If possible, as most of my experience is with Fallout 4 (and a bit of Vegas and 3), I was wondering if I could play as someone coming in from outside. I sort of have a thing for robot type things, so I sort of had the idea of either escaped synth (Railroad) or Courser/regular synth (Institute). A Railroad synth could just have been moved away and ended up in the Capitol, while an Institute one could have a variety: since all that is stated above is the Prydwen was destroyed, the Institute could have won (so the synth could either be investigating the Brotherhood's origins or looking for the lost Dr. Zimmer) or lost (escaping a hostile land to a place deemed more safe, possibly still in pursuit of Dr. Zimmer, or looking to simply scavenge Vertibird tech or whatnot, like maybe the Institute wants their own airship thing). Of course, for both it could be kept vague (Railroad synth having no idea how it ended because he got out beforehand, Institute one simply being secretive as the Institute is wont to be). Of the two, I prefer Institute, but either works.
