Fallout 5: 10 Biggest Items Fans NEED To See

10. Low Intelligence Speech Options

Okay, so this might seem like a weird request for a video game. Why would you want your player to be of low intelligence?

Well, as anyone who played Fallout 1, 2, or New Vegas can attest, low intelligence playthroughs can be one of the most hilarious ways to complete a Fallout game.

One of the best examples of this can be found in Fallout New Vegas, when meeting Followers of the Apocalypse scientist Ignacio Rivas, inside Helios One. When the Courier first meets Rivas, he will ask whether they are a soldier or a scientist.

A player with low intelligence will have the following options:

- Me Shoulder
- I is scientistic
- Me pet animals
- You no ask

Unfortunately, the unique speech options for low intelligence playthroughs were removed for Fallout 4, meaning there was no benefit to having your character be a bumbling idiot.

While it's not exactly surprising that Bethesda did this, given the amount of voice acting that would be required to enable a whole other set of options, imagine how great it could be listening to your barely coherent character babble while conversing with some of the most important figures in the wasteland.
