Knowing the series they will probably hint strongly we are a Synth even giving us outright clues...

Then have a developer chime in and say "No, he was never a Synth"

The fallout series is very schizo-tech, so really, it's not something to worry about too clearly.

That's because we need to get to 200 pages before release. That said, are the Mede emperor dragonborn/dragonblood? Because they only appeared after the dragonfires stopped being relevant to the coronation (thanks to Martin).
They definitely aren't, that's why the blades stopped being a thing.

My understanding was that they were Dragonborn, but there weren't any dragons, so they couldn't really demonstrate it, aside from the Amulet of Kings only being wearable and working for Dragonborn. (The pact with Alessia was made when she was dying, so changing her blood to make her a dragonborn at that point couldn't have affected any children she would have already had. Plus apparently it contains her soul or something, says a wiki.)

I haven't heard that part about Alessia but her descendants clearly were capable of wearing the amulet of kings and all that. I don't think it makes any sense to say that the unimportant emperors were dragonborn but couldn't demonstrate it. That would mean having several simultaneous dragonborns vying for inheritance. Makes way more sense to say that being the descendant of a dragonborn is what the blood of the dragon means in terms of the amulet of kings stuff. So you needed to be a descendant of a dragonborn to light the dragonfires. After Oblivion the medes weren't so the dragonfires eventually went out.

Calling it now the dog is a synthoid!

And that actually makes a LOT of sense when you think about it.

Can I tell a personal story?
When I was a kid I wanted a puppy really bad when I was around 10. Feeling isolated, parents divorced, I'd never complain so no one would feel my sadness and all that. So I just wanted a puppy to play with. I had one once, but then some fucker stole it (is that how it's called when someone STEALS your god damn pet?)

Then, my brilliant father went ahead and told me he was going to get me one, a month before my birthday. I never felt so much hype in my life. This time I'd keep an eye on him. It was going to be all good again.
My birthday comes. My dad gives me a big box. No movement. Is the puppy dead? My father looks at me expecting to see a big smile.
I open the box, and it's a toy dog. You know, these robotic dog toys from the 90's that responded when you'd pet them, sing songs and try to face you when they hear your voice/noise?

Calling it right now: this game is about my life.
You expect a box of happiness and you get a SYNTHETIC TOY. Fuck you Bethesda.

PS: It does make sense but it doesn't, at the same time. The movements are too perfect. "We have the technology" would be an insanely lame excuse to justify making the dog a bot.

There was an interesting secret synth in Fallout 3.  From the Institute, even.  Pretty sure they weren't in FO 1 or 2, and I was a bit surprised at how human-like he was.  Particularly since I don't think Fallout has transistors, just vacuum tubes, which is why a lot of tech is so bulky.

But hey...  maybe MIT does have transistors.

I'm not sure if it was actually possible for them to drop more hints than they did, TBH.

I open my heart and tell a sad story, and people immediately start talking about entities from other dimensions impregnating random women.

Fallout 4 needs to be released to purify this Earth.

On the topic of the story: I doubt doge will be synthdoge. Bethesda AI is all-natural stupid.

Thank you for acknowledging my feelings, King of the Skies which are Starry.

On the topic of the story: I doubt doge will be synthdoge. Bethesda AI is all-natural stupid.

But come on, isn't there any evidence of improvements to the AI?
I mean, didn't you hear when Howard said the NPCs weren't scripted? Or was that about Oblivion? [Okay, I might be pushing this joke too hard since it's a reference to that video someone (maybe you) linked a few pages ago]

I just hope it isn't Dogmeat AI from FO3 level of bad. He seemed incredibly broken to me most of the time.

Today I was wondering if the new perks could affect dialog choices. Like Lady Killer and a few others. Specifically, Attack Dog.
It has 3 ranks: Enables Dogmeat to hold enemy ; Grants chance to cripple limb ; Grants chance to inflict bleeding on enemy.
So if Dogmeat was really smart, and some NPC decides to run from you, the perk would work as a "discipline-level" for Dogmeat - making him useful in quest-related things.

Also, beware Fallout 4 perk page has spoilers regarding companion names. I didn't notice that before when I linked it - that sort of stuff I don't wanna know.
