[[WMG: Mama Murphy isn't lying about killing a Deathclaw with a pipe pistol.]]

If one assumes the pipe pistol she uses was a .50-caliber bolt-action pipe pistol, it makes some measure of sense she could put down a deathclaw with one of those. Just because Sturges was probably thinking of the common .38-caliber ones doesn't preclude the existance of the "pipe anti-material rifle" and "pipe-Door Knocker".

[[WMG: The Minutemen and Brotherhood of Steel will eventually come into conflict with each other after the Institute is defeated.]]

The Fallout TV show reveals that the Brotherhood is still active in the Commonwealth several years after the game. This all but confirms that the Brotherhood and Minutemen endings are the only possible canon endings to Fallout 4. The survival of the Prydwen also confirms that Brotherhood and Minutemen never came into conflict during the game itself. However, in the years following the game it's likely to that the two would inevitably clash, much in the same way the West Coast Brotherhood came into conflict with the NCR. In particular the Brotherhood's hatred for non humans like Ghouls and Synths would drive them into conflict with the Minutemen, who include such individuals in their ranks and see themselves as the protectors of every inhabitant of the Commonwealth.

[[WMG: Cait is a ConsummateLiar]]
Her accent is fake, she's a regular old American girl. Her backstory may or may not be fake, but she got toughened up somehow. Cait originally joined the Combat Zone in the hopes of it becoming a theatre again, but that dream went to Hell.



[[WMG: Piper is illiterate]]
Continuing on the previous theory, not only does Nat write (pun intended) all the articles, she does so because Piper can't read or write at all. The settlement the Wright sisters grew up didn't have a school and their parents didn't have the time to teach them how to read. By the time the sisters got to Diamond City, Piper was an adult or older teen and was too embarrassed to attend the schoolhouse with Nat, but they still needed to feed themselves, so Piper goes on adventures, dictates the news she got to Nat and has her write it out.

[[WMG: The Brotherhood in FO4 has absorbed the Outcasts and the DC Enclave remnants]]

The Outcasts left the Brotherhood because they objected to the reforms under Elder Lyons, so Maxson may have re-intergrated them with the promise of a return to the Brotherhood's roots under his command. Likewise he could have offered any Enclave survivors/PoW's/noncombatants a chance to join up if they were willing-they're already knowledgeable in advanced technology and power armor, so they'd make perfect recruits so long as they were willing to renounce their allegiance to the Enclave.

3) Kellog. Clearly at one point the Institute was researching cybernetics and related life extension technologies. According to holotapes that can be found in abandoned areas during the Brotherhood's assault this line of research was eventually abandoned for unknown reasons but they still had access to it and dusted if off for Kellog to use.

While stuck with the Raiders, she was abused by being attacked by their attack dogs or, uh, [[spoiler:[[BestialityIsDepraved other stuff]]]]. She feels disgusted even being around Dogmeat and while she restrains herself from splattering his puppy brains over a Red Rocket gas pump, she's not going to act like a dog person. And seeing that she won't even outright admit to being a SexSlave to the Raiders, Cait will definitely keep that little tidbit out of her trauma dumping sessions.

Cait also hates cats judging by how she likes it when Ashes is killed, so we can chalk that up to her being a sadistic creep.

Personally I almost never take Dogmeat, but typically you can only bring one companion at a time and Dogmeat is the only base companion that can never hate you enough to leave you and is a Fallout staple, so it makes sense he would be the only one with you.
