This actually gives me a reason NOT to skip over Concord like I’ve done so many times (where I’ve thus never encountered Preston and played as much of the game as possible pretending the Minutemen don’t exist). You can meet the mod’s core characters just after leaving Sanctuary, and it provides some plausible framework for not only why you’d fight the gunners early on, but also a totally alternate track for going to Diamond City and finding Kellogg that doesn’t involve the Minutemen or rescuing Nick Valentine for the 50th time. Why are the Gunners basically just re-skinned raiders with better gear, and why is fighting them so unsatisfying? Why do we never know their motivations, or have any real motivations for fighting them ourselves other than to defend ourselves?ĭepravity brings some grit to the game that I found appealing.
