Institute is very heavily influenced by owb don't you think

Not at all. The institute is very corporate in design while Big Mt is very wacky sci-fi.

Well, they're both high-tech enclaves (with a small "e") that make use of humanoid servants, I suppose. Thematically, they seem very different however.

What influences did you have in mind?

What dwarf said. I'd be ecstatic if it was 1/10th as awesome as OWB.

The institute seems competent, owb guys were out of their minds, had forgotten who they were or what their goals were. And all of their facilities lay in disuse or ruin.

Unfortunately, Bethesda is incapable of that level of writing. They build awesome worlds, but fall short with the pen (or keyboard) IMO.
