Spoiler: Silver Shroud (click to show/hide)

 and while I haven't completed the whole thing yet, the fact that the Silver Shroud is obviously male and nobody commenting at all that my char is female during the whole thing.  Except for my char's silly 'speak as shroud' voice that is.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You dare question the integrity of ... THE SHROUD?!

[MasterFancyPants]

Perhaps the woman became a lawyer after the army? Also, remember the war was in 2077, not 1950 and the civil right's movements still happened.

[Kot]

Could it be because they added the feature to play both grenders after people flipped their shit after the first gameplay and had no time to fix up all dialogues and stuff?

[Neonivek]

At least in the woman's defense I get the distinct impression she wasn't a lawyer because "Women can't be soldiers!" (ignoring that... well... they seem to be rare in Fallout 4) but because they made both of them distinct characters and didn't want to give them both the same backstory.

The unfortunate aspect is that... well... The fact that you can use guns so well from the getgo is patched up well by saying your an Ex-soldier... Not really a lawyer.

Couldn't they have put a marksmanship award in the house somewhere for her?

...This is the Fallout universe. Pretty much everyone owned a gun and was happy to use it. Anti-gun people just, uh...Pretty much didn't exist as far as I can tell.

Ohh they existed, I think they were called "targets"

[KingofstarrySkies]

So yeah. That excuses the whole "They're a lawyer but they're good with guns."

Plus, I'm gonna guess that Fallout 4 is pretty rife with gameplay-story segregation, from what I've read from this thread and heard from critics and friends.

Tons of gameplay-story segregation.

There are settlements you can get that have less food or water then people.

Hey, I'm prior military and my wife works in retail. I've taught her to handle and fire a firearm. Its not beyond the realm of possibility, and looking at her you certainly wouldn't expect her to know anything about them.

[TheBronzePickle]

The implication across at least Bethesda's Fallout games is that just about every US citizen owned a gun, given that tons of unopened pre-War safes have firearms stashed inside.

Wait, how is THAT gameplay-story segregation? That just means there's a food/water shortage.

[Teneb]

One of the loading screens even mentioned that pre-war US was a place of severe civil unrest, so it's not impossible the female PC/Nora learned how to defend herself. And that's not counting hobby stuff like martial arts or shooting ranges and such.

[BFEL]

Obviously Nora was a deep cover Chinese operative meant to infiltrate the "Vaults" of America and sabotage them if possible.

[Neonivek]

Though Fallout 4 also has Story and Story Segregation.

So not only does the gameplay take place in another universe as the story

But the story also takes place in another universe as the story.

[KingofstarrySkies]

...Whut.
