@@jf8350143 Whether it was intentional or not the Institute destabilized the entire Commonwealth between the Broken Mask incident in 2229 and the massacre of the Commonwealth Provisional Government a few years later. We don't know exactly when Shaun took over as Director but the end of the use of the FEV occurred at most only a few years before 2287 with Virgil's escape.

Whenever the institute says this shit i remember that one town with the really smart girl they massacred just because she found a datadisk with critical info. that could have been handled a 100 different better ways but how they went about it reveals their true nature despite what they like to believe they are. Intentions and self delusions dont matter, how you behave and act matters cause that shows what you will DO and what you actually are when it comes down to it at the end of the day.

My first playthrough of fallout 4 started well, however, when I met Shaun. I don’t remember the dialogue but he called the Sole Survivor’s wife collateral damage or something like that. He proceeded to get a Deathclaw gauntlet shoved so far into his chest that he exploded (thanks to bloody mess.) From there, the Sole Survivor went psychotic, we started eating people…… FUN TIME

[@angusking1593]

Giving the secret dialgue, "After all I've done, the lengths which I've gone to give you a new home, a new life." What has he done for you before that point? Confronted his father's murderer? Crossed the glowing sea? Killed a courser? That's all the player. He had opportunities to bring you in. He could have ordered Kellog to try to bring you in. The courser, well, wasn't there for you but it could have also offered to take you in. It's pretty much the opposite of what he says, pretty much everything he has done before you actually enter the Institute has been to hinder you getting in.

[@a.j.carter2294]

The entirety of the main questline up until meeting Father has been his design, apart from the Sole Survivor's efforts and of those aiding them to infiltrate the Institute-- that he left to chance because, as Father states himself, letting you out of 111 was an experiment. Synth crows and seagulls observe and track your location in every place you see them. Father arranged to have Kellogg and child-synth Shaun appear in Diamond City before moving them to Fort Hagen knowing the likelihood of the Sole Survivor pursuing those leads. Father's preferred outcome of this experiment culminates in Kellogg being taken out of the picture potentially allowing the SS to fill the role he left, as well as filling the role of Director, but that, I assume was decided a bit later, after making sure the SS could be trusted.

If you really pay attention to what he’s done, read the logs and files, you’d know the institute is a completely twisted organization that hides behind science to complete its dirty work. They treat everything with indifference and have no conscience. To them the end always justifies the means.

[@angusking1593]

@@NemeanLion- I know, its more the dialogue, he claims to have done so much for you but really he puts you through hell to test if you can reach him. He could have sent a courser to unfreeze you and teleport you back to the Institute, but he didn't. Might have been interesting that way, you start in the Institute, everything seems good. Then for some reason you need to visit the Commonwealth, on the outside it's a wasteland, talking to people reveals what the institute are doing, destroying settlements, replacing people. They have everything they need but they still choose to make life harder for the rest of the Commonwealth. Looking at the whole thing, the Institute are evil. They are the bad guys. Though having the first hour or so after leaving the Vault being in there with them and hearing their logic.Might be a strong first impression. As it is you are pretty much guaranteed a bad first impression of them. I remember the first I heard of the Institute was Nat talking about them. and, well... she was right. They have it good but they make lie worse for the Commonwealth. After talking to her I never thought they were the good guys.

When you side with The Institute, there is no option to make them good guys. You're their leader and you can't order them to stop fucking with people on the surface, for some reason. The Institute created artificial life. Machine's more capable than any single man. They are used as janitors and errand boys. The Institute clearly has the resources to mass produce stim packs and rad-away, and could even try to figure out new ways to combat radiation. But they don't. The Institute could surely create unmanned drones to spy on the surface, but they'd rather kidnap and replace people and make people on the surface hate them. The Institute could use their synths to set up schools that would teach the surface dwellers how to farm better, how to create more stable structures, and how to clean their god damn settlements. They don't. I hate everything about Bethesda's lazy writing when it comes to this faction.

"Whoops, looks like I spent way too long on sidequests. Thanks, Preston(!)"

