    Yeah, a big part of potentially joining the Institute is all your previous family ties.

    The main story is basically all about having to let go of your previous life and realise it's over before starting a new one.

    The main character even says this at the end of the game.

    "I hoped I could find my family. Cheat time. Make us whole again. The way we were. But now, I know. I know I can't go back. I know the world has changed."

    Fallout 4 is heavily flawed. I remember being both amazed and disappointed when it came out but I still think the game gets heavily criticised in some weird areas where it truly doesn't deserve it. People just seem to think that so long as the faction leader doesn't sit and explain their faction in a 10 minute block of text then the writing is bad. Sorry Institute, but none of you fucks invoked Hegel so you're slapped with the big ol' bad writing badge.
