For my initial play-through, my choice of protagonist seems to be tied to weather or not my spouse and child are still alive... What are your RP plans?

If alive I will go with a stealthy male who is sneaking, stealing and doing what I can to provide for my soon to be thawed out pop-sickle family.
If dead I will be an avenging female, killing any and everything that looks at me funny.

If unknown ill probably just go lasers?

I think it'll be presented that your wife and kid are without a doubt dead (though some speculate that your son will make an appearance at some point, somehow).

Could just refer to skin-tone and the like. :D But I agree, it's very likely given that statement that you'll encounter your son at some point. I guess what I meant to say was, in terms of "role-playing" purposes, I don't see how the Sole Survivor would think his family is still alive seeing as only he (presumably) emerges from the Vault.

Babies look different, have you seen a baby or two before?

They look different but they don't look -that- different, let's be real here.

I have exactly 5 younger siblings and saw 4 of them as baby. And obvious I have seen more babies around my (friends, family, etc). Ofcourse they look different, but they look similar enough to each other that it isn't needed to base the babies face of their parents other then skin color in a game.

Im one of the ones who feels like the son will make a reappearance at some point. It just seems weird for the family to have a child at all if it doesnt mean anything as far as the story goes. Also seems weird that they would bother making it look like a mix between both parents if the child would be dead 4 mins into the game

we aren't the baby. when we meet codsworth we recognize him and call him by name and the baby was never old enough to know/remember his name

Everybody has been saying this but that would be pretty dumb to me.
