Todd Howard says that Fallout 4's cinematic dialogue system 'really did not resonate' with players, even though Bethesda 'spent forever' working on it (www.pcgamer.com)

My first play through, the first thing I did when I got to the institute was shoot him in the face.

Imagine my surprise when the quest log immediately spoils the reveal that I didn't even get to, as if i had done at least another hour of gameplay and politely told my son to pound sand.

I guess Bethesda never expected players to immediately kill the NPC that at that point your character thought stole your baby for some reason?

I did the same thing on my first as well. Then I started looting while being attacked and I got lost as it was my first time in there. Had to put down every single being in there, and as I wasn't expecting all that, I was running real low on ammo by the time I made it out, heavily overburdened with loot.
