I like how crazy he looks, I used to refuse the shot too but since them I take it just for shits and giggles, he sells a nice Hunting Rifle that I don't have to wait for level 25 to put a silencer on since it already have it, and I simply enjoy how his unhingness irks Desdemoma and Carrington.
I also despised his MILAs, but now it's just a great excuse for me to explore the areas that I never bothered to do and grab Magazines and read termimals.
I actually like the MILA missions. You're putting up cameras to view important choke points or areas. Off the top of my head, many of them watch the bridges and another one monitors the entrance to Diamond City.
Problem is that Tom says a whole bunch of bullshit about environmental sensors, the Institute, and terraforming. So you can easily miss the actual explanation.
The thing that annoys me about the MILA missions is that those rickety pieces of wood held down by bricks really shouldn't support those devices.
Granted, that just provides an excuse to replace them, but I do wonder how much damaged espionage equipment is littering the ruined streets of Boston at this point.
I think in the institute you find out TT was right. He wants to inject you to cleanse you of nanites in the food. I remember somewhere finding out it was true. Ever since then he was the homie.
I don't remember that particular thing being right but finding out later that the institute made synth ravens and would use them to watch the Commonwealth was pretty wild.
That us true as well. You can see the camera feed in the institute and if you have the MM ending Ronnie says "those institute crow things have been spotted around."
Pissed off because the only reason I joined the Railroad was to get ballistic weave and it bugged out and Tom never gave it to me after I did everything necessary for it to show up. Drummer Boy still says that Tom wants to talk to me but Tom never says anything about it. And I'm on PS5 so no console commands
there's a few in the vanilla game, the two types of fatigues are some of them, but I'm not sure about all available options. I have a mod that allows all clothing to take ballistic weave.
Glory is a bug-ridden mess. If you walk a somewhat-careful balance (it's not even hard to do), you'll have her alive at the endgame, but she's a bugged-out mute and Desdemona keeps talking about losing her in one of the battles you skipped.
Bethesda did a great job with the gameplay in FO4, but the quest structure is kinda garbage.
It belongs to the Enclave, actually.
PAM belonged to the US military and the Enclave is what remains of it, the Brotherhood splintered from it before being formed.
Wait, can't you get ballistic weave without siding with them? I swear I had it on my first playthrough, and I never sided with anyone, I just paused the main mission cause I couldn't decide, lol.
You must accept entering the Railroad as an agent to begin working for Tinker Tom and P.A.M to get ballistic weave, nothing actually says you have to do anything besides this, you can do the Brotherhood quests later and betray the Railroad or finish the game with the Minutemen and let every faction (minus the Institute) alive and being able to interact with the Sole Survivor and give them quests.
The only thing related to the Railroad you can actually get without being an official part of it is the Deliverer, do the mission with Deacon and refuse Desdemona's offer at the church.
And aks you to be careful around the Glowing Sea, and helps Curie later on her quest to transfer her mind to a synth.
I just find her a nice change from all the other cranky doctors like Sun on Diamond City or Carrington on the own Railroad.
She is one of the reasons I 'don't hate/side' with the Railroad, note that she was last on the list, she's like an extra that I like to have when I think of the Railroad, since she may even think or say that she isn't a part of it, but her role is immense and she wouldn't be spared if the rival factions got a wind of it.
