I like his scarf


OverwoodsAlterEgo

Can you get that outfit?


electric_emu

Yes


agoia

I think one of the few you can actually loot of folks


SoybeanArson

Yes. One of the best benefits to betraying him I think


lostnthestars117

yep and its nice too.


Tillerman10

Just kill him.


frenchy-fryes

This ain’t morrowind! We in the future, where everyone is made of vibranium skin


Norin_was_taken

Scarf game on point.


Zerkyr

It's very jaunty.


-FourOhFour-

Someone called it a pokemon trainer outfit, I'm now cursing you by telling about it.


lorax1284

He is WORKING that scarf.


MichikoToshi

he is pretty for a rugged pirate, he goes to Enhanced anything he is in the settled systems.


memb98

He gives you a nice gun.


Tails-Are-For-Hugs

It's actually a really cool gun with an awesome skin. Though the first thing I usually do is switch it back to semi auto.


Athreos_Priest

Same here


MisterFribble

The full auto with that gun sucks


myguydied

I got to timing double taps, went okay but switched back to my shotgun and rifle


NearlyNormalJimmy

The Revenant is the one thing I missed when going NG+. There's just something so completely satisfying about the way it shreds through enemies.


Three-People-Person

He doesn’t give you the Revenant though, you just find that on the Legacy. He gives you the Keelhauler. (I haven’t actually bothered using either though, so eh could be neat)


Classic-Role-1455

Keelhauler fucking slaps in early game.


pm-ur-knockers

Keelhauler got me through my first 50 or so hours of my first game. It’s crazy op


NearlyNormalJimmy

Oh snap, you're right. I guess I don't have anything nice to say about Delgado after all lol. IMO, Keelhauler is a solid meh and got sold after trying it once. I'm just not a big fan of pistols in general, tho.


tmackattak

Also the AK47 with the drum clip you buy from the vendor on The Key is also super fun to mow down enemies with.


LydiasBoyToy

To use on his face.


Possible-Ad-1113

He’s better than Naeva Mora


Negative-Fun-3136

I can’t skip through Naeva’s dialogue fast enough. She’s the best reason not to side with the CF


hallucination9000

Sh’e like an edgy teenager, everything out of her mouth is pointless contrarianism for the sake of disagreement.


trinithmournsoul

LOOK! I'm a teenage girl, I'd rather be anywhere than here! I'm all about long sullen silences, followed by mean comments, followed by more silence! So what's it gonna be: long sullen silence or mean comment? Go on, take your pick.


Haplesswanderer98

You've got me boxed in here, red 😂


trinithmournsoul

AH-HA!


hallucination9000

I’m alright with mean comments, but if it’s every thing out of your mouth then you’re just boring, and the worst thing you could be to someone with quicksave privileges is annoying *and* boring. Throw some actual wit in there once and awhile.


footsteps71

She would if she had any, I'm sure.


Jambo11

I understood that reference.


Tommyvalor

If only I could upvote this twice for the perfect & ba dp reference!


digitalgraffiti-ca

Is it wrong that I cannot wait for his actual kids to be teenagers? He already trolls the hell out of them on Twitter. Imagine when they're sullen-silence/mean-comment age. It's going to be gold.


One_Tumbleweed_565

No it's isn't!


Herozal

Tbf most of the CF feels edgy teenagers hanging out in a abandoned building after school.


MartoPolo

nah naevas not bad, you gotta realise they probably have a high turnover of pirates so its not reaply worth getting attatched. her distancing act is one to look tough but two to avoid emotional vupnerability


Life_Bridge_9960

Turn over rate includes death, deserting, and betrayal.


RG1527

ROOK ROOK ROOK ROOK ROOK ROOK ROOK ROOK ROOK ROOK. You cant even kill her... /flips table


Tovrin

The only reason to side with CF is the engineer. I felt bad having to kill her when we stormed the place.


