Fallout 4/Characters/Commonwealth Residents: Difference between revisions

* [[Foil]]: To [[Fallout: New Vegas|Caesar/Edward Sallow]]. Both are elderly men with cults of personality formed around them, and have near-dictatorial control over the most villainous faction in each game. Both Father and Caesar are also geniuses {{spoiler|slowly dying of cancer}} who see their factions' terrible actions as [[NecessaryNecessarily Evil|Necessary Evils]] for building a better world out of the hellish Wasteland. However, Caesar is not only [[Badass Bookworm|more dangerous as a combatant]] than [[Non-Action Guy|Father]] is, but is also [[Evil Is Petty|pettier]] and more prone to [[Psychopathic Manchild|fits of rage]]. Father, in contrast, comes across as far more [[Affably Evil|professional and articulate]], being more of a [[Consummate Professional|refined scholar]] than a [[Evil Overlord|barbaric warlord]]. Father also wants to close off the Institute from the surface for the time being so they can rebuild society as a utopia underground, while Caesar is obsessed with aggressively expanding the Legion's influence over all of the known Wasteland.
