An affable 'tech collector', a few hundred caps and a smidge of patience would have gotten the Institute everything. Granted, it wouldn't have been what they'd hoped for, but also no-one would have even suspected their interest. On a list of bad ideas, what they did at University Point would probably be followed by 'Testing a light socket by sticking your tongue in it.'

Exactly! What is... lets say 900 caps, to the Institute? Its no chump change sure, but if it was the data they wanted it would have been worth it. Even the data it apparently was, it still probably be worth 900 caps. I'd pay 900 caps to be able to make any laser weapons have unlimited ammo.

Game By Game They probably are one of the few (if any) places that could manufacture a new bottle cap. Problem is though: if they manufactured a new bottlecap, it would look... well... new! Not like some 200 year old bottle cap thats been rusting away or whatever for 200 years. - It instantly be labeled as counterfeit.
@-DeScruff
@-DeScruff 7 лет назад
Game By Game That kind of weathering is not nearly the same as actual weathering... There are ways to tell fake weathering from real. Regardless If they seem to use Caps as currency as well, and if they started "printing" caps there would probably be mass inflation. - at least in the institute it's self.
@nicholascross3557
@nicholascross3557 7 лет назад
While the Institute doesn't have an internal economy per se, having agents like Kellog and several informants means they'd need caps to pay them. However, we also know they send out scavenger teams and I'd hazard a guess that there's a merchant somehere who gets a lot of his stock from them, who is also likely to be the one to which their informants inform. On a side note, they could even give their agent orders via the Classical music radio, using the playlist as a cypher system. WWII level tradecraft.

Didn't say that. However, the adults and those old enough to know the institute isn't a story are partially accountable as they didn't take control of the situation. If when scavenging it turned out that the tech was working and salvageable, why not just sell the machinery and move on. Only gonna attract danger by advertising that you are working on trying to uncover data, as the only ones who would be interested in the garbled account heard, are those who can take it by force (Insititute, BoS). Being angry at someone or some people cos they've brought down a terror that can wipe out a settlement without breaking a sweat and vanish again after isn't unreasonable. In their own nativity and lack of tempering Jaq's curiosity they've risked the lives of every settler there.

"Just a gun"? As you were already aware and explained, the UP77 never needs to be reloaded. It is a laser rifle prototype with limitless power.

It's not limitless, tho. It keeps eating away ammo, you just don't need to reload it manually. The only truly limitless weapon in the game is Aeternus, which basically is a cold fusion Gatling laser that requires one fusion core to kick it into gear and then will shoot indefinitely.

I remember reading through all this when I first got to University Point. I must have spent hours around there searching and just reading and looking everything.... by the time I had finished looking through all the terminals and all the stuff in the bank vault I had came pretty much to the point that I'd never want to side with the Institute. Also if you read through all the facility terminals you can get the password to that back door to the credit union. They use one of the graduate student birthdays which you can find in the student records. I did much later do an institute play-through; as soon as I "finished" I ditched the save. Kinda glad I was right about my suspicions.

@aftermathematics365
@aftermathematics365 7 лет назад
Dichotomy Certainly there! As far as I remember, the Institute made the synths as an intellectual challenge, according to Father. After that, those things began to have sentience and needed to be recaptured. The synths also scavange and to a certain extent provide the Institute with spy information. I say this by doing the SRB quests for Drs. Ayo and Secord. This is technically, no pun intended, easier than relying on cyborgs like Kellogg. As far as helping humanity, that's where it gets twisted. The Institute has no interest in cleaning up the Commonwealth, unless you as the Director cares by being a Minuteman General too. Father's goal and X6-88's banter indicate that the Institute needs to expand further underground and do experiments and such that only benefit the scientists and their families there. Having that pool of robots to work again minimizes the hazard to human workers and allows the scientists to continue their regular work. The worst that I can think that can happen to the Institute is for it to be taken over by synths. In one of my plays I'll have to be Brotherhood of Steel, as I find them quite cool. Cheers and look forward to further philosophical discussions on Fallout 4!

