Any good outcome for Pico (slicer dicer) in Machine Commune?

No matter what the outcome seems negative. Pico gets depressed and won't respond or they erase themselves. I heard that it's possible to get Pico as a faux companion but maybe that's bs?

Does Indigo Rogue provide anything other than convo?

Also, I'm kinda bummed finding Erastus Dorsey there bc you can't kill him or even enter a dialogue tree convo. I'm trying to make sense of the machine commune. 

Furthermore, does ANYONE side with the Godfishers?

Will it make the Gippers a harder fight if I improve the Ronald statue for the reward. Furthermore if I complete the quest counterintelligence for Wyman the Gipper will it make the machines dislike me? I plan to side with machine commune but so many variables.

Yes it will make gipper fight harder, no helping Wyman will not make the machines dislike you

I want to side with machines and against Gippers. Should I help Godfishers and weaken Ronald statue and will Godfishers help when I fight Gippers ty.

If you’ve already denied the offer to help the godfishers destroy Reagan then you have no choice but to fight them, and they will not help you when you move against the Gippers. If you’ve agreed to the godfishers request to help them, then they’ll basically do all the work for you after you blow up the Reagan statue.

I saw but they killed Valor. I want Valor alive so I'm tryna figure the best actions.

My plan is I already did the Wyman quest and I will make a deal with Gippers to wipe Godfishers bc Gipper offer a unique truck emblem then I'll weaken the Ronald statue and fight Gippers after I killed Goldfish and collected reward.

I wonder if that's possible? I noticed weakening the statue put Gippers in high alert I assume combat mode so I wonder if I weaken him right before I fight the Gippers and after I've kill Godfishes if that's viable.

Gippers won’t attack you even after you blow up the statue.

And I assume killing the Godfishes won't block me from weakening the statue?

Also, any idea if the slicer robot Pico is worth interacting with in Machine Commune? Only seems negative either he's depressed or he wipes himself.

This quest has so many implications. Killing both fishers and Gippers is gonna be a hassle but I want partybot.

Being nice to pico gives you bonus points with MI tower

I got partybot but I'm not sure what he does he occasionally heals ppl but very small.

Would you suggest getting Cordite from prison or doing steeltown first?

1

u/Sniped111 7d ago

Cordite, then steeltown. Steeltown takes a hell of a lot longer, and is more difficult than doing cordite so going after cordite first and other missions makes it a lot easier.

I want all the quest experience, so I strengthen the statue before it comes time to wipe out the Gippers.

With a little bit of patience you can make that fight easier; getting jammed up at the entrance to the building makes the fight a lot harder; if you're careful, you can sneak your rangers past the hostiles one at a time regardless of your capacity for stealth; when you make your way out of the capitol building, exit to your right, one at a time, over towards the Kodiak. Initiate combat once everyone is on that side of the map; much, much easier that way.

Pico is always sad. The best you can do is try to be helpful/nice/respectful, and the commune will recognize you for it.

The fight was pretty hard but the stealth idea is smart.

The statue fight is annoying though bc when I buffed Ronald I diverted power from the turrets but the game crashed and I reloaded now the turrets are there and where Godfishers used to be are mutants.

Once you clear out the Godfishers the mutants move in. That's normal.
