So, what will the protagonist be?
A human popsicle, frozen in the Vault and thawed out 250 years later?
Or an android with fake memories, a replica of the original gruff brunette ex-military family-guy from before the War?
Or will he/she be something completely different?

You decide! Poll now to get a preorder bonus of bugs, glitches and crashes!
 
Could be C: He/she overdosed with sugarbombs and nuka cola and went into a 250 year old coma.

But with Emil as a writer it could be worse like a sleeping beauty story, only instead of getting a kiss from a prince your alarm clock finally goes off.

I say popsicle, the achievements imply you do meet your kid at one point in the game so the prewar memories can't be fake.
 
I hope to God they wouldn't do something so monumentally stupid as force the player into being an android. Now, if you had the option to gain a robot body/augment yourself with future technology as a reward for working for the Brotherhood/Institute, that might be a neat incentive for faction affiliation, but forcing that would really prevent me from enjoying the game.

They aren't fake, but maybe the memories of being frozen are fake or something like that.
 
How could someone not know they're an android for like 200 years or something? You would figure it out somehow right?
 
They wouldn't have lived 200 years, they would just think they are a prewar person because they have their memories.
 
Sure they can accept that they're not human but shouldn't it be made apparent to the player? That's why this twist just seems that much dumber.
 
I say he/she was an experiment and became a half human half android hybrid during the 200 year time period with memories of the experiment erased from their memory.

Eh, they also pulled the "giant humanoid thing at the end of the game" three times in a row.

Who was the giant humanoid in Skyrim? That Heimdall archetype guarding the bridge to Valhalla, or whatever it was called? Honestly I don't remember much about the game as I found it a chore to finish.

Anyway, my vote goes to a popsicle protagonist as it seems to be the most likely given the evidence so far. I would hope Beth doesn't do anything as stupidly predictable as making the PC an android but Christ, who knows with them?

Nothing in Skyrim, really, that's why it was only three games in a row.
Morrowind had Akulakhan, Oblivion had Mehrunes Dagon, Fallout 3 had Optimus, uh, Liberty Prime.
 
Ah OK... Morrowind. Never played it, but I hear good things.

Anyway, they clearly have an established track record of going back to the same well, hence why we're stuck with yet another vault dweller protagonist roaming the wastes looking for missing persons.
