Early in the game, many players may have stumbled upon the quest to give Diamond City radio personality Travis some confidence. This takes them to the Beantown Brewery, where a raider named Tower Tom can be found and killed. Hacking his terminal reveals that he had kidnapped a rival gang member named Lily, the little sister of the rival outfit’s leader, Red. Tom had been extorting food supplies from the other group, threatening harm on Red’s little sister if the food supply stopped. At some point, Tower Tom accidentally killed Lily, and hid her body in one of the vats in the brewery so no one would know. He began forging the notes to Red, hoping that the big sister would keep sending food supplies for as long as possible.
For many, the story ended there. However, if players stumble onto the Federal Ration Stockpile near the southeast corner of the commonwealth, they will find Red and her gang. Inside Red’s room is the letters that Tom sent, and Red’s terminal reveals a distraught big sister desperate to rescue her little sister. She is suspicious about a potential forgery in the letters, but doesn’t let that stop her search for her little sister. If the player has already killed Tower Tom, Red’s terminal reflect that the Beantown Brewery was cleared out, but there were no signs of her sister. She has sent her gang members throughout the commonwealth to look for her, absolutely refusing to give up.
The player knows that Lily has been dead for months, and it’s tragic to see Red had desperately continued a search that would never yield any fruit. Since she fights the player on sight, it’s safe to say that if she encounters the player, she dies never knowing what became of her sister. Perhaps it was for the better.
What do you think about the sad tales in Fallout 4, Ranters? Are there any you think deserved to be on the list?
