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.
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.
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 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.
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.
