Maybe because it's the apocalypse not everyone can afford glasses so they can't see how dirty it is. But some of the characters have glasses, so maybe they just smoke a lot of weed and can't be bothered.

Pretty sure they replaced people because the human DNA has been put into a blender set to puree through the hundreds of years of radiation on the surface. Realistically, in that environment, you'd be lucky to make it to 25 without developing super cancer. Ergo, the Institute is replacing humanity with a 'species' that can live longer and prosper.

To be fair, that's not the worst plot point ever. Father is blinded by institute brainwashing about adult synths. The only place he's sort of breaking free is when it comes to his dad. Sure the game has mostly horrible writing, but I don't think Shaun having a hypocritical side is the worst.
I still cannot figure out why the Stitute couldn't track Virgil in the Glowing Sea. Maybe they should have used something like, I don't know, robots or something.
its probably the MASSIVE amount of EMP radiation interferring with the scanners. it would explain why it would be the only perfect hideout being so deadly and yet so electronically inacessable.
So Shaun could have just freed his dad from cryo himself, said "Hey I built a paradise in the wasteland let's live there together" and Nate could've been like "Live in paradise with my 60 year old son? Sounds great!" (sarcastically of course) The end.
Yeah, I never played the game, so this is my first exposure to the story. The story makes no since at all. Not coherent or cohesive what so ever. Character motivations are all over the place and it all feels half baked.
@@bricks635 Why was Shaun so cryptic and why didn't he go get his dad sooner. Why was the guy that killed Nate's wife so cryptic and unrevealing. Why was Nate so willing to accept that the old man claiming to be his son was his son? Why was Nate so willing to destroy the Institution? Why was no one interested in the Institution's technology and why was it necessary to blow it up? There are more, but this was quickly off the top of my head.
@@giantent763 I played the game its ass, it is a sad attempt at robot's gaining humanity and sentience and obvious slavery reference, Ghost in a Shell did it better. to answer your questions, 1; Kellog just is cause story intrigue, 2; they kinda just Maury handwaves it away and because they evil is all you're gonna get, 3; cause it goes too far, making robots thats all they are boiled down to, so whatever else they can do, doesn't matter. It all feels like there were too many chefs in the kitchen, like story mode said
@@giantent763 The reality of the situation is the Institute is a selfish organisation that pursues its own interests over those of humanity. Shaun released you because he was dying and probably wanted to meet you before he went. Was he? I think it's more just that Kellogg's not in the game that much to pry answers from. It made sense. The kid was a clone and why would the old guy lie about it? As for his reasoning? He's the player character, his reasons are your own. The Brotherhood view such tech as a threat to humanity. Same applies to the other two, after all it's a point that a lot of the Institute's technology isn't really that useful and they do take files from the place.
You know, it’s a pity that there wasn’t a character that wouldn’t age, who likely existed more than 60 years ago, who could’ve led to the reveal more naturally without weird plot holes. Someone like Nick Valentine, for example. What a pity.

