Brother Simon

Brother Simon is a character featured in Fallout 4. He is the leader of the "Pillars of the Community" cult located at the Charles View Amphitheater in Boston. Upon speaking to him he will try to convince the Sole Survivor to join the cult on the condition that they give him everything they own.

Background
If the player goes through with it, Simon will act surprised, subtly revealing that the entire thing is a charade. He will then tell the player about level one of the cult, saying for the player to repeat the phrase "I deserve a better life. A better life is coming. A better life is almost here". Afterwards he will say to keep repeating the phase until it is truly believed, then the player will be ready for level two. Simon goes on to say that the player will know they are level two when good things start happening to them. This will leave the player without any items except key or quest items. The player may break into the back storage room of the office to retrieve their items but doing so will result in Simon and his followers becoming hostile.

If the player asks about changing their mind on joining the cult before being led into the office, Simon will say there is no obligation to join though they have yet to have a member leave the organization. If the player changes their mind while talking to James in the office, Simon will say the player is past backing out and must give him all of their stuff. This brings up the option to threaten him on allowing them to walk out. If successful, Simon will allow the player to walk out peacefully. If not, Simon and all his followers will turn hostile and attack the player.
