The mystery you have regarding both organizations is what made me really enjoy it though, this woman in rags telling you to make sure he's considered dead while trying to come to terms with what you should do. Especially because Harkness was the first Courser. The Replicated Man is even more fun to play after learning about what the Institute is like in 4. Man I get waves of nostalgia just reading this stuff, I wish I could get a memory wipe and go back to play Fallout 3 for the first time again. So I guess this ending doesn't really happen, in the Fallout universe. Zimmer is still alive and on a different mission. Zimmer.īut in FO4, it is mentioned that Dr. If you tell Harkness he is an android, one of the outcomes is that he decides to kill Dr. This was all before Fallout 4, don't forget, so before that we never had any specifics.ĮDIT: Just realized that FO4, invalidates one of the Replicated Man endings. So in this one tiny side mission that the player can easily miss, you are suddenly exposed to years of Fallout history and the extreme conflicts and struggles of a mysterious Commonwealth. 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.
