    The way he asks it what makes people think the sole survivor is a synth.

    He basically is like “Isn’t it weird that your memories only start right before the bomb dropped?” A synths memories would be like that with holes or nothing before a certain point. A real human would have memories from before the bombs dropping. You have to keep in mind that DiMA is a manipulative son of a bitch, you can’t believe a word he says.

    The sole survivor is definitely a human. If he wasn’t than any ending where you go against the Institute would just have the Institute using a shutdown code on you like you do to the synth on Libertalia.

      I don’t know, Shaun is a bit of a crazy weirdo with unlimited resources running a weird social experiment.

      He created a Synth version of himself to play out his lost childhood, why not a Synth version of a parent who loves him?

      I think the best thing about that line is that the player is left to make their own conclusions. If you like the idea, the Survivor is a synth, if you don’t, they aren’t.
