  • Like many video game protagonists, Fallout 4’s Sole Survivor manages to shape the world around them. The fate of the entire Commonwealth is left in their hands. But what would have happened if the Sole Survivor died in Vault 111?

    What if The Sole Survivor Died in Vault 111? (in text form)
    Several events still play out the same way if the Sole Survivor becomes an expired popsicle in Vault 111. Some residents of Sanctuary Hills still make it to Vault 111. Kellogg still gets inside the vault, kills your spouse, and kidnaps Shaun. Whether Kellogg just decides to kill the Sole Survivor too or he just never makes it out of the cryopod is irrelevant. Either way, the Sole Survivor dies.
    The Institute synths are created, perfected even, and rumors and speculation run amok all over the Wasteland. With no Sole Survivor to help them, the Minute Men suffer heavy casualties in Lexington at the hands of the raiders. Even if they’re not completely wiped out, they won’t have a place to call home. Maybe the few who made it out of Concord head to Sanctuary. They don’t have the numbers to really make it a place worth living in. It’s only a matter of time before the Minute Men become nothing more than wasteland myth.
    The Railroad continue to rescue synths as best they can. Without the help of the Sole Survivor, it seems unlikely that they would be able to get Carrington’s prototype from the Switchboard, as it was viewed as a risky mission even with the Survivor’s help. The biggest thing they have going for them is their secrecy. They operate in private, but not at the same scale as the other two remaining factions. Secrecy isn’t enough, though. When the Survivor finds them, they had just lost the Switchboard, their high-tec headquarters. They’re living in the basement of an abandoned church. They’ve lost safe houses. Every day is another defeat. Eventually those add up, and the Railroad fades away.
    The Brotherhood of Steel arrive in the Commonwealth to deal with the Institute, synths, and mutants without the Sole Survivor. Ignoring the Institute for a moment, the Brotherhood wouldn’t really change that much. The Sole Survivor was just a Paladin for a while. They can still get things done. They can take out the Super Mutant Behemoth on the island near the Prydwen. They can secure the nukes. They can send initiates out to get a steady supply of food from local settlements. Where things change is with their war against the Institute. No Sole Survivor means they can’t get insider information about them, they have a much harder time getting Liberty Prime operational again, if they can at all.
    Now, there’s the Institute. They were the dominant force in the Commonwealth before the Sole Survivor, and they will continue to be without him, or her. Kellogg never has to die at the Survivor’s hands. The Institute, despite Father not being fond of Kellogg, uses him to get things done. There’s nothing that the Institute really needed the Sole Survivor for, he merely took Kellogg’s place.
    Who claims the Commonwealth really comes down to one thing, who gets the beryllium agitator first, the Brotherhood of Steel or the Institute. It is essential for getting Liberty Prime operational again, but it’s just a helpful advantage to the Institute. Between the Coursers and Kellogg, there’s no way the Institute doesn’t get it first.
    Without the Sole Survivor, The Minute Men fade away. The Railroad, now going up against a more powerful Institute, face ever increasing resistance when trying to rescue synths. The Brotherhood fail in their campaign to “purify” the Commonwealth. The Institute takes control of the Commonwealth.
    That’s looking at the big picture, but there are smaller stories being told. Like the companions. No Sole Survivor changes things for all of them.
    Codsworth: Codsworth lives his life assuming his owners were killed, which they were. He’ll do what he did before the Sole Survivor found him post-war, which is just surviving. He traveled to Concord once, maybe he’ll explore what remains of the Commonwealth until he’s killed or he begins to break down.
    Piper: When we first meet Piper she had been locked out of Diamond City. With no Sole Survivor to vouch for her, she’ll likely find another way back into the city.

And with Subversion, you have more options for how to complete the game, like convincing the Institute/Brotherhood to leave the Railroad alone, or occupying the Institute with the Minutemen and forcing them to change their ways.

    In my opinion, what happens is that the minutemen die obviously, either to raiders or the deathclaw, then the sole survivor doesnt help out at cambridge and Danse dies against synths at ArcJet and thus the cambridge group cannot contact the BoS, and the prydwen decides to halt their movements towards boston and the Institute loses their largest opponent and rises to enough power that they can take down the railroad and therefore they win.

