Art (synth)

Art is a synth character appearing in Fallout 4, with a human counterpart also known as Art. He is part of a random encounter.

Background
In the random encounter, the player encounters two Arts; one is a synth and one is a human. One of the Arts is pointing a shotgun at the other, on the verge of killing him. The player is given a series of dialogue options to determine which is which. In the end, the player can tell the Art with the shotgun to kill the kneeling Art, or spare him (by passing a Charisma check). This encounter does not always happen as described, sometimes the player will find them simply shooting at each other.

One will drop SynthComponent if killed.

Appearances
Art appears only in Fallout 4.

Bugs

 * After overhearing an encounter towards downtown with the above altercation, both were killed by one player. However, during a later discovery of Graygarden an Art is seen walking and only responds by saying he prefers to be left alone.
 * If the encounter loads close to you, but you cannot reach it, it may complete itself resulting in the Synth Art killing the Human Art and your companion (such as Preston) disliking the action as though you did it.
 * If the encounter loads nearby and no action is taken, it will complete itself. This may cause a glitch however, that causes the encounter to continue occurring more than once. The glitch keeps occurring until human Art is killed.
 * The Art kneeling on the ground may suddenly pull a weapon without provocation and without allowing the player to make any dialogue options.