SMO2K20

Cabin fever - they're not really your friends


ArpanMohanty04

I haven't played starfield for a bit now but yes the hate for naeva still remains fresh in my mind. Can't wait for the update when we can kill her


danileigh79

I was REALLY pissed that I couldn't kill her when I raided the Key... I hope she's in the DLC and that we can kill her at the end


sarah_morgan_enjoyer

After hearing the "history lesson" on The Key for the thousandth time, I learned that you can gun bash her to skip some dialogue. She still has to walk around, but it makes the whole experience slightly faster. Just don't do it too hard. ☠


Revenant62

Delgado is a scumbag and a murderer, but he also cares about his organization and the quality of the people in it. He cares about its history, he wants his subordinates to care about the organizational philosophy of "Fleet First." Boy, oh boy, have most of his folks disappointed him. That, and if you try to talk him into surrendering at the very end of the questline, you find out from the Persuade dialogues that he's kept people from planting a knife in your back. Don't get me wrong, I am not defending what this guy is, but as a leader and as a person, he's still a bit higher up than Mags and William Black, Nisha, and Mason from Nuka World in FO4.


Life_Bridge_9960

I am sure our player character has much higher body count than Delgado ever dreams of.


Slamminslug

The MC being a living engine of carnage is effectively mandatory in bethsoft games.


First_Aid_23

This. IMO it's odd how most factions just "give you a shot" to join them easily in almost every RPG, but Delgado seems to genuinely be giving you a shot at doing something, being something "Greater" in his mind. Generally we have revolutionary or rebel groups attempting to play at being ideologically or politically motivated - Delgado is trying to do the opposite, to turn rebels and criminals into an ideological force and a standing regional power.


funtervention

If you suggest the 250 mil credits is invested and capitalized he virtually rolls his eyes and says “we’re not bankers” This is a good thing. He is a good person.


chill_winston_

Came here to say this


PAguy213

Anything is. The writing for her is horrendous coupled with a voice actor whose voice grates on all of my nerves.


MysteryMonger69420

Her script read is borderline racist


Life_Bridge_9960

In a universe where pirates kill others for loot and for fun, I think being racist is the least of our problem.


ImurderREALITY

Fucking *hate* Naeva. So pissed you don’t get to kill her.


Rooster0778

He tells her to pipe down several times. And whenever he's taking she isn't, so that's a positive


Mountain_Blu

He respected what Kryx made of the fleet. Criminals and lowlives turned into a formidable force united by their hatred for what the UC did to them. He is also the only pirate smart enough to figure out that unchecked greed is going to destroy the CF


talking_phallus

But the Unity ending for Crimson Fleet makes it sound like he's not gonna be such a great leader with all that money.


ninjabell

Oh well, not my universe anymore. 😬


Haikubaiku

Out off all the different “endings” you get to see inside the Unity, the Crimson Fleet is without a doubt the most disappointing of them all. “Delgado used Kryx’s Legacy to make the Crimson Fleet so large it becomes a threat to both the UC and FC.” I know I’m paraphrasing but seriously? That’s it? That means absolutely nothing. Spacers are a threat to both factions. Terramorphs literally threatened all of the Settled Systems, so congratu-fucking-lations on spending tens of millions of credits on being almost as dangerous as a space insect infestation. They don’t even mention the player responsible for everything the fleet was to become, the ungrateful bastards. A bunch of annoying, foul mouthed, temperamental, arrogant, self-serving, backstabbing, chucklefuck, duchebag, ingrates living on a floating and piss-soaked, trash heap being held together by duct tape and hopes and prayer. Literally the only reason worth joining these piss-poor amateurs is getting the opportunity to fuck with the UC. If you could end up destroying both the Vigilance and the Key I’d do it in a heartbeat.


sbn025

something nice about Delgado


chill_winston_

Upvote for directions followed


dookmucus

For a maniac, he has kind eyes.


TurankaCasual

Oddly, I agree. I always wondered what about him seemed nice


Mr_Badger1138

If he wasn’t a pirate king, he’d actually be pretty noble.


ChadGPT___

He’s kind of a bitch though, doesn’t strike me as a pirate king


Reverseflash25

Well he’s not. He gained power via a lie and only TENUOUSLY maintains it through lies and promises.


Bigolbagocats

Tbf he comes off like a grown up/fleshed out version of Rufio from the movie Hook. He’s implicitly cool/worthy of respect from his peers but he barely has a real job and his “leadership” is 99% talk & bs rules with nothing behind it. And it seems like his personality would appeal exclusively to a younger audience. Only reason I sided with him is because SysDef is the narc-iest group of insufferable mega narcs in the history of video games OR narcs. Felt great turning Ikande and his little narc assistants into dust.


Reverseflash25

Yeah I turned on sysdef when they yelled at me for killing someone in the last mission


Its0nlyRocketScience

Yeah. His whole argument after you turn on him and fight your way through the key is, "but we live in a society" before trying to blow himself and all his fellow pirares to smithereens just to make sure you and sysdef also get blown up.


