It's rumored The Institute is evil, so... it's possible The Institute perfected annoyance as a personality trait.
WAIT! You just tricked me into dissing my FIANCE!!!
You made the Speech Check, you high-charisma silver-tongued devil. ;)
Well I WAS a journo once... ;)
And why would you think the institute is evil? So they are supposedly replacing the population with synths. Have you SEEN the population? they bang rocks together.
I mean look at it from another perspective. If there was a real institute here in this world, and they were replacing the American population with synths, how would that be a bad thing? Most of America devolved to banging rocks together sometime around 2008.
Personally I think the Institute are misunderstood...
