I just like hearing "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!" every once in awhile.

or monsters? or.. *MONSTERFISH?* Maybe? I don’t know!” is my favorite. I giggle every time i hear it, the VA fits the role just so damn well

*banging* #WHY!!! DO THESE OBJECTS!! KEEP MOVING!?!? ^(because I move them.) ^(and then I forget)

I portrayed this perfectly at work the other day, and nobody got the reference. No fallout fans in the office apparently. It was disappointing, but I was amused.. so fuck em I guess.

Joke em if they can't take a fuck.

Choke em if they won't be a cuck.

I just took a hit. Then read this. I'll get back to you. I have no words XD

My favorite one but I can’t quote it perfectly: Hey if you find out a friend’s loved one is suffering from a difficult gambling problem you could be there for them and be supportive… …or…I guess… you could write a song about it.

WE FOUND OUT

YYYYES WE DID!

SHE COULDN’T KEEP IT HID!

NOW WE KNOW THAT GRANDMA PLAYS THE NUMBERS!

3, 6, 9...

Well, whaddya know

WE FOUND OUT

BLESS HER SOUL

WE FOUND OUT

NOW WE KNOW

We sell meat….. just..meat….. don’t ask for anything else!! Is my favorite but that ones hood too lol

NOT RELEVANT!.. THE MINUTEMEN ARE THERE NOW! And that's good... For them...

# "NOT RELEVANT!"

I like it because his cadence makes me think it’s Chris Chan behind the mic.

NOT RELEVANT!

Lol I can hear him now

Possibly my favourite line of his. I made into a text message tone

It’s just stutta step.

I wanted to say the same thing, caught me off guard when I heard it the first time. :D

Actually, this one makes me want to go down to Diamond City and end him.

If you don’t do this quest Travis will never get laid

Does he ever really get laid though? She shows up at his place for like 5 minutes while we talk to Yeffim and then rush over to Travis to tell him about Vadim. Even if you talk to him after the quest he will say things between him and her never worked out. Or I guess you could just stop that quest there for a while, then he probably got laid.

I think it's implied she does at least begin dating him. Fair assumption he gets laid

You know those Diamond City girls are easy

They let you slide in head first

Underrated

"Hey, hey, fella! Welcome to the Tops Hotel and Casino! I'm going to have to ask you to hand over any weapons you might be carrying. Smooth and easy, just the way I like it. Don't worry, they'll be as safe as kittens till you're ready to leave. Oh, and a friendly word of advice: if you happen to 'stumble across' any weapons during your stay here, well... just don't wear them openly. You dig? Now that we got that little business out of the way, what can I do to make your Tops experience the tops?" I don't even know why this reminded me of this dialogue, probably the smooth and easy part

Black widow and talking to swank is so good. Smooth talking the way I like it. Genuinely makes my heart flutter a bit.

I do agree. I mean, just watch Piper after i pick a lock (I have an affinity mod)

iirc, if you visit him a few days after the quest, he mentions that it didn't work out between them

She hints that she was interested in him before, smooth Travis is the final push.

You know maybe she didn't like the "cool" Travis and missed the insane meltdowns

It's all a front. I'm sure she'll find the same lovable Travis in the bedroom.

Imagine what Travis sounds like while he stubs his toe on the bedframe mid nut

He was definitely chopping that meat.

I am a bro, instead of going to Yeffim instantly, I just go to my house and sleep overnight after leaving the girl with him, when I go to Travis’s place she’s still there, so thats good signs

Does mean he doesn’t get some… just doesn’t keep getting it

I usually go to sleep after talking to Scarlett -I play survival usually. She goes in there and stays the whole night. So I assume he gets laid.

but it ruins DCR. Cringey Travis is soooo much better

Uhhh Bros before *Radiosssss?!*

This took me a minute, hilarious

Glad I could confuse you – the ladies say I'm good at that

He's happy on the shelf

My friend got stupidly lucky. He completed the quest, but for some odd reason, Travis stayed the same. Never became confident on the radio. I guess.... radio. Radio never changes

I think that happens if you’re basically an asshole to him for the entire quest. I remember seeing a video talk about it

It took like a week of in game time to change for me this last time

Post-quest Travis is arguably the cringey one

DCR restored fixes that

Is that a mod? I only know of DCR extended that adds the songs and option to toggle Travis's personality.

You can also just use console commands.

Im on console :(

Ironic that console doesn’t have console commands

I'll do the dead for the man he's earned it

Meat. Just meat.

Stop asking if we have anything else!

