Ekayne Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 SPOILER ALERT (duh) so, in fallout 4 you root around in Kellog's head. and you see Shaun at age 10. later, you meet father who claims he is shaun and he says he's 60. I called Bullshit right away. why? Inside Kellog's head, Diamond city radio is playing. supposedly fifty years ago, if father is to be believed. the same guy wouldn't be doing the station. what's more is that he mentions Piper! now, you could write this off as a game contiguity error. they said "Oh he's in diamond city" let's play diamond city radio! coulda been the radio guy's dad or somthing. But if he mentioned piper, it said "piper was at it again" which meant that Shawn was ten years old, when piper was doing her job as a reporter in diamond city. if piper had been around at that time she'd have to be younger than Shaun. yet somehow father is in his sixties and claims to be Shaun. Is the institute lying to me? Is Shaun not actually Father in some later reveal? or do they stick to that lie or error till the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevkiev Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Ha ha, you could be right but, whenever I see something like this now I'm reminded of the initial diner scene in "Looper" where Bruce Willis refuses to discuss the intricacies of time travel "Oh man, don't START with that s^^^^!! It'll just screw with your head." (I know we're not exactly talkin' time travel, but that scene still comes to mind :P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilkandeekid Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) The kid in his memory is synth Shaun man, kid even says "are we going back to see father?" and father is the real Shaun. The player even freaks out when seeing the synth kid at the institute as he looks identical to the one in Kellogs memory.Kellogs last memory is sometime after Virgil escaped the institute and headed to the glowing sea, hence the courser giving Kellog orders to go kill him, placing it as rather recent event.

Ekayne Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 fine. I guess you're right. *grumbles unhappily* they really took the "I am your father" bit and reversed it didn't they? I just, I expected a heartwarming reunion or something. and I expect that the institute would lie to me to get the job done. I mean, couldn't the synth child be Shaun with some kind of obedience implant? I wouldn't put it past the institute. but you're probably right. I'm grasping at straws.

lilkandeekid Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Im more amazed that "Father" doesnt look younger and healthier considering what the institute was able to do for prolonging Kellogg's life and looks (Kellogg is like 110 vs Shaun at 60).
