I've tried to play Fallout 4 several times now but keep losing interest before I ever meet the Institute because no matter what angle I come at it from my character that I make sounds and behaves exactly like all my other attempts, and NONE of them have been the character I sat down and designed for the game.
Can you play with voices turned off and use subtitles instead? I find that to help me a lot when dialogue options are not ideal. Makes it easier to hear in my head what my character would actually say. Also there is a mod called Start Me Up that makes dialogue edits so if you pick an alternate start you don't have to hear constant nagging about the kid.
You quickly realize that it's not just Voice that is going to intrude on your sense of character (the MC is silent in these exchanges) but all our gestures and movements and reaction shot facial expressions.
This is very true. I wish they would give us demeanour tags or even better, remove the stupid facial expression cut scenes. They are very immersion breaking. For the movements, they should add different ones for each race and maybe sex. Just please none of the overdone ass swaying that is often inflicted on female characters.
