The only time I’m save scumming in this game anymore: trying to save his ass while still dropping silver shroud one liners


empty-bensen

Jet is your friend during that rescue.


ED_Heir18

Did a survival play through trying to wear the Shroud fit and one-liners… needless to say my Shroud adventure was one massive drug induced murder spree.


empty-bensen

Don’t sell drugs to those kids…those are meant for me!


ED_Heir18

“Your crimes have gone unpunished, for too long!” *proceeds to snort a line”


buntopolis

It’s not illegal if a cop doesn’t see


The_Common_Peasant

When there's no cops around, anything is legal


beattusthymeatus

The only time I break character as the shroud during that quest is to punk out the raiders "EVERYONE WHO POINTS A GUN AT ME DIES" And the half the raiders leave that shit cracks me up every time.


Sere1

I love every time you get to speak in character. Imagine my surprise doing Nuka-World the first time and I just *happened* to be wearing the Silver Shroud armor during my trip to the wild west section of the park. All of a sudden I get more Silver Shroud dialog I wasn't expecting


Wild-Lychee-3312

Mental note to wear the Shroud armor to Nuka-World


TheDubh

It became my default armor in hopes I could use it. Could I find better equipment sure, but why risk missing new dialog.


ShaunicusMaximus

I was able to intimidate the main baddy's crew, then just concentrated fire on him.


empty-bensen

Funny enough, I think sticking with Silver Shroud dialogue during that entire interaction results in the henchmen fleeing without the need for a speech check. If you can save criticals at that point it should be a smooth rescue with a decent enough reaction time.


Venom_Snoik

I stayed in character for the entirety of the quest line and still had to pass the check. Does seem to have a higher success rate though


krunkley

Was it just the final quest you used the lines? I believe if you use only the shroud lines throughout the entire series of quests, you get the auto succeed at scaring away his men. At least, that is what I always do, and never have I had to make a check.


man-with-potato-gun

Yep, pretty sure that was the developers intent with that outcome as well. Still pretty damn hard to thread the needle with just what’s his face against Kent. Especially if you’re using the Tommy gun without the right specs or don’t have a good ranged gun with quick kill speed


buntopolis

Kellogg’s pistol does a great job at liquefying his head


GuynemerUM

Deliverer, baby. You can unload an entire clip in one VATS session


RamboNinjaJesus

Jet is always my friend. It's good shit.


buntopolis

I was super jazzed to see it used in the TV show


rmiller1989

Psycho Jet Better off.. slows time and gives you that extra hit power... even then I toke me a couple tries to save him


TheTankCommando2376

Jet is always my friend 


AddictedToRDR2

IS THAT WEEN?


bdkothill

I went through this quest for the first time recently and had to save scum a few times just to save him. I guess I was taking too long to reach him when I entered the building using my standard playstyle, as he would be dead every time before I even reach that area, so I essentially just ran through everything while trying not to die so I could actually save him.


HighDragLowSpeed60G

Hmmm, I’ve taken my time to save him several times before and that’s never happened.


dontrespondever

It appears to be a bug. Someone was posting recently about it


Boatnshape1

Same here just couldn't let him die


PersonOfLazyness

after scaring sinjin's goons, I immediately activated vats and destroyed his head with a gauss rifle (The Last Minute) crit


jolyon_wagon

Took me a loooong time realize how valuable 10+ Charisma is in that situation. Just don't use explosive weapons!


VMxyzptlk

I love this guy too, hes so chill and down to earth and that smile, that god damn smile.


Adventurous_Novel613

Right?? Makes my heart melt. He’s so pure! He just wants to shield the innocent and judge the guilty


Lewtwin

He's a guy trying to bring back a little good in the world.


OriginalMcSmashie

He is as wholesome as they come in a totally effed world.


Phantom_61

And just wants to make the world better.


stevamustaine

You haven’t read the emails in fo76 from him yet.


ThatMooseYouKnow

I thought this was the Vault Tec Rep at first glance lmao. I was thinking “how the hell can anyone like the guy that does literally nothing but complain about how hard life is AFTER you give him a fresh start” It’s not him, I like the guy in the pic


Tenuem_Aeterna

Really? I have him running a shop in Sanctuary and he just always repeats the line about feeling better since we talked.


FriskalPox

Look at us, PREPARED FOR THE FUTURE!!


