#Like Nora connects the dots and confronts Virgil on the possibility

[fuzzydreamin]

So I just found out Strong is likely Guy McDonough?!

like omg holy shit the timeline is right there and it makes sense from what we can see of Strong

The Insititute gets their ‘test subjects’ via abduction. Not all the people they took are replaced with synths but the replaced people were definitely test subjects - best way to get rid of them/no body.

McDonough was most likely swapped before he started campaigning to be mayor. So sometime during or shortly before 2282.

The Institutes FEV program was still running during the time McDonough got swapped. Brian Virgil got the program shut down when he escaped in 2287, after taking over the year before.

But why does this mean Strong is Guy? Like how can one mutant be traced to one man. Because of what we know about Strong.

MacBeth is ultimately a story about political power and how it destroys people and their families (!!!)

Some of the things Strong says link to him being an educated person before he changed (Diamond City has free schooling) - Like Strong is dumb but he KNOWS things okay, and he dislikes chems and alcohol??

When you take Strong to a settlement and leave him there, he hangs out by the chemisty bench. Why? BECAUSE HANCOCK AND CHEMS

He (usually) likes when you ask for more money when doing quests, but dislikes if you ask Hancock for more money

Strong likely has no idea who he was, he doesn’t care, he is a supermutant and despises the idea of being changed back human (voice lines when you take him with you to see Virgil) - but not knowing why you are doing something doesn’t mean there isn’t a reason for it, the SUBCONCIOUS mind is still at play! Holy shit man, this whole time you were travelling with both McDonough brothers

This whole time, after you take down the Institute and find out Mayor McDonough is a replacement and what that means to Hancock...

This whole time, you had him there hidden in plain sight...