      Nope, the BoS would be defeated eventually. The Institute has in theory infinite resources (if they get that Berillium thing for powering their nuclear reactor first, there's no more power problems and they can keep the Synths coming out in large numbers), so they could send large quantities of Synths to destroy the Prydwen even without the Sole Survivor. Without an inside guy, the Brotherhood doesn't know where exactly to strike with Liberty, even if they manage to finish it. So there's no coin toss, the Institute would eventually conquer the Commonwealth and drive the Brotherhood back, where it came from.

  • @dieudelamodestie
    @dieudelamodestie Před 5 lety +166

    Men, your video has really inspired me to write my own version of the what if
    The Minutemen:
    Preston sacrifice himself to let the other run away, Mama Murphy can't run so she rest there with Preston and the rest run to the Red Rocket, there, the group meet Dogmeat and inevitably they take refuge on Sanctuary. There Sturges seen as the new leader begin a friendly interaction with Codsworth and they start working together to rebuild Sanctuary. The minutemen aren't completely dead, but it would take decades before Sturges manage to make them revives.
    The railroad :
    On this part i agree with you and to be honest, that's the faction i was the less interested in.
    The Brotherood Of Steel :
    Paladin Danse not having your assistance in the ghoul attack wouldn't have changed much things, there would still be one of the soldier hurt and the other healing him. The change would occur when Danse would need to go to arc jet. There he needs an acolyte, but being a strong warrior, engaging a nobody for some caps would have done the job, he would have just had to wait a lot longer than previously, even at the point that he needs to wait the brotherhood reinforcements to do the mission.
    When the Brotherhood comes, all the quests until the Beryllium quest would be the same so let's jump to the next faction
    The Institute :
    Absolutely nothing changes until the Beryllium quest where Kellogg would be the one doing what you would do if you were alive. The battle at the building is fierce, but the brotherhood of steel is made for fighting so i would see them win and take the berrylium for them. Later, the brotherhood builds the Liberty prime but are attacked by the institute. Again, i think the brotherhood comes victorious here but at some heavy costs, meaning the death of many good soldiers such as Danse or Teagan (everyone remembers him ^^) and a partially destroyed Liberty Prime, but they can rebuild it with time. During this time, the institute starts doing guerilla and change random people into synths but their influence in the Commonwealth has reduced and the Brotherhood of steel becomes the Major. At some point they finish constructing the Liberty Prime BUT no sole survivor = no courser killed = no clue of the location of the institute.
    So the BoS has a giant robot wandering around the city but since they don't know the location, they can't attack.
    Slowly but surely, they take control of the whole Commonwealth, starting to purge the inhabitants by inspecting who is a synth and brutally execute them. The institute ends up with low battery and they can't keep producing synth, so they stop attacking the surface and inevitably, years later, they either rest beneath and die starving or go to the surface, surrender or try to live a discreet life. I would see Father resting beneath and the others scientist go to the surface and 2 or 3 of them joining the brotherhood in exchange of their technology.
    The Factions after the war :
    The railroad would pose absolutely no major threat to the Bos and the minutemen, led by Sturges, would accept to be assimilated to the BoS even if they started at this point to rally settlements which would help the BoS. Sturges ends up working with Ingram, and with his expertise and his courage and leadership, he ends up being a high ranked in the hierarchy.
    The Brotherhood would still be in a difficult position because they suffered a lot of casualties and had to deal with the raiders and super mutants, but there would be two major problem for them:
    The gunners and the automatrons.
    For the automatrons, The BoS would start to kill the robots before interrogating them, and wouldn’t bother to see which of them is good or evil, so ADA gets murdered. Without her help, they would take a lot more time to undercover the location of the mechanist, and when they do, they just use Liberty Prime to nuke the place, leaving no chance to the mechanist.
    Now for the gunners, I need to talk about Mac Cready.
    Mac Cready is a badass, let’s face it, so even if he would be to go suicidal against the boss of the gunners, I can’t see him at least not take that boss with him before dying.
    But with no sole survivor, he would continue doing his mercenary jobs. For a time. His thirst for revenge is strong and inevitably he will one day face the boss of the gunner. Plus he is a good sniper. So he kill the boss and start killing regularly each gunner head that goes a little too high. By doing that, he installs a tenacious fear within them and gunners being kind of raiders, they acknowledge strength and inevitably surrender to him and ask that he become their new leader.
