Yeah 4 seems extravagant! People nowadays tend to have 2 options - “I completely agree with you because you completely agree with me and we’re the Good Guys,” or “Fuck you, nazi!”
Yes Sarcastic yes Resentful yes Optional dialogue
Choices matter
Dude.
Dude?
Dude!
Dude…Where’s my car?
- Okay.
- Noooo!
- Whoops…
- Calculated.
What a save!
Damn, that’s crazy…accurate.
Yes
Fyi if you play this game on PC there are multiple great mods that revert the dialogue UI back to legacy style, where it shows you the actual dialogue choices in full, just like previous games.
It changes the UI, which helps, but it obviously doesn’t change anything to allow for player agency.
Huh? What do you mean? It shows the full dialogue lines like the older games did…
The older games typically had things where you could choose to do things in different ways. FO4 has yes, no (which is rarely actually “no”, but instead “maybe later”), sarcastic yes, and “tell me more.” There is no agency, and the choices don’t change anything.
It being displayed like the older style is just graphics. It’s doesn’t actually make it function like the older games would have, where you’d actually get to make choices.
Because those options give you no agency anyway, it’s not like those answers affect the plot in any way.

Playing F4 made me realise more than ever that the draw of the Fallout universe for me is the ability to uncover hidden dialogue options by tweaking your skills the right way.
I never finished it and it makes me sad.
Finishing F4 wasn’t worth it, imo
Not many players know this, but you can unlock a secret alternate ending to Fallout 4 by pressing Alt+F4 while playing
You have to do it right before the end, though.
Yeah I went with the science dudes and didn’t even get to subjugate the wasteland with a robot army afterwards. Lame.
Bro you missed the point
You already did that!
The MITechnocracy rules the area. They control everything but those weirdos in Goodneighbor, and those guys are too busy getting high.
Yeah but you’re never really in charge like they say you are.
Eh, that’s just the state of things when the Tech Fuhrer declares his heir and dies within a relatively short period, there’s still a political struggle that would happen after the events of the game.
I choose to believe my version hacks/gains the allegiance of the Coursers and murders his enemies in their sleep. Knowing Bethesda though, if that end does end up being canon the opposite will happen.
there’s still a political struggle that would happen after the events of the game.
Yeah, I wanted to participate in that.