Valentine was written by the same person who wrote far harbor, which was good, whearas most everything else was written by emil pagliaruano, who is terrible writer with an ego bigger than the moon
@@martvinegar3431 The story was literally scrapped a couple months before E3 because BGS revealed that there wouldn't be any returning factions and people lost their fucking minds. So they basically scrapped almost all of it making it a very rushed job, the ironic part is somewhere close to that time was when someone inside the studio floated the idea of the minutemen. Todd did an interview years ago saying that FO4 was basically a game jam for them implementing and trying stuff they'd always wanted to take a crack at but had never fit into their games before, another reason it feels very detached. Iirc the base building was literally a suggestion at a company meeting 3 months before E3
57:32 In my modded playthrough, this was absolutely PEAK comedy. I was using the Alternate Start mod that actually changes/omits all the dialogue about you having a son/wife/being a prewar person. For most of the game, I was genuinely impressed by how they managed to work around these "canon events" in unique, generally not jarring ways. I was actually taking FO4 seriously for the first time because I wasn't bogged down by all the stupidity of the main quest. Then I reached the Institute. The mod basically realized there was absolutely no way to have this conversation without it being a meeting between Shaun and his father... but they certainly tried lmfao. Instead of reuniting with my son, meeting Father was basically just me meeting a random old guy in the faction I was here to destroy, but he still did the whole deal with the robo-kid. Then he asks the question: "Do you think you could love him, like you'd love a real boy?" and I fucking died laughing. Some random creepy old guy with a child robot asking me if I could love him like a real boy. The only way the mod could write around this meeting was to just turn Father into a random "PDF-file".
The mod writers could probably make up some bullshit about father being a dickhead who likes screwing with wastelanders for shits and giggles and the "do you think you could love him like you would a real boy" could be a test to see if you're one those railroad "FREE MUH SYNTHETICS" kind of person or to lead into some dialogue about why synths aren't real people
You mention how the Institute has a lot of useful technology in it. Vault 111 has so much working refrigeration equipment and sterile medical facilities that few people know about, and none of the people who do know about it even think to use it.
Besides the medical supplies, there must be a food stockpile, small armory, water/air filtration, a warehouse of spare parts and tools, and so on. IDK why the minutemen were so eager to rebuild a bombed out coldesac when there is an actual bunker just up the hill.
@@ABUBBA22 Because you are literally wrong, if you actually played the damn game you'd know there IS no food and they didn't have an armory. They had enough food for 3 months and no extra supplies because their vault was supposed to get the all clear signal from Vault Tec that never came because they got hit directly by a couple nukes during the exchange. Eventually the guards started offing the other people there to save food for themselves and when that went to shit they left the vault
@@victorkreig6089 Sorry for not remembering every little detail about a game I played 8 years ago. Still doesn't excuse the fact that Vault 111 is a better location than a bombed out neighborhood. There is still air, water, and power in the vault, along with other possible useful stuff.
Man, Emil really went all out on the writing for this game, it's no surprise 76 and Starfailed were so well received. And TES6? It's going to be glorious! Glorious I tell you!
Truly. That that guy still has a job is my main frustration with Bethesda. For all i care they could make the buggiest shit with that ancient engine if the plot and characters were will written.
Todd was literally gone for the last 3 years of Starfield development because he was working on the fallout tv show and the Indy game. It is quite literally proof that Emil when left to his own devices is about as capable as a hamster with only two legs
Ngl, walking into the Institute and finding Nora would've been a significantly surprise than a Shaun synth and she'd also be a potential companion unlike Shaun who just sits there and occasionally makes a thing for you. But I guess since the writers wrote Father into the corner as not really liking Synths, he'd never do it.
So wait, YOUR SON is the one responsible for people going missing and synthetic human murder? Now that's what I call... *puts on sunglasses* a fallout boy.
I’ll still never understand why they didn’t get Nate, Nora, AND Shaun (preferably Mr. Russel). Shouldn’t all three of them have untainted DNA? Like there’s no reason for the Amogus character to so aggressively try to take the baby.
I think Nate and Nora were supposed to be backups, but they didn't really need two and Kellogg had a tough life so he's allowed to kill at least one loving wife and mother. Still doesn't make sense how Shaun presumably had some power in the organization for a long time and never bothered to go get his dad.
Let's also talk about how they needed to shoot a woman(or man) who had been cryogenically frozen for over two hundred years to take Shaun, like they couldn't overpower either of them by just lightly pressing down on their arms
@@ScroolewseOTOH, it makes perfect sense, given how he was raised - by scientists, not a family, making him mission driven, but not empathetic. He even has some lines about how his release of Nate was “an experiment”. It doesn’t help that his lines and their deliveries make him come off as warm and fatherly, at odds with his background and actions.
Maybe I only have a dumb TV show understanding of science, but can't you get 100% of the DNA you need from a single hair? Or like a scraping from the cheek? You don't have to literally kidnap a whole person?
All 3 of them actually have tainted DNA, they were directly exposed to the light and the shockwave of the nuclear blast. That is a lot of radiation. Nate only has a few years left to live, tops.
I love how the brain doctor has this sudden revelation that the device has a lock on it that has hidden information and that maybe two people could override it. Just from holding a piece of metal and brain in her hands.
First playthrough, I shotgunned Father in the face the second the door opened. It was soon after release so they didn't prepare for that, and I got soft locked lol. My logic was "fuck this old man, he's lying about everything".
Lol same, I went with the rocket launcher. Fuck that guy and fuck my robot clone son. Also killed the railroad for daring to demand me to give over MY chip
Its because they're stupid and those were the games they grew up with 1&2 are objectively garbage and most people like NV because it wasn't made by BGS which is probably the most pathetic thing in gaming, even more pathetic than the people who simp for Nintendo still
I love how the only funny "sarcastic" option (about Railroad puzzle) is making fun of the writing and writers themselves probably didn't realize how funny it was
I have spent an almost embarrassing amount of hours playing this game, and I still can't tell if the railroad are canonically supposed to be enthusiastic clowns who thought reading half a pre war pulp spy novel made them super spies or if its just lazy writing.
They are a "faction" with a 100% failure rate because their solution to "saving" all those synths is to kill them and put fake memories in their corpse What do you think?
My only interpretation is that Bethesda think freeing slaves is misguided and silly. They believe synths are akin to slaves and the Railroad are so clearly misguided in their methods and aims along with being generally incompetent that you can't have an interpretation of them as noble heroes, only as misguided.
even disregarding all the awful sarcastic dialogue, having nate not immediately ask "so why the fucking hell do your synths want to live their own lives outside the institute if they arent sentient and only do what you made them to?" ruins the whole plot
It's downright baffling how stupidly this is written. The Institute has the power to elevate mankind to pre-war, maybe even further pre-war state but they'd rather build synths for literally no reason and be saturday morning cartoon villains.
@@studhouser6969 Cartoon villains at least have a goal. The institute was just standing there with their dicks in their pants looking at the gorilla enclosure and randomly killing people that aren't in their club.
@@studhouser6969 No you see, it's elementary that they replace random people in the wasteland in positions of no particular power because it... it just is okay!
