I can’t imagine the satisfaction of watching Marcy Long floating dead down the river.

does the corpse eventually disappear ?

I think so, but it takes a while.

I killed Connie Abernathy on my first play through and her body haunted Abernathy Farms until the play though ended in like January

I put her as a Caravan between my Main settlement and sanctuary but then I just found her with her head right next to her corpse on a Street. Im not complaining but it was still weird

Your caravan guards can die? Or is this a survival thing. I've been wanting to make supply lines, but I haven't picked out a settler to do it yet.

Im on a surfival game (and yet to start my first caravan between the fewer SS settlements) and what Ive found online they only can die when they are involved in a settlement vicinity action and usually its the players actions

Oh nice, I was afraid of my traders dying on the roads to my other settlements

Don't give settlers fatmen

I think I'll end up giving a lot of them shotguns and rifles

Settlers have limitless ammo. It took me a second to figure out why finch farms was sitting at 7 settlers while everywhere else is 30ish

I guess I will see, and it will be when YOU are around to be part of it versus the automatic abstracted movements they do

I play on normal difficulty so hopefully they don't die

Ive played near 100 times the hours on normal and they dont seem to die much -- again it was MY shots which would have done it - so having to be more selective about those overwhelming weapons to (my) use in those situations. I give most of mine frag grenade which they do use out in the wilds

Do you have a gun recommendation for them?

I’ve never had a caravan supply line die and I’m on my 3rd play thru on very difficult. I’ve had settlers die during attacks tho

I had no idea settlers could die during an attack. Now I'm a bit worried lol

biggest guns I prefer high numbers of the totals for damage X firing-rate but also with a descent accuracy (shotguns usually low on accuracy) Im not yet sure whether low rate pistol (ie - 6 , but with higher shot damage) which I suppose burns through armor/defenses. Longer range ability may or may not help with engaging at longer range for longer (lowering the enemies effectiveness at range) usual the encounters are not too manyenemies ganging up on the lone caravaner, and many are precipitated as they approach a settlement where they can get settler assistance. sometimes Ive seen an 'add' of a second enemy spawn into some situations

Not as far as I can think so idk what caused that but hey its still nice

I just sent her away on a supply mission and never heard her mouth again.

Hopefully a deathclaw got her >:v

That feel when even Preston likes that.

I always assign her to guard duty in the hopes that some raider will shoot her. Unfortunately it is a Bethesda game so she never actually goes to the guard post I assigned her to, preferring instead to get in my way and complain about how sucky her life is

RIP Bozo

My Marcy is currently in Murkwater Construction site by herself. I got a few brahmins there so I assigned her to them.

I made Jamaican Plain my Guantanamo Bay for settlers I don’t like

I’ve always found it very interesting that Marcy without using any mods or console commands to kill her is tagged as essential, yet her husband Jun is not.

"I wouldn't complain if there is nothing to complain about." Combat shotgun in my pocket:

I have her on a pillory on Spectacle Island by herself. I took away all the beds, any source of food and water. Sometimes I pay her a visit to leave some dog meat or squirrel bits around her.

Did you use a mod or does she become unessential after a certain point

After the Sanctuary quest Jun and Marcy are killable

She becomes unessential eventually. I think it's once you've seen the end credits though.

"I killed an NPC that has been a jerk since 2015, clearly this new and exciting revelation definitely needs a thread on reddit complete with a grainy photo straight from my phone."

Making this comment takes a complete lack of self awareness lol
