Winnick makes a note in the cutscene after the ‘Of Rats and Raiders’ quest along the lines of “You may now make Sanctuary your home.”
I remember that housing used to be unlocked after this quest, but was changed. This line now makes no sense, and honestly the gravity of being granted permit to own a home in Sanctuary should be tied to saving the city.
With the increased difficulty of the ‘Breach’ update, I was level 18 when I completed the quest as The Black Trench is a high level zone, which also means that I had 3 homes bought way before Winnick tells me to ‘Make Sanctuary my home.’
Is it possible to revert this change? To make the entire quest and cutscene impactful? It seems silly but it honestly removed me from being immersed in the quest.
