That feels more like Bethesda not bothering to differentiate gen 2 from gen 3 in their code than actual lore. I dunno, I'm skeptical unless it's actually stated in terminals / dialog somewhere.

And that's canon? I haven't played the game in years but I feel like I would have remembered that.

... except most of this only applies to generation 2 synths. And generation 2 didn't have true AI. Gen 3, as far as I remember, has all the same drawbacks that natural born humans do.
Now, could they modify gen 3s to be more resistant to rads or regrow limbs. Probably, but I'm not sure that's in scope for the discussion.

It's backfiring to some extent though. Most libertarians no longer align themselves with Republicans anymore, especially in light of roe v Wade.
Source: have libertarian friend. Maybe a few, though it's never been super clear with some of them.
And just to be clear, I think libertarianism is stupid for many reasons. We just don't talk politics much and that's how we get along.

Reply to New psychology research rebuts Sigmund Freud's "wrecked by success" hypothesis: People with exceptionally successful careers tend to be healthier than their less successful peers by HeinieKaboobler
I think it's important to note that, in our modern age, it is very possible to literally buy good health.
A personal chef who knows how to make tasty meals that are also nutritious, personal trainer, top grade nutritional supplements. The best doctors money can buy, who have the knowledge to treat basically any symptom. Technology to treat those symptoms. Liposuction.
And that's just the legal stuff. Most of this didn't exist or wasn't common in Freud's day.

It's just Kamala Harris 2.0.
Who cares if he's of color, he's supposedly a billionaire and you don't become a billionaire by being a good person.

.... except Nick and dima have the body of a gen 2. That is to say, mechanical. Of course they're immune.
You say, "specifically chose", but it could just be a simple case of copying the stats from gen 2 and pasting them to save time. This IS Bethesda we're talking about here. Without specific dialog to confirm it, I remain skeptical.
In the creation kit, ARE gen 3 synths even their own race? I'm not a modder so I don't know how to check. I always assumed they just plopped synth components in the inventories of regular human NPCs.
And all of that aside, it doesn't really make sense when you think about it. Gen 3 was designed to pass for / infiltrate humans. Not getting sick from rads would be super suspicious. Furthermore, the amount of genetic manipulation that would be required to make them immune would probably trigger all sorts of bio / DNA scans. Not saying many exist in the wastes, but it's still a really dumb idea.
