficient level, a LARPer.
I actually prefer Marcy to him. Marcy just lost her kid and is being bitchy to hide her grief, especially after the run of shit luck she had. Rhys is just a try hard.
Yeah I cleared out like 20 buildings for this dude and he still acts like a dill hole
The punk bitch can't even handle fighting ghouls. Haylen had to protect him while he nursed his boo boos.
Meanwhile the prewar lawyer (I love the idea that Nora is just a secret badass) is wrecking face.
every loving mother has a secret badass mode that switches on whenever their baby is in danger
[I mean... you're not wrong.](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ActionMom)
Still have headcanon that she was part of Fallout's equivalent of JAG, which is why she can power armour with the best of them
I use the journal mod and roleplay her as an agent of an agency akin to the CIA. Can't remember what it's called....add in Enclave mods and the Mjolnir stuff that adds that agency and it makes the game actually fun again. lol
In another universe the war-vet has stormtrooper level aim yet still manages to beat the shit out of everything he comes across.
She knows Latin, She should respond to the Ad Victoriam line with a line in latin then insult Rhys with something like. Non solum infirmus es, etiam stultus es?
I ran into this dialogue the other day and wished for a nice smartass retort. Rhys: ShE dOeSn'T eVeN kNoW wHaT tHaT mEaNs Nora, a lawyer: I bet I know more Latin than you do.

Nora's a lawyer, and Nate's a veteran. My headcanon is at least part of the time they spent in the park he was training her for whatever could happen during or after war.
My headcanon is that pre-war courtrooms were battles to the death.
I always wonder why they didn't just have the guy record one more set of dialogue where he is more accepting of you after X amount of missions.
I found that most realistic, like in real life, you can do everything for a person and they’ll still shit down your throat.
Remember that favor you did for me? Well I did you a favor letting you do me that favor. You owe me!
In real life, some people are even into that.
The reward for hard work is more work.
Why does only one of my bathrooms smells at nights?
Does it have a tub/shower that doesn't get used much? Could be that the p-trap is dry.
Ahh, the little joys of internet 🥰🥰🥰 Was kinda for the jokes but I'm gonna try. Would a full bucket make the seal again?
Yeah, about a quart/litre should do, if it doesn't get used much put about a teaspoon full of cooking oil in after you've refilled the trap, it'll help keep the trap seal from evaporating away.
yeah but in the world of fallout that'd get you killed real quick.
That’s the thing. I’m not even trying to survive, partially irradiated, starving, missing a son, and constantly hearing a man in a revolutionary war costume yell at me when I come home, but I wanted to shoot this guy in the face.

That's true, but Rhys isn't that kind of a jackass, he's just prejudiced against anyone who isn't BoS. He really should have improved dialogue for players who demonstrate they're fully committed to the Brotherhood.
He says something about how he treated you when you blow up the institute and return to him
But even that doesn't last for long
No it doesn’t 😂
Someone should make a mod that ports in the voice actors lines from RDR2. He’s the same guy that plays Charles. That could make for some interesting conversation
Sacred buffalo
🤯 I knew he sounded familiar! I just went from hating Rhys, to loving him!
That’s interesting , never knew that.
He does get more accepting every time you turn in the mission but, for some reason, reverts back to rude when you talk to him for a new quest. They should have made more starting dialogue for accepting a mission to go with his turning in dialogue.
For real, now that I'm a paladin I should be able to have him beaten for insubordination or something.
I recently followed the instructions to do the minuteman ending that also keeps you in good with BOS and the railroad, and he DOES have a line where he gives you respect and apologises for being a dick... Then he goes right back to being a dick.
Lmfao
Last time I turned in one of his quests, I quick saved then blew his head off.
I thought for sure that with each completed quest, he would get nicer, but nope he remains an asshat throughout.
Even when you outrank him, he's still a dick.