    Having nothing more behind him, he accepts and under his lead, the gunners become much more powerful.
    The domination of the Brotherhood of steel:
    Being the dominant on the region, they start applying their poilitics and purge every synths from the citizen and destroy all robots.
    Sturges, when he receives the invitation to join the BoS start changing the programming of Codsworth and send him to the Far Harbor where people heard that there were a refuge for synths and robots.
    But Codsworth is not the only one going there. Some survivors from the railroad, and institute synths took also refuge, so we could see a team with x6-88, Codsworth and Desdemona. With the big amount of robotic refugees, the robot faction on Far Harbor becomes the Major one and the extremists humans and children of atoms gets wiped out.
    For the Gunners, Mac Cready would retreat to the west where he heard of a location called Nuka World. Leading a small group of gunner survivors with him, they start a revolt during the travel and Mac Cready barely gets out alive. He continues alone until he reaches Nuka World.
    There, he would have an exact story as the one from the sole survivor:
    Take the lead of the three raider groups, start restoring the energy on the park, ignore the enslaved merchants when they propose to overthrow the raider leadership, help Sierra Petrovita to find the hidden cappys and accept the proposition of the old head when he ask for death, so he can gain access to nuka nukes, start friendship with the Tarzan like men, gain access to the X-01 Power armor, and finally when he has to choose between the factions, he chooses to let the disciples behind. He then starts ruling the whole Nuka World with his iron hand and live peaceful days. But with his experience with the raiders, he knows that letting two groups like the pack and the operators coexist will inevitably bring a conflict, so he start a night of long knives and assassinates the whole pack gang.
    In Diamond City, the guards are enlisted as soldiers for the BoS and Piper finish her investigations against the mayor, founding clues of his synth nature. After denouncing him to the BoS, she continues to live on a normal life with her sister and the secretary becomes the mayor accepting the rules of the BoS.
    Just like in the video, Cait ends up her life shortly taking too much drugs and fighting opponents she would one day lose to.
    For Curie, she would inevitably one day be rescued from her vault, may it be by another guy from the vault or a BoS soldier. In the first case, she would have gone to the synth refuge on Far Harbor and on the second, she would have been destroyed.
    For Nick Valentine, he would be locked on his cell for years, but would have survived since he is a synth. But the one opening his cell would be a BoS soldier, so he wouldn’t survive.
    And finally, Hancock would also take refuge on Far Harbor, but not siding with the robots, instead living with the humans and ultimately own his terrain and live a peaceful life.
    Before ending the what if, there is one story I would like to explore: The Cabot Family.
    So with no sole survivor, there would be nobody to stop papa Cabot to be released from his cell and he would inevitably do his family reunion. Since to trigger that quest, you needed to talk to their ghoul soldier who was looking for a mercenary, it would be most probable that he would recruit a small fry who could do at best retrieving the daughter Cabot but be killed while trying to stop the escape from papa Cabot. With no one to help the ghoul soldier, he would die and during the family reunion, Papa Cabot would massacre his family.
    And now we have an immortal with 400 + years living peacefully in his mansion until someone from the BoS comes to his house and see him.
    And this is where it becomes interesting. Either the BoS start fighting him because they discover he is someone from the past and has super power, in that case they would lose until they bring Liberty Prime. Or they ask him to join them with their forces and he would accept. Or he would only give them time to time his serum wich means that Maxson becomes immortal too. Or he would simply never reveal himself to the world, but I don’t see that happening giving his personality. Or, finally, and I think it is the most probable, he starts traveling around the world to see how much it changed and to taste his awaited freedom.
    And this is it, that’s how I imagine what if the sole survivor died from the beginning.
    If there is anybody who did read it all, feel free to comment on what you think about the story.

      under normal circumstances he only asks about 4 times - until you can reclaim the castle (if you don't do it immidiately, he might ask for some more help). if you establish enough settlements on your own, he even only asks once (usually tenpines bluff).
      actually others (like some of the BoS-guys or the railroad) ask you _way more often_ to do random shit again and again. and the whole concept of radiant quests did already exist in skyrim for the 'four guilds' - and still there is no meme regarding these NPCs. so, in fact the whole preston-meme doesn't make any sense at all, and was just a way to express resentment for FPS-gamers, who didn't like settlements and only wanted to kill stuff.

