RELATED: Classic Fallout Moments: The Battle For Adytum (Fallout 1)Ĭonnolly tasks you with travelling to the Boston branch of Hubris Comics to obtain the Silver Shroud’s costume you can also find the raiment and axe of Grognak the Barbarian inside, though they aren’t as cool as the Silver Shroud’s gear (obviously). His dialogue confirms this, painting him as a kindly soul who just wants to make a difference in his community, albeit with a slightly ruthless streak that's shown in how willingly he condemns criminals to death at the hands of the Silver Shroud. His soft-spoken Boston accent - complete with a slight stutter - immediately has you believing this individual has a good heart. With Kent Connolly, Bethesda created one of the most sympathetic characters in the series. Irma is Kent’s only friend, allowing him extra time in the Memory Den in exchange for his repairing the machinery when it breaks. Thinking about the horrors of the wasteland is painful for him, so instead he keeps to himself, working on restoring his hero to the airwaves and using the memory loungers to relive better times. As evidenced by his ghoulish status, Connolly has been around since pre-war times. “Holy cannoli! It’s the nightmare of night! The deceptive detective! The dark dick! Paulie, you idiot, you were duped! That’s no normal dame!” perfectly encapsulates the alliteration-heavy dialogue of that era, even including a reference to the ‘60s Batman cartoon, a clear inspiration for the Silver Shroud.Īfter meeting with Connolly, the player will learn that he’s a diehard fan of the Silver Shroud - 'better than Grognak and Manta Man combined,' apparently. I was chuckling as I listened to Bethesda’s recreation of 1960s superhero schlock. Quest aside, the radio show is a great listen (or read). Connolly can be heard seeking help from listeners of the show, asking them to come to the Memory Den if they’re a “true fan.” The quest will commence if the player takes the ghoul up on his offer. Once the Sole Survivor comes within range of the outcast haven of Goodneighbor, they will be able to tune into the Silver Shroud radio. Well, Fallout 4 was no different, introducing an entire radio drama and associated quest based on the mysterious vigilante who shields Boston at night - the Silver Shroud. You may remember the delightful quest involving the AntAgonizer and the Mechanist tearing apart Canterbury Commons with their feud in Fallout 3, or the issues of Grognak the Barbarian that act as skill books in New Vegas. Hubris Comics and its original band of superheroes has had a presence in the Fallout universe ever since Bethesda took the reins with Fallout 3. No matter how bleak things got he’d save the day” says Kent Connolly - repairman, ghoul, and certified Silver Shroud superfan. “You ever listen to the Silver Shroud? That’s who we need.
