An Institute terminal says Roger Warwick is a synth. However, he doesn't drop synth component after I killed him. Can anyone else confirm this? Cheers. 222.153.22.76 00:39, December 11, 2015 (UTC)

The whole race thing is a bit of a mess (the Institute sowing distrust so we never know who might be a synth). All gen-3 synths are human in the game data . I don't see Roger to drop a synth component (but then again, not all gen-3 synth's drop it, so it is no real proof) or any other synth related stat in the game data (like a synth faction for example). So we have to go by ingame statements, and hope that those are accurate. I'd say, the Institute must know, but it may be good to really document in each case why we state the race as synth, else it will get hard to justify it in case someone just switches stuff around. --Alfwyn (talk) 00:56, December 11, 2015 (UTC)
I see, thanks for the explanation. I thought Glory is a bit delusional about her claim of being a synth as she also doesn't drop one.222.153.22.76 14:58, December 12, 2015 (UTC)

This article is factually wrong. From making an assumption that the institute planned to wipe the entire family, to progressing into making it a stated fact in the "stated plan" further down. We can only guess if the institute is actually planning to kill/retrieve Roger or kill his entire family. There is no specific "fact" telling us that his entire family will be killed as well. Your assumption is just one of the many possibilities that the institute planned. Don't say that it's the only one possibility by stating it as "fact", because it's not.

Bug? Had Synth Component then settlers stopped being hostile[]

Since he had Evan's vibe and he radically changed, it was too much of a temptation. I quicksaved then 1-shotted him, the other settlers turned hostile. I hurried to loot everything off him, including a Synth Component, letting my followers take care of the fight; very shortly after it stopped and the only dead was Roger Warwick. I don't know if the calming was a bug, or there's some script that checked if I picked a Synth Component assuming the character told others, but I came to check on this page; failing to see something about it, and fearing a bug, I quickloaded.
