look, in all my time on fo4 tumblr and on the fo4 subreddit where hatred runs rampant, ive still only seen two valid criticisms of the railroad as a faction. ever.

(im putting aside the whole entire slavery allegory for the purposes of this post)

these two criticisms are:

if you (yes, you. the player) fundamentally disagree with the notion that synths are sentient people, the organization makes no sense and is useless. i cant change your bedrock beliefs on what constitutes a person, so this criticism stands

the mind wipes might border on unethical. the idea is good and well-intentioned, but it kinda sucks in practice. synths can choose not to have the procedure, but the railroad's catastrophizing about what will happen if they dont feels coercive sometimes. i could probably be convinced otherwise, but i think this is a pretty good point

thats it. there are no more. im absolutely open to (and would love, actually) yall trying to change my mind but just know that if your criticisms are:

they're short-sighted; the organization will eventually dissolve because there will be no more synths left to help

they have no plan nor reason to help synths post-institute; the moment the institute explodes, so does the railroad

they're too narrow-minded; they should be helping people too, not just synths

by destroying the institute, they're stopping the production of synths; this nullifies their efforts in saving synths and is even, dare i say, hypocritical

their password being railroad is far too simple and the freedom trail is too easy to follow; theyre just asking for another switchboard

[insert member of the railroad, usually desdemona] is mean; the organization is full of assholes

then ur efforts will be wasted on me. all of these criticisms are bad <3

#and i would be very happy to tell you why #i really love the railroad so much and it hurts my fragile little heart that so many people shit all over them bc they just dont understand #those clickbaity youtube 'essays' about how the railroad sucks can pound sand #i'd love to talk about this with literally anyone. give me ur railroad criticisms #i will gobble them up and return with a full essay and a works cited page #anyway #fallout 4 #deacon #the railroad #fallout 4 railroad #deacon joseph railroad #synths #oldworld.txt

Something I HC about the Institute - they know exactly where the Railroad are at Old North Church. If they figured out the Switchboard, I see no reason why their surveillance, coursers and anyone with a history book at CIT are going to figure out a red line on the ground. They're going to hear "follow the freedom trail" and laugh and sit on the information until it's useful to swoop in on HQ.

I mean, if the Institute is watching the Sole Survivor as they follow the canon path to finding the Railroad? Then the SoSu leads Shaun straight to Old North Church anyway. Sure the player needs a fun narrative means of finding the Railroad but whatever the opsec was for the Switchboard, this is ostensibly worse

Charmer

Silas “Charmer” Orion, 33, he/him, pansexual. Railroad espionage and infiltration specialist. He’ll opt to charm or disarm with words, but if he doesn’t think that’s possible, they won’t see him until it’s too late.

(Candid photo of him taken by his girlfriend, Chloe Goodman, with a camera she managed to repair.)

Is it just me or when i heard about the railroad, i was excited for crazy train obsessed people who had a little underground railroad (literally).

The whole thing where The Railroad was really just a nickname for the synth underground railroad never caught onto me until i met them.

#fallout 4 #fallout 4 railroad #railroad #i swear if i don't get crazy train conductors im killing Desdemona and taking over the railroad and making them crazy train conductors.

"Back before I met you, I'd go whole days without massacring a bunch of things. Honest."

I love this man too much. I'd say send help, but it's too late for me. Save yourself.

either someone at bethesda had their epiphany for this railroad character's name while listening to this song OR, and hear me out: livin' on a prayer and, by extension, jon bon jovi is canon in the fallout universe and deacon thought that shit would be reeeealllll funny. where r my meta essayists

#had a MOMENT when this song came on the radio yesterday #had to turn the radio off and sit in silence for a moment #whoever you are bethesda employee. im looking directly at you.#fallout 4 #fallout 4 railroad #fo4 #deacon fallout 4 #deacon #oldworld.posting

You have beef with Desdemona because you subconsciously associate women in authority with that one teacher from second grade and imagine them to be shrill and unreasonable without any actual evidence.

I have beef with Desdemona because if you betray the Railroad, she chooses to use her last moments on earth to berate Deacon for no reason whatsoever.

We are not the same.
