Hi everyone, thanks for the interest! Incidentally, if you want to understand the build I designed for this playthrough, you can read the research paper on it here:

You guys and your pacifism talk. Tell you what, you beat Fallout 4 without anyone dying, and you can put pacifism in the title of the video. I could feel this firestorm coming from a mile away, that’s why I didn’t *put* pacifism in the title.

Everyone’s sayin’ it, now I’m sayin’ it.

The title of these videos doesn’t have the word “pacifism” in it for a reason. Because it’s not possible to beat Fallout 4 and not have anyone die.

It’s never a waste if you had fun. And I did, despite my foul-mouth.

Hey thanks.

I’ve heard save-scrubbing as well. Scumming is more accurate though.

Unfortunately, there are too many places in the game that would break you out of sneak to have a chat. If you simply crept past everyone, they’d jump you at that point.

Also, you can’t complete the Minutemen questline until the seven raiders in the Museum of Freedom are dead. If you can’t actually literally actually go…

You’re right, I didn’t. I did use it on the Courser, but I didn’t know she had one for Skinny.

Because I didn’t do much research on the quests. I do end up using Mama Murphy’s sight to disable the Courser though. And it all worked out in the end.

I was pretty bummed. That was one place where I should have been able to avoid combat, but one of the triggermen kept popping through the door at random. I had to convince the dame to bash her boyfriend’s brain in.

Par for the course, I guess.

Not impossible. You’d have to be careful, but a certain level of Gunslinger has chance to disarm or injure a limb. Of course, if you shoot someone in the arm enough, they’ll drop their gun. They just won’t ask themselves if going in with their fists is a solid plan B.

I didn’t find this trick, but save-scrubbing on a quest turn-in with idiot savant is by far, BY FAR, the biggest exp exploit. I gain levels twice or three times as fast as I would if I were just shooting everyone.

Actually, I have a full time job, go to a university, and have a lovely girlfriend. it’s just a pleasant combination of off-season for my job and semester break right now. But thanks for noticing.

Hence the lack of the word “pacifism” in the video titles.

You know, you’re right. Anyone could have done this, up to a point. The real breakthroughs were in thinking out the problems where using Intimidation wasn’t going to work.

Hence the lack of the word “pacifism” in the video titles.

The only thing you have to kill yourself in Fallout 3 is the radroach in the tutorial.
You don’t have to kill anything personally or otherwise in New Vegas. Not even kind of.
