Prologue
NPCs
- Nora (your wife)
- Sean (your infant son)
- Codsworth (your charismatic robot butler)
Welcome to Fallout 4! Enjoy the thrilling movie, and afterward, you'll find yourself safely back at home. Take a few minutes to choose your character's appearance, then confirm it to begin the game. As you explore the house, remember that there are no unlockable items yet, but you can interact with many things. You'll have to wait until the prologue is over to begin the looting adventure.
When you enter the kitchen, Codsworth, your robot butler, will greet you with hot coffee. Shortly after, your baby son, Sean, will wake up and demand attention, prompting Codsworth to check on him. Follow him and interact with Sean. Then, someone will ring the doorbell, and your wife, Nora, will ask you to come over. Open the door to find a Vault-Tec representative (who looks suspiciously like Todd Howard). Regardless of your dialogue options, he will acknowledge your family in Vault 111 and will also give you the option to create an open character build and choose a name for them.
After the representative leaves, you'll get a short break, and then things quickly begin to change. Hmm, and curiously, the Vault-Tec car is still parked in front of the house. Anyway, Codworth wants you to check on Sean again. Interact with it, then turn your cell phone. You'll hear a commotion in the living room from the butler. Head there to see news reports about the start of a nuclear war and look outside to see all your neighbors frantically fleeing. Here it goes...
Exit the house when the door opens and head west with the general flow of people. At the vault checkpoint, you'll see the Vault-Tec representative being denied registration (sorry, Todd). Talk to the officer and proceed through the gate when you can. Approach the elevator and speak to your wife to see a light show behind her. After the elevator descends underground, take the stairs and into the reception area. You'll notice a green marker above the heads of NPCs distributing clothing. You can use these markers throughout the game to navigate to your current objective.
Take the Vault 111 jumpsuit and follow the doctor to the room with the suspicious-looking cameras. Comfort your son, then interact with the "decontamination chamber." Don't ask questions.
