[FO4] Why doesn't the institute [once hostile] attempt to replace the sole survivor?

This might be a stupid question, but it seems like a likely solution for them. It would also net them a possible powerful insider position in any of the three faction and even reveal the location of the Railroad.

Why is 10mm the caliber of choice for pistol-caliber arms in the pre war US/Wasteland?

It seems like 10mm is everywhere.

Noy only is 10mm ammo and weapons everywhere, a lot of evidence points to It being really popular pre war too, as Vault 34 is filled to the brim with 10mm pistols and 10mm submachine guns.

And so far, It has been featured in most fallout games too, indicating that Its popular all pver the contential US

Is the player character immune to the gas in Hallucigen, inc in Fo4

I ask because I'm going through it now and my character ain't showing the side effects like the gunners there do.

Power Armor Batteries

I know the lore states that power armor has it's own back mounted micro-fusion reactors, and that the early versions had to use energy cells.

Do you find it odd that you need to use batteries now in Fallout 4 & 76? Does it bother you? Or do you think it fits well enough in the lore?

I'd say Fallout 76 does a better job of bridging this small inconsistency in the lore, as when your core runs out you can still jog around, unless you're over-encumbered. Having the core unlocks the sprinting and jetpacking features again, but basic movement remains unchanged without a core.

Do the Olympics exist in Fallout?

There is a lot of war in Fallout so do the Olympics exist when tons of countries are at war?