Tragically, she just a typical teenager. She's 16 with a single father and is excited at the idea of earning some money to buy herself some nice things. She's not a scientist and has no real education so she doesn't know not to make assumptions with data or skew the facts to fit her theory so when she found something interesting and valuable her imagination and youthful optimism ran away with her. Teenagers are prone to drama and fantasies of perfect case scenarios. It's just unfortunate that Kellog is the pyscho he is.

In fairness I think the institutes usual MO when acquiring new talent (thats scientists, not infiltrators) is to ask first, kidnap if they say no, and replace the people taken with a synth without the other townsfolk even knowing. If loose ends exist they'll kill them, but they don't usually go around actively destroying towns. In this case, it seems the girl wasn't viewed as worth taking (either because they didn't know she was the one who gained the data or they knew and didn't care anyway), and Kellog wasn't in the mood to be tactful.

I do not believe for a moment that kellog was their only agent. It was at such a time I'd contend they could have made a synth just for the sole purpose of aquiring tech and leads. At the end of the day this was a deliberate action sending kellog as it is clear over all of their history the institute has no love for the people above.

Anyone know if you visit University point before catching up with Kellog or getting access to the Institute if theres any conversations choices with Kellog/Shaun about university point? Also given the fact that the Insititute uses the Bunker hill traders as informers presumably the unamed Male trader Jacquline told ran off and told his Insititue masters whats she found. Presumably the Institute killed this male trader as the SE Terrirtory now belongs to Cricket (Female)

@raychelgonos224
@raychelgonos224 3 года назад
The fact that the Institute murdered so many people on the ASSUMPTION alone that the data was from a reactor just gives me another reason to hate them with every fiber of my being. Jacqueline thought that everything was her fault. If Kellogg would’ve given them another day, considering how close she was, then maybe they would have survived. Maybe the Sole Survivor could’ve met the Spencers and the other families of University Point. But no. The Institute just had to have what they wanted as soon as possible. Even if that meant not giving the people enough time to give it to them. I do appreciate, though, the fact that the Institute never found the gun or the rest of the data. They wanted a teenager to find it in two days and couldn’t even find it themselves (with help from synths and at least one cybernetic human aka Kellogg) after two years. I really hope Leslie and Curtis lived happy lives after they left the lab. This location needs at least one happy ending.

Lexx is correct, they were working on lasers as a form of containment to hold a fusion reaction more efficiently but could not get the beams narrow enough to effectively work in that way, they did however unintentionally create a new kind of weapon and since the professor wasn't there they went with that. It's not just Jacq that thinks it is fusion, the very last terminal - the one beside the laser states how Leslie and Curtis couldn't make the laser do what they wanted but did manage to narrow the beam sufficiently that it blew holes in stuff. People have all kinds of lore surrounding Leslie and Curtis but what they forget is that they were likely the mother and father of the laser, the one they took with them is likely the one that led to the creation of all others.

So Jacqueline DID read the data correctly, the problem is the project couldn't achieve that goal.

After thinking about the timeline described in the tapes, one has to wonder how the institute found out about the supposed data so quickly. From the recording of the council meeting it sounded like less than a week passed between the merchant being approached by Jacqueline. For the institute to find out about the data quickly enough for Kellog to get to the town that quickly this would be an indication that the merchant informed the Institute and was possibly a synth replacement.
@dizzyroseblade
@dizzyroseblade Год назад
One of those notes on the terminal in the research area actually *does* mention "reactor containment" - it could be that either the research began with relation to reactors or reactors were initially part of the conversation before the military contract began, it would make sense in either of those cases for Jacqueline to have seen the word "reactor" mentioned somewhere in relation to the project (rather than us assuming that she just jumped the gun and guessed at it being related to reactors). It's even vaguely possible that the Institutes could have used that research and benefited from it - if a couple college kids could figure out how to make a laser weapon that never needs reloaded with their research, I feel like a giant fully stocked facility filled with supposed scientific geniuses should be able to take that research and do *something* more impressive and bigger with it.
