Shepard can be plenty sarcastic, you just have to get a feel for the dialogue options. I'm not a big fan of the way Fallout 4 shorthands the dialogue choices, really, because they're not very good at indicating (at least to me) what you're actually going to say. "Sarcastic" is a good example of this, because there is no indication of whether you're going to be wry sarcastic, or mean sarcastic, or bitchy sarcastic, or what. Not enough information.

And unlike in, for instance, The Old Republic, it doesn't appear you can bail out of the conversation and try again if you read the clues wrong and pick an option that turns out to be something you didn't want to say. I find this annoying, as I can't be arsed to quicksave before every dang conversation, plus reloading takes a long-ass time.

Speaking of conversational options, I've managed to acquire a drunken Irishwoman, which wouldn't automatically be a bad thing, but she seems to hate it when I'm... you know... decent to people, so I don't think it's going to work out. Besides, I feel naked without my pal Nick covering my back. I think Dan's run is destined to be mostly about man-robot bromance. :)
