What survivors in the post-apocalyptic world can tell, many may not like it. It is unlikely that they will want to know from someone what is waiting for them, as they hope to find out for themselves. Therefore, they should not lower their eyes below the first five lines, so as not to spoil the impression. The rest, if interested, should linger and find out what secrets the next plot hides. “Fallout 4” is the story of one hero living in a world destroyed by a nuclear explosion and forced at some point to make a difficult and maximally correct choice.
Usual morning
So, Fallout 4. The plot of the game, released at the end of 2015, begins with that terrible day when a nuclear war started . As a result, almost the entire population of the Earth was destroyed, and the fallout contributed to the emergence of mutants.
The main character (Nathaniel, or Nora) wakes up shortly before that, goes to the bathroom, washed, communicates with her soulmate near the mirror, determines her gender, walks around the house and plays with children. But a sudden doorbell tears the hero away from the bustle of the home.
Behind the door stands a representative of Volt-Tech, a company engaged in the construction of high-tech protective underground complexes. He clearly hints at the upcoming nuclear explosion and offers a “bright future underground”, where you can wait out the consequences of the disaster. The hero agrees, and after filling in some papers, the guest leaves.
I heard the cry of a child. The hero goes to the room to reassure him, but the sudden release of news makes his parents go to the TV. And there it is reported that nuclear explosions have already occurred in several cities, and in order not to fall under such a wave, it is necessary to proceed to the nearest defensive complex - Vault 111. The people descend into the dungeon, they are placed in cryo-chambers and frozen for several decades.
Unpleasant Awakening
So, the main character falls asleep with his family in one of the shelters of the Fallout 4 game. The main plot continues to develop already inside the defense complex. For some reason, the hero wakes up and is horrified by what he saw - his spouse (or spouse) is killed, and two unknowns carry the child away. They do not touch him, but again they freeze him.
60 years will pass before the main character opens his eyes again. He will remember what happened and will want to find his stolen son - Sean. True, he does not yet know how many years have passed since that moment. This remains to be seen, because he will have to leave the shelter and go to conquer the Wasteland.
First results
Having no idea where to start, the hero wanders through the vast territory, carrying out small assignments here and there. But soon he attacks the trail of a mercenary (Kellogg), who lived in a small town on the surface, but at some point disappeared. Of interest was the fact that he often saw a little kid. Such a minimal chance is going to be used by the hero of the game “Fallout 4”. The plot sends him in search of Kellogg.
After a while, he finds a mercenary and finds out that he has long been traveling alone. And Sean, most likely, can be in one interesting organization, calling itself the "Institute". They create synthetics there and do not disdain the abduction of children. The mercenary did not survive the meeting in memory, but his memories told of the location of this office. There parent and sends the plot. Fallout 4 continues, and with it answers to some questions appear.
On the way to the Institute, the hero learns that the usual way is not to get there. You can view the room from the inside only with the help of a special teleport, which can be used only if you know the secret code. This is every employee of the organization. So you need to act. And as soon as the opportunity arises, the main protagonist immediately clings to it.
Inside the "Institute"
But what was the parent’s surprise when he found out that the head of this organization was his offspring Sean, who was already young. More precisely, he is 60 years old. He entered the Institute for a long time and believes that he is engaged in a noble cause - he is trying to revive humanity with the help of atomic energy and robotic-technical discoveries.
And here a big curtain rises, revealing some of the details that the plot still hid. Fallout 4, or rather the story told in it, finally explains the reason for the separation of the family. It turns out that Sean was kidnapped, because the research needed the DNA of a child who was not affected by radiation. And one of the parents was left as a donor. But now all this does not matter, and the hero is of no value. Therefore, Sean lets him go.
The game "Fallout 4": the plot. Description of endings
This ends a narrow path, and begins a broad storyline, offering the hero several paths at once, on which the final part will depend. He will have to join one of the existing organizations in the game “Fallout 4”. The main plot by this time will already make it clear that each of them is hostile to their competitors, and therefore, the choice of a particular fraction implies the destruction of the remaining groups. But it is not so.
"Institute"
There is an option to join the "Institute", that is, to remain "at the ready." Only it will be necessary to fulfill all the vagaries of scientists, as a result of which other groups will suffer great losses. Moreover, some of them will be completely destroyed.
Only free nations will not suffer. But the efforts of the hero will be rewarded, and when Sean dies, it is easy to guess who will manage the organization.
"Minutemen"
If you play for "Minutemans", you can see how the plot will develop in this case. Fallout 4 will show how the hero, back to back with the friendliest organization in the Commonwealth, will return the Castle that once belonged to her and, against the backdrop of dizzying success, will begin to glance at the Institute. More specifically, their goal will be a reactor, as well as the technology of scientists that they use to protect the remaining population. As a result, they will succeed, and scientists will not suffer.
"Subway"
The victory of the Underground is another ending that Fallout 4 offers. The plot of the game here implies introducing the Institute into the organization in order to agree with one of the scientists about the synth escape, which should then be armed and set against the Institute and the Brotherhood of Steel (there is no enmity with the Ministers). For this, the hero will infiltrate the airship of the Brotherhood and destroy it with explosives.
With scientists, of course, it is more difficult, because the entrance to them is “guarded” by a teleport. But after its capture, it remains only to move the employees of Podzemka to mine and then blow up the Institute. The elimination of hostile groups will free the synthetics, and they will begin to spread around the world.
"Brotherhood of Steel"
But the lucky one who has become his own in the Brotherhood of Steel will be immediately opposed to the Institute. The main character will have to find the entrance to the lair of scientists in order to destroy it. This will be done by a huge robot digging a tunnel to the hopper. And then the matter will be small - the extermination of all the synths, farewell to Sean, obtaining a high rank and, finally, the construction of a "new world".
