As someone who never finished the story… I guess I don’t need to now
I didn’t either, but that’s the initial story hook isn’t it?
Heading out to find your dad. Or am I remembering wrong?
Heading out to find your son. Finding your dad is FO3. Weirdly your sons name in FO4 is Shaun but everyone calls him Father.
If anyone tries to refer to me as ‘Father,’ I’mma bitchslap them. That’s what the two brats in The Veldt referred to their dad as, and ‘Mother’ was what they called their mom. Creepy little Mike Pence cloned brats.
That’s Fallout 3. In 4 they take your kid from the cryo chambers.
Ah that’s right. It’s been so long.
Your meme is INACCURATE, and you should be LOCKED UP (/s)
I used to have an image for this with Picard behind bars looking sad, but I can’t find it, and trying to scroll back through my comment history on Lemmy is near impossible, so please pretend I found it and posted it here.

Ive never played the game I don’t remember this comment, I am not good at drinking
Yes sir/ma’am.
Isn’t it heavily inferred (especially in the dlc) that you are a synth, and the entire main plot might be essentially fake?
Poor Father just wanted a parent of his own.
I wouldn’t say that. In Far Harbor, one character asks you if you’re a synth and that’s it.
The way he asks it what makes people think the sole survivor is a synth.
He basically is like “Isn’t it weird that your memories only start right before the bomb dropped?” A synths memories would be like that with holes or nothing before a certain point. A real human would have memories from before the bombs dropping. You have to keep in mind that DiMA is a manipulative son of a bitch, you can’t believe a word he says.
The sole survivor is definitely a human. If he wasn’t than any ending where you go against the Institute would just have the Institute using a shutdown code on you like you do to the synth on Libertalia.
I took it as a little wink at the whole thing being a video game
I don’t know, Shaun is a bit of a crazy weirdo with unlimited resources running a weird social experiment.
He created a Synth version of himself to play out his lost childhood, why not a Synth version of a parent who loves him?
I think the best thing about that line is that the player is left to make their own conclusions. If you like the idea, the Survivor is a synth, if you don’t, they aren’t.
Not that I’m aware of.
Drag doesn’t see why a DLC would need to infer things about the main plot. The DLC writers should have access to the lore bible and already know everything that was originally written about the main plot. There shouldn’t be any ambiguity between developers for the same game. It should only be the players who need to infer anything.