The entire plot just straight up doesn't happen if the geniuses at the institute put a single security guard in front of the teleporter, how the f are these synths escaping the institute lol
But but blade runner!…. Except those synths actually had a purpose, weren’t explicitly only introduced by murder, and had nuance in that some might have went crazy and others were just fighting back to survive… But but Blade Runner!
You can literally find a table with a sun umbrella a few beer bottles, a chair, an ash tray, and some binoculars that overlooks directly at Vault 111. Deacon is a synth who's making reports on you to the institute
I dunno, the synth Gorilla thing seems dumber. Where would they even have access to pure gorilla DNA? Or any gorilla DNA??? That DNA thing was a main plot point!
@@CanonOverseer "for the BoS it makes sense" brother, what? Didn't know they were ludites from the beginning. Only faction that would remotely do it is Caser Legion, because they hate good living conditions or Super mutants. None of the factions (maybe some people, but who would let those psyhopaths lead necessary people for this to happen?) would think destroying a perfectly livable vault would be a good thing.
It's amazing that we can all have many multiple hours long videos and discussions about how badly this game's narrative failed. Just failed in nearly every way possible. But the guy most responsible is on video getting up on stage, and saying he ignores all the reviews because the game sold well. And that guy is still employed. And then he helped make Starfield too. And he's still employed. I mean ... I've seen people get fired just for coming in late too often, come on.
He's the Frank O' Connor of Bethesda Game Studios, once he hit a specific management position nobody would actually tell him his ideas were shit and he continued to rise up the ranks because the board liked the money they were seeing. Todd was gone the last 3 years of Starfield development because he was working on the tv show and the Indy game, that means that the majority of that game is Emil
@@victorkreig6089 I also heard that it was Emil's idea to nuke the NCR and reset the West Coast back to 0 because he “wanted Fallout to be a mix of Borderlands and The Last of Us" and he couldn't do that with the direction that the West Coast was in. I can not think of two games that are as incompatible with each other then Borderlands and The Last of Us yet Emil thinks he is such a genius that he can mix the two together. The fact that he is still a writer at Bethesda should shock people.
@@potatonite2340 Fun fact about Emil, he was Todd Howard's roommate in college. Todd literally gave one of the biggest and most important positions in his company to his idiot college buddy. Emil has done nothing but fail upward and was allowed to do so because Todd would stick his neck out for his best friend since college.
6:45, You know, it really is incredibly weird that everything is so dilapidated. I mean yeah, there would be destruction but it's been 200 years of people living there. There's no reason they couldn't make fresh cement, clean debris, reforge steel sheets, etc. In real life, the level of run-down with this many people wouldn't last more than a decade. Hell, some of the stuff just needs new paint and it's not like we haven't created that from whatever was just lying around for hundreds of years.
@@Nipah.Auauau Yeah, outside of a few items (I'm sure some would last), they'd have to have people actively weaving cloth and making clothes. They very likely wouldn't match the style of pre-war clothes either because of how much more effort it'd take for no extra benefit. Unless things were actually going well, they'd be wearing peasant clothes from the dark ages.
You givs people way too mich credit. There absolutely would be no one cleaning things up, because there's no utilitarian purpose for doing so. You just need to look at places like Detroit, Chicago, or any South American/African/Eurasian city to understand that. People are too busy avoiding getting killed, living in poverty, or just generally trying to survive, to care about trash and rubble.
@@dasfedoraguy3775 It helps when the people living in those places aren't uncivilizable to begin with. Chicago and Detroit were beautiful, wealthy American cities until _something changed._ Most of human history was wartorn, and yet hygiene was still developed all over the world. Filth and bodily waste are repulsive evolutionarily. Anyone still alive after the bombs dropped would remember what the world was like before, and do their best to recreate it. It wouldn't just vanish for centuries because a disaster happened. Bethesda's depiction of an apocalypse is extremely exaggerated for aesthetic effect, but wouldn't bear out in the real world. Even if technology vanished generally, we'd only fall back to around the 1700-1800's.
@@dasfedoraguy3775 Setting aside the fact that they are clearly not just trying to scrape by with their lives because places like the memory den can exist and function. They are also not in every case and every place suffering constant attack or constant issues. Even if someone lives in poverty they can keep a moderately clean house and places of work would still be kept somewhat clean as well. Not every poor person keeps a dirty home.
@@jalilsalomon5587But they also could teleport a small group of scientist and gen 1 or 2 synths in armor outside the vault, enter it, pick up the kid and teleport outside
Wow I'm glad you found the institute and literally didn't clear anything up for me. Why are they replacing random people with sythns? If Shaun wanted you to join the institute then why didn't he just get you? He just let you kill his men and kelog? Why did Shaun say they're not conscious? valentine is clearly sentient. I know they kidnapped Shaun to make synths but why? Like why are they make synths? Like we find out Shaun is the director or whatever but i still feel the same level of mystery as when we didn't know
This was my feeling the whole time too. You get there, they keep telling you how they'll give you all the answers and then switch topic to ask you if you could abandon your earlier aquaintances to force unwilling synths back into labor. Even if you don't recognize them as sentient, why would you want machines back that clearly are "defective" and uncomplying. Also why the F did they have to shoot your wife for it? As if an immortal cyborg human couldn't just grab the kid and leave her?
I never got into the institute playing this game. I knew what was going to happen so I just left it there. Built some settlements, had an affair with the guy from BOS, played the dlcs. I lived a whole life in the wasteland without caring about synths or my son. FTS.
Funny enough, same thing for me. I have sadly over 400 hours in F4 and I have never finished the story line. The furthest I got was our idiot son asking me to bring back synths. After that, all I did was play mods and clean up establishments
@@Mr_Bones. I mean your main goal was to survive and understand the wasteland. As you come out and see the total destruction of the world the chances of you even considering that your son might be alive are so small. YOU just want to keep living first. The whole plot is dumb.
The part when Nate Fallout said he had part of Kellogg with him,and pulled out a box of Cornflakes made me laugh so hard my Zimbabwe Zucchini GamerSupps came out of my nose. Thanks Mr.Z and Mr.B!
One thing to clarify about the Main Story: Virgil escaping the Institute ruined Father’s grand Experiment. The Experiment was to release you from your Pod (at some point), see if you’d escape Vault 111, Survive the Wasteland, and make it to Diamond City. If you made it to Diamond City, you’d confront Kellogg. (who’s been babysitting a Synth version of Child Shaun.) And you’d either be gunned down by Kellogg in the Market or you would’ve killed him and gotten “Shaun” back. Virgil escaping changed Kellogg’s babysitting task to Manhunt, thus inadvertently saving you from laying face down in the Diamond City Market or living a Lie with a Synth.
Which is funny because they changed it to "experiment" and it still works Before the story was forcibly scrapped Nate is actually a synth and basically that entire experiment thing was to test if they had finally figured out a way to make synths on the outside completely indistinguishable from humans sort of a Turing test type thing. That's why Deacon follows you everywhere, mostly because the birds couldn't go into buildings
This video perfectly exemplifies just how shallow and full of plotholes and abandoned plot threads this game is, especially if you just do the main story and ignore all the side content. Like BoS didn't come up once in the entire playthrough, other than seeing them arrive on Prydwen while listening to Nick read you poetry. F4 can be fun, but no thanks to Pagliaroflmao and his writing. It's mostly the crazy shit you get up to in the wasteland on your own while completely neglecting your lost son.

