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 and speech checks 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). Sparing the synth may result in him attacking the human Art. This encounter does not always happen as described, sometimes the player will find them simply shooting at each other.

One will drop synth component 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.
 * Upon entering Bunker Hill, Synth Art may approach with a weapon drawn and begin firing at the player. No other NPC seems to notice or mind the altercation, and Synth Art can be dispatched without any problems from them.
 * Art and Art can be found over and over and the random encounter never ending. Officially because the dialogue option never occurred. However each time you encounter them they will be hostile to you so you'll never officially be able to end the encounter.
 * Occasionally the encounter can randomly spawn at Abernathy Farm without dialogue, and the two will begin to fire at one another.
 * Nick Valentine dislikes it if you kill the synth Art, even if synth Art is hostile towards the Sole Survivor.
 * Deacon dislikes killing the synth Art, even if the real Art is currently in a firefight with the synth Art. Hostility towards the Sole Survivor does not change opinion.
