“He was only twelve, and understood that his experience of the world was limited, but one thing he was quite sure of: when someone said trust me, they were usually lying through their teeth.” - Stephen King, The Institute

Currently reading this and I’m loving it so far.
A while ago I found the concept sketches of Go-Go & I totally forgot I was gonna give her the coolest Bloatfly helmet. I definitely nerfed her
Thinking about Fallout 4′s endings a couple days ago and had a thought. I’m almost 100% positive someone has had the same exact thought as me but still.
The ending that would have made the most sense for the Railroad would be to give the Institute to the synthetics.
They think the Institute is evil but they think it’s evil specifically for how they treat synthetics, which are so close to being human the difference is negligible in their eyes. So why would they blow it all up? The institute is the only place with the capability to make synthetics. Which, by all accounts, have the right to exist in the Railroad philosophy. Or are they hypocrites? Only the synthetics CURRENTLY alive have the right to exist?
I think it would have been far more consistent with their organization (while differing it from other endings) by them taking over the Institute, killing the administrative staff, and letting the synthetics themselves run the facility–thus giving the synthetics the choice to make more of themselves or not. The ultimate autonomy.
