So, what's your opinion on the whole issue with The Institute? Why is Elder Maxson such a shit cunt? My opinion is that Synths aren't the problem, it's the institute scientists who program them as slaves. Nick Valentine, DIMA (and the Synths of Arcadia) and the Synths in The Railroad are great examples of the fact that escaped Synths can develop their own personalities or have pre-set ones that allow them to function as normal human beings.

>consider them evil, vile machines instead of the incredibly advanced super soldiers that they could (and have) been programmed to be.
>destroy them and the all the equally, if not more advanced technology in an underground base that contains exactly what The Brotherhood is meant to be looking for.
It's a poorly written game. That should answer all questions.

Bethesda can't into writing anon.
If it was done by any other company, we'd be probably given the choice to fuck over everyone, reprogram synths, influence the BoS, take over institute or kick everyone out.
Instead we were treated like jackasses on a leash.

OP here. Yeah, I agree, but this really shouldn't be what's happening. Not to mention the fact that Maxson the fucking cunt decided it was a good idea to kill his most trusted and most valuable Paladin for simply being a Synth. He was still loyal to the brotherhood, and nothing could change that, even him being a Synth.
>being forced to kill my cool synth friend
brotherhood a SHIT

Btw this is all for RP sake. I want to have a head cannon where either Danse or the player character tell Maxson to fuck off and then either of them become the new elder, and they use the Synths for what they SHOULD have been sued for. Just want to get peoples ideas on the whole situation first, and also whether the Brotherhood would even ever accept Synths in their ranks after knowing they're essentially meta-humans.

Not talking him out of it.
It's a terribly written convoluted mess that makes no sense
>>340054492
he can be loyal one day and nuke the base in the other day due to Institute brainwashing.
Get a new haircut and I'll take you seriously
supposed leader of the BoS military-like organization tip top kek
I'd like to have a conversation with his character designer

It's very simple.
Everyone in the game is retarded because the writers were retarded.