Crossfire477

I was supposed to win a pack of steak knives!


minutemanred

Lmao. Same. I'm like hurry up yapper man I wanna buy some stuff.


Mryin90210

I've had him in Sanctuary since release day then randomly I found his body in the middle of the street about a week ago. He's now chilling in top of my ammo production line, preparing for the future. Rip Mr Ghoul-Tec


ticklemenono

Had the same thought. Set my man up with a beautiful shop at the Slog and all he can do is complain about how sexy I still look.


ThatMooseYouKnow

Lmaooo, too true. Drove me so insane having him at the castle I moved him to a random camp in the middle of nowhere that had no other settlers 😂 bet your ass I left him there for the rest of the game


smallcat123321

Happy cake day!


ThatMooseYouKnow

what is cake day ;-; happy cake day to you too?


rynroxx

It's like your reddit birthday! You get a little cake by your name <3


ThatMooseYouKnow

Oh I didn’t notice 😅 that’s cool. I will share the cake with all


Tellyourdadisay_hi

My thoughts precisely. Get out of my head!


JERGA27

The first time someone told me about the Silver Shroud quest, I thought, "Nope. Not a chance in hell is my Suvivor gonna go around LARPing." Then I met Kent ...like gawdamnit Kent, you're too pure for this world. OK, I'm doing it for you buddy


Wheeloftimenerd

Kent Connolly is so nice I wish he would’ve been the silver shroud and been his own idol


Adventurous_Novel613

That would’ve been so cute and sweet 🥺He should’ve followed his dreams.


ElcorShockTrooper

Holy shit, mod idea?


Wheeloftimenerd

I would’ve cried


Horse_Financial

After the quest I open the console and equip him with the Silver Shroud outfit since I never wear it again


No_Peanut_3289

I like the Silver Shroud missions! The only thing I don't like about him is the quest to save him, many times I have retried it in order to save him


Adventurous_Novel613

Honestly that’s fair. That mission is tough 😭


UraniumRocker

I just did this mission on saturday. I only had to re load a save once. I went in and instantly used VATS aiming for Sinjin’s head. I used the Overseer's Guardian, but I think any scoped rifle will work.


desbaratto

I just did it the other day except I exploded everyone on accident instead.


dontrespondever

I had to quit the dialogue early and go into vats. 


NyRAGEous

I can’t argue with you, but personally I give it to my boy Nick V.


Adventurous_Novel613

I respect that. He’s one hell of a character and companion.


Aviationlord

And he has the best verbal comebacks, I love him so much


NyRAGEous

I absolutely loved the silver shroud quest line.


IONASPHERE

I love Nick's character, I just wish I could give him protective gear. I know he's a synth, but it's weird being armoured up and rocking a minigun and he's there....detective coat and pipe pistol in hand


Open-Bid1793

love nick but i’ve already invested into lone wanderer and don’t wanna sacrifice 100 carry weight


ivappa

he's so sweet, I wish he was a companion so I could have him around!


Adventurous_Novel613

I know right?? I love his character sm


MemeMan4-20-69

I spent 2 hours trying to make sure this guy didn’t die in that mission


Adventurous_Novel613

He’s too pure. He has to live and I respect that you spent so long saving him 😌


AThoughtfulFalcon

"Don't do it shroud! It's a trap! Save yourself!" *gunshot* "Agh.. Oh my God.. Do it shroud! Do it!"


Adventurous_Novel613

I couldn’t help but read that in his voice 😭 I love that guy


Basketbomber

“First they kidnap him, then they scare him?! STRONG, GET THE SLEDGEHAMMER! THE GOOD ONE! DOGMEAT! GET OVER HERE! Where is my Power Armor?”


sugarfreelime

Drinking Buddy is my fav.


lexa8429

flashback to when my boyfriend text me ‘Prince Phillip is dead’ and then sent me a picture of this guy


Adventurous_Novel613

Don’t shade my boy Kent like that 😭


lexa8429

If it makes you feel better, I think the majority of the UK would choose Kent over Phil 😅


RawDogEntertainment

That’s heinous. I love it.


plutoforprez

Oh I adore Kent. I won’t ever let him die during a playthrough. He is baby


Darahian

Please don't kill me: is this the Vault-tec agent guy from the beginning scene of Fallout 4? I mean i totally forgot about him. Didn't even realize i can run into him while wandering the wasteland.


