10 Video Game Characters Who Became Villains By Accident
2. The Mechanist - Fallout 4
The main villain of the Fallout 4 Automatron DLC is the Mechanist, a mysterious roboticist who fashions themselves after an in-game comic book character of the same name.
The Mechanist is a menace to the Commonwealth as the robots they send out into the wasteland kill and destroy everything in their path.
And yet, when you reach the end of the DLC’s questline, it turns out the Mechanist is just a confused girl who wanted to make the world a better place.
Yes, in the final mission of the DLC, the Mechanist reveals that she’s actually a young woman named Isabel Cruz, who decided to use her knowledge of robotics to construct an army of machines that could help clean up the wasteland of its many threats.
The reason why her plan didn't pan out is because the order she programmed the robots with made them attack more than just common raiders and mutants, taking out random innocents along with them as well.
With such catastrophic tendencies to make buggy software, Isabel sounds like she would fit right in with Bethesda's programming team.
