I like how they left it open so however you complete the Replicated Man quest it still makes sense in Fallout 4. He could be dead and they've lost track of him or alive and still undercover in the Capital Wasteland.
I hate the Institute, but I refuse to believe that they are so stupid, so absolutely full of themselves that after ten years on a mission a god damn geriatric is STILL alive, kicking and will be definetely coming back from his mission of getting a god damn killing machine of a courser out of the postapocalyptic wasteland. He has to be on another mission. Otherwise the Institute is not only evil and socially stupid but also delusional to a phanomenal degree.
It’s left open not because it makes for a compelling mystery but because Bethesda is too chicken shit to do anything meaningful to resolve and conclude their plot lines.
They should’ve had him return successful if you side with the institute and if you side with the railroad have him as a random encounter returning unsuccessful
There's a mod that allows for a radical reformation of the Institute (up to and including the potential to turn it into a decadent literally underground destination for those who can't be seen associating in public, depending on who you side with). In that mod, Dr. Zimmer has gone off-grid and retired to Fusion City, a refurbished Vault inside the Glowing Sea, where he creepily lounges around (literally, he's wearing a lounge wear outfit) and is mainly concerned about receiving regular shipments of a "little blue" chem that allows him to enjoy his retirement.
I thought that was an interesting notion for Zimmer: having gotten a taste of life outside the Institute, he decides that he likes being able to indulge himself, and parleys his technical knowledge for personal pleasures.
Fallout 4 is pure trash, it’s hardly cannon at this point and just a spin off. This burned me so badly I won’t even consider buying or playin elder scrolls 6,7 what is it now 6 I thought but I digress we need to boycott Bethesda
I STILL think that the soul survivor IS Harkness after a mind erase.
Because Harkness is stated to be newer corsair, meaning he would be the only Gen 4 in existence.
I think they put him in the vault because they realized he was too advanced for SRB
Father thinks the final step for the ultimate synth, his magnum opus, is to replace him. That's why the synth haters dislike you becoming director and the synth lovers are happy with it.
Father's final plan is for a synth to be better than the institute, the next step in man's evolution, mankind redefined.
its more interesting if he's still alive, now that the institute is gone maybe he could gather the remaning loyal synths and plan a revenge on the sole surivour
Cough Cough Fallout 5 Cough. My theory is that the Enclave's weakness is the same as The Institute's: Lack of Manpower. What the Enclave requires is more bodies, and Gen-1s are a great resource.
Well, considering that Harkness gives the LW a bad@ss unique plasma rifle and isn't a Dick, I'd say he got the head-and-shoulders treatment with hot plasma canonically.
I can tell you where Dr. Zimmer is during FO4, he's floating in a decade old mirelurk shit in the Potomac. I'm not a fan of synths, but I hate the institute more.
👍

It’s crazy how close the main characters actually are.
I still contend that the Zimmer we met in Rivet City was also a synth.
Hot take, I know, but just hear me out.
If you pickpocket Zimmer, you don't see a Synth component, but if you kill him, you'll find one.
Going by Fallout 4's established logic, it means the Zimmer we meet is, in fact, a Synth himself. 🤷♂️
I think he returned, was intercepted by Kellogg and shot in the face by that fucking psycho
I only found the terminal entry in the FEV lab last week. Love it when they reference events in previous games.

Don't think about Bethesda's writing too much, your brain will melt by all the dumbness and unnecessary retcons.
So so so late bro. This has been known for yeeearrrrsss
Definitely gave it to president Eden.

i just beleived that in canon he died from harkness
You can kill Zimmer? I always did the component ending. Fuck
Dead, I smoked him in rivet city.
I wanna know where Desmond from point lookout is!!!
Well um i dont think zimmers coming back lol….why?….well last i seen him he didn't have a head.
I always kill him in F3 😬
I always wondered why the head guy is out there himself and not like a team of specialists

Would have been nice to find a now free Clover in fallout 4.
picture of Dr Zimmer, the oldest man you've ever seen we still don't know what happened to this guy 10 years later
HARKNESS WAS A SYNTH?! I DIDNT EVEN KNOW SYNTHS EXISTED IN FALLOUT 3!!!

always thought when playing FO3 that the Zimmer character was very interesting, didn’t know FO4 would be based entirely on his sneaky doings.
its more interesting if he's still alive, now that the institute is gone maybe he could gather the remaning loyal synths and plan a revenge on the sole surivour
How sad star field npc look just like this game and it’s the same game engine all of them have dead eyes so crappy and ppl are hyped gtfo 😂
Cough Cough Fallout 5 Cough. My theory is that the Enclave's weakness is the same as The Institute's: Lack of Manpower. What the Enclave requires is more bodies, and Gen-1s are a great resource.
Whenever Emil Pagliarulo is involved (the most unpronounceable name ever), just assume that any lore or continuity as a dead concept.
He was like 10,000 years old I'm 3 so I'm sure 10 more years is probably what did him in for good.
Well, considering that Harkness gives the LW a bad@ss unique plasma rifle and isn't a Dick, I'd say he got the head-and-shoulders treatment with hot plasma canonically.
Stay
I can tell you where Dr. Zimmer is during FO4, he's floating in a decade old mirelurk shit in the Potomac. I'm not a fan of synths, but I hate the institute more.
Of course Mr. Papers Please Zimmer has a Mauser.
He's locked up in my basement
I see those combat armor gloves ttw supremacy
Or, Yknow, you could give him the false evidence that states he dies or whatever and he’s like, “damn… guess he’s gone.”
It's really telling that Bethesda took 1 quest from fallout 3, stretched it out ungodly thin, then repackaged it as a sequel
