Brotherhood Of Steel Ending Question about Shaun(Beware Spoilers)

[jm]

Not explaining the entire ending, and rarely will at all.
But please beware this discussion may have spoilers.




At the end of the main story, when you're destroying the Institute and have already charged the reactor, you see Shaun as a kid.
Clearly he is a synth, as Father is your real son as time consumed him to look like that and he's getting ready to be blown up along with the rest of the Institute.
You have the choice to either stick it to him, tell him he's not your son and leave him to die, or even not confirm you're his father but still take him with you/save him. He says he won't bother you and he'll stay out of your way, but out of curiosity, do you ever see him again if you choose to let him live and come with you after you blow up the Institute and if so where?

Yea ya do, if your with the brotherhood he goes back to the Prydwen. Go up the ladder and he'll be behind you when you get up there.

Can you make him come to a settlement with you?

Yes! I just talked to him yesterday, and he gives you a holotape from Father. Then you get to choose a settlement for him to go to, idk if you can change it or not later on, but I chose Sanctuary Hills and he will ask for parts saying that he can build stuff. I haven't gave him anything yet, but it's interesting and i'm sure you can look it up for more.

Late post and im sure most people know already, but if you dont, when you give him stuff, and wait a day or so, when you come back he will ask for something else and then give you an item. Its worth it. He has given me useful mods, legendary weapons, and one of my favorites, The "Wazer Wifle" which is a laser rifle that never reloads. You give him junk, he gives you good stuff. I like to think of him not as the synth, but as the actual son you lost. Father didn't seem like my son, He was more brainwashed than anything, and im sure it explains itself on why i believe that.

[Charles Snippy]

I let him blow up. kinda regret it b/c of him able to build stuff out of junk.

[Andromalius]

There's a funny bug with one of his lines referring to you as "dad" even if you're a female.

[vin]

I regret letting him live. You cant kill him again...

[CaptainSarcastic]

He mostly just crafts mods, but I don't mind having him around. He just hangs out and doesn't have the annoying dialogue prompts that a lot of NPCs do.

Actually he calls me "Mum", and he makes weapon mods if you get him odd bits of junk, he'll tell you what he want.

[Shahadem]

You have to kill the child synth. Obvious sleeper agent is obvious.

See, I totally disregarded the story for the sake of character
My character is a continuation of my character from Fallout 3, who went north in search of Madison Li, to assassinate her. (Long story as to why)
so when this kid was like "dog I'm your son"
i'm like "no you aren't idiot."

And just left him.

but I want the rifle!!! UGH what to do...

To those of you wondering how I made the story work, I did far harbor with Nick before the main quest, so I convinced myself that Nick met the REAL sole survivor, who died in some... yao quai attack or some ♥♥♥♥, and asked me to help him find this newly orphaned child.
I'll probably let him die, because my character rolls like that, and just spawn in the rifle myself

Did you really just necro a post from over half a year ago to tell us you roleplay?