So Shaun could have just freed his dad from cryo himself, said "Hey I built a paradise in the wasteland let's live there together" and Nate could've been like "Live in paradise with my 60 year old son? Sounds great!" (sarcastically of course)
The end.
Yeah, I never played the game, so this is my first exposure to the story. The story makes no since at all. Not coherent or cohesive what so ever. Character motivations are all over the place and it all feels half baked.
@@giantent763 What motivations in particular?
@@bricks635 Why was Shaun so cryptic and why didn't he go get his dad sooner.
Why was the guy that killed Nate's wife so cryptic and unrevealing.
Why was Nate so willing to accept that the old man claiming to be his son was his son? Why was Nate so willing to destroy the Institution?
Why was no one interested in the Institution's technology and why was it necessary to blow it up?
There are more, but this was quickly off the top of my head.
@@giantent763 I played the game its ass, it is a sad attempt at robot's gaining humanity and sentience and obvious slavery reference, Ghost in a Shell did it better. to answer your questions, 1; Kellog just is cause story intrigue, 2; they kinda just Maury handwaves it away and because they evil is all you're gonna get, 3; cause it goes too far, making robots thats all they are boiled down to, so whatever else they can do, doesn't matter. It all feels like there were too many chefs in the kitchen, like story mode said
@@giantent763 The reality of the situation is the Institute is a selfish organisation that pursues its own interests over those of humanity. Shaun released you because he was dying and probably wanted to meet you before he went.
Was he? I think it's more just that Kellogg's not in the game that much to pry answers from.
It made sense. The kid was a clone and why would the old guy lie about it? As for his reasoning? He's the player character, his reasons are your own.
The Brotherhood view such tech as a threat to humanity. Same applies to the other two, after all it's a point that a lot of the Institute's technology isn't really that useful and they do take files from the place.
You know, it’s a pity that there wasn’t a character that wouldn’t age, who likely existed more than 60 years ago, who could’ve led to the reveal more naturally without weird plot holes. Someone like Nick Valentine, for example.
What a pity.

