It explains why Father would release you from cryo, and would trust you so unquestionably if you were already a synth he was using in an experiment. Actually makes some of the story less complete shit

>you become a synth
You can't become a synth

Those things are made from scratch, not by modifying already existing humans
>>
>>338386548
for example, how your "son" is a synth when you first go to the institute and your real son says it was an interesting experiment for you to interact with the synth. It makes that moment all the more disturbing.

>>338386631
The brain can be removed and placed in a synth body.

Would be way better if thats actually the case.

It would fix a lot of retarded plotholes that start at the beginning.

They keep you around as a "backup" in case Shaun doesn't work out.

They purposely sabotage and kill everyone else because why not.

We can sit here and pick at minor details, but it's confirmed you are a synth in far harbour

Which makes sense because if you try to destroy the Institute they can just use a shutdown code on you.

This makes no fucking sense considering the player's interactions with Shaun, who doesn't consider Synths to be anything but sentient tools. The only time his mind is changed is when he is fucking dead and finally has a change of heart and wants you to raise Synth Shaun as a real child when you destroy the Institute.

And the "human brain synth body" doesn't work either because that is essentially identical to cybernetic shit and Shaun also has an unfounded hatred of cybernetics based on his views of Kellogg.

I guess the player character is a super duper secret synth that nobody in the Institute even knows is a Synth.

Yeah. It would have been the perfect explanation for that godawful intro.

It could have been faulty programming to give you some fake memories, thus explaining the pre-war Vertibirds and signing up for the vault and the bombs immediately dropping, and the fact that the protag's family eats a full scale nuke and isn't blinded or vaporized or receives a single bit of radiation from it.

Instead Bethesda literally plays it straight.

This is false. The Institute kept you alive as a backup in case Shaun died before they could use his pure DNA for their Synth project. Unless they took him, perfected the Gen IIIs and unfroze you to replace you, only to release Synth!You to go on a rampage, this is horseshit.

The responses you can offer are so limited to force you to think that it might actually be a slight possibility. You can't question it beyond that.

Takes me back to all those pre-release rumors about the main character being a synth. What I wonder though is if they're planning a Lonesome Road setup where all the story DLCs link to the last one or if they're just going to drop this like so many other plotlines.

Sole Survivor being a synth would make the game a lot more interesting though, and certain quests like dealing with Danse would have a lot more weight if you could figure it out early.

This really makes me wonder: Bethesda has hired people who have only one purpose; to create, uphold and tie together a consistent story in the Elder Scrolls universe and all of it's installments... so why is Fallout such an inconsistent piece of shit when it comes to the lore?

Do they just not care about this series that much and only ride with it's name to make shekels?
>>
>>338394796
They didn't know they had an infiltrator until you go into the Institute and poke around in their servers.

Doesn't make sense given how Shaun treated you as his father and would have never allowed a synth to govern the Institute since he sees them as nothing more than tools.

They don't even look alike. I might've believed you if the kid had glasses and anywhere close to the same haircut.

>cameos are nepotism
Game devs put themselves/friends in games all the time. It's not really nepotism. I don't see anyone complain about it outside of obnoxious donator rewards in KS games.

you were supposed to kill him originally as part of a quest but instead he turns into a lawn gnome.

Sounds like a good money saver to me man. If Ronald Pearl-Man got shafted to give one of Todd's friends the narration spot, then it might be something to get concerned about.

So? What do they have to do with third wave synths? Children of Atom aren't synths. Neither are Ghouls or Super Mutants?
>>338400157

Not at all, it would allow them to blend into society much better. If Society knew that synths were not affected by Radiation then they could easily subject them to radiation to weed them out, it could very well be an intentional design choice to make them affected by radiation and can easily be explained.

I don't even like FO4 and i'm not buying this shitty DLC (not when Blood and Wine is releasing in 10 days) but you guys are hating for the sake of it and simply wanting it to not make sense.
>>
>>338400139
To be fair, radiation does have an effect on ghouls and supermutants find the glow pleasing (but don't heal from it), so there could be some effect.

CotA are just Bethesda magic.

>>338400157
Synths have naturally higher energy weapon resistance. It's not a step back from humanity, but perhaps for synth overall survivability potential.
>>
>>338393551

Pretty much this.

It's just really bad writing to try and "make you think".

Nevermind that you have prewar memories, you were specifically kept as a backup sample of pure unadulterated human DNA, and uh every other thing in the game like you being susceptible to radiation/being able to get tired/etc.

That's what Kelog says when he shoots your wife. Literally, he works for the Institute. Literally, why the fuck would they bother maintaing pure genetic non-dna-iradiated human, if you were a synth? You were the genetic backup for Father, so they can clone him or whatever.

Vault Tech guy knows you from before the war. Plus you are not immune to radiation. And if you want to site perks there's a perk that essentially turns you into a fresh ghoul with ghoul innards. You just havnt started rotting yet. Synths can't become ghouls.

Synths also don't need to eat or drink to survive. Survival mode confirms that you die without either.

>Vault Tech guy knows you from before the war.
He knows the person you were copied from. Ask yourself this: Do you ever get to have an in depth conversation with him? How many discrepancies in the details do you suppose would crop up once you did? Of course as a robot your interactions with humans will always be limited to four or so rough approximations of what a human might sound like instead of a real conversation. You never even question why you can never really form a truly deep bond with people around you, do you?

Fallout 4 was one of the only games I've ever not completed the main quest for. Played halfway through and lost absolutely all interest.

Before the first trailer was even over, it was obvious your character was from the past, and before the recommended videos even popped up, I predicted that it'd turn out PHONE WAS YOU and you'd been a robot recreation of a pre-war man all along. I heard about the main quest's endgame reveal about Shaun, but I never completed the game, so I've been discussing it for months, quietly assuming you also find out you're a synth. I legitimately had no idea that wasn't a thing that was already 100% confirmed.

Is this for fucking real? Is this really supposed to be a surprise? How does anyone actually think this fixes ANY of Fallout 4's horrendous story? The fact this wasn't in the endgame makes things so much fucking worse for some reason.