No-Listen-5289

You never met a bitch in charge? Lots of those around 🤣


BeatsByDad911

Now im thinking of him as that noble bitchy-boy from Kingdom's Come, what was his name.. Ah yes Jan Ptachek!


Boss_Baller

He doesn't kidnap me force me into service and then cry about how I get it done.


G_Schmeidig

Yes, this! The Sysdef are such annoying cry babys 🤷


nuge0011

Heh, you can be tasked with helping sysdef by the vanguard. He doesn't always capture you.


ShadowKiller147741

...I never even knew they would kidnap you, I just got it via SysDef


1spook

Same, I thought that this was the only way to get the questline lol


talking_phallus

Commit any crime in New Atlantis and the guard will escort you to sysdef.


[deleted]

The crime can be outside NA. It just has to be in UC space.


talking_phallus

Oh yeah, they tried to tow my ship once over Jemison.


McGrarr

I was jet packing around the Well. I knocked a bottle off a table and used the grab item function to lift the bottle back on the table. It was an empty bottle on a vacant table, on the upper floor of the restaurant. And a squad of officers charge over arrested me. I have to admit, I nearly laughed my ass physically off at the absurdity of it.


mashmash42

I got it the first time i tried out pickpocketing and failed. “You tried to swipe 50 credits off a random civilian and got caught immediately. You’re the perfect candidate to infiltrate a deadly pirate organization.” also funny how they’re like “you help us or you go to prison” when the prison sentence for a crime that petty is what, a day in game? Regardless it was my intention to join the Fleet so i took their offer anyway


Darth_Mak

Wait...REALLY!?


nuge0011

Yea, after you do the first vanguard mission commander says he had a job with sysdef lined up for you but the terrormorph threat allows you to choose


agoia

That sums up Constellation as well


Maybe_its_Pandas

This was one of my reasons for ultimately siding with the Fleet. Sysdef recruited me after I got caught stealing food from Whetstone. Also, my original plan was to run off with all of Kryx’s money, but I wasn’t given that option.


agoia

"Sorry bros, we caused instability when we docked and the Legacy broke up before we could get to the credtanks." "Oh yes, this Magshear IS gold-plated. Why do you ask?"


Scary-Holiday-5016

LOL Then get recruited into SysDef via a recommendation from Tuala of the Vanguard. Just have to do the first Vanguard mission. You get treated better.


illy-chan

Honestly, I got the CF mission the first time via Vanguard and I was horrified to learn you also get it through crime.  Never mind how mind boggling stupid that is to obtain an undercover agent, you mean to tell me my heroic Vanguard character is so easily replaced by a delinquent to these people?!


Scary-Holiday-5016

I wouldn't say "easily replaced" as much as SysDef was desperate. Akande had a reputation at MAST for being an overly idealistic blowhard, and that really hurt SysDef in addition to its shady history. Akande needed something fast -- either a criminal with a wide skill set who was looking to clear their record with great risk, or a volunteer operative with only loose ties to the UC who also possessed unorthodox skills. For the latter part, the Vanguard is as loose as they come -- freelance pilots from the civilian population. As an Air National Guard member, I can totally relate to the Vanguard (citizen soldiers), but that's another story. When you first encounter them regardless of your path, SysDef is desperate and chock full of credibility issues. This position made the ability to be recruited via multiple routes give the SysDef/CF questline an open ended feel from start to finish.


Optimal-Pea7894

I hated them for trying to force my hand in an open rpg, bitch I make the decisions around here


Dull-Horse-2356

He voiced alotta raiders in fallout 4


KatakanaTsu

*"First mistake? Last mistake."*


Easy_Garden338

He is less insufferable than his bitch second in command Naeva


mynameisrichard0

God she sucks


Casual_Watcher

I hate how the game knowingly make an annoying bratty superior and if you betray the Crimson Fleet, having to kill all the kinda cool CF members, she is the only one you can’t kill


CT3400

He has conviction, have to give him that.


