* Apparently, the residents of Bar Harbor - known as Far Harbor in the DLC - [[http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidthier/2016/05/12/the-real-bar-harbor-couldnt-be-happier-about-fallout-4s-far-harbor/#3a1b69251893 are really happy with their appearance in the game.]]
* As described in this [[https://web.archive.org/web/20210627155502/https://twitter.com/JoelBurgess/status/1409013849584504833 archived Twitter Thread]], Your Faithful Canine Companion Dogmeat wasn't just a German Shepherd, His appearance, personality, even sounds, were almost or completely lifted from River, the Dog that Dogmeat was based on. Joel end's the thread by giving thanks in effectively immortalizing his dog.
-->'''Joel Burgess:''' And if love is River's legacy, I am contented. Rest in peace, big girl.
* Crosses over with Tearjerking, but when it was announced that River, the real dog who played Dogmeat, had passed away, one modder released a mod that added the ability to build a statue honouring her, and another released a mod that renamed Dogmeat to River.

* In spite of the horrible things people say to Piper and the negative reputation of a nosy reporter she gets because of her profession, there are some Commonwealth citizens who genuinely enjoy her newspaper, showing that her work is still appreciated.

--> "Good luck, sir/ma'am, [[ThisIsGonnaSuck and God help us all]]."

--> "We're doing everything we can."

--> '''[[FortuneTeller Mama Murphy]]''': You're standing with... the people. Working together. United. I see a land filled with hope again. Fear falls away as the brave step forward to join the ranks. You're a hero. A symbol for a better world. Our world.

-->'''Preston:''' You made me want to keep living again. I guess that sounds pretty sappy, but it's true.

-->Well, aren't I lucky they thawed you out just for me?
-->Blue, I'm on Cloud Nine. Things couldn't be better, and it's all thanks to you.
-->Sure don't make 'em like they used to. I'm talking about you, Blue.
-->I'm with the person I love, helping those in need. I couldn't imagine a better life.

--> I'm alive, and I'm in love. That tell you enough?
--> My heart, my treasure, my love. All for you.
--> We're together, that's all that matters.

---> '''Sole Survivor:''' Codsworth - stay safe, buddy/honey.
---> '''Codsworth:''' And your family as well, sir/mum. Oh my...\\Goodbye, sir/mum. May I just say [[ItHasBeenAnHonor what an honor its been]] to serve you and your family.\\ Now don't you worry about me, sir/mum. You have your family to think about. Go on!

---> '''Nick:''' Hey, chin up. I know the night just got darker, but it won't last forever.

--> '''Strong''': [[DeclarationOfProtection Strong protect human]].
--> '''Strong''': <Whenever you're over your carrying capacity> Human, not need to carry ''every'' thing you find!

-->'''Codsworth''': You may be quick to turn your back on him, but we're not so keen on betrayal.
-->'''Curie''': What he asks is just wrong. Monsieur Danse is our friend.
-->'''Deacon''': Danse may have a stick up his backside, but he's our pal.
-->'''Piper''': The man didn't do anything wrong.
-->'''Preston Garvey''': Damn right. You don't go killing your friends without some better reason than they "might" be a synth.

-->'''Codsworth''': To think the Brotherhood can so easily turn on someone as loyal as Paladin Danse.
-->'''Curie''': Time and time again, scientific understanding is at odds with basic morality. Danse has served the Brotherhood well. Why should it matter if he's a synth or not?
-->'''Hancock''': Danse gives his whole damn life to the Brotherhood and they turn on him. So much for loyalty.
-->'''Nick Valentine''': Paladin Danse was a loyal soldier. Finding out he was a synth... that man must be going through hell right now.

-->'''Codsworth''': It's good to know there's still a bit of humanity left in the Brotherhood.
-->'''Hancock''': Finally, someone talking some sense on this ship.
-->'''Preston Garvey''': She's making a whole lot more sense than Maxson did.

--> '''Father''': Thank you... Mother/Father... you've helped a boy achieve his dreams...

--> '''Codsworth''': Mister Valentine, I couldn't have picked a more worthy replacement!
--> '''Nick Valentine''': ''(chuckling)'' Codsworth, you flatter me. You take care of yourself.

--> Is it odd that, for me... I find this oddly uplifting. I know for some this seems a sad song, a song for the end of the world... but like the game, I feel it is a song that proves that no, the world will not end. Even in the darkest moment, the worst moment... the world WILL go on. Different, yes, changed yes... but it will go on. War never changes... But neither does hope.
--> Hope... hope never changes.

--> '''Preston Garvey''': You don't need those, you know. You have people who care about you.

* You'll first meet Piper on the verge of exile, with the mayor threatening to throw her preteen sister out with her if he has to. If you romance her, it's almost guaranteed you'll adopt Nat when you finally settle down, finally giving her a stable home, a dutiful butler in Codsworth, a pet and protector in Dogmeat, and a super-powered robot brother if you adopt Shaun 2. And she'll also have a bunch of new honorary aunts and uncles, including family friend Nick, and of course you, her new brother/sister-in-law. Best thing that ever happened to her, indeed.

* The Billy sidequest has you taking a young ghoulified kid home with the expectation that his parents might be dead. Shockingly, his parents turn out to be alive, giving a happy ending for once.

** Strong approves of helping Billy, saying that "Strong like. Tiny human should be with other humans."
