Blind Betrayal: What I Wanted To Say
Maxson: Flesh is flesh. Machine is machine. The two were never meant to intertwine.
Me: Don't you have cybernetics? You have more metal than Danse!
Honestly, despite the shit even I give him, it's also out of disappointment. I met him back in Fallout 3 and seeing him now makes me sad. I'm seriously writing a fanfic that involves kid him coming with my mcs and getting to be a kid, despite them wandering around and fighting.
I love him, but I hate what he's become because of the Brotherhood
I honestly think Maxson has one of the saddest stories in the series and I may joke about him sometimes, but I don’t think a lot of people in the fandom realize the shit he’s been through/seen (because most make him nothing but fanservice). So, let’s recap.
His father died in battle with the NCR and his mother was abusive and sent him halfway across the country because he wasn’t ‘tough enough.’
The only man who’s ever tried to give him a normal childhood died suddenly.
The older sister-mother figure who raised him was killed in battle a year later (possibly by the Brotherhood).
The Brotherhood treated him terribly and never let him be a child (Rothschild yelling at him in the lab).
He killed a Deathclaw at age thirteen and nearly died, which probably was extremely terrifying and traumatic for him. He was also permanently disfigured from it.
Maxson’s a child soldier and has presumably seen horrific acts of violence and the worst of humanity. He’s had to kill people as young as ten to eleven years old.
He’s seen people who he’s cared deeply for die horrible deaths at an extremely young age.
It’s implied that he’s an alcoholic to cope with the trauma.
Has been brainwashed since birth and has to deal with the stress of being the last Maxson and living up to his name (which is a lot for a little boy).
Has been the Elder of the entire East Coast (Capital Wasteland, Commonwealth) since he was sixteen years old and has to deal with all those people relying on him for protection.
He also has to deal with sending these soldiers, his friends, into battle where they will die. That’s on his conscious.
I completed blind betrayal AGAIN last night. I have notes
Maxon has such a tiny waist and large chest. Why don’t people know this
Maxon is also very angry. How can a person be so angry. He’s just got that leftover ✨gay teenage angst✨
the protections killed me. Also if you chop off their arms they just walk towards you and explode???
danse still has his hood. I have taken it from him over TEN times. Why????
I’m a lesbian but still… I love my autism virtual boyfriend
he’s too easy to convince that he’s worth saving. It took me a while irl to convince my friends of the same things.Make me struggle! Make it more sad!
I tried to kill Maxon but he. Just wouldn’t die. I’m mad. Why is this not an option
I want to be a voice actor now.
Maxon counts on his fingers!!!! The animation is really good
am I actually gay
my boy won’t come with me to murder his evil friends. Why not
hmmmmmmmmmm
i like that I can shit talk Maxon to his face. Good job Todd Howard
I came back and danse has a full set of X-01 PA. Where did you get that? It sure as hell ain’t mine

Flood of blood to the heart
I just don’t know why, if you save Danse’s life, that if you turn on the BoS he hates you. Like, come on, homie, I put my neck on the line for you, and then because I turn on the people who WANTED TO KILL YOU, you’re giving me the silent treatment?
It hurts my soul, Danse Danse Revolution.
The fact that it’s possible that Elder Maxson does not always kill Paladin Danse (or force you to kill him) at the end of blind betrayal is honestly baffling to me. Here you have an extremist whose goal is literally to destroy the institute and all their synths but he leaves this one. Why? Because he values you?
If this experience taught him anyting it should be that anyone he trusts could be a synth. The Sole’s instistence on sparing Danse should be a sign that they’re a synth sympathizer. They don’t line up with the Brotherhood’s ideals. Maybe this person that just popped out of nowhere claiming to be from a random vault is a synth too.
At least if he does end up sparing Danse.. He shouldn’t let YOU come back. He shouldn’t promote you. It makes no GODDAMN sense. YOU LITERALLY DIDN’T EVEN DO WHAT HE TOLD YOU TO. Idk man that decision could have been a really difficult one to make if there were actual consequences… It should have been the Brotherhood or Danse’s life.. no way you should be able to have both…
...I have a Deacon?
