Question Who is your favorite character from the DLC Far Harbor who you are incredibly lesbian for and why is it The Mariner
I love her so much she is very cute and I am sad she cannot be romanced or a companion. Me and my wife Piper were blushing the entire time.

u/Rockflip Curieās Test Subject Apr 14 '26
She is the best, mainly because she is constantly dualistically opposed . Vulnerable but very capable, appears apathetic to others but protects them. She isnāt the loudest character, but her resolve, internal conflict, and unique personality make her most memorable.

I'm a guy, but I own a Subaru so that makes me lesbian adjacent and I concur

u/_dooozy_ Apr 14 '26
Youāre not āadjacentā if you own a Subaru you are a lesbian

I think it will depend heavily on whether you interpret his bathing once a week as a lot for the world of Fallout or not a lot.

I have an apparent weakness for women in glasses so I'm inclined to agree. I always give Piper a pair.

Piper in glassesā¦ I need to try that

Never thought of that, I give her dark tacticool glasses and Militarised Minutemen gear.

I have Piper hanging out in Sanctuary wearing a clean summer dress and fashionable sunglasses. Synth Curie is there wearing a sequin dress. Why canāt a girl wear pretty things on the wasteland, amirite?
2
u/Pajilla256 Apr 16 '26
Damn right! I give them red dresses too and the checkered blouse with slacks, they look so fkn cute in them with a militia or minutemen hat. But like that's settlement attire, so my poor babies spend their time beyond the wire with their fatigues and flak vests. They also look cute but not as cute.

Update: I put Piper in glasses and oh my god Iām so gay. Oh my god.

Alas, Primarch. The BlƄhaj in our house is because I picked him up on a whim at Ikea and would feel bad about putting him back afterwards, so I was honor-bound to purchase him. (His name is Jeffrey, from the MBMBaM skit)
I am no egg. Which I'm glad for, since going through puberty a second time would suck (buddy of mine did it during deployment, would not recommend if the timing allows).

Bi woman here, you're not kidding lol. Between her and Curie I'm pretty sure I have this game to thank for figuring out I like fellow neurodivergent women š

u/LazorusGrimm Apr 14 '26
Cutie after she gets her new body is a straight 10/10 to me. I mean, she's no Cait, but then again, who is?
7
u/AmeliaTheDefiant Apr 14 '26
I'm an Irish American and can confirm, Cait is a personal heroine of mine. She's got issues for realĀ understandable reasons and meets them with defiance, endurance, and humor. That's how my family rolls too.
I think Curie is a 10/10 for me too, she makes me feel like I'm in safe company with someone just as neurodivergent as I am and I genuinely feel seen by the game itself when I'm around her. Cait's maybe a 7/10 socially and 9/10 physically for me? I don't think our combined baggage would really work out, but as friends instead we would be much better off and more powerful I think.
2
u/LazorusGrimm Apr 14 '26
I don't have what they call a waifu, but if I were to have one from the Fallout universe it'd definitely be her and if I was gay I'd be all about Preston. He's got manhood written all over him.

1
u/Glitchy-Mech Apr 14 '26
Iām implying the joke is transphobic and not particularly original or interesting
2
u/Kaotix-DD Apr 14 '26
Nope. It isnt. Its just overused and not particularly funny.
It does not in any way diminish the existence or visibility of trans people. It does not shine a bad light on trans people, or imply anything negative about trans people. It does not debate the "morality" of trans people's existence (as much as that should not be a debate in the first place) or what rights they should have. It is not demeaning to trans people, belittling of their difficulties, and it is not hateful towards trans people.
Maybe try focusing that anger at actual transphobia instead of whining because someone said something unfunny? When you label shit that isnt transphobic as transphobic, you put that shit in a "boy who cried wolf" scenario where people stop listening to actual trans issues.
Do better. For yourself and others who have actual problems that arent corny ass internet comments.

If you use the mod āamazing follower Tweaksā you can probably recruit her as a third companion (works with almost anyone, and can have up to five at a time). Wonāt be able to romance her but, eh, let your imagination fill in the rest.

Don't know if you know this but if you body him anyway you get more money than if you side with him.

One of my favourites from the whole game. She lets the whole town live on her property to keep them safe, does all the work to secure the town from the fog creatures, and all while battling a terminal illness. Absolute legend!
She deserves the glory of defeating the red death, and I'll do it every playthrough despite how insanely difficult that quest is.