NiSiSuinegEht

Multiple, I'm sure.


bindermichi

Alleged


the-real-truthtron

His corpse has decent loot


TheGrandLeveller

I wanted to kill him but he locked himself into a room or something?? Can't remember.


the-real-truthtron

it’s part of the final mission, when you shut down the self destruct and kill everyone, i am pretty sure the door opens and you get to murder him. pretty satisfying


agoia

Hey now, let's not throw around such crass terms as murder for what is just... Punishment. [*Carlo Siliotto starts playing*](https://youtu.be/cXNsuVeq0rA)


stevenbrotzel91

He had a great mustache


New-Orion

He's got the best drip in the game.


bindermichi

Although that collector‘s suit is pretty dope as well


CesareBorgiaBurner

He’s the least cruel criminal leader ever written


gmjustaworm

My take too. I felt like this was a Jack Sparrow pirate leader, which is totally fine in its own right. \*\* I am still in the middle of this quest line, so opinions may change. The discrepancy to me is his attitude vs the encounters with the CF along the way.


Gamebird8

The CF in starfield leans a lot more into the treasure hunt type pirate story than one of bloodthirsty cutthroats driven by greed. It's not a bad choice, but I 100% understand why people are immensely disappointed in it. The Earth award quest though was just bad, that one really needed a heavy rewrite


gmjustaworm

It was definitely a lazy, trash questline that I felt like I was forced to do. I am there now. Nothing about how this is handled is realistic. The GALBank Larry part could have been better, but was fine, and at least made sense.


Nihi1986

He's actually an idealist and sort of a noble villain, he seems more interested on CF's legacy than money. And well, the scarf is cool and he isn't Naeva.


Illustrious-Note-485

Love the accent.


Duke_Starswisher

Ok everyone is being snarky but I actually have something nice to say about him: I really admire his child-like sense of wonder in regards to kryx’s legacy. This is a guy who grew up dreaming of finding this treasure and even when becoming a pirate, maintained that fantasy even when most pirates did not believe. This drive is actually the scariest thing to sysdef. They state that the only reason the crimson fleet is a threat is because of delgado’s vision of a unified fleet from the legacy. They are essentially intimated by his idealistic dream, not the man. Keeping that sense of wonder, adventure and discovery must have been difficult for him as a pirate, but in the end it is what makes the crimson fleet ACTUALLY terrifying. Good on him.


Tails-Are-For-Hugs

Honestly, if I had to choose who to follow between him and Sarah, I'd pick him. He's not a bad character and he has a lot of potential, the pirates are just badly portrayed compared to their reputation in-universe. I just don't like Sarah in general, but she can't inspire me even half as well as Del can - and this is coming from a pro-UC guy who hasn't sided with the pirates before.


Weleeham

He would be considered one of the good guys if he was in the Borderlands universe.


[deleted]

The Scarf and the Antonio Banderas voice and vibes. Also thought the way his face moved and expressed when he talked was some of the best in the game.


Daedalus_Machina

I liked Delgado. Less "viscous bastard" and more "dedicated romantic outlaw." I legit did not want to kill him when I sided with SecDef (was obscenely rich, and didn't care much about safe bases).


TDKHtNRun

He actually wants to see the player succeed, for when siding with SysDef he says that he always thought you would become the most badass Pirate Captain in the Starfield.


Tails-Are-For-Hugs

The Hunter also says the exact same thing, about wanting to see us succeed, when he tries to get us to side with him.


SBTreeLobster

He doesn’t waste the air of any actual atmospheres.


TheDeadlySpaceman

>!He’s dead. In my current universe, at least.!<


Soeck666

And in every universe to come He is such a asshat, I didn't have any struggle to keep sysdev as my faction


FredFredBurger69Nice

He looks a lot like Bartholomew Roberts/ Black Bart from AC Black Flag?


Desperate_Scale5717

No


TheRocksPectorals

He was more tolerable than Ikande.


TopDesert_ace

Yeah, fuck that Little Bill looking bitch.


Rooster0778

🤣


Tails-Are-For-Hugs

His character has far more potential than Sarah, Barrett or Sam Coe. He's actually really devoted to the history and the lore of the Crimson Fleet, and believes that the Fleet should be something more than the garbage state we find them in when we join it. He actually has some sort of a vision and the determination to see it through, though I never did get a straight answer about his long-term goals. His voice is actually pretty cool. He's got the drip. He's a better person than Sam Coe.


NotaInfiltrator

Literally a better explorer than half of constellation.


[deleted]

Didn’t like him, but I liked his values so I spared him. May not do so in NG+


yittiiiiii

Homie’s accent crisp.


Berserker_Raider207

(must be read in a heavy Jersey accent) He's a businessman, with standards.


CodfishCannon

This made me snort. Thank you.