The settlements still somehow need help even if you set up laser and rocket turrets... How the heck are they having raider problems!?
      And the BOS and railroad don't ask you to do random stuff more - those are optional quests, you can choose to take them, and I believe at least one of the railroad ones can only be repeated 10 or 11 times - preston gives them to you whether you like it or not. Even if you finish a quest and hand it in to him, more often than not he'll give you another one straight away. Same thing for skyrim - those were optional, some of them even required to progress in the thieves guild, while preston's are just annoying and useless.
      He also continues giving you those quests after you reclaim the castle. And probably after you destroy the institute too, but that's when I stopped, so I can't be sure.

    • @cdromXXXX
      @cdromXXXX Před 5 lety +72

      They were outnumbered 4 - 1 with a Deathclaw about to appear. It is possible that the door holds against the raiders until the Deathclaw shows up. If he is lucky he could lead them to the roof of the church next door, If i recall correctly it was unguarded. Although I am sure Mama Murphy could not make the jump and anyone who attempted to help would surely fall. In that case I would say based on how I read Preston it is possible they escape without Mama Murphy based on being able to save the majority he would hate to leave her but he would have little choice. They would not go to Sanctuary because if Mama Murphy was caught it is likely that any surviving raiders would know that's where they went. Assuming with Preston and the others escape and Mama Murphy is left behind and the raiders are in disarray from the Deathclaw (I doubt they could kill it themselves) the only surviving raiders would be the ones who were in the museum of Freedom at the time who wouldn't know about the Deathclaw and likely break into the room and capture or kill Mama Murphy and when they come out if they are lucky they sneak off either with her and go back to Corvega or kill her and go their separate ways. Based on how many survive the trip to Tenpines Bluff (if they make it at all.) I think Preston would give up and die with the rest of them. The road from Concord leads directly passed Bedford Station and the ghouls that are there possibly losing more people before finally making it to Tenpines or dying on the way. I can't imagine much left of the man Preston was when we met him having to leave Mama Murphy and even more losses likely the Longs and maybe Sturges if things go really badly. Preston said he was about ready to die in concord in one of the support conversations so, if he doesn't die there he dies on the way. That whole area is swarming with Ghouls, with the Skylines crash site, the graveyard and the raiders at Outpost Zimonja even if Preston made it there they would be swallowed up eventually by either the raiders or ghouls or hes forced to watch more people die that he failed to save until he is finally killed.

      Zeta-Zero01 depends on how severe the deathclaws are. And how strategical the raiders. Preston himself is a great fighter. And pretty good survivalist. If preston and the group could make a plan they and if the raiders have poor tact or rush out the doors they could take the raiders.

An infinite army of Synths, if they get to the Mass Fusion building first and get their hands on the Berillium thing, they can then power up the nuclear reactor, which eliminates their energy problems once and for all (Phase 3). From that moment they can do whatever they want, teleport Synths anywhere, large armies of Synths actually, they produce them quite fast. Kellogg might not be as effective as the Sole Survivor, but he's enhanced, he's definitely stronger, faster than ordinary humans and is quite versatile as a mercenary.

    1. Danse likely find himself on the front lines fighting the institute when a courser finds him and shuts him down. I mean let's face it, Danse just seems like he will eventrually be too much of a problem for the institute to ignore.
    2. When we meet McCreedy he should be pretty desperate, but he doesn't show it and instead he operates, business as usual while employed by the Soul Survivor. While it is likely for McCreedy to die at the hands of the Gunners or Raiders in his line of work I suspect that it is just as likely that he finds a way to survive because despite the odds he manages to keep a cool head.
    3. The Institutes capabilities are scary but they seem to have a resource issue since they are so isolated. Their resource issue likely means that in a head to head fight they will probably be overwhelmed by the BOS. I think that the BOS is the cat and the institute is the mouse in almost every scenario.
    Let's not forget that the Institute scientists are just as likely to kill each other as they are to take over the Commonwealth.