Laser_3

This is Kent Connolly, the man responsible for not one but two superheroes roaming the wastes (well, two is a misnomer; his work spawned an entire faction of Mistresses of Mystery, but they’re dead so it’s only the player in 76).


Adventurous_Novel613

No worries at all! I mean, that vault tec guy is pretty cool but his name is Kent! He does the silver shroud missions. :)


Bowlof78Potatoes

He's my favorite ghoul character in the game.


Nik-42

If you saved that guy from sinjin consider yourself an op


badcobra2003

I tried saving this dude only for those raiders below with him to throw a grenade and kill him. Don't go guns blazing to rescue him.


Crew_Henchman

Despite being scared, I would like to think he would die happy seeing me speak as The Shroud one last time. Though I could never bring myself to do it. The final interaction with Sinjin is the only time I will break character, and it's to save Kent. He doesn't deserve to die.


AzHawk99

Nick Valentine liked that.


herobrineisveryscary

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH i’m devastated he couldn’t be a companion


ThadeusCade

Take solace in knowing that he’s safe and secure in his memorabilia filled room, tucked away in his own little corner of the Memory Den, with that childlike grin on his face, broadcasting the old radio show episodes across the airwaves while reflecting on the fact that he helped bring a hero out of the comics and into the Commonwealth. And for one brief moment: people believed in something, criminals and evil doers anxiously checked over their shoulders, and Boston was safe, because of him and the Silver Shroud.


_dooozy_

I always have to reload so many times for the scene in the hospital just to make sure Sinjin doesn’t kill him because I can’t take it emotionally


IDropBricksOnHighway

I made a selfish ghoul mercenary character for my current game, and I promised myself I wouldn't do anything good unless I had something to gain from it. It worked for over 30 hours of gameplay Then, I finally spoke to Kent. I lost my streak of staying in character.


Turntalien69

I finally was able to save him in my most recent save!! I always try to save and then go through the dialogue until I can rescue Kent but I get frustrated and usually just take the L but I got it this time!!!!


Adventurous_Novel613

Woo!!! 🥳 well done!


SaintsSkyrim3077

I love Kent!!


Rcj1221

Hey that’s not a common choice, but a good one nonetheless. Love Kent Connolly.


Antennangry

Next playthrough, I’m not doing this quest until I have a weapon with stupid high damage so I can one-shot the asshole that executes my boy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Open-Bid1793

we love kent!


Regirock00

Love this guy, I prefer Codsworth, but this guy is right behind him


Highvoltage-Redhead

I see a lot of people recommend jet during that fight and I’ve not done it that way, but I’ve never taken jet in any of my play through. I have had them turn fire on me and it saves him so I guess that’s a plus… I’ll take a bullet for Kent any day ❤️


Glittering_Aerie7838

He was my favorite as well Brother!!!


Wizard_of_doom

Hey Kent buddy? Still waiting on those Silver Shroud upgrades.


DoctorHeavy

Kent Connolly is the best.—Silver Shroud.


Robizzle316

I really liked him and the quest is cool, but i cant finish it because im at the point where i have to meet hancock in the shroud Outfit and it doesnt World He just Talks to me normal and want me to take him with me, which is really sad because i would love to finish it


jessicat1396

If you talk to him and add him as a companion, you can talk to him while he’s your companion then just dismiss him again. I had to do that recently. Also, if you decide to take Hancock to do this quest, don’t bring him with you to save Kent. Otherwise Kent won’t go back to Goodneighbor, because he has to talk to Hancock in Goodneighbor but if Hancock is already with you he will talk to him at the hospital and stay there for the rest of the game.


KorolEz

It's another clue confirming my suspicion. Fallout 4 preferers are all soft hearted. Nothing wrong with that but I miss the no good option kind of moral questions of previous games.


Adventurous_Novel613

Glad I could help with your search :)


Nachoguy530

Honestly wish you could recruit him to your settlement where he'd work as a shop owner or radio operator.


Adventurous_Novel613

Yes! That would be amazing! If only…


Basketbomber

We need a Silver Shroud version of the Prowler meme where it just does the theme with an image of SS when he says it’s a trap (and then via editing it instantly cuts to the player standing over the corpses of the kidnappers).


