New back story: the Institute chose Shaun, and Nate/Nora because they were already pre-screened for desirable genetic traits.
Why did the Institute choose you as the backup and your child as the primary for the DNA of their synth population? Besides the obvious, it’s in the script and gives the Sole Survivor motivation to get involved by searching for their son.
So with that said, I went back to the back story and what bothers me about it. Plus the Railroad are the group of locals actively fighting the Institute (again an act that gives legitimacy to the Railroad). The Railroad are misguided in that they will choose toasters over people, they are modeled on the Underground Railroad which given its historical significance imbues “The Railroad” with a legitimacy for the player. The synth story line follows very typical Hollywood trope (Cyclones in BSG/Blade Runner/etc.), but based on the info we have, the people of the Commonwealth have every reason to be afraid of Synths, especially after DiMA/Acadia’s behavior. The fact that DiMA, independently behaves just like the institute, is story changing.
The DiMA suggestion about your being a Synth and the whole Acadia/Synth quest line, changed the game for me and my view of synths, the Railroad and the Sole Survivor.
