I just figured that the reason you never see your mother in the opening of the game is so she could be assumed to be whatever race you were. That way Daddy Liam could be the same race all the time regardless of what you pick.
They actually did build the Lone Wanderer's mother into the game. She even has a S.P.E.C.I.A.L configuration. But they must have decided to pull her at the last minute. Too bad, because she reminds me of my own mother!
Check her out!