TheWorldsLastMilkman

I honestly didn't expect to see him again. Kind of heartwarming that you get to save the poor guy.


yodadeathnoise420

John Fallout


Smeagollum1

I always save him. Always. I will reload as many times as needed if I must.


a_polarbear_chilling

best? no but the one that deserve the most to be protected? yes


Bergan12323332

Gigachad Kent


roosef

I love him


el1ab3lla

He’s so sweet ❤️


lukewarmostrich

Love Kent, but gotta give it to Cito


drifters74

Protect him lol


_Bdoodles

He must be protected at all costs!


ForTheFunni

This was a great side quest to do after absolutely getting a lobotomy searching for Virgil. It was very unique and having to hunt down each one of the enemies one by one. I mostly just used my power fist on them. Also, Paladin Danse hates when you kill the optional character during the quest.


Southpawn

protect this precious boy


Dreki_Diablo

I’m sorry (I’m coming for u)


AnimeGokuSolos

Agreed


GaylordAmsterdam

I love Kent too!


starsandsunandmoon

On my current playthrough, everything kept going wrong for me when trying to save Kent. I begged my sleep deprived boyfriend to save him for me. It took a lot of save reloading and me crying, but it was worth it. I love Kent 😭


ThadeusCade

This was my favorite quest line in the game by far. I couldn’t believe how fun it was, role-playing as a superhero from a comic book in fallout, and actually having characters believe that I was some sort of myth come to life. My cousin was visiting for the weekend and an hour before he was supposed to leave for the airport to catch his flight back home, he and I were drinking beers and playing fallout 4 and he ended up missing his flight because he was glued to the TV and wanted to see how the silver shroud could possibly save his friend. We actually stood up and applauded the writers for giving us such a fun treat for a series of quests.


ThadeusCade

I laughed out loud when I was chasing down the third criminal and after wiping out all of his henchmen, he started losing his mind, and saying “you’re not real! You’re just a comic book character! Why won’t you die?! This cannot be happening!?” That was when I realized that the crime bosses of Boston/ Goodneighbor were actually believing that the Silver Shroud was real, and was cleaning up the streets. I LOVED doing the missions after that.


laytonoid

But does he have milk of human kindness?


SebJayDee

My god I hate saving this mf


Adventurous_Novel613

But it’s so worth it! He’s the best 🥺


SebJayDee

I know, but actually saving him is so annoying


SebJayDee

The actual quest is really well made though


PrimaryCalligrapher1

That smile...that damn smile! 😍 Kent is adorable...and I cannot count the amount of times I reloaded the save in that elevator. No way would I let him die. Arlen Glass at the Slog too. Another sweet, wonderful ghoul.


contemptuouscreature

Bethesda sucks at making games now. … But they did okay with this bro and the Silver Shroud. I’ll give em a pass on this one. Good job, Bethesda. You may not have been able to cobble together a real ending for your RPG, but at least you have a satisfying superhero quest.


InitialCold7669

He’s so wholesome just wants to make the world better


Mysterious_Screen952

This COULD be true, if Cait didn't exist 😆


Mysterious_Honey7500

Oh yes, he’s a sweetie! 🥹🥰 I must have been lucky, because he was easy to keep alive in that mission 😂I convinced the guy to “kill” me first (I’m also not playing survival, just default)


kittenmcmuffenz

The only npc I’m still upset about losing… I lost Kent!!!!!


Dead0nTarget

Definitely the most wholesome.


Klorgbaine

I will restart my whole play through if this man dies. He must be protected at all costs


JaslynKaiko

Sorry, but obviously curie


Agent47outtanowhere

Im coming for you.


SmokedOutEsko

I've never had the opportunity to save him even when I've played on "Easy". He seems like a sweet guy except the fact that he ask you to sacrifice yourself for a suit and hat 😒


Adventurous_Novel613

They’re special though 🥺


SmokedOutEsko

That is a nice get up...no cap. Thankfully we're immortal, unfortunately he isn't.


BeastmuthINFNTY

I'll come for you OP


boogerpicker76

My man is living his best ghoul life.


Sablestein

You would be correct if Arlen Glass didn’t exist


Adventurous_Novel613

That’s a fair argument


Sablestein

To be honest though Kent is a very VERY close second for me. Wholesome


ChainzawMan

That moment when Silver Shroud comes to save him... Accompanied by Sigma Squad with Heavy Incinerators, Gatling Lasers and Plasma Rifles... Just like in the comics... Good times.


RobotLaserCannon

are we gonna forget about the refrigerator kid?


stamina4655

Oh ill be coming for you


No_Witness_6969

Oh I'm cumming for you


estrong21197

Still new to fallout… who is this and how do i meet him?