@@nakookan2516no wonder the narrative in this game seems so contravied
Because Nate is a Synth, Nick is a defective robot with brain damage so he's actually able to act like a human
@@martvinegar3431 The story was literally scrapped a couple months before E3 because BGS revealed that there wouldn't be any returning factions and people lost their fucking minds. So they basically scrapped almost all of it making it a very rushed job, the ironic part is somewhere close to that time was when someone inside the studio floated the idea of the minutemen. Todd did an interview years ago saying that FO4 was basically a game jam for them implementing and trying stuff they'd always wanted to take a crack at but had never fit into their games before, another reason it feels very detached. Iirc the base building was literally a suggestion at a company meeting 3 months before E3
"Whats the railroad?"
"Well, when 7 guys and your mom like each other very much...."
That's exactly why I always ALWAYS knock before going in moms room now. Never again😢
57:32 In my modded playthrough, this was absolutely PEAK comedy. I was using the Alternate Start mod that actually changes/omits all the dialogue about you having a son/wife/being a prewar person. For most of the game, I was genuinely impressed by how they managed to work around these "canon events" in unique, generally not jarring ways. I was actually taking FO4 seriously for the first time because I wasn't bogged down by all the stupidity of the main quest. Then I reached the Institute.
The mod basically realized there was absolutely no way to have this conversation without it being a meeting between Shaun and his father... but they certainly tried lmfao. Instead of reuniting with my son, meeting Father was basically just me meeting a random old guy in the faction I was here to destroy, but he still did the whole deal with the robo-kid. Then he asks the question:
"Do you think you could love him, like you'd love a real boy?" and I fucking died laughing. Some random creepy old guy with a child robot asking me if I could love him like a real boy. The only way the mod could write around this meeting was to just turn Father into a random "PDF-file".
The mod writers could probably make up some bullshit about father being a dickhead who likes screwing with wastelanders for shits and giggles and the "do you think you could love him like you would a real boy" could be a test to see if you're one those railroad "FREE MUH SYNTHETICS" kind of person or to lead into some dialogue about why synths aren't real people