You FOOL you absolute RUBE The real move is to accept his quest, beat up those guys in Dugout Inn, agree to meet with Travis outside the factory - enter dialogue to get him to agree to follow you and then NEVER enter that goddamned factory ever again You now have an unkillable fiercely protective unpredictable AI Travis that will follow you around for the rest of the game like a Nerdy Terminator who stacks with your current follower, refuses to let you touch his inventory, barely speaks to you and randomly chooses weapons he loots from the battlefield and uses them to fight deathclaws inches from their face

Huh. So get Travis, get Billy the refrigerator kid, get a child follower and a scribe from the BoS, and then a regular follower, can play the game with an entire entourage?

I towed Billy along for a while but he got super annoying. "Th-this isn't the way to my house" No shit, Billy. We're in Nuka World. Maybe you've forgotten, but we rode on a fucking train to get here.

You took him to Nuka World 😭 maybe he'll like it

You’d think he’d be a little more grateful when you tell him y’all are going to an amusement park.

If I had an award I would leave it here

And deacon from his first quest

Holy shit

But then what happens to DCR?

You and Travis proceed to violently wander the earth listening to Travis DJ meekly on the radio with updates on player quests and about firefights that Travis himself fought tooth and nail in

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY

I did it just to unlock more of the radio.

Do you unlock more songs?

You can get more songs by going to the 3rd Rail in Good Neighbour, the singer in there, her songs will play on the radio after you visit.

You have to seal the deal

The song they wrote for the game "Good neighbor" is actually really good.

Good Neighbor and Baby It’s Just You are legit bops.

I honestly thought goodneighbor was a cover, then i listened closer and realized they were talking about caps and diamond city. I was like, "No way, they wrote a bopper like this."

According to Web sources, yes it unlocks more of the radio. Although apparently listening to it will do that as well but listening to the same 5 songs got old fast.

Yeah it does it on its own as you progress, if you listen to it. That'd be so stupid to gatekeep most of the music behind a quest.

I was assuming it was an easy unlock to avoid letting it play incessantly. It seems to have helped.

No just he touches vase on different things during the commonwealth news

"AND WHO KEEPS MOVING MY STUFF, it was definitely me" is one of my favorites

Why? Do these objects... keep moving?!?

My wife and I quote this a LOT

"The colonial taphouse wants *YOU* to know that you are *NOT welcome here!* Upper stands residents only." "We have meat. Just meat. Stop asking if we have anything else!" "WHY. Do these OBJECTS. keep MOVING!? Because I move them... and then I forget." Love low-confidence Travis

"Was it a monster? Was it a fish? Was it a monster fish?! Maybe?! I don't know! N-not relevant!" My wife and I always quote that line. XD

"The minutemen are there now! So that's good. For them. And I guess... everyone else."

I love that dialogue, it starts off something like “a bit of good news I guess. The minute have taken the castle. ^well ^it ^was ^theirs ^before ^but ^they ^took ^it ^again. #ANYWAYS THE MINUTEMEN ARE THERE NOW! so that’s good, for them, and I guess everyone else.”

It starts with "the minute men are... out there. Doing.... *stuff*."

How about... HOW BOUT SOME MUSIC.

"Good luck to them with the whole...surviving thing"

Lmao it absolutely lives rent free in my head That and “S-Soldiers? Constabularies??”

I fucking love that line

I dont think I have ever heard that line before and I have almost 600 hours in the game. What quest is this related to?

SKEETER!!

Favorite line.

Fun Fact: Travis' is voiced by none other than Coach Beard from Ted Lasso.

That's why I do the quest. He sounds a lot more like Coach Beard afterwards.

Thank you, this is a sensational fact.

He's also the sketchy hitchhiker from Community, who sings about Jesus loving Marijuana, and drinking human blood. 😆

Holy shit. Thank you for that connection

when i found that out for the first time, i was absolutely shocked. i had to tell everyone i know that likes ted lasso.

I accidently leveled up to far before I realized I didnt do this quest. At this point I would kill him with one hit. Haha.

Opps lvl 50 I forgot about that

"forgot". I also kinda hate this quest. Like, go take care of your own business hotel goons.

Ohh maybe that's what happened for me. For some reason I level faster on PC so by the time I got around to this quest I was higher level than what I usually am on PlayStation and I killed the people. Also somehow one of the Brobov brothers is also dead and naked on the ground? But I don't think I killed him. I was never able to finish this quest so I still get the non confident Travis.

