So this is a trope called women in refrigerators. Basically a women in the Protagonists life is killed or attacked in some way in order to give the Male lead the initiative to do something. Once you notice it you'll see it everywhere. Action movies are the worst about it.
Literally the start of Fallout 4, if played by a male protagonist.
Not really. For one thing, the husband gets clapped instead if you pick female, so it's Spouse in a Fridge, not an observation on sexism in media, for another all the plot and dialogue revolves around you finding your stolen infant and not finding vengeance for the spouse.
I legit wondered what you were talking about because it's been so long since I've had anything to do with the main quest line.
