Summary
Another Life allows you to circumvent the fixed starting sequence and choose a different role to play, allowing for a more immersive roleplaying experience.

The prewar sequence is merely a memory simulation inside of your head as your synth body is created. Upon leaving the bathroom, you will be prompted if you would like to awaken or to slumber. Awaken will start the alternative start mod, slumber will allow you to continue through the vanilla start sequence.

Once awakened, you will find yourself in one of the Institute's many synth processing chambers. Here you will find a Pipboy and a terminal that controls the parameters of the processing unit. This is where you can pick which occupation you will play as.

Once you enter the processing unit, you will be transported to the Commonwealth, of course without the knowledge that you were ever in the Institute.

Vault 111 will be accessible as if you had progressed normally, and your starting quest will be the Jewel of the Commonwealth, rather than Out of TIme.

Another Life allows you to roleplay as 36 different occupations. Each occupation defines your starting gear and weapon, your faction allies, your starting perk and your starting location. In the future it will also define which starting quests you receive.
