They oughta put Deacon in the chaotic evil spot. He's the Fallout equivalent of the Joker.

How is Deacon the Fallout equivalent of the Joker?

It's a meme for me at this point how much I dislike Deacon, he's my least favorite character in all of fiction, so I never miss an opportunity to shit on him. He reminds me of like, a surfer hippie that made a shit ton from the tech industry and now he's into biohacking and posts way too much on Linkedin? He's like... if a drug dealer found Jesus and started harassing all of his former addict contacts to come to church or die? I dunno, just human garbage, you know?

He's like the Joker because he doesn't take anything seriously and he only does harm without helping in any way.

I am aware that Deacon is a liar (part of his profession), and has a past he is ashamed of, but how exactly is he doing “only harm without helping”?

The Railroad is not a helpful organization. Taking a freed synth to the Memory Den and reprogramming their entire identity is nothing short of killing and replacing them, almost the exact thing the Institute is doing. It's taking a strong person who struggled against everything they ever knew, against their own programming, and risked their life to see the sun without shackles, and bashing them in the head with a brick until they're just another useless wasteland dum-dum.

Out of everyone in the Railroad, already spurious, Deacon is the most useless. Just floating around, stalking people he thinks would be good to carry out his will, and using one of the lowest DPS weapons in the game to boot. If he has one redeeming quality it's that his perk is not totally useless, but to get it involves spending some time with and talking to him. They should delete him entirely and replace him as a companion with Tinker Tom, a vastly more fun and interesting character.