    Is dogmeat a synth ? Thats why he looks so neat for a dog (you saw what happend to the other dogs) and that would explain why father knew were the player was all the time and its not uncommen for there to be synth animales seeing that they have a bio division so I ask..is dogmeat a synth?

    • @Croftice1

      @fallout freak The Synth component doesn't prove anything, there are a couple of confirmed Synths, that when killed don't drop it, like Glory, she is definitely a Synth, but won't drop a Synth component, Roger Warwick is another one (not sure about Sturges and Danse, they are Synths, but don't know if they drop or don't drop the component).

    • @Croftice1
      @Croftice1 Před 3 lety

      I don't think that Dogmeat is a Synth, they use synthetic crows, but that's birds, they still experiment with mammals, there are those two gorillas in the Bioscience, but they aren't finished and Dogmeat is way perfect for being a finished project, so he has to be a real dog. There's also the Synth Shaun, who's also still a prototype. So again, Dogmeat is a real dog.
      And how Father/Shaun knew about the Sole Survivor?
      First of, it was him, who released them from the cryo pod, upon becoming the director, Shaun had access to all the files the previous directors left, he also saw a video recordings from the Vault, when Kellogg kidnapped him as an infant and shot the Sole Survivor's spouse.
      And secondly, crows again, as they are the main surveillance of the Institute, as the director, Shaun had access to, or at least reports from their sightings. There's an entry on his personal terminal in his quarters, that Shaun wrote about hearing from Justin Ayo (the head of the Synth Retention Bureau) about sightings of the Sole Survivor leaving the Vault. So yea. Shaun was updated on the Sole Survivor's progress whenever possible.

    Its hinted that the soul survivor could be a synth. That is one idea I really like and considering how often they hint at it.. It makes me wonder if the sole survivor is. Of course we will never get a real answer but it would be nice.
    As for "If sol survivor never made it out" as you put it. I feel you are correct in the fact that in the overall thing, a lot of things would still happen. However there will be a lot of people who you would have been there to help would have died due to you never being there. About the only one that would not be effected in a bad way out of the companions is the Institute guy lol.
    Of course this is also not talking about the other things you could do in the game. Other people you could have encountered and helped. ( or not.. ) Heck other survivors out there.. Just regular people who you help make settlements for and set them up to be more protected.. You also have the ghoul settlement as well that would have been wiped out if you did not save it. ( assuming you did of course in your game :P )

      kydex The others in the Institute where already upset with him making a child synth modeled after himself. If he left info that he made his Father they would have made sure he would not be able to do anything again there. So he would keep it secret from the others. There are several points that hints that the main character could be a synth. One involves a DLC where its constantly hinted at the possibility of it. There is also a few things that get said by "Father" as well as his henchmen that you killed. Not to mention a few other things.
      Spam Spam They only found out when they got the list of some of the names of synths out in the wastes. Otherwise they never would have found out.

  • @justin2308

    Actually, I saw someone somewhere about Skyrim theorize that game suffers from a sort of warp in the west like Daggerfall did where all of the storylines would play out the same except for the main quest and civil war quest (because the Dragonborn still needs the Elder Scroll and Dragonrend. (In fact, in some versions, people theorize that the peace treaty an an alliance between the Empire and the Stormcloaks lead to Dragonrend being discovered anyway and Ulfric (not my own theory) being offered the position of High King and Skyrim’s Independence IF he will still ally himself closely to the Empire (pretending Skyrim’s still a part of it) for a fight against the Aldmeri Dominion.
    This game is closer to real life, though, and thus can’t suffer a warp, so this entire video makes sense: The only way for the Brotherhood to have Liberty Prime, the Railway to make any more progress and enter the Switchboard, the Institute to be destroyed, AND the Minutemen to come back via Preston and the remaining leadership is for the Sole Survivor to play a part in all of them and (to keep most of them alive) end the game with the Minutemen to create a three-way peace ending. The Sole Survivor NEEDS to actively put his foot in and help. The only non-player act is the Brotherhood of Steel arriving, which puts them closer, but they actually might not be able to even send a spy into the Institute to find Doctor Li. In fact, knowing them well, Dr. Li might actually help the Institute come up with a way to destroy them and the Prydwen before they can.
    Honestly, while Obsidian made it obvious that the canon ending to New Vegas could be either one of two Independent Vegas and the NCR ending, Bethesda did not really give themselves a good what-if scenario here because of how much the player’s influence actually matters: Which ending is canon is going to be more difficult for them to decide if they ever choose to make a Fallout 5.

