> Actually, it did kind of bother me that, when it’s revealed that your kid wanted you to inherit the Institute, you can’t just be all, “Deal! New rules, everybody! Synths have the same rights as humans, and we’re sharing our super tech with everyone in the wasteland. Oh, also, I’m an unkillable murder machine, so anyone who wants to object to this new direction I’m taking us in, _feel free to share!_”

Yep. My spoiler-boxed bit above is along the same lines, though I extend it to _all_ the factions: “Nice ship you have there. Convenient location, too–my whole artillery battalion can target it, if you don’t suddenly remember that your _whole purpose_ is to prevent exactly what you’re trying to do now.” “I agree with your ideals. Your methods are stupid, though, so we’re going to do this my way, or I will cave your underground base in on your thick little skulls.” “You put me in charge. That means I’m in charge. Here are your orders.”
