Shaun doesn't really look like me or the mother beyond the Skin color, they also made the same trick or mistake they made with James in FO3 of giving him a beard and thus just making him look basically the same as other Shauns I've seen on videos. Synth boy Shaun kept my Red hair from the beginning despite me changing it so that's kind of neat. But he still doesn't really look like me. Which is disappointing because I wanted to see him fat and with a double chin.
The institute was working with FEV so they made the Super Mutants of the Commonwealth. So yeah, now everybody and their mother will have strains of FEV it seems. The cure is experimental and the dude told me to wait a week to see the results so we'll see how facepalm worthy it is.
I was able to kill Father on the first meeting so that's interesting, wonder what would've changed if I kept going. I stored a save just for that later.
I started the BOS and Minutemen End paths, because the Railroad are lame.
All quests have repeating kill quests for you to farm Exp. I was even told to clear Corvega's factory again, the Brotherhood has some "convince farm to gives food" quests... but both sent me to the same farm so those are obviously also to farm exp.
I have no idea how to set up Trade routes and I took both Local Leader perks.... Game doesn't even give you a hint on how to do it, so I might need to check a guide for that later.
That's it for today.