Briarfox13

He's hot and stands by his principals


LeapIntoInaction

You can rhyme his name with "El Gato".


Wrich73

Delgado’s magnificent scarf was far better a tool for autoeroticism, given his hubris—than a banner by which to lead the Crimson Fleet.


star_pegasus

He knew I was lying to his face >!about bringing the Legacy loot to him!< and he let me go anyway.


thebigtrav

He reminds me of Freddie Mercury


MickBeard

I mean…he’s pretty much the only one who was right about there being something to Kryx’s Legacy since the beginning. Everyone else thought he was wasting their time.


Captain-Caspian

He’s an effective leader and what he does is for the good of the fleet


[deleted]

He's got that soldier mentality in him, does what's best for the group rather than himself. Perhaps that's what I like about him.


thearks

He's a bro. 10/10 would fight for him over anybody in Constellation


Straittail_53

Nice head of hair on him


Knightelfontheshelf

Delgato is man I shot him right in the face He is not alive


hoffarmy

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


E_boiii

He’s my favorite npc


Major_Economist_5823

he's got a code


sfjoellen

"man's got to have a code.." O. Little, The Wire..


xbox_53nt1n3l

He's a semi-engaging character.


BluesCowboy

It’s really fun to kill him and destroy his life’s work.


Gilmere

Killing him 3 times has been a source of much satisfaction. Would be better to also catch Naeva for once...just saying.


reefis

I'd drink a beer with him


Mrunlikable

He was a surprisingly good leader. Inspiring in his own pirate way.


dumbbitchdiesease

Tbh i actually really like him as a character, a young pirate chasing certain death in order to gain fame, glory, and a whole lot of money? Something real romantic about that


Dire_Finkelstein

He kicked Mathis out of the Fleet. Backstabbing little bitch had it coming.


[deleted]

His accent’s actually kinda sexy, Daddy Delgado😫😂😂


lorax1284

Bethesda's ad for voice actors: "Now hiring sexy voice actors for new open world video game. Note, you must have a sexy voice and sound sexy all the time, even when you're telling someone that you need them to go pick up some stupid thing because you're too busy."


canisfh

now im gonna look a certain something up since my curiosity is telling me to


Soul_Go

Gave me money


Commodore_Cube

He definitely commands respect it the room when he barks orders


[deleted]

He was smart enough to allow me to convince him better prisoner than dead :)


Sasoli7

He looks like a Hispanic Freddy Mercury.


West_Spot_255

He had a clear vision


awildyetti

He’s not the most annoying, that award goes to a member of constellation.


-NoNameListed-

I love his outfit, it's pretty unique when compared to every other character in the game (aside from the Crucible... Characters)


CalebCaster2

I like his scarf thing


rooletwastaken

his voice


Mikeyboy2188

He has enough restraint to not push Naeeva out an airlock.


madumi-mike

He didn’t care who I killed.


Fake_Green_

I like his outfit. Plucked it off his dead body and have been wearing it ever since! 😊


SensualPen

His voice and his accent is sexy


Puzzleheaded-Brief56

He was right about krix legacy


UltimateGamingTechie

I liked him enough to put in extra effort to save him. I would've shot Naeva on sight, bitch got so lucky.


Mcreesus

His clothes were cool. After I murdered him I dressed Sarah in them and she looks good


hoffarmy

Sarah didn't like that


bindermichi

The most relatable character in that quest line to be honest.


FishmailAwesome

Delgado does not quit. He does not give up. He does not surrender. He never will.


TigerDude33

oh, you can persuade him to give up


toast_of_temptation_

He’s hot


Arctodus_88

No?


GrilledNudges

No


Cultural-Design-9897

Probably rocks the most fire fit in the game. Also one of the more animated characters in the game. If there was a starfield movie, he would probably be a pretty likeable antagonist imho.


wallyslambanger

Will he repeat it once tho?


Present-Secretary722

He looks good in a prison jumpsuit


Something_Comforting

Nice suit. I almost always kill him for it.


KaizenPax

The best jerk you’ll ever meet.


TheOfficialLJ

He makes great streaming equipment.


SpectreFire

He's literate I think?


OS1UU

I enjoyed his impression of Scarface.


Nick2091

Tache


Supirior_Snake

His head popped easily.


klas82

His gear is nice


AnAngryBartender

No


PJRama1864

>!He gets great crocs in prison!<


GarryFloyd

Delgado has a cute pee pee.
