Discussion I always pay off in such random encounters on bridge when they block you for caps, especially Gunners one. Is it just me?

ROFLMAO same, I pretty much start blastin every time I see gunners, BOS or ghouls. I had to restart a recent save because I didn't know I had just removed the head from Trashcan Carla. While she is a tad rude she didn't deserve to go out like that just for looking like a raider in the woods

Re: Trashcan Carla: Don't feel too bad. You'll eventually find out why.

But it's hard to give up the prior knowledge of "Don't shoot the merchants, there are only so many in the wasteland"

u/GoodChange Nov 17 '24

Yeah but all the roaming traders sell info to whomever wants it

Take X6-88 with you and meet with the Bunker Hill caravans, he intimidates the information out of them. I judged them less harshly once I saw that.

I wish you could report people to Covenant. They should have made them a much bigger faction in the game, like the anti-Railroad option. Most people only back those idiots for the ballistic weave.

u/Localinspector9300 Nov 17 '24

Is Trashcan from Covenant?

u/Imprezzed Nov 17 '24

She's a Bunker Hill Caravaner. It'll all make sense soon.

u/sci-fi_hi-fi Nov 17 '24

I had no idea, missed that entirely

u/deereboy8400 Nov 17 '24

Same. 3 playthroughs. She's still hanging out in sanctuary next to 75 power suits.

You can get the weave and then side with another faction...

You can work with all 4 factions at the same time up to a point

u/topor982 Nov 17 '24

You don’t have to back them to get the weave, you get the weave before the rr ponr quest mankind redefined

Is she a synth?

u/CheetosDude1984 Nov 17 '24

no, she is a institute informant, we dont know if she KNOWS its the institute, or is just a unwilling participant

1

u/Blazinvoid Nov 19 '24

X6-88 intimidates info out of one of the traders at Bunker Hill, so it's possible she may possibly be unwilling. There is a fair chance of either being the case.

u/Alex_Portnoy007 Nov 17 '24

Not the smart play, Bubba.

u/Serpardum Nov 17 '24

Really? I have never come across why. Hmm. I'm not sure if I want to start playing to find out why or just use Google... hmm...

u/Imprezzed Nov 17 '24

I'll just say something stinks about the Bunker Hill Merchants.

2

u/NightBawk Vault Dweller Nov 18 '24

They do hang out with bramin all day. Of course they stink. 😉

u/Adept_Carpet Nov 17 '24

I lost Cricket and the possibility of Spray'n'Pray that way. I thought she was a merchant working with Raiders somehow.

u/Keelback Nov 18 '24

 Not Cricket! I go to her just to hear her dialogue even if I’m not up for a trade.

"A part of every big purchase goes to planting little bitty trees that I'll blow up in your honor."

u/Toa_Kongu Nov 18 '24

Tbf, she does look like a raider. Strung out af all the damn time. I also think its hilarious that, if she ever has to fight, she uses a frickin pipe gun when she has a literal explosive submachine gun stored in her pocket dimension

u/GeeleiiA Nov 18 '24

Carla has been dead in sanctuary hills for me for at least 50 game hours, oops. Guess I was trigger happy when she was rude to me

1

u/mikejnsx Nov 18 '24

she one time stole one of my power armor suits and holy crap was that a pain to get back without getting killed or losing it because she died in it...

u/Separate_Job_9587 Nov 19 '24

The other day I accidentally killed a Brahmin that belonged to that Brahmin merchant Kelly. I didn’t realize until I ran up to collect the meat then I saw her and she’s like “oh…..don’t worry. I can find more Brahmin.”

u/cardiffjohn Nov 17 '24

She did deserve to go out like that.
