The Institute
Location from Fallout by Interplay / Bethesda
The bogeyman of the Commonwealth made real — a sterile underground paradise where brilliant scientists build synthetic humans and convince themselves it's progress, accessible only by teleportation.
Also known as: The Institute, C.I.T., The Boogeyman, Underground
What They Know
- Accessible only via molecular relay — there is no physical entrance from the surface
- Father, the director, is the adult Shaun — the infant kidnapped from Vault 111 decades ago
- The Synth Retention Bureau deploys Coursers to recapture escaped synths on the surface
- Generation 3 synths are biologically indistinguishable from humans, raising questions of personhood the Institute refuses to engage with
- The Institute has been replacing Commonwealth residents with synth duplicates for years, sowing paranoia
- A nuclear reactor powers the facility, and its self-destruct can be activated in a final assault
