I have been mulling over how the player character is alive before the Great War, and emerges from the Vault 200 years later in the Boston Wasteland. Well, we know from playing FO3 that Boston is the home of The Institute (MIT I am sure). Those of us who have visited Rivet City's Science Lab know that The Institute had an android go rogue, and even go so far as to do a mind-wipe on himself, so that in the end he didn't even know he was a robot.

So 200+ year old character. The player character being an android would explain that. Either because the character's mind was downloaded into a synthetic body in the vault, or perhaps the character was a synth to begin with. Given what we have seen in FO3, they might well not even know they are an android.

Of course this is probably too cool for Bethesda to do. So I am guessing they go the suspended animation route to explain the character still being alive after 200 years.

They've always dabbled in Cryogenics, that is my guess for how the 200 year time slip happens. I'm still betting that you leave the vault and search for your baby, lol.

This was something McWife was wondering...Why make such a thing about the wife and baby (who they've managed to get to look like a cross between the male and female that you create) if they're then going to ignore them after the first half-hour or however long the initial crawl is?...

I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes, but I think I'm going to wait to play it until the initial kinks are sorted out...

We'll have the guide book, of course... ...So I'll be pouring over that for a good while before playing...Much like I was with New Vegas...

Also, this being roughly contemporary with the others, I can't use Arnaud, so I'm having to think of someone new!!...Urgh!!...Braaaainnnn!!... ...

So.... you should be playing in about 2030 or so?
