    When Slag starts his little countdown, I in turn have myself a quick lunch of Yao Guai ribs, a Nuka Cherry, and take some Orange Mentats. Then, by the time he gets to 2, I'm already shooting. My philosophy in this situation is...Never mess with a pissed off, pre-war housewife, carrying a fully-auto Combat Rifle, loaded with explosive .45 rounds. Especially when matters of family are involved.

      xL3G1TxN4T1ONx Well, I only say "housewife" because, in the holotape Nate left her, he says that she'll, quote, "have to dust off her law degree.." Meaning, she wasn't practicing. More than likely, putting the career on hold to be a stay-at-home Mom for a while. Thus making her a housewife.

    When I did this quest, I decided to take the poetic route. I had the Pain Train skill maxed out and had X-01 Power Armor when I faced the boss. I sprinted up the stairs and sprinted into him, sending him straight into The Forge. He didn't die right away, even got a few swipes in at me, but I shot at him a couple times and made sure that The Forge's fire was what finally killed him. Poetic justice at it's finest. If they had gravestones, I would've put on it, "He died as he lived, by the hand of The Forge."

    Oh man, my first play through I screwed the Finchs in every way possible, and none of it was intentional. First, I killed Jake during the fight at the Ironworks while wildly throwing grenades, and then to make matters worse, during an invasion I blew Abigail's head off when I mistook her for a raider. Awful. And as if that wasn't bad enough, before I even noticed that I'd killed her, I looted her. (I like to loot the Invaders and equip the armor and weapons on my settlers.) OMG. Horrible! I didn't know what to do, so I just put her body on her bed.
    I came back later to check on the farm, and Abraham and Daniel were just standing there looking at her. I felt so rotten. Probably the worst I've ever felt about a gaming experience. Empathy can be a real bitch.
    I waited for night to fall, then dragged her body out of the cabin and threw her in the river while her family was sleeping.
    I avoided Finch's Farm for quite a while after that, but finally went back when they were invaded again. After we kicked the snot out of the Forged, Abraham and Daniel were so effusive in their thanks. They were saying how terrible their lives would have been if not for me. If they only knew!!!
    On the one hand, I was pleased that they didn't hold it against me, OR at least not KNOW that I killed half the family, but on the other hand, I still feel pretty badly about how the whole thing went down.
    So, um, yeah. I always go out of my way to make sure the Finch family gets a happy ending now. Except my latest character went straight from the vault to Nuka World for a raider play through. I gotta figure out a way to let the Finch familyhave their peace. Maybe I can just avoid them altogether?
    Thanks for reading!

    As far as where Slag is from I would say he is probably from the Pitt. Possibly raiding to get slaves for the Pitt. After all Jake does mention prisoners. Depending on if the mutations that plague the Pitt have been cured or not at this point in time the Pitt would still need slaves. Marie from the Pitt would have only been around 10 or 11 years old by the time Fallout 4 happens so the amount of time that they could have actively been looking for the the cure wouldn't have been long. The Mutations from the Pitt might also explain Slag's insanity.

    Okay, I made a post on your recent video about this; however, I wanted to say thank you again. I cleared the Forge, saved Jake, didn't save the settler, and completely missed the Dampening Coil, bobblehead, and book.
    Also, I was using a Super Sledge when fighting Slag, and when I killed him in VATS I literally knocked him out of his Armor. He was laying on the ground and his armor was standing there marked as owned, but accessible. I have no Mods, and couldn't find anything about this in a brief search.
    Preston was my companion, and Slags armor showed as owned so I was planning to return anyway.
    I'll pick those missed items up when I do. Thank you for the videos, and the lore.

    • @lifecapricious
      @lifecapricious 5 років тому

      FYI: I went back to get the armor. It still showed owned. I took the armor, went to red rocket where I store my armors for now, and even after leaving it still shows owned. So I knocked him out of his armor, he's dead, but every time I use his armor I'm stealing.

    I actually have a theory about the Forged I would like to run past you all. Since Slag comes from outside the Commonwealth, set up shop in the old Iron works, and actually seems to know something about how to process metal, it makes me think he is a Raider from The Pitt. All the signs are there. I am guessing he moved from The Pitt to the capital Wasteland after the Vault Dweller finished with the Pitt. He heard about the Commonwealth and thought it would be a good place to start his own Raider Clan. It would even explain his Power armor, since the Brotherhood of Steel had left a few suit behind in the Pitt after the Scourge.

