Everyone knows the intro scene is just a falsely implanted memory of your family that never existed. The institute was experimenting on you and has a chip in you to monitor your actions and push you towards a specific purpose.

That would be awesome actually. Playing Darth Vader and not really knowing it.

Realizing your allies are actually not good people when they try to kill your son then going out in a blaze of glory to save him and doing post game as him with all your accumulated stats.

make the son a gay prosttute hooked on jet. that would be hilarious.

There will be a mod for that a few months after the GECK is released.
