Interesting but after Smaug not that suprised sort of . <| sep |> I do think those are probably legitimate complaints if having a freeform character is your preference . For me , roleplaying as NateNora felt pretty natural since I ' m also a young dad and I had more of an emotional connection with my character than I ever did as the faceless Courier or the Lone Wanderer . There were little moments where I projected my own life into my character ' s , like the first time when you walk into Shaun ' s room after the Apocalypse and you see his old toys and his crib lying around and it ' s like , Damn , my little world has just been ripped to shreds . Even all the parent stuff aside , I really enjoyed taking my character from the start where they are good people and are sincerely trying to help others , they join up with the Brotherhood and do the wrong things for what they think are the right reasons but end up being disgruntled and angry at them for forcing me to kill my son , and then finally after the main story my character has become embittered and cold like Kellog and enjoys making the world his plaything enter NukaWorld .
