They were in Fallout 3. The white knights of the wasteland.

I guess they are going back to their roots.

Also, even ignoring the fact that you literally said "'plot twist': The child is either a good guy or a bad guy", those are both wrong. The game doesn't explicitly treat him as good or evil, and you can side with or against him.

From what I hear he is evil.

Still waiting on getting my new GTX 970 so I can actually play this game. [I can "play" it with settings knocked down to 720p but the framerate is still pretty garbage so I might as well wait so I can actually have an enjoyable experience.]

My GTX 960 4gb can play on ultra everything at 1080p

Only spent about 200 dollars on it.


Best Buy sells a GTX 960 2gb for 250 dollars, lol.

The Institute and the Brotherhood are both evil

[Lord Tony®]

I only guessed that your son could be good and working with the brotherhood because that's what they did with your dad in Fallout 3.

I figured the son could have been a leader in something similar like project purity, lol.

Well, tony seems really insistent that ever since fallout 3 (the last fallout game before fallout 4 to have the brotherhood in it, as far as i'm aware) the series has been "white knighting" them.
i started typing this post before tony made his post

From what I hear he is evil.

You'll also hear people say that about the brotherhood, whose main purpose in the story is to try and destroy the institute.
Either way, the game doesn't treat either of them as undisputably, de-facto evil.

Because they have been white knighting them.

The only reason the brotherhood aren't white knights in Fallout 4 because there is already enough similarities like looking for your lost family in Fallout 3/4. People would have complained it's basically the same damn story.

I didn't get anything wrong, it's an educated guess that happened to be pretty damn accurate and or close.

How would you know? You haven't played the game.

You are wrong about several details important to the plot.
The only thing you guessed was the basic premise.

It's like me seeing the first trailers for Game of Thrones, saying "obviously there's a war for the kingdom, why else would they show kings and fighting", and then proclaiming to have predicted the entire story.

[Lord Tony®]

During e3 they made no mention of cryogenics. They said you are the "sole" survivor. They also never mentioned of them being unfrozen at specific times.

The only clue they said during e3 was "your appearance alters the appearance of shaun"


So I guessed cryogenics, I guessed that Shaun was also a survivor. I even guessed shaun was unfrozen years before you do. Then I figured of course Shaun would tie into some major faction, doesn't matter if he is good, evil or neutral. He is going to be in a major faction.

For the "basic premise" with one clue that's a hell of a guess.




The people whom argued against me saying I am way off they instead guessed time travel were involved and the main character being a robot.

They even said "Excuse me, Bethesda specifically said you are the 'sole' survivor in Vault 111 which means shaun can't be alive."

[sir dooble]

So you were arguing against idiots on YouTube. That doesn't make your guess smart.

Anyone with any logic could guess the premise.

[Awdax]

The whole getting frozen, looking for your son, and your son turning out to be the antagonist (I mean come on, he's the head of the Institute - 3/4 paths basically paint him as the antagonist) were pretty popular theories.

[Renousim]

does your appearance actually change how shaun looks

Yes