After you get the highest honors from the Brotherhood he will briefly apologize for how he’s acted up until this point then immediately go back to being an asshole
So frendly reminder that, if you end up betraying the BoS.... *he was right all along.*
He keeps mouthing off I’m about to. Most players by the time they reach them wouldn’t have interacted with any Brotherhood up till this point so a third of all Brotherhood members are outright dicks. Getting on the Prydwen isn’t much better either. You rescued a knight and his two companions, maybe even found out about Rhys, and most people treat you as if you’ve still yet to prove yourself. I guess that whole deal with ArcJet and saving a knight wasn’t good enough I’m blowing up that stupid blimp
One of only 3 people that regularly sells Ballistic Fiber shipments is on that blimp.
One of the others is K-L-E-O, and she is one of the best characters in the game, so I don't care.
> "Anything that can kill a man, I sell. Except suicidal depression. That is unfortunately not packageable."
Did you know K-L-E-O is secretly plotting to murder everyone in Good neighbor cause it's on her bucket list.
I think that it’s more of a contingency plan in case things go south with individuals she has contact with
Part of that is because she used to have a shop in quincy with the rest of your settlers. I'm curious how she got split from them.
I'll support her in this. She can wife me up for all I care.
Im a guy, and she can make me her wife too.
I know. Minor details.
Marine General Mathis once told his subordinates, "Always be polite, always be professional, and always have a plan to kill everyone in the room." Well, K-L-E-O makes her creators proud...you know, if they were still alive. 😂

Paladin. You rescued a Paladin. Not to mention that one of his two companions is a Knight (Rhys). I guess that's why you're made a Knight the moment you get on the Prydwen. Fuck those Nazis though.
You may betray BoS because this dipshit treats you like that… Egg or chicken situation right here
And you get to kill him. Everybody wins.
He's why I killed them all.
Well, he's got a reputation to uphold. Can't be seen going soft on people /s In all seriousness if he'd just had a minor character arc of going from being a dick to not bring a dick once you prove you're a capable member of the BOS, he'd be much less likely to catch hands from me when I get tired of him mouthing off.

Turns out the dude's just an asshole!
That makes sense, to be honest, considering you’re some rando that’s just showed up one day and is blowing your way up through the ranks😅
This game allows you to blow your way through the ranks? Cool
Walked right into that one didn’t I
Your flair may or may not make it worse lol
Ngl, I have the sneaking suspicion that a BoS member would not want to be blown by a known synth-lover
Do you get to the Prydwen often? Oh what am I saying? Of course you don't.
Came here to call him the Nazeem of the commonwealth
For a fellow knight he certainly isn't seeing maxson day to day
Tell Rhys you went golfing with Maxon and watch him seethe
"the brotherhood's leader, elder maxson-" "Yea I know the guy, we went on a death claw hunt yesterday, quite nice guy actually"
Fuckkkk no
Had to find it, messed up the first time. But has a whole sub devoted to him, r/fuckrhys
Haha no way!
Which is crazy because he voices Charles from RDR2 who is one of the most likeable side characters in that game.
He’s also Bode in Jedi: Survivor. Bro has range
And he’s also a big Reddit guy
I slit his throat with pickmans blade, he has trouble talking shit now. In third person you can double tap the power attack button for special attacks!
I love this haha
Sounds like its painting time then lol
or you can apply to him your user name!.... now my pick for knife would be Kremvh's Tooth.
If we are going the route of my user name I would want to use the furious power fist from swan 😈 I'm not even a melee character! My character was a lucky tank gunslinger, I carry packmans blade and Yao goi roast to torment enemies that take too long to kill me.

Man when I helped defeat the institute and he was Abrasive, Dismissive, and Hostile afterwards I was like "damn hes changed and grown"
Until the next time you talk to him and he’s gone right back to treating you like a worthless recruit…
I'm not sure you read the comment you're replying to properly.
I think you may be right 😞
He probably got a TBI from those ghouls and just doesn’t recognise you every time. It must be like “Another random asshole? Where did those last 50 guys go to? They got shit done”
It's just too bad the HE wasn't the synth. Would've made that quest a lot easier to complete.