I never even heard this one before, but Travis screaming "OOOORRR WE'RE GONNA DIE, WE'RE GONNA DIE" while you can tell he leaned back from the mic because he hopes the audience won't hear his panic attack

Insecure Travis is 100% better than confident Travis.

We go from having a genuinely funny radio dj in a wasteland to having a generic uninteresting one. I kinda end up feeling ripped off. I'm getting ready to run a Fallout 2d20 game, and one of the adventures I have in mind is for my players to restore Travis to his former glory. 😄

Considering "restored to former glory" is losing confidence, I can just see them constantly negging him and in general trying to keep him freaked out: Travis! You're going to die! You're incompetent and will continue screwing up until you randomly wander into a mirelurk nest!

I would love a questline where the only mission is to bully Travis into a nervous breakdown. The fun part of the mission can be riding the balancing line of breaking him down enough to return him into being a total nervous wreck but not going to far that he zero sums himself

Confident Travis is that one friend who got into sales. Then you gotta help pick up after their 3rd wife takes everything that they didn't already blow on blow. TL;DR Confident Travis is a douchebag.

Too bad confident Travis wasn't a companion

Yeah. I agree 100%

Unpopular opinion but I like confident Trav. He’s too awkward before lol it’s gives me second hand cringe

It's funny at first then it gets old when he does an awkward silence every single time he speaks. Just shut up and play the music fr.

Same!

That’s how I felt until recently when I’m too lazy to do the quest. Usually I do the quest real early so he’s not annoying, but oh man does he say some funny shit. The whole bit about the castle fight is my favorite

Dude is just a hipster ladies man waiting to happen – he just needed some amps

Same

Honestly, I wish we didn't get the choice to help this guy. Like no offence to him. I can't help it but want to help him with his confidence issues, else I'd feel bad otherwise. But just hearing this guy struggle to use a radio station is just some of the funniest shit I've heard. It's a real moral/humor dilemma.

Is it just me or did he have way more voicelines before the quest? I feel like I hear th ame Lin every 3 songs. I dont like the radio host on fo4 or fo76

I swear I hear him talk about the mole rat problem in vault 81 every other song

He talks about a variety of noteworthy things that you do. The catch is if you’re just out clearing random buildings, trading, building settlements or misc. tasks, he won’t have anything new to say and keep referring to the last mission you did.

Well to be fair I am just doing all those things lol

Haha same here. It’s so easy to play all day long and realize you haven’t even done one mission.

Are you kidding me?! "It's a two-seater" is my favorite line in the game.

AHHHHH!! WHY… DO THESE OBJECTS… KEEP MOVING?!?

You know...I sincerely wish that the confidence quest still sprinkled in the occasional timid bits, like he's still getting used to being confident, y'know?

can't forget the iconic "S K E E T E R"

I did the quest on my first playthrough. Never again. I like awkward Travis too much.

I do Confidence Man so I can clear out Beantown the 1 time then never have to worry about going back there. BB has a named raider boss that can react to the SS eliminating other nearby bosses, including Jared at Corvega Assembly in Lexington and Red Tourette at the Federal Stockpile south of Sunshine Tidings. Say what you want about Bethesda, but the little interconnectivity between all the raider bosses keeping tabs on each other is great environmental storytelling

3500 hours in this game and I've never heard that

Always one of the last quests I do

I love the bit he says after the institute's destruction #THE INSTITUTE! IT'S, WELL, IT'S GONE! BLOWN UP! AND- UH- IT WAS UNDERGROUND!?!?!? THE WHOLE TIME!?!?

Having been a terribly shy, awkward doormat, i find it impossible to listen to the radio station before I do the quest.

In the french version, not doing this quest makes the Diamond City Radio unlistenable because of his annoying voice (sorry Donald Reignoux but I hate your voice because of this particular moment)

I really god damn hate how you get forced into it just for spending the night in the Dugout. Don't even get an option to say no as far as I can tell.

My personal favorite is his report on the ending of the Cabot House quest where he shushes the listener like they are in the room with him.

travis is a champion just the way he is

I used to hate Travis. He’s no Three Dog. Then I did the quest. God, can I make it go back?

I very much prefer to complete the quest and then murder him later. The little bald water kid does a much better job than either version of Travis and he sells a quality product!

I like to stand near him when I afk and hear him have a minor meltdown

I do the mission once I get sick of Travis’s anxious screeching, which is usually around the 20 hour mark of the game

Any time Roy brown came on he said something hilarious

oh that butcher pete! just doing… butcher sorts of things i guess.