    • @silas8772
      @silas8772 Před 3 lety

      I'd guess the canon ending is the Minutemen ending since they're the first faction you encounter, have pretty neutral goals for the Fallout series, and are basically the entire Settlements mechanic. Plus all the other factions (except the Institute, at least) are golden.

    The sole survivor *did* die in the vault. Your character is a Gen. 3 synth with the V.A.T.S. chip installed. You find out the truth on terminal 2C in the Advanced Systems room in the Institute... The experiment was, "Would a synth act the same as a real person who believed their child was taken?" That's why Father programs synth-Shaun to believe he's your son; because he is, you're both synths. 😅

    • @dakotaperalta1302
      @dakotaperalta1302 Před rokem

      Nonsense. But I'll read terminal 2C next time I'm there just to confirm. The sole survivor has a litany of perks that prove they are lifelike or at least no ordinary synth in development. The majority of the newer synths are indeed immune to radiation. You are not unless you unlock that skill with hard work. Synths do not require sleep and cannot become ghoulish. If you played fallout 4 in survival mode you'd know that needing sleep is very real and ghoulish is one of the strongest perks in the game. Your character can do things like heal in the sunlight and even learn to heal in gamma radiation. The sole survivor could be a synth but it wouldn't be any ordinary synth we see in game. The institute would have to use tech we've never seen before. I believe the sole survivor is alive, human, and has much more potential because of it rather then a fixed potential. The sole survivor could kill countless coursers like how many 4th graders you could beat up at once in waves.
      to really wrap this all up that the SS is NOT a synth when the brotherhood finds a file from the mainframe that states everyone who has ever became a synth. They find Danse's name because I'm positive you'd check your high ranking officers first which included the SS at the time but they never mentioned you. They would've had you exhiled and assassinated (If even possible) if they ever found a morsel of dirt on you. They did not. I find it much more likely that dogmeat is a synth sent by the institute to have you survive long enough to get your bearings. The institute picked Shaun in the vault because they knew he was special. The SS is in the same way special and very capable in nature. And finally but yet the most compelling point to my spiel would be why the institute didn't just use the recall code on you. Or why aren't you going crazy like all your synth settlers do during synth attacks?
      SS is not a synth. Here's your copium.

