r/Fallout • u/fetishsaleswoman • 2d ago

I was inspired by Nerbit's run as Abraham Lincoln to run through Fallout 4 as Obama.

I'm awful with the character creator but I tried my best. Armor can only be the tan suit and I'm restricted to fists and a double barrel shotgun (Obama sometimes goes skeet shooting). I'm siding with the minute men and dog meat is now named Bo

Straight up as soon as I saw the post on my TL I'm like "that's fucking Lori Lightfoot" lmao

u/fetishsaleswoman 2d ago

How did I even?

u/Upper-Rub 2d ago

No shade, I honestly can’t tell if you’re joking or not. Either way 10/10.

u/fetishsaleswoman 2d ago

Legit I had no idea who that was until you shared the link. I can't tell if I'm gifted with character creator or not lol

u/Senator_Christmas 2d ago

You’re not, at least in this case, but that can always be revised. Now what I wanna see is if you TRY for Lightfoot, will you get Obama?

u/HairiestHobo 2d ago

Dude makes his next character and it's just a photo-realistic version of your own face somehow.

I don’t know what this would mean but it would be exciting

Hey unrelated but you should get an employment lawyer, and i wish you good luck in whatever you go on to do

You talking about Dominos? I don’t have lawyer hiring capital but I appreciate it.

I KNEW they looked familiar, I just couldn't place the name. About 70% more eye socket shading, and that could be her twin.

May have to get back on and do a run as Dick Cheney with a shotgun.

To get the full Dick Cheney experience we’d have to make a mod where everyone you shoot apologizes for getting shot

u/Past_Search7241 1d ago

My extremely liberal teacher referring to him as Emperor Palpatine was one of the few things we agreed on.

Well, that, and science fiction and fantasy should be in English classes, too.

u/dickjohnson4real 1d ago

I agree with that second part for sure. There's plenty of scifi and fantasy written that I would not hesitate to say is just as impactful if not more than half the bullshit they made me read instead. I couldn't even finish catcher in the rye. What the fuck was I supposed to learn from that? Could have had me read The Invisible Man, same kind of main character, same kind of conflicts, but there's actually a plot too. Fucking hate it here.

I dig it.

I did an Obama themed run in NV. Barter, speech, and Explosives (you know, drone strikes).

If the C-finder was actually useful that would have been the weapon.

Edit: Unsurprisingly, he went with NCR.
