My first play through, the first thing I did when I got to the institute was shoot him in the face.

Imagine my surprise when the quest log immediately spoils the reveal that I didn't even get to, as if i had done at least another hour of gameplay and politely told my son to pound sand.

I guess Bethesda never expected players to immediately kill the NPC that at that point your character thought stole your baby for some reason?

I did the same thing on my first as well. Then I started looting while being attacked and I got lost as it was my first time in there. Had to put down every single being in there, and as I wasn't expecting all that, I was running real low on ammo by the time I made it out, heavily overburdened with loot.