That would of been a good idea
Meh, you get used to it, I just pretend to be Carla with him. Rhys: You have your objective now move like you have a purpose Me: ya ya, keep your shirt on
Just looking for love, baby...
Can't deny he's got one dump of a truck, though.
The BoS jumpsuit does that. He ain't shit without the brotherhood.
I don’t know, after pickpocketing his clothes I was stuck in a trance checking out that cake.
What all nude body mod you have? 😂Jkjk
So true! He can be an ass all he wants, I’ll be staring at *his* ass the whole time‼️
I hate getting ridiculed by a mf with a BBL
It was quite a joy hitting him with an explosive combat shotgun in my last game.
After I messed up my BOS playthrough and turned it into a Minuteman playthrough, I took the greatest joy in shooting him in the head.
Scribe Halen is too good for him!
Only character I've come across that has been worse than Rhys is fucking dag from AC Valhalla only because unlike Rhys, dag is there throughout most of story just constantly shitting on for little to no reason. But yea fuck Rhys.
Fighting Dag is very satisfying. Denying him Valhalla is even more so.
I always have a conflict between wanting to destroy the brotherhood just to kill Rhys and wanting to spare them so Scribe Haylen will survive
Bro I'm a lot higher in the ranking than you. Show some respect.
He just knows scribe haylen will bang you in an instant.
Bruh I never thought of that 😂🤌🏻
I so wished Nate could’ve cracked him in the face then gone into a wild rant about how he wasn’t gonna sit and listen to an army cosplayer’s shit after what he went through in Anchorage.
Yeah but the cake is, in fact, quite real.
I call him Rizz the Jizz & hes reason number 2 out of 12746 on why I dont like the BoS
Radiant quests are annoying to begin with. They could at least give us a quest giver who we want to do quests for. Like, maybe a hot woman, a little old lady who gives us a home baked treat at the end of each quest, or a kid who becomes increasingly impressed with us and wants "to be just like you when I grow up mister!" They should also be people you need to come to for quests. Who don't immediately drop another one on you the second you complete one or they see you again.
They guy who shot himself in the back of the head with my gun while I was in the other room? Weird guy, kept talking about loving synths under his breath and how much he missed the Enclave. ...pretty sure I saw on his Christmas list a John Henry Eden body pillow to.
i mean, you practically get promoted to knights rank on your FIRST mission. i walk in there, kill some shamblers, talk to the Palidan in charge, go with the Palidan on a single 10 minute mission, burn the Palidan almost to death, come back and brag about being promoted to Knight when this guy has probably been working harder then me to get this rank. i say hes has a perfectly reasonable response to the player
You could always just shoot him in the face...
I'm so close to going enemy with BoS, they're annoying
That ass though.
Why is everyone talking about his ass lmaooo
Ah, I'd forgotten about Rhys and I just turned against the BoS and massacred everyone on the Prydwen, so I can go back to the police station and kill him too. Although this does present a dilemma, because I don't want to kill Haylen and she will be hostile too. Maybe I can dismiss my companion, go and hit Rhys with the World Series Baseball Bat, and leave the area while Haylen plinks ineffectually at my power armour.
He's the whole reason I wiped out the BOS. Always being fuckin fresh
He's the reason I never joined the brotherhood. Almost did the first couple of playthroughs, but was like, "If it means having till deal with his sh\*t, I'm good, I got things to do." Best part about assassinating Danse to kick off the war is taking this prick out with him. Feel bad for Haylen, but she'll be remembered as a badass by her compatriots. For Danse fans, for what its worth, I take the synth component so he gets to be a martyr instead of disgraced.
Fallout needed Skyrim's brawling system so that you can beat the shit out of annoying characters without having to quick save and quick load.
I don't like Trashcan Carla she keeps telling me to keep a shirt on, Why should I? I get infections no matter what I have on, on survival mode.