You mention how the Institute has a lot of useful technology in it. Vault 111 has so much working refrigeration equipment and sterile medical facilities that few people know about, and none of the people who do know about it even think to use it.
Besides the medical supplies, there must be a food stockpile, small armory, water/air filtration, a warehouse of spare parts and tools, and so on. IDK why the minutemen were so eager to rebuild a bombed out coldesac when there is an actual bunker just up the hill.
@@ABUBBA22 Because you are literally wrong, if you actually played the damn game you'd know there IS no food and they didn't have an armory.
They had enough food for 3 months and no extra supplies because their vault was supposed to get the all clear signal from Vault Tec that never came because they got hit directly by a couple nukes during the exchange. Eventually the guards started offing the other people there to save food for themselves and when that went to shit they left the vault
@@victorkreig6089 Sorry for not remembering every little detail about a game I played 8 years ago. Still doesn't excuse the fact that Vault 111 is a better location than a bombed out neighborhood. There is still air, water, and power in the vault, along with other possible useful stuff.

Man, Emil really went all out on the writing for this game, it's no surprise 76 and Starfailed were so well received. And TES6? It's going to be glorious! Glorious I tell you!
The TES6 reveal will be that the whole game takes place in Orsinium. You will be the Ogreborne and kill Malacath.
Truly. That that guy still has a job is my main frustration with Bethesda.
For all i care they could make the buggiest shit with that ancient engine if the plot and characters were will written.
Todd was literally gone for the last 3 years of Starfield development because he was working on the fallout tv show and the Indy game. It is quite literally proof that Emil when left to his own devices is about as capable as a hamster with only two legs

Ngl, walking into the Institute and finding Nora would've been a significantly surprise than a Shaun synth and she'd also be a potential companion unlike Shaun who just sits there and occasionally makes a thing for you. But I guess since the writers wrote Father into the corner as not really liking Synths, he'd never do it.
A synth spouse was seemingly cut content.
Do you think, that if Nora synth was there, since there is no connection or love between Shaun and his parents, Shaun would have... done his mom?

I’ll still never understand why they didn’t get Nate, Nora, AND Shaun (preferably Mr. Russel). Shouldn’t all three of them have untainted DNA? Like there’s no reason for the Amogus character to so aggressively try to take the baby.
I think Nate and Nora were supposed to be backups, but they didn't really need two and Kellogg had a tough life so he's allowed to kill at least one loving wife and mother. Still doesn't make sense how Shaun presumably had some power in the organization for a long time and never bothered to go get his dad.
Let's also talk about how they needed to shoot a woman(or man) who had been cryogenically frozen for over two hundred years to take Shaun, like they couldn't overpower either of them by just lightly pressing down on their arms
@@ScroolewseOTOH, it makes perfect sense, given how he was raised - by scientists, not a family, making him mission driven, but not empathetic. He even has some lines about how his release of Nate was “an experiment”.
It doesn’t help that his lines and their deliveries make him come off as warm and fatherly, at odds with his background and actions.
Maybe I only have a dumb TV show understanding of science, but can't you get 100% of the DNA you need from a single hair? Or like a scraping from the cheek? You don't have to literally kidnap a whole person?
All 3 of them actually have tainted DNA, they were directly exposed to the light and the shockwave of the nuclear blast. That is a lot of radiation.
Nate only has a few years left to live, tops.