  • @heartofthewild680
    @heartofthewild680 Před 3 lety +1

    Very nice, you got most of the base game characters I can think of, but there are still a few that you missed.
    1. The whole reason MacCready was in the commonwealth in the first place was to find a cure for his son, Duncan. Without the Sole Survivor’s help, he can’t get past the feral ghouls in the Med-tek research building, where the cure is. So little Duncan dies as well.
    2. Without the Sole Survivor to help him, Travis will never gain his confidence, so he’ll continue to have nervous breakdowns on the radio until he dies.
    3. In vault 81, Austin Engill will still get bitten by the infected mole rat. And without the Sole Survivor to get the cure, he will die.
    4. Speaking of Vault 81, Bobby De Luca will remain addicted to Jet, which will likely kill him.
    5. Billy will still be stuck in the fridge until someone or something less friendly than the Sole Survivor finds him. Since the minutemen are gone and there not much else in the area besides mirlurks, gunners, raiders, and super mutants, whoever or whatever finds Billy will likely either enslave or kill him.
    6. Without the Sole Survivor’s intervention, the raiders at the Corvega Assembly Plant will continue to menace nearby settlements.
    7. The raiders at the Federal Rations Stockpile, and Beantown Brewery will go to war with each other.
    8. The rabid raider boss at DB technical high school will try to kill the other raider fans in Boston until he either dies from his rabies, or gets killed by something he shouldn’t have picked a fight with.
    9. With no one to talk sense into him, Jake finch will either joined the Forged or die trying. Slag will keep the flaming sword regardless of Jake’s fate.
    10. The USS constitution will never be repaired without the Sole Survivor to fetch the parts for Ironsides. The robots and the scavengers will continue to fight and one side will eventually kill the other.
    There’s also the DLCs. The Contraptions and wasteland workshop DLCs have no story, so they can be ignored. Vault-Tec workshop is simple. Overseer Barstow and the other ghouls in vault 88 will remain there until they either starve to death, or until the raiders get in (which is highly unlikely, but possible. Skinny Malone did it with vault 114 and somehow managed to operate the doors, despite not appearing to have a pip-boy). Automatron is also simple. With no one to save her from the hostile robots, Ada will die along with the rest of her caravan. The mechanist will eventually catch the attention of the institute, who will track her down and most likely kill her. I don’t know enough about Far Harbor to say how it would be affected so I’m going to leave that alone for anyone who’s interested in teaching me something.
    So that just leaves Nuka-world.
    1. The parks of Nuka-World will never be cleared out. Dry Rock Gulch is infested with bloodworms, Galactic Zone’s robots are malfunctioning and attack anything that moves, Kiddie kingdom is blanketed by radioactive fog and guarded by an overly defensive glowing one magician who commands the feral ghouls in the area, the Nuka-Cola bottling plant has nukalurks and at least one nukalurk queen nesting in it, and the cloning facility in Safari Adventure is still spitting out gatorclaws.
    2. Cito is living in Safari Adventure and has to fight gatorclaws every day in order to keep his gorilla family safe, but he can’t do it forever. Eventually, he either dies fighting Gatorclaws, or leaves Safari Adventure and takes the gorillas with him. Either way, they are unlikely to survive.
    3. With no Sole Survivor to take over (or liberate) Nuka-World, the raider gangs there will eventually turn on their overboss Colter, his assistant Gage, and each other. The Traders in the Nuka-town market will be caught in the crossfire, and those that make if out of Nuka-town will have to seek refuge in the other parks, all of which are unsafe. They may be able to meet up with Cito and the gorillas in Safari Adventure, but it’s only a matter of time before the gatorclaws overwhelm them.
    4. Eventually whichever raider gang survives will start trying to take over the park. They might be able to clear Galactic Zone with brute force, and possibly even the bottling plant (I’m not sure, I’ve never cleared it before), but they’d probably have trouble with Kiddie Kingdom. But Kiddie Kingdom isn’t the one they’ll have the most problems with. Its established early on in Nuka-world’s raider quest line that most of the raiders can’t read, and while the few that can might be able to get the password for Mad Mulligan’s Mine so they can clear out Dry Rock Gulch, is unlikely they’ll be able to shut down Safari Adventure’s cloning facility, and since Cito is no longer killing the gatorclaws, they’ll eventually spread to the other parks. The raider might be able to hold them back for a while, but like Cito, they can’t do it forever.
    5. The gatorclaws will eventually leave Nuka-World. Since they can’t operate the monorail, they won’t immediately arrive in the commonwealth, but they will still spread. Someone might eventually be able to figure out where they came from and shut down cloning facility, but we don’t know if the gatorclaws can breed, which they may be able to do, as deathclaws are also genetically engineered and have been confirmed to produce fertile offspring. If the gatorclaws can reproduce, they will likely be able to compete with deathclaws and the two species may even eventually crossbreed (they’re both based on the Jackson’s chameleon, so it’s not completely impossible for them to both have the same number of chromosomes).

    There's a pretty popular theory that says he actually did. Like after Shaun was used. The Sole Survivor was a loose end so the institute killed him. But Shaun eventually got curious about his parents do he made a gen 3 synth of one of them. Gave them all of the original sole Survivors memories making him/her think there human. And Shaun was curious to see how his parent would act. So he releases the synt from cryostasis. The rest is history.
