How do I join the Covenant in Fallout 4?
To join the Covenant in Fallout 4, you must first complete the Human Error quest, which begins when you enter the Covenant settlement for the first time and speak to Honest Dan, after which you’ll be required to take the SAFE test, a psychological evaluation designed to gauge your mental state, and once you’ve passed, you can enter the Covenant and potentially become a member of this unique community. The Covenant is a fascinating and complex location in the Fallout 4 universe, with its own set of rules and intrigue, and understanding its inner workings is key to navigating its questlines and story arcs.
Understanding the Covenant and Its Quests
The Covenant is a settlement that can be accessed by completing the Human Error quest, which involves passing the SAFE test, a series of questions designed to evaluate your character’s mental state, and making decisions about the fate of certain characters, including Amelia, whose true nature as a synth can be revealed through various means, including pickpocketing her for a synth component or inspecting her body after death.
Completing the SAFE Test and Joining Covenant
The SAFE test is a critical component of the Human Error quest, and while it’s impossible to fail, your answers can influence how certain characters perceive you and the outcomes of subsequent quests, making your choices within the Covenant meaningful and impactful on your overall Fallout 4 experience.