    And , finally, in the end fight against , ehm, you- know-who, I ran around like a rabbit in panic at the bottom of that room, desperately trying to hide somewhere. Only with the help of enormous amounts of Jet, Psycho and other good stuff I made it, barely. It was terribly hard.
    The second time I went in a level 50 character and was done early enough for some sun bathing at the Finch Farm afterwards.

    I kept getting killed by the Forged and their Flamers, till one time I ran to the Pool that Wiseman ran and they followed me. Luckily one of the trade caravans was there too and the combined firepower of me, the Caravan boss and the 2 guards killed the Outer guards. I swiped the Cage armor and their weapons and made it in. Got killed a few times INSIDE too but me and Cogsworth slaughtered our way all through to Slagg and Jakes' initiation.

    One of the things I love most about your videos is that it shows how thoughtful you are with the characters. Turning Jake into a provisioner, giving him time to mature (and probably some much needed separation from his family), then after some time, returning him home shows a large amount of kindness and concern. You're a good settlement leader to be so invested in the lives of those in your 'care'.

      The reason for the seemingly high tech developments in a seemingly low tech world is due to the fact that the transistor was never invented. The transistor is the successor to Fallout's technology, vacuum tubes. The transistor allowed the microchip to be invented. Fallout's technology doesn't run on transistor technology, but instead use vacuum tubes. That's why they have nuclear powered robots but black and white large vacuum tube powered TVs.

  • @FloridaManWithAnAxe

    Slag probably came from a town where parents feed kids raw meat and beat them with sticks. Honestly, if Slag if used the Saugus Ironworks forges to make iron products, a possible theory is that Slag may use the forged iron as a way to make caps, because steel and iron are valuable materials. He would possibly sell the metals to the highest buyer who will pay the most caps and to make himself look tough be immediately killing the buyer afterwards to just get the money and keep the metal as well as grab the loot the buyer has, another theory is that he could use the metal for construction and repairs on the Ironworks, he can also use the metal to make defenses, armor, weapons, and even ammunition.
    It's a shame that you couldn't find a peaceful way out, but it was a good try anyway, Slag and his gang of Forged may be ruthless but their overconfidence led to their downfall...

    Daniel Finch is one of the named settlers that has a separate cap account, hence if you make him a trader by assigning it to a stall he will have his own inventory, including caps. The other two are Connie Abernathy and June Warwick at the eponymous farms. Most settlers that can be assigned to stalls do not have their own inventory, meaning when you drain the caps from one, it will also drain the caps from every other settler assigned to a similar stall type. Named recruitable settlers can also have the same issue: Vault-Tec Representative and Tina deLuca most preeminently.

    It wouldn't surprise me if Slag was from Pittsburgh, The Pitt in the Fallout universe. His obsession with strength as well as the general factory and fire theme seems to go well with that, as in FO3 The Lone Wanderer cleared out the raiders in The Pitt (I'm assuming that's the Canon ending) and cured the sickness. Slag is probably one of those that survived after Asher died and left. The entire quest with the Finch farm as well as how Slag behaves and how the forged behave really seem to fit with The Pit from FO3.
    Either way, great vid Ox, As always :)

    I walked up to behind Slag when he was threatening Jake, shot out his fusion core, stole his power armor, gave the chest piece a "flames" paint job, and it now resides at Finch Farm as a trophy or for usage during the next settlement attack.

    I love this channel I already built a lot of settlements (meaning a water pump) but after watching some of your vids I started a new play through and am building at all the settlements currently working on the slog.

    Damn, I won Jake over to leave the Forged, but killed him in the firefight with Slag and his goons.
    Very nice of you to let Jake supply other settlements, and see the world before letting him settle in at Finch Farm.
    Nice option for another playthrough with a diffedrent character. Thx for sharing :)

    For some reason I spent 45 minutes reloading my save trying to save both settlers and when I finally did it… she died to a hanging grenade

    I finally bought Fallout 4, 7 years later. Love the Lore series. I watched many years ago, but it’s great now finally playing the game and revisiting it all.

    I used God Mode on one of my Alt saves, I had beaten Slag with a Tire Iron. Best thing I’ve seen in Fallout 4 so far.

    5:29 I think the Minutemen existed at that time, only just before the Sole Survivor woke up did they cease to exist, that's why you may meet them at Concord. As it was a recent event.

    it might be because she doesnt have a farm and a family to worry about, OR maybe its because she's in a GOD DAMN POWER ARMOR

    Well I did this quest for the minutemen and watching your video made me realize I missed the bobblehead and the magazine.
