Stop! Have you read the latest issue of the Public Events newspaper? If not, be sure to do it immediately. After all, it tells about a man who lived two hundred years ago. Who remembers the world as it was before the war. Moreover, now this publication is considered the most truthful in the entire Commonwealth. And all thanks to the talented journalist and editor - Piper Wright.
First investigation
The place in Fallout 4, where Piper Wright spent her childhood, was a small village on the outskirts of the Commonwealth. There she lived with her sister Nat and her father, who was part of the local militia. Once he was found dead and Piper, after conducting a small investigation, found out that the militia chief Mayburn had entered into a conspiracy with the raiders, whose goal was to plunder the city. For just one night the gates were to remain unguarded. And this was enough to implement the plan.
Piper was then the only one to whom it was important that the perpetrators be punished. Therefore, she independently printed and pasted announcements in which she indicated all the crimes committed by Mayburn. The villagers did not like this, and they expelled him. But Piper saved up some money and moved with her sister to Diamond City, where she acquired a small room, which she made the editorial office of the local newspaper Social Events.
Like - not like
The trust of a character like Piper still needs to be earned. Like other companions, she will closely monitor the actions of the hero during his journey. Based on this, her attitude towards him will also change. Therefore, you need to know what actions she likes and what she hates.
So, how can you please a journalist? Firstly, this character of Fallout 4 (Piper) loves when the hero uses sarcastic remarks or noble answer options in conversation, and also uses hacking skills. Secondly, he prefers that the hero take the side of the innocent. Thirdly, of all the groups, she is more supportive of the Minutemen.
Piper will not appreciate if the Survivor joins the Brotherhood of Steel. In her presence, you should not offer drugs to clairvoyant mother Murphy. It is also better not to steal or intimidate interlocutors. And she is categorically against bribes and extortion of money for completing tasks.
Of course, you can not pay attention to the vagaries of the character Fallout 4 Piper, but in this case there is a huge risk of never getting a unique ability - Gift of Gab. And it could be useful, because it gives the hero additional experience for opening new locations and convincing other characters.
Dangerous job
Even after moving to Diamond City, Piper Wright’s life didn't get any easier. Her newspaper was not very popular, because most did not believe what she wrote. But the zealous journalist kept digging and digging, which is why she often found herself in situations that often threatened her life.
In one of her first articles, she accused the caravan cartel of greatly overstating the cost of food for Diamond City residents. In revenge, the cartel decided to tame the girl, poisoning her with poison. She miraculously managed to survive, and then she made such a fuss that the authorities were forced to arrest many members of the cartel.
After some time, she undertook to investigate the case of water poisoning in Bunker Hill. All evidence pointed to members of the Atom Children cult. But she did not have time to write about it, they caught her and were about to shoot her. But Piper managed to escape again, and when she told everything, fighters were sent to Bunker Hill, who quickly dispersed all the sectarians.
In general, they constantly tried to intimidate, kill or execute her - stressful situations are common for Piper. But she perfectly understood that without this truth you would not achieve. But everything changed a little when the girl met a man from Vault 111.
First meeting
When the "Survivor" met the character Fallout 4 Piper, she was almost kicked out of the city. Mayor McDonagh ordered the guards not to let her in, but she was able to persuade the hero to help her get into the perimeter again. It was immediately obvious that she was interested in her, Piper tried to talk to the hero, and when she found out about his trouble, she tried to help him in her own way, even if only slightly in her interests.
From this moment on, Piper will give the impression of a reliable companion. For example, the girl will offer to visit the local detective Nick Valentine, who can help the hero with further searches for his son.
"The plot of the century"
In turn, the hero turned out to be a very useful interlocutor for Piper. Still, one could write a book about his life. But the girl asked for material for only one small article, which, in her opinion, would become the plot of the century.
This is a chance to earn Fallout 4 Piper character confidence. The quest will appear as soon as the hero gets into Diamond City, immediately after the conversation of the journalist with the mayor of the city. And if the hero agrees to give an interview, he will be scheduled a meeting at the editorial office of the newspaper "Social Events".
Piper will ask a few questions and write an article based on the answers. She will ask about life in the Vault. What the hero thinks about the Commonwealth. Does he have any idea who could kidnap his son. And in the end he will ask that the “Survivor” advises those who also lost loved ones. As soon as the article is ready, Piper will become a companion of the hero.
"Revelation"
During the search for his missing son, the hero will go to a mercenary named Kellogg, who was once associated with the Institute. To find him, you have to get into Kellogg's house. Of course, it will be possible to break the lock, or you can go and ask the mayor for the key.
If Piper at the moment will not be the hero’s companion, but will be unlocked as a companion, then she can be met in the mayor’s office, where she will argue with Secretary Geneva. If you share your problem with her, she will try to persuade the mayor to give the key. If at this moment Piper is the hero’s companion, then she will appreciate any outcome of the conversation with McDonagh, except for
giving a bribe."In sheep's clothing"
Probably one of the most important events in the life of the character Fallout 4 Piper happened on the day when the “Survivor” at Diamond City market found a wounded guard Danny Sullivan. The fact is that he witnessed how Mayor McDonagh helped the Sints to leave the city. Sullivan tried to stop him, for which he received a bullet in the stomach.
The mayor has already locked himself in the office, taking his own secretary hostage. When the hero was there, he was met by Piper Wright, the journalist was just trying to get into the office. They found a button under the Geneva table and opened the door.
In this case, there are three solutions to the problem:
- Release the mayor. In this case, the mayor will leave, and Piper will like this decision of the hero.
- Offer a fair trial. Piper will be delighted with this, but the mayor will start shooting.
- Attack McDonagh. In this case, the mayor will answer in the same way.
By the way, after this incident, the newspaper "Public events" began to be much more trusted. After all, Piper Wright had long suspected Mayor McDonagh in connection with synths.
Fallout 4 (Piper): Relationships
The principle of building good relationships will be the same for everyone. Only as close as possible with them will it be possible to get their unique ability. Each partner has a certain level of attitude towards the hero. For each, in his opinion, the correct action on the part of the hero, this level will increase. You can find out about this by the inscription that appears in the upper corner of the screen.
It does not matter who claims to be the hero’s companion in Fallout 4 - Kate or Piper, as soon as enough pleasant deeds are done, an additional item will appear in conversation with them, indicating their great sympathy for the hero. After that, the relationship between them will grow to such an extent that they will wake up together, plus the unique “Lover's Embrace” ability will appear, increasing the experience gained.
Fallout 4: Piper Mod
It is clear that the character, principles and preferences of Miss Wright cannot be changed. At least for now. But now there are many mods that can make changes to the appearance of the editor of the newspaper "Social Events". For example, the “Improved Piper” mod makes the character's face more beautiful. The same result can be achieved by installing the mod for the game Fallout 4 “New Piper”.
