wikipedia.org: Fallout 4 takes place in the year 2287, ten years after the events of Fallout 3 and 210 years after a Third World War over natural resources that ended in a nuclear holocaust in 2077. The setting is a post-apocalyptic retro-future, covering a region that includes Boston, Massachusetts and other parts of New England known as "The Commonwealth". Unlike the previous titles, Fallout 4‍ '​s story begins on the day the bombs dropped: October 23, 2077. The player's character (voiced by either Brian T. Delaney or Courtenay Taylor) takes shelter in Vault 111, emerging exactly 210 years later, on October 23, 2287. The story begins on the morning of October 23, 2077, with the player character and their spouse (Nate/Nora) preparing for an event at the Veteran's Hall when a Vault-Tec representative comes to inform them their family is approved for admittance into Vault 111. Moments later, a news bulletin warns of an imminent nuclear attack, forcing the family to rush to the vault, where they are temporarily trapped outside when a nuclear bomb detonates nearby. The platform below them lowers, and the family and other residents of the town are tricked into being placed in cryosleep. Years later, the player and their spouse are re-awakened by two unknown individuals, who open the spouse's Cryo tube with the intent of taking the player's baby, Shaun. When the spouse tries to prevent the kidnapping they are killed by one of the strangers, who takes Shaun and reactivates the survivor's Cryo tube. The Sole Survivor manages to get free of their Cryo tube in 2287, where they discover that they are the only survivor of Vault 111, as the remaining residents have died due to the strangers tampering with the Cryo tube controls and life-support system. Once they emerge from Vault 111, the Sole Survivor vows to avenge their spouse's death and find Shaun. From here, the player is instructed to go to Diamond City, a settlement based in Fenway Park. With assistance from Nick Valentine, a synth detective, they locate their spouse's killer, a man named Conrad Kellogg, who reveals their child is in the Institute, a secretive organization based below the ruins of the Commonwealth Institute of Technology. The player retrieves a cybernetic implant from the brain of the killer, and after viewing their memories, discovers they can only get to the Institute via teleportation. The player has to build a teleportation device to reach the Institute, and can ask for assistance from one of three factions: the Minutemen, the Railroad, or the Brotherhood of Steel. Once this device is built, the player infiltrates the Institute to find their son. After finding a child synth based on their son, it is revealed the player's son was kidnapped in 2227, sixty years prior to their release from cryogenic sleep, and is now an old man who is the leader of the Institute. The player then faces a choice: They can side with Shaun and help the Institute with their takeover of the Commonwealth by destroying the Railroad and the Brotherhood of Steel, Shaun dies of cancer not long after and names the player as his successor. They can also side against Shaun by assisting one of the other three factions, they can assist the Railroad in destroying the Institute and the Brotherhood of Steel in order to free and protect the synths, help the Brotherhood of Steel destroy the Institute and the Railroad in order to exterminate the synths or help the Minutemen destroy the Institute (and the Brotherhood of Steel if the player is their enemy) in order to protect the Commonwealth.
