Not to mention that there is also an underground movement who fights against this Institute and helps synths escape, which can include facial reconstruction, memory wipes and new identities. They specifically had to create a section of hunters to track down their own creations who suffer traumatic memories and try to escape due to the Instute's actions. Within a few lines of dialogue we suddenly discover that there is a technologically advanced Commonwealth out there, where an organisation called the Instutute who specializes in said technology is based, and that they conduct unethical research in the name of science and research. Asking the right questions to the right people, finding leads.Īnd then on top of that, in this one tiny sidequest, you are exposed to some extremely fascinating Fallout lore.
I think the only times you fire your gun are against a few mirelurks, but the vast majority of the quest is detective work. I was thinking to myself why I loved Replicated Man so much and I think it's because it's an extremely intriguing, non-combat related mission.