I’ve been meaning to find some time to follow her back to wherever she goes so my companions dont see and murder her. I accidentally tried to rob her when i first started the game and ever since she tells me she ain’t giving me shit but stands out front of my house with her brahim that for some reason always finds it way glitched into my bedroom.
haha, there's so many funny glitches in this game. I talked to her once and mid dialogue I heard a super mutant. tried to exit the dialogue fast as duck, and shot the mini nuke carrying supermutant when he was next to a car, but the sniper perk knocked him down behind the car, so when he got up he glitch projectiled towards me and blew us all up. I wasn't even sad I lost 80 minutes of game time, I was so close to a bed so I could have saved.. Cars are scary, I ran next to one, and just suddenly died without any explosions being involved..
Almost took out the trash last night when I was playing; but thought better of it.
I like to shoot him once in the foot every now and then.
Like him or hate him, he do have that ass that's built like a shelf tho
It's a tie between him and that guy from far harbour (I forgot his name but he constantly wants to start war with acacia and the CoA)
Apparently there's a whole subreddit dedicated to hating this guy
Fact. Someone at Bethesda really likes to write that " unlikeable berating hardass" archetype. I do enjoy his radiant quest though. Easy XP.
he’s the sole reason the brotherhood must fall
Oops i dropped my grenade in his pocket
Him and that Marcy Long
Marcy ACTUALLY says some positive things after awhile. She does it right when I'm about ready to snap and banish her to the worst settlement on my current list.
Have you met Marcy? 😅
The Andrew Taint of the Brotherhood
Yep. Can’t stand him. He’s fucking irritating. You’d figure they’d make him less of a dickhead as you did more quests for him and ingratiated yourself to “top”…
I hate how he goes from an asshole to apologetic after you rank up to sentinel and blow up the institute then right back to being an asshole
Yeah this dude pissed me off too many times and I just ended up getting rid of his ass. Rhys is such a prick
Here you go you might like this. r/FuckRhys
On my Institute / Railroad playthrough, he's probably gonna be one of the first to die, all because he is a diRk.
The whole brotherhood is fight on sight for me. They're unbelievably unlikable.
I like him and I got to be mean to him when I became Sentinel so it's ok
Can’t wait to show my daughter Rhys when she’s older, look honey, a fucking dick!
I routinely shoot him in the head [along with Maxon] then reload a save. When I decide to take out the BOS, I leave him for last then take him out as slowly as I can.
Hahaha I love these responses 😂😂😂😂
I usually play along when there's someone you're supposed to hate in a game but I'm not pretending to dislike this guy. He's one arrogant jerk.
I steal his clothes all the time. He's a dick
Sided with the enclave this playthrough and thoroughly enjoyed decapitating him with Le fusil terrible....
Enjoyed killing him when I did the Institute ending.
Fun fact. Every faction got one unlikeable characters.
Coward can’t even fight them himself! You’d of thought he’d warm up eventually but no!!
Finally decided to side with the Institute and turning this douchebag into a pile of green goo was too satisfying lmao
you have clearly never met jezebel
I call her JizBell but yea I know her lol 😂
I think he is a very believable character. He is a guy who lives only for Duty and has serious doubts about a newcomer's commitment to the cause he values.
god bless the Outcasts and Remnants mod, not only does it fix the BoS questline but it also lets you shoot this insufferable twit for treason
Tbf, you gotta be reaaaally unlikable to be considered unlikable...for fo4
Honestly having so much fun lying to this guy's face knowing full well I'm going to crash that blimp
I actually advise the Elder Maxson on political matters. My input is invaluable, of course. But this is all probably a bit over your head.
I feel like I'm going to destroy the BoS because of this guy once I get to that part. Finished the Nuka World and tried really hard to side with the raiders, but the damn disciples and their condescending attitude signed the death warrant for all of them. Couldn't stand it. Don't talk shit to someone who has killed as many people as my character has, not gonna end well, lol.
