![]() The second, Nerd Rage, was opened only after Roy Batty's conversation with Father. ![]() To become more aware and ultimately, more human, he must embrace his inner machine. It also allowed him to finally see the world the way a machine would and it was a bittersweet decision from an rp perspective. I only took Awareness after my conversation with DiMa to represent Roy Batty finally realizing that he is a synth. While all my perks are taken to ultimately maximize Roy Batty's roleplaying potential in Fallout, two perks, in particular were chosen at very specific gameplay moments. Four symbolizes the total number of replicants that were in Roy Batty's group in the film and six symbolizes his model number Nexus 6. On purpose, I only took this build to level 46. It seems like I have taken a lot of perks, but not all perks are fully developed. I got out of ballistic weapons rather quickly though. Good early weapons, however, include Righteous Authority, Kellogg's Pistol, and Deliverer. There are better weapons in the game, but none, to me, drove home the point of Batty more than these two. One owned by Swann, the human turned Behemoth and known for his savagery. I loved the dichotomy between the two weapons. Weapons: The Furious Power Fist and Prototype UP77 "Limitless Potential", the prototype laser gun found at University point. It doesn't make for a very high AR, but the aesthetic matches what Batty wears in the beginning of the film quite well and it gives you a bit of dramatic intensity when you engage in fights. Outfit: Drifter Outfit followed by the Courser uniform once Roy Batty kills the Courser in Hunter/Hunted, upgraded with moderate Ballistic weave, only through rank 3. And I could not deny Nerd Rage as the ultimate RP tool and what I could use to really convey his Replicant power and anger. The other route was to increase his strength or perception, and there are some noteworthy perks there, but if you listen to his dialogue in Blade Runner, especially in his talk with Tyrell, you'll understand why I went full intelligence. SPECIAL: In a departure for me, this is my most Bobble head heavy build, and yes, notice the very high intelligence. How does this translate to Fallout 4's world? Well, in a build that unlocks Batty's "Limitless Potential" by focusing on unarmed and energy weapons using VATS, chems, and perks to recreate the strength, agility, and endurance of the Nexus 6 replicant, and giving him a thoughtful quest arc that expands upon his story in Blade Runner and places it in the context of the Fallout 4 universe. He becomes, depending on your interpretation of the film, more human than the actual humans. More so than Deckard, Batty's experience in Blade Runner is a journey to spiritual empathy, full of symbolism. It was very cool to me, and I had been toying with a Roy Batty build even before the Cyperpunk 2287 Event rolled out. The questions of their humanity, their survival skills, their confrontations with Tyrell and Father. If you think about the plot of Blade Runner and Fallout 4, you can't help but notice the parallels between the story of Roy Batty, Blader Runner's main "antagonist" and the Sole Survivor.