My compliments to the editor, the gag where her nose grows when she says “nobody knows” made me lol fr
I love how the only funny "sarcastic" option (about Railroad puzzle) is making fun of the writing and writers themselves probably didn't realize how funny it was
I have spent an almost embarrassing amount of hours playing this game, and I still can't tell if the railroad are canonically supposed to be enthusiastic clowns who thought reading half a pre war pulp spy novel made them super spies or if its just lazy writing.
They are a "faction" with a 100% failure rate because their solution to "saving" all those synths is to kill them and put fake memories in their corpse
What do you think?
My only interpretation is that Bethesda think freeing slaves is misguided and silly. They believe synths are akin to slaves and the Railroad are so clearly misguided in their methods and aims along with being generally incompetent that you can't have an interpretation of them as noble heroes, only as misguided.

even disregarding all the awful sarcastic dialogue, having nate not immediately ask "so why the fucking hell do your synths want to live their own lives outside the institute if they arent sentient and only do what you made them to?" ruins the whole plot
It's downright baffling how stupidly this is written. The Institute has the power to elevate mankind to pre-war, maybe even further pre-war state but they'd rather build synths for literally no reason and be saturday morning cartoon villains.
@@studhouser6969 Cartoon villains at least have a goal. The institute was just standing there with their dicks in their pants looking at the gorilla enclosure and randomly killing people that aren't in their club.
@@studhouser6969 No you see, it's elementary that they replace random people in the wasteland in positions of no particular power because it... it just is okay!
The entire plot just straight up doesn't happen if the geniuses at the institute put a single security guard in front of the teleporter, how the f are these synths escaping the institute lol
I still don't get why they replace random dudes with synth clones.
Did anybody else feel like Synths are just machines and its fine to turn them off whenever you want?

Isn't that what the ARTEMIS mod for Fallout NV was? Yeah, we had synths before, just better.
But but blade runner!…. Except those synths actually had a purpose, weren’t explicitly only introduced by murder, and had nuance in that some might have went crazy and others were just fighting back to survive…
But but Blade Runner!
the reason why it gets complicated is because they become sentient concious beings
LOL I never knew Deacon was actually shadowing the player the entre time. What a nice little detail.
You can literally find a table with a sun umbrella a few beer bottles, a chair, an ash tray, and some binoculars that overlooks directly at Vault 111. Deacon is a synth who's making reports on you to the institute
Of all the stupid writing decisions, blowing up the Institute rather than taking it over might bother me the most.
Damn, this game sucks.
I dunno, the synth Gorilla thing seems dumber. Where would they even have access to pure gorilla DNA? Or any gorilla DNA??? That DNA thing was a main plot point!
The sad thing is that Fallout 4 is good compared to Starfield 😂

For the BoS it makes sense, railroad maybe...? minutemen absolutely not, it could be an option but it's an incredibly stupid one.
@@CanonOverseer "for the BoS it makes sense" brother, what? Didn't know they were ludites from the beginning. Only faction that would remotely do it is Caser Legion, because they hate good living conditions or Super mutants. None of the factions (maybe some people, but who would let those psyhopaths lead necessary people for this to happen?) would think destroying a perfectly livable vault would be a good thing.
It's amazing that we can all have many multiple hours long videos and discussions about how badly this game's narrative failed. Just failed in nearly every way possible. But the guy most responsible is on video getting up on stage, and saying he ignores all the reviews because the game sold well. And that guy is still employed. And then he helped make Starfield too. And he's still employed. I mean ... I've seen people get fired just for coming in late too often, come on.
I'm convinced he's got blackmail on upper management. Realistically though, they probably don't consider ratings, only sales as a measure of success.
He's the Frank O' Connor of Bethesda Game Studios, once he hit a specific management position nobody would actually tell him his ideas were shit and he continued to rise up the ranks because the board liked the money they were seeing. Todd was gone the last 3 years of Starfield development because he was working on the tv show and the Indy game, that means that the majority of that game is Emil
@@victorkreig6089 I also heard that it was Emil's idea to nuke the NCR and reset the West Coast back to 0 because he “wanted Fallout to be a mix of Borderlands and The Last of Us" and he couldn't do that with the direction that the West Coast was in. I can not think of two games that are as incompatible with each other then Borderlands and The Last of Us yet Emil thinks he is such a genius that he can mix the two together. The fact that he is still a writer at Bethesda should shock people.
@@potatonite2340 Fun fact about Emil, he was Todd Howard's roommate in college. Todd literally gave one of the biggest and most important positions in his company to his idiot college buddy.

