Having been with Chloe through the loss of her family, I knew why she was saying this, and TaylorвЂ™s performance adds layers of depth that might otherwise be lost.ДЇemale relationships have been a central part of my experience with Fallout 4.

As of Fall 2018, the DG has merged with The Phoenix. EditorвЂ™s note: This article was initially published in The Daily Gazette, SwarthmoreвЂ™s online, daily newspaper founded in Fall 1996.
