Had Fallout 4 been a puzzle game perhaps the mechanics would have suited this better, but using the rusty community building tools to solve problems was a forgettable, yet stupidly long endeavour. They were way too long and in general not at all enjoyable. One truly negative aspect of the main quest was a series of puzzles the player has to complete inside an AI character’s mind. Let’s just say it felt similar to that time in the main game when I inadvertently caused a massacre… oops. I’ll discuss this all in detail in another article later, once spoilers can rain from the sky like nukes. Picking the right option was also hard given Fallout 4‘s strange dialogue selection choices, so sometimes I hit the wrong thing based on the stupid snippet of misleading information.
This was particularly hard in Far Harbor as I didn’t like the morally “correct” option, but the others were too extreme and left no middle ground.
Of course the main story plays out in such a way that you need to make a lot of important decisions and ultimately side with one faction’s rationale. To do so requires equal parts detective work, and shooting people/monsters in the face.
I've exhausted all dialogue options, found all the clues (including paint can), got the incriminating holotape, and it STILL won't let me accuse any NPCs to finish the quest. The main meat of Far Harbor lies in resolving a conflict brewing between the Far Harbor residents, the Children of Atom, and the synths of Acadia. FAR HARBOR: Brain Dead Quest Glitch - please help vague spoilers I've googled this extensively, a few others have experienced this but I haven't found a solution. Just don’t wander off into the spooky island fog