Don't forget everyone wearing tattered pre-war clothes that would have definitely disintegrated by now.
@@Nipah.Auauau Yeah, outside of a few items (I'm sure some would last), they'd have to have people actively weaving cloth and making clothes. They very likely wouldn't match the style of pre-war clothes either because of how much more effort it'd take for no extra benefit.
Unless things were actually going well, they'd be wearing peasant clothes from the dark ages.
You givs people way too mich credit. There absolutely would be no one cleaning things up, because there's no utilitarian purpose for doing so. You just need to look at places like Detroit, Chicago, or any South American/African/Eurasian city to understand that. People are too busy avoiding getting killed, living in poverty, or just generally trying to survive, to care about trash and rubble.
@@dasfedoraguy3775 It helps when the people living in those places aren't uncivilizable to begin with. Chicago and Detroit were beautiful, wealthy American cities until _something changed._
Most of human history was wartorn, and yet hygiene was still developed all over the world. Filth and bodily waste are repulsive evolutionarily. Anyone still alive after the bombs dropped would remember what the world was like before, and do their best to recreate it. It wouldn't just vanish for centuries because a disaster happened. Bethesda's depiction of an apocalypse is extremely exaggerated for aesthetic effect, but wouldn't bear out in the real world.
Even if technology vanished generally, we'd only fall back to around the 1700-1800's.
@@dasfedoraguy3775 Setting aside the fact that they are clearly not just trying to scrape by with their lives because places like the memory den can exist and function.
They are also not in every case and every place suffering constant attack or constant issues.
Even if someone lives in poverty they can keep a moderately clean house and places of work would still be kept somewhat clean as well. Not every poor person keeps a dirty home.
The moral of the story is: don’t suck. Unless you want to suck, in which case, suck.
Suprised they didn't show the scene of Preston suffering a mental break realizing you completely forgot to trigger the evacuation alarm.
So Kellog kidnapped Shaun sixty years ago, raised him for ten years, gave him to the institue, and Ellie recalls this like it was last week.

Mr. Storymode, you sell out.
Wow I'm glad you found the institute and literally didn't clear anything up for me.
Why are they replacing random people with sythns?
If Shaun wanted you to join the institute then why didn't he just get you? He just let you kill his men and kelog?
Why did Shaun say they're not conscious? valentine is clearly sentient.
I know they kidnapped Shaun to make synths but why? Like why are they make synths?
Like we find out Shaun is the director or whatever but i still feel the same level of mystery as when we didn't know
This was my feeling the whole time too. You get there, they keep telling you how they'll give you all the answers and then switch topic to ask you if you could abandon your earlier aquaintances to force unwilling synths back into labor.
Even if you don't recognize them as sentient, why would you want machines back that clearly are "defective" and uncomplying.
Also why the F did they have to shoot your wife for it? As if an immortal cyborg human couldn't just grab the kid and leave her?
@@Neysiriss right!? I feel like they threw everything out the window just so the could do the Shaun twist
And why are they dangerous if they get out? THEY ARE ALREADY REPLACING REAL PEOPLE WITH THEM!
I never got into the institute playing this game. I knew what was going to happen so I just left it there. Built some settlements, had an affair with the guy from BOS, played the dlcs. I lived a whole life in the wasteland without caring about synths or my son. FTS.
Funny enough, same thing for me. I have sadly over 400 hours in F4 and I have never finished the story line. The furthest I got was our idiot son asking me to bring back synths. After that, all I did was play mods and clean up establishments

Beautiful use of the world of warcraft quest accept/complete sounds. Thought it sounded familiar.
One thing to clarify about the Main Story: Virgil escaping the Institute ruined Father’s grand Experiment.
The Experiment was to release you from your Pod (at some point), see if you’d escape Vault 111, Survive the Wasteland, and make it to Diamond City. If you made it to Diamond City, you’d confront Kellogg. (who’s been babysitting a Synth version of Child Shaun.) And you’d either be gunned down by Kellogg in the Market or you would’ve killed him and gotten “Shaun” back.
Virgil escaping changed Kellogg’s babysitting task to Manhunt, thus inadvertently saving you from laying face down in the Diamond City Market or living a Lie with a Synth.
Which is funny because they changed it to "experiment" and it still works
Before the story was forcibly scrapped Nate is actually a synth and basically that entire experiment thing was to test if they had finally figured out a way to make synths on the outside completely indistinguishable from humans sort of a Turing test type thing. That's why Deacon follows you everywhere, mostly because the birds couldn't go into buildings
>About to do some chores
