BTW this is probably the most inconsistent world by Bethesda so far. It's one thing if they don't try to uphold or ignore original fallout lore, but if they can't believably deliver their own stuff, or infuse the universe with nonsense, braking the suspension of disbelief, well it just gets frustrating.
My first encounter with a human like synth. A guy at a diner pointing a gun at his own clone shouting "he's a synth". The other one shouting back "no I'm not, he's a synth, plis halp". As engaging and original as this encounter was, I couldn't care less despite trying. So I say I don't care and the first proceeds to shoot the clone and walks away (about 10 meters before a random raider turret shots him up too, because this game is so dense you can't make a step in any direction without encountering raider or mutant outpost OMG SO AWESOME no empty space LITRALLY DYING YOLO
). But anywaaay... I loot the body and find "synth parts", because apparently Beth could not come up with a better way to tell me this was a synth or at least come up with something less ridiculously generic
Second time I hear about human like synth is in Diamond city, where they tell me a story about how some years ago some guy randomly started shooting people and how after taking him down they noticed "it was all wires, a machine..." or something dramatic like that.
Then I find a typical "not at all weird something's obviously going on" settlement, which name alone upon me discovering it kinda whispered to me "oh, that's probably one of those token ones that you slaughter whole, can't go without those". A merc inside saying there's something fishy about this town (3 houses inside a wall does not a town make, but that's just my opinion) and asking to investigate certainly did not help to reduce my "suspicion".
Mkay.
Then we have this "boy in the fridge" nonsense.
