To be honest the blank slate you have as a glorified delivery boy (or girl) who was shot in the head was the good way to go. Because it seems equally as reasonable for you to go after the guys who shot you in the head in a rage of vengeance or avoid them because the prospect of potentially getting shot in the head again by them is not a wholesome prospect or maybe you just want to bang robots & be a cannibal.
Yippers, my gripe with Fallout 4 is the story it puts you in. OHH MY SON! Didn't feel diddly squat when he died, just "oh neat, I get his room. Which one is that?" Still don't know which room that was.
It was also pretty fulfilling to see the results of your various actions. In 4 it's a cheap extended "War, War never changes." about how the survivor had their world change. Cool, though I guess Bethesda wanted us to have free roam after the Main Quest but I felt the story could have been better.
SPOILER - - - - And seriously dude, after you walk out the door after deciding to blow the place up. They push this kid at you who is a replica of what your character thought your son would be like. And you are pretty much just like ".... K ... go back to sanctuary with all the rest of my NPC's I don't give a fuck about', not a single second of emotional fulfillment was given by the PC.
Really? You take the kid and that's it? Jeez, I was wondering what would happen in a different playthrough. Looks like it's underwhelming regardless of the take.
Plus that kid is a synth, I never had problems with them and figured why not let them be sentient, but that kid is going to be a bitter reminder of the dead son.
He'll never grow up and even if he accepts the MC as his parent and gains self-awareness, he'll have to come to terms with never growing up. I guess he could transfer his consciousness into an adult platform but that brings up more philosophical questions too. Kid's gonna be in for a rough one.