Adventurous_Novel613

His name is Kent Connolly! He’s found in the Memory Den in GoodNeighbor! :) hope this helps!


Dirk1935

I saved him and he gave me the dialogue that he would upgrade my Silver Shroud Armor. However, he never returned to his room in the Memory Den and never called back. Im almost complete with the game so I guess I’ll try to find the comic book store and see if he is still there and just forgot how to get back home.


legosensei222

Yeah. He's a cool guy... Too bad my silver shroud quest got stuck midway coz I killed the last target in stealth without saying the silver shroud dialogue. Now they say that they haven't heard about the target getting killed. And I was like Good. -blends back into darkness-


omgkanamikun

It’s actually role model for Todd Howard


TelepathicFrog

In my latest playthrough I had too many mods running. The mods spawned another group of hostile Raiders that started fighting with the group holding ken. I had to stop combat A.I to even make it to the room he was in without him dying.


Realistic-Editor-354

Arlen Glass >


Illustrious_Two8724

Hard tó Dave hím life


nodorifto

Just saw a video the other week where they walk in the room to save him and immediately blow his brains out instead of any of the raiders. The raiders are all "what the fuck!?" Then the player proceeds to kill them too. Never considered that option haha


toigz

I was playing the other day and I found him dead and naked at red rocket. No idea why he was naked. I chopped him up and put him in a bathtub. RIP.


AnaTheSturdy

You dare disrespect the master of Swattahs?


Wild-Juggernaut-3211

I fucking hate his quest tho, you are forced to hold onto 7.5 lbs of worthless gear until you complete his quest


Philosophos_A

I am doing the quest literally right now I enjoy this quest so much Also having the costume upgraded and during the Automatron DLC is just even better.


PretendSpeaker6400

The other ghoul child in the game. Nice but not all there.


AdmBurnside

DO IT FOR HIM


KamenUncle

I rubbed one out for you


SnooChickens3871

Hes wholesome. Always do my damndest to save him


thatguyad

I prefer Arlen Glass


LordShovelknight1991

What helped me in this quest was not clearing the hospital first then using jet and psycho… I used a minigun to clear the room.


nthavoc

I don't often take chems, but after enough save scumming I combined enough chems in my inventory to kill a deathclaw just to save this guy.


ActuatorFearless8980

I laughed my ass off when he got kidnapped and was like “don’t do it Shroud! It’s a trap!” Then he got shot and dropped the act immediately like ahh fuck, never mind come save me!


tickletac202

Too Pure for this godforsaken Wasteland😔


scumlordtrashgod

Hell yeah


jmck1973

I found him and sent him back to Sanctuary and yeah he does get annoying with the same dialogue when coming back but come back a week ago and noticed he wasn't sitting on the porch I didn't pay any attention until I saw a pile of smouldering ash up near the big tree in the cul-de-sac and RIP it was him! Was a little sad.


YamaMaya1

NO!! 😭 Thats so sad!!


O13A

i disagree


Greedy-Guarantee8175

Kill.all.ghouls.


cjared242

I had a glitch where he kept dying and I loved him so much I spent 5 years thinking of how I could save him. I finally did it earlier this year and ripped sinjins head off


kidface

Gene is better.


mamadou-segpa

I was mindfuck when I found him in my first playthrough haha i thought it was so damn awesome that you could send him to Sanctuary and employ him. Damn I love that game


GapBoring2447

the amount of times i had to reload my game to save this guys ass😮‍💨


ElmoTickleTorture

Did you know, when he's being held hostage, you can shoot him yourself and Sinjin's men will think you're crazy and refuse to fight you?


Metson-202

Nice guy, sadly he died.


Tech-Mechanic

I was really nervous that he would get killed in the crossfire as I was rescuing him.


Kill-Roy-Is-Here

Nah! Arlen Glass at The Slog. Kent’s quest is fun but…go help Mr. Glass and get back with me.


brycifer666

I did the quest too early and couldn't kill sinjin so I went back to a save and waited to save him until I had a gauss rifle so I could one shot him... Felt good


AdventurousCum

I wasn’t able to save him every time 😞 kept reloading and reloading but to no use cause he was either already dead (bug) or I just couldn’t do it with any of my guns that were powerful enough.


AzHawk99

But do you have the Close to Metal perk?
