This game has everything. Sometimes you have to make choices. This is some help on how to make some better ones for The Silver Shroud Quest. Careful, there are some spoilers going on here.
There is a quest that you can start by talking with a ghoul names Kent in Goodneighbor. You do a lot of strange and fun stuff while pretending to be the Silver Shroud from an old TV and radio show Kent remembers before the war. Then Kent gets captured and there is a standoff while the boss, Sinjin, is holding a gun to Kent's head. You need to react quickly to save him which is entirely optional.
First off, if you act as the shroud through the entire conversation with Sinjin, you will scare off all the others and don't have to fight them. That leaves the man himself with a itchy trigger finger. There are a few ways to do this.
1) Have a really good weapon. Pretty straight forward; go into VATS mode and aim for his head and hope for the best. If you are not at a high enough level, this is not much of a chance. If you are lucky you can aim for his gun hand and disable him before he gets a shot off but again, unless you have high enough stats, you are betting against the house here.
2) Take some Jet. Or a few drugs if you want. You will greatly slow down time and might get enough shots off to finish him off.
3) change the choices. If you have high Charisma, you can get everyone including the boss to shoot at you instead of Kent. If you are not that strong, you might not survive however.
4) Use the syringe gun. This gun you will actually find in a locked room before the final elevator next to a chemistry station. You can make all types of syringes with the chemistry station including one that will freeze an enemy for 10 seconds. If you are a hoarder like me you can go back to your base and make one of those no problem. Come back and shoot him before he has a chance to do anything.