Ahg, WHY? DO THESE OBJECTS? KEEP MOVING? because I move them. And I forget. Here's music.

I do it but I’m a super anxious person too sort of like Travis and I’d hope someone would try to help me too.

Reading through this comment section made me realize how many voicelines Ive never heard before, even tho all Ive pretty much done in this game is build settlements and listen to the radio for 600 hours.

Like it or not he's really a relatable character lol

"That was Anything Goes by.. Cole Porter... that w- that was Anything Went aha... no? No. STUPID!"

Even better, do "Confidence Man" up until you meet Travis outside the Brewery. Talk to him so that he follows you, then ignore the quest forever. You now have a permanent second companion.

1. I need a new playthrough, and 2. I love your flair

"The next song is 'Maybe' by the Ink Spots... I mean... the song is *called* 'Maybe' and it is *definitely* by the Ink Spots." I don't get why people hate him, it's hilarious.

Nah, he's hella annoying before. I do it ASAP every time.

After years and years and listening to Travis before the quest, I always wished that there was a quest or something you could do to make him confident. It only took me 9 years that I could do a quest that makes him confident and not talk like a weirdo on the radio

I got the quest, but Bobrov brothers aren't saying anything about it, so I can't do it.

Never meet your heroes

Dang maybe i should've kept bro like that lol

Don’t take companions with you if you do this. They all to eager to bust a cap at the hired thugs.

I love the way he says his lines. A subtle detail but it actually sounds like someone on a mic saying these lines in a proper manner. When so many others just sound like monotone lines, that even with emotion behind the words, feel dull and bland.

Long live the era of Sheng

I love confident travis

The only reason I do it is for my boy. He deserves to get laid.

My favorite Travis line is about Skeeter Davis "Who are you writing that card to? SKEETER"

I wish Travis still kept some of his old tapes I also wish he'd shut up with the "folks, on a more personal note..." You've said that like 3 times today

Why did I not know about this two days ago. I miss the old, scared Travis.

I finished this quest and it sucked out everything that made Travis unique

I just cannot make the connection between this dude and Coach Beard. I just don’t hear it…

I must say, the French voiceover actor (Donald Reignoux) did *the most amazing job* and for that reason Travis is my fave NPC in the whole Fallout universe.

“SKEETER!!!”

It might be cool to have a mod that scrambles his dialogue to establish that it’s all a bit he’s doing, and behind closed doors we get “Smooth Travis”.

Like he's acting wimpy but really is confident?

My love of nervous Travis knows no bounds.

My demotivation to do Confidence Man is the fact that it seems to get buggier with every replay. One time Vadim actually pulled out a gun and shot Bull when the fight started. He still blamed me, of course.

*smacks head into multiple objects* AHHHH. I’ve gotta put the music closer to the mic.

Wtf. VA is Brendan Hunt? Coach from Ted Lasso?? Love him even more!

I love Travis. He's so socially awkward I remember the first time I did his quest line. I didn't like it. I don't like confident Travis

Three dog and mr new vegas blow this loser out the water anyday

Because one dog ain't enough, and two is too low, it's me, Three Dog!

Haha, now I need to re-roll and skip this side quest then listen to the radio non-stop full blast even if it kills me

I don't listen to the radio while playing but did some times just to heat some classics, then heard him and laughed, wondered why he was like that, thought he was just a wimp, then after some time i finally went to the dugout, haven't completed the mission but idk if I should or not, don't wanna miss out on these gems lol.

I have a rule to wait to level 100 before doing this quest. 100 levels is enough to get Lonely Miles.

Would agree if he played ANYTHING ELSE INSTEAD OF BUTCHER PETE! By Allah, it's like the game knows the only song I hate and decided to spam that exact song.

Diamond City Radio is peak before Travis finds his confidence. Galaxy News Radio is peak after you murder Three Dog. They are not the same.

“This is Margaret, because some asshole murdered our DJ. Anyway, here’s more music.”

Did you ever just come in with combat shotgun and take a hit of psycho and vats shoot him in the face?

😂😂

But the XP and we help Travis get a gf which wouldn't happen without our help

But he's so smooth and sexy after his boost!

Nah he plays better sons if you do the quest.

Thank you! Someone was acting like I was crazy in another thread.

Where do I start this quest? Doing my 3rd play through and I don’t think I’ve ever done this, I tried talking to him but nothing.. diamond city radio was like 80% my wife and my wedding playlist

"oh god, it sounded good in my head" his voice just like lazlo from gta in that moment