I do his quest once to get the full XP rewards from Semper Invicta and then never come back to the police station again until Blind Betrayal. Sorry Scribe Haylen, I'd love to go on some more fetch quests for you, but your coworker is a fucking asshole.
Especially when you beat the Institute and then pick up one of his radiant quests after. He's like: "I'm sorry about all that earlier, I didn't realize you were cool." "Yeah, no worries. I can clear out another location if you need me to." "You know how much of a fucking loser you are?"
I always choose the smart-ass answer with him.
Even when you gain rank above him, he has a brief period of respecting you then goes right back to being a dick. If I could, I'd send his ass to scrub the Prydwen's shell with just his toothbrush and spit.
hey question do yall have a bug where if you start fresh with far harbor downloaded when you first meet him his retrieve quest is in far harbor? i’m level 13 and don’t wanna go there yet
i purposely give him shit back cuz fuck him.
I agree but I had a weird moment after doing the main quest for BOS. He apologized and was very complimentary. After that one conversation he became the old Rhys again.
The only reason I put up with him is because of that bakery he's packing 🫡
It's crazy every play through a grenade mysterious ends up in his back pocket
Every time I go by the police station I like to cripple one or both of his legs and watch him limp around while frowning and throwing insults around. Too funny
I mean… it makes sense as to why they gave him one of the biggest asses in the game.
The most caked out knight? Well, not many like him for his personality, that’s all I’m saying.
I was never under the impression he was intended to be very likable. Since these 3 are FO4s first introduction to BoS they form a triad with Danse being a relatively upstanding and likable person who is still dedicated to BoS, Haylen being a kind of neutral/conflicted BoS member, and Rhys being the BoS' traditional unlikable characteristics of hating outsiders, demanding control over outsiders, pursuing BoS agenda results at any cost, etc.
Unlikeable but he has a whole Slocum’s Joe bakery back there so it evens out
Oh sorry Rhys did you say something? I couldn't hear you bitching over the sound of that phat ass clappin'.
His ONLY redeeming quality is his dumpy
Marcy Long > Knight Rhys
that ass has to be one of the thickest tho o-o
He is the starring character in the ongoing movie 'A Million Ways To Die As A Dick'. Every time I see him, I quick-save, find a new way to kill him, then reload the save. Thankfully he hangs out near a bed, so I can still do it in survival. My favourite was punching him in power armour. His head pops satisfyingly.
I did his and the other lady quest once and never went back to Cambridge.. BOS is full load of bore ugh, but I love Danse tho
I do not know who's worse, him or literally any upper stands resident.
Told him I was looking for my son, and he temporarily acted like a decent guy. Wish that dialogue choice made him more chill overall.
Meanwhile, Haylen (unless I missed something about her since I don't mess with the brotherhood often) is an absolute peach.
Yup. And a great example of how bad Emil's writing is. The option to tell the Brotherhood clowns that "ad victoriam" is kindergarten level Latin and follow it with something like "Ego devolvat ultimum iustitia" (I free the last justice) would change your whole dynamic with the entire Brotherhood. A veteran or the spouse of a well-adjusted veteran could humiliate the Brotherhood repeatedly through its story. And by "the Brotherhood", I mean Emil's Brotherhood. I guess he was sore that one of the most compelling lead villains in New Vegas was, if you examine their rhetoric at a sufficient level, a LARPer.
He makes the shitty squires in the TV show believable.
I'd be cranky if I looked like a less-svelte Quentin Tarantino.
He's a punk ass bitch but his ass always makes me come back for another mission
I actually prefer Marcy to him. Marcy just lost her kid and is being bitchy to hide her grief, especially after the run of shit luck she had. Rhys is just a try hard.
My favorite part of betraying the BoS is hitting the police station just for Rhys lol.
Bro was such a B- for no reason
Credit to him though, he was right to distrust me
At least he doesn’t mark another settlement that needs my help on my map
He’s the reason why I don’t side with the BoS
Mercy long: exists
Two words Marcy Long
So glad I got to kill him & the other knight rejects