[@jcohasset23]

That's the problem with a story that requires the player character to care about a character that the player doesn't necessarily care about at all, especially since the player spends almost no time with Shaun before having to run to the vault (heck the player probably cares more about the other spouse if they spent any time changing their look). It's made even worse that the player can go side quest or get involved in settlement building for as long as they want while the player character should want nothing more than to find out what happened to Shaun and/or get revenge for the death of their spouse.

[@suiway]

​@@jcohasset23 It really doesn't help that its in a post apocalypse too where you're supposed to feel like just basic survival is much tougher. I'd genuinely feel more motivated to track down the raiders if they had stolen my clean water or something and the game started with just trying to survive instead of constantly trying to tell me to care about shaun even though literally the only thing i know about the kid is that his name is shaun.

[@jcohasset23]

@@suiway Some of the problem is it's not that difficult to survive even on survival mode. Food and water are fairly plentiful, especially upon doing anything with the settlement building, with saving only limited to sleeping or exit saves really the hindering factor. 3 steel makes essentially an unlimited water source for the player with a water fountain or sink. Sure that's in the Vault-tec dlc but even a basic water pump provides the player with an unlimited source of water. I don't think there is anything wrong with Nate/Nora being focused on Shaun, though the story isn't strong enough for the player to care all that much about their infant that they've spent all of like 5 seconds with in-game before the bombs fell. I think what hurts it is the fact that right after the player is given their first clue to go search for him in Diamond City it also opens up the Minutemen and BoS quests to spend as long as one wants on those, sidequests, settlement building, and exploring but when the player ultimately does more of the main quest the game acts like we didn't do any of that. The game does allow you to hunt down Kellogg for revenge but the character is still doing it to find Shaun and the player can't ask questions like "why". It creates dissonance between what the player wants and what the character wants.

Father released us having realized we are a “lone survivor” and wanted to see the results of what we could do and possibly use us if possible, they were always watching and even deacon was on the whole thing.

I like how he never mentions about the institute killing shauns mother to get him Edit: I mean could I be wrong if it was mentioned and he would probably respond like it is a good thing?

[@sunsetmenace1749]

You get the option of saying your spouse was killed. He responds like "it was regrettable" something cold like that

[@SomeGuyWhoPlaysGames333]

He mentions it when you speak to him after the battle of Bunker Hill.

[@adamfarkas5327]

Yeah, as GameAddict and Darren says. To paraphrase it, he says "It was unfortunate that she died and it was an unnecessary collateral damage."

@@sunsetmenace1749 i mean, he never knew her. Why he have to care about her?

Still insane that you finally reach the institute, and his first act is to experiment on you with the child synth. Totally insane.

No joke this is what I did on my first run through. I went in planning to run in, grab my kid, shoot as many ppl as needed, and get out. When I realized they were expecting me I knew they had either planned to find a peaceful resolution or it was a trap. Usually it's a trap. I figured they'd dangle my son in front of me to try and manipulate me to submit to whatever dastardly plans they had intended. New plan: get to Shaun and spring him. So when it turns out the Shaun they led me to was a robot I was infuriated because that told me they had absolutely no intention of ever letting me see my kid. I was still processing when Father walked in and I shot him with no hesitation. That triggered everyone as an enemy and the quest didn't offer any advice... so I realized that fucker Todd wanted me to talk to the guy. _reload save file_

I've done this before. I encourage others to try it out as well. Make sure you are well leveled though before you do it as it does considerably raise the difficulty of the game a bit, especially right after killing him. But it will have a nice trade-off. Not only will you have loads to loot before leaving, but you have quite a few changes to the story that are interesting

[@LoneWolfsLair]

I actually did this my very first play through. I was extremely mad when I saw the robot shaun because I thought that was him so I immediately shot him with the intentions of escaping with shaun. I was very confused afterwards

[@doriscarrasco1753]

I killed him on accident tge first time i saw father. I was pressing the right trigger to skip the conversation and it ended and i was repeatedly pressing tge triger and BAM! Head exploded lol

[@michaelproctor8100]

Not long after I met Father at the Institute, a group of Synths attacked Sanctuary Hills and killed one of my settlers. I found this odd because after meeting father any Synth that I encountered in the Commonwealth recognized me as being related to Father and would not attack me. However, the Synths that attacked Sanctuary Hills did not recognize me, even when I was standing in front of them.
