Songs for Far Cry The Silver Chronicles, Life, Despair & Monsters and A Radioactive Calamity Of Love, Bombs & Gore. Music below the cut.
Vega, my Fallout 76 OC, is one of the "Residents" of Vault 76. Originally a settlement planner, she is now on a quest of revenge against the other residents of Vault 76 for "wrongfully" leaving her behind in the vault. Truthfully nobody wanted to deal with her bullshit and didn't want to wait on her when they had a job they'd been waiting 25 years to do, so they left her to sleep in (because she had a bit wee too much to drink during the night of Reclamation Day), thinking she'd catch up to them later. Vega did not take it likely. She also has a particularly concerning obsession with Vault 76's Overseer, viewing the older woman as her rival (even if the Overseer views Vega as merely a minor annoyance at best and always poking holes in Vega's delusions). This song pretty much sums up Vega's POV regarding the Overseer (and her fellow Vault 76's Residents).
"Oh, wherever you go
You know I will follow you
You know I will run to you
Oh, the sun and the moon
It don't matter what you do
You know I will run to you
Can't believe in all this time I'm hurting for you
But you feel like hold down
The love you give it lift's so high I'm dying for it
I'm dying for it
And I can't let you go
Hide away, hide away from me
Hide away, hide away from me
Hide away, hide away from me
Or you'll lose, or you'll lose
Hide away, hide away from me
Hide away, hide away from me
Hide away, hide away from me
Or you'll lose, or you'll lose
If you hide away I'll hunt you down
And follow you to the end of the Earth
My heart beats with yours
My lungs breathe with yours
You're a piece of me
I can't hide away
Oh, I'm under your spell
I'm making and I'm fading
And nobody can see
I'm your heartbeat
You're part of me
Can't believe in all this time I'm hurting for you
But you feel like hold down
The love you give it lift's so high I'm dying for it
I'm dying for it
And I can't let you go
Hide away, hide away from me
Hide away, hide away from me
Hide away, hide away from me
Or you'll lose, or you'll lose
Hide away, hide away from me
Hide away, hide away from me
Hide away, hide away from me
Or you'll lose, or you'll lose."
Have a lovely ship song between Mercy Omar-Seed and Carmina Rye (the former is the daughter of Silva Omar and Faith Seed, the latter the daughter of Nick and Kim Rye). While Old Dusk (the WIP of the New Dawn arc) can be quite bleak (not as bleak as Silva's Hope though) due to the circumstances, this relationship is one of the most heartwarming highlights that I've been developing.
"Let's go below zero and hide from the sun
I'll love you forever where we'll have some fun
Yes, let's hit the North Pole and live happily
Please don't cry no tears now, it's Christmas, baby
My snowman and me, hey
My snowman and me
Baby
Don't cry snowman, don't you fear the sun
Who'll carry me without legs to run, honey?
Without legs to run, honey?
Don't cry snowman, don't you shed a tear
Who'll hear my secrets if you don't have ears, baby?
If you don't have ears, baby?
I want you to know that I'm never leaving
Because I'm Mrs. Snow, 'til death we'll be freezing
Yeah, you are my home, my home for all seasons
So come on let's go."
Imagine being amongst a group of individuals who have been brutally mutilated, experimented on or in general fucked over by the same short dude who's not only from another dimension and can travel through it to other worlds, but also runs a cult-like science organization dead-set on ruining humanity's life to help them "evolve" and laugh at their despair... well, that's the crux of Life, Despair & Monsters, a group of individuals, some of whom sure weren't the greatest (but still didn't deserve what happened to them), whose lives were negatively and irreversibly impacted by that of one Sir Enigma Malvolio and his Ruins of the Midnight Rise. All because he wanted to see how humans could cope with erratically spontaneous and disastrous change to their livelihoods.
"You say I'm craving hope in this darkness
You say I'm just a joke, just a joke
Shivers my spine so much
Swimming in the river styx too much
They try to let go of us
But the truth is...
Once you're in then
You're one of us
Truth is...
Once you're in then
You're one of us
One of us
Truth is once you're in then
You're one of us
My darling in fire
My darling rolls in fire
You liar
You say my darling rolls in fire, in fire
You say my darling burns in fire
You're a liar."

I realize that Tracey was probably the first one to find out the Deputy became a Peggie but she probably wasn’t the one that told everyone considering the Dep was mentioned in her second to last note. I wonder when people found out. We know Nick and Kim knew prior to New Dawn because Carmina was told by them and Nick doesn’t seem to question it. Hurk seems to have not known until New Dawn given how he seems surprised to see Dep and scared of the new Judge but still comfortable to talk about his new family. Seems like Jerome knew the Dep was in a bunker with Joseph but didn’t know they were a New Edener until New Dawn and he’s kinda judgmental about it. The ones without voice lines, like Kim, Grace, and Sharky, might not even know or do know and don’t wanna talk to them but I don’t see Sharky holding a grudge on the Dep. Maybe the reason they know is because Joseph told people so that maybe people would join or at least think they’re not bad.

Replaying New Dawn again from the beginning because I had a hankering, and this note at the first Highwaymen outpost leading to the tunnel just amuses me:
“We lost track of the Rye girl. She’s gone to get help.
She probably won’t last a week on her own, but I want this tunnel locked down. Nobody else gets out, and nobody gets in.
Send a runner to the Twins if you see any signal that she’s coming back.”
I find this note amusing because it was written before the beginning of the game, when Carmina goes to find Rush, so it implies that my kick-ass girl has been doing plenty to annoy the Highwaymen to the extent that they know her name, and they’ve been keeping tabs on her.
Not only that, but they tried to stop her from leaving, and lock down the entire Hope County after she gets out. And, they had enough fear of her causing trouble, that they wanted a scout to report if she was coming back.
Go Car-car.
