Riley (Fallout 4) (2024)

FAQs

Is Riley actually a synth in Fallout 4? ›

The city does not become hostile if the player character intervenes by killing Kyle. If Riley is attacked, however, Kyle is immediately killed and the city becomes hostile. Riley does not carry any Institute items nor does he drop a synth component upon death, indicating that he is indeed human, not a synth.

Sorry to break it to ya, but Kyle's fate is sealed. In Fallout 4, during the confrontation in Diamond City, once things escalate, there's no option to save him. It's one of those moments that show how brutal the wasteland can be.

In Sheep's Clothing: Following The Nuclear Option and the destruction of the Institute, returning to Diamond City reveals that McDonough was finally outed as a synth but took Geneva hostage.

Synthetic Love is a Fallout 4 companion mod that adds a synthetic human character named Nora to the game. The character gets added regardless if the game player has selected the Male (Nate) or Female (Nora).

His status as a synth is never alluded to or mentioned in dialogue. Sturges also has the Synth trait in Fallout Shelter Online and his biography claims he is a third generation synth created by the Institute who does not know his origins.

If he is not killed, Skinny can also be found wandering the Commonwealth. He will tell the player character that he blames them for his crew leaving him. Occasionally, he will be found attacking a caravan.

Myrna, referred to as Crazy Myrna by Piper, is an anti-synth conspiracy theorist and the proprietor of a junk shop operating in Diamond City in 2287.

Sadly, no. The whole premise of Fallout 4 starts with you not being able to save your wife. It's a fixed storyline event that kicks off your journey in the post-apocalyptic world.

Additionally, the player character can ask Shaun to live with them and can send him to a number of locations, similar to a companion, although he is not able to be assigned to beds, like many other NPCs. He cannot be commanded to move throughout the settlement.

Secretly, Carla is an informant on runaway synths for the Synth Retention Bureau.

Can you have a baby in Fallout 4? ›

3) Player Pregnancy - If you have options for this enabled, the female player character can get pregnant during solicitation events as well as when sleeping with a romanced companion, via the Lover's Embrace perk. Conversely, male players can get their female romanced companions pregnant in the same way.

There is a 50/50 chance that the accused is actually a synth, but the only ways for the Sole Survivor to know for sure are to interrogate them (a hard dialogue check), see if they have increased Energy Resistance (Awareness required), or kill them and check their corpse for a synth component.

No, the Sole Survivor is not a synth. He is the “Sole Survivor”. That label in itself tells you that Nate/Nora is human, being the only fully human (Ghouls being 'evolved' or 'transmuted' humans) left in the world. Replacing the SS with a synth has no purpose, with no benefit to the Institute.

If one has joined the Brotherhood of Steel, the hard Charisma check to tell her "I'm not leaving" is instead replaced by the option to tell her that the player character is a member of the Brotherhood, and since she has admitted to being a synth it is their duty to purge her, turning her hostile.

The first potential canon outcome comes when players choose to side with The Minutemen – a choice which has several options, but one of them is to allow The Brotherhood of Steel and The Railroad to co-exist while destroying the sinister Institute. This means that in the show's timeline, The Prydwen would still exist.

Shaun was created at the behest of Father, the director of the Institute, and is a Gen 3 synth based on the real Shaun's DNA. Shaun is unable to age and will remain a child forever. Shaun was created not for any major research or scientific advancement, but simply on the whim of Father.

Her nature as a synth is verified by her guardian, Old Man Stockton.
