Siding with the Institute is the canon and morally correct ending, right?
I doubt anyone even bothered helping the Railroad, what a pathetic faction
I sided with railroad because i was bored and i doubted that the ending would really be different.
Put a railroad spike through that piece of shit of a son, pham.
>>317871058
How was he a piece of shit?
Railroad was literally the SJW choice
>>317871251
Institute is the Reddit choice.
>>317870752
I sided with the brotherhood because I decided to start roleplaying as a devout BoS soldier when I joined. So even though I wanted to help the institute, I had to live by the BoS rules for that playthrough.
I thought the institute might be alright but they were doing some strange experiments involving FEV in one of their hidden labs.
>>317871402
Institute is the normal choice
Brotherhood is the edgy 10 year old choice
Railroad is the 'anti-racist' choice

Disgusting

>>317871481

>>317871731
>freaking
So, I'm very strongly inclined to say 'no'.
Danse says he'll expect me to follow his orders- that's a problem when I'm the 'General' of the minutemen.
How much of a fuckup would saying no be?
What are the benefits to saying yes, and are you basically a private under this faggot?

>deliberately destroy the emerging government in the region because it doesn't do what you want

Not to mention that they really suck at the whole super-science thing. Besides the synths what else have they actually invented in the 100+ years the institute has existed?
Their whole Aperture Science look and clean floors is literally held up by an abundance of slave labour. You can see synths mopping up and being forced to do manual labour all over the place.
The fact that you cannot throw all this in Shaun's face as he waxes about 'muh future of humanity' was really infuriating. The Institute is just another faction of extremist control-freaks.
The Railroad and the Minutemen were the only sane factions, mostly since they were the only ones who's every action didn't revolve around being the biggest dicks possible.
The Brotherhood could've made more sense if they'd come to restore order to the Commonwealth, but their absurd anti-synth crusade made no fucking sense whatsoever. The inconsistent writing becomes even more obvious when they first allow you to spareDansethrough persuasion, even thoughhe's a synth with inside knowledge of their entire order, only to then order you to wipe out the Railroad, who's only crime was helping the slaves of their common enemy escape and find a new life for themselves.

I think so, since it's past the point where you go to fetch the Beryllium-McGuffin, which commits you to your faction.
>>317872996
You can join the BoS, and then completely ignore him for the rest of the game, absolutely no consequences on the story even if you decide to side with the BoS.
>>317870752
I only picked the Railroad because they didn't want to kill all the Synth, but they were dumb as fuck and cared nothing about anything, but the Synths.
I just wanted to pick a side that that is nice to robots and not stupid as fuck, but I guess that is too much to ask.

You can pursue all four faction's main-quest up to a certain point with virtually zero conflicts or people even acknowledging that you're standing in the Railroad head-quarters in a full BOS uniform. Hell, Deacon will even mention that you're a knight/initiate and they'll only see it as proof of how super-cool-oc-donut-steel you are.
>>317873735
Does being flagged as a 'member' of the brotherhood have any effects elsewhere?
What is your actual status within the faction? Do they try to hand you beginner/grunt work or are you treated as a semi-independent contractor with a rank on-par with squad leaders?
Institute seemed to be the most capable of securing humanity's future so I chose them. As director hopefully my character can pull them away from their more extreme methods.

That wasn't George Clooney? They even modelled it like him
What gets me with Railroad is that we saw what rogue Synth can do. They create a Mad Max style hell scape with their power.
Minutemen are found to be on an uneven footing despite best intentions.
Institute is shady but also very competent and with best plan for the future.
BoS is fairly fascist but they get results and wipe out the danger factor of scientists, mutants and synths. As far as pro human factions go, BoS is undoubtedly superior to all.
>>317871058
I didn't have a problem with the Railroad. After seeing what a bro Nick was I thought Synths should get fair treatment.
Then the Railroad quest line wraps up with a huge fucking killing spree, and ends with you blowing up all of the east coast's greatest minds just because.

BoS would technically be the safest way of dealing with the wasteland's problems, but their doctrine is so rigid and encompassing, you can't possibly cause them to lower their bitch nature. Even after all you've done, Maxson still throws a bitch fit if you decide to spare Danse. Not to mention all the technology in the Institute going to waste because it isn't related to guns or lasers. Not to mention they don't actually care about any of the people in the world. The Bioscience division would essentially solve many of the issues that wastelanders have if it was expanded.
Not to mention, according to the ingame calender, you probably only know the BoS for like 1-2 months. Which is ridiculous the way you just adhere to what the Brotherhood does and everything it stands for just because Danse thinks you shoot good. Institute has your son, which you should have the most connection to unless you shot him in the face when he walked in. Yes, your son has no actual love for you in the first place when he thawed you out and yes, his plans are pretty iffy. But considering you're made the definite leader of Institute, you have the most ability to steer the Institute into not being complete fuckwads.
I mean if gen 3 synths cause you so much fucking problems, then stop making them. There's nothing that a gen 2 can't do. If you want a robot waifu, just do it on your own time or introduce kill/shutdown triggers that can be done long range. It's ridiculous.

>siding with the eggheads who are so up their own asses they don't even realize they've created sentient AI
I sided with the Railroad because I feel like they would change the Commonwealth the least in terms of their presence. It's not like they rise up as some form of evil superpower in the ending. They're a secretive group at the start and they stay that way, even after destroying the Prydwen and the Institute.
Minutemen are probably the same but they're lame as fuck. Not to mention their existence just infuriates me. They're immortal so that you can get an ending even if you slaughter all the other factions. They're the physical embodiment of Bethesda's laziness and unwillingness to create an "independent" ending. No matter what I do with every character I make I make Mama Murphy OD and then never interact with them again.

Meanwhile everyone above ground is fucked. If the brotherhood is bad in that they don't let enough different kinds of people live because of their mandate to purge mutant monstrosities, the institute is worse in that while they pursue their scientific advancement fetish, the only people whose lives are worth a damn are literally their own. At least the Bros portion out a bit of their dumber tech to help people out, and are doing what they can to make sure humans that exist right now survive. The "Greater Good" excuse is bullshit if it ultimately only benefits their tiny little society and stomps on everyone else that has shit they need to run their experiments.

>>317877143
>Institute
>intelligent and educated
They were pretty stupid to be pretty honest. No one recognized they were making sentient beings, and they argued among themselves a lot as well. There was no way it wasn't gonna end badly.
And destroying the Institute was fine because synths were being made-to-order to be enslaved and trapped forever. I think anyone would agree that synths SHOULDN'T exist, but that doesn't mean the ones that do should be terminated a la BoS. They should just stop being made, which the Institute's destruction accomplishes.
>>317877305

Danse was a true Bro, and so was I. That's why I shot him when he asked for it. No regrets.
>>317876853
I tried doing that.
I used up the last of my aluminum and adhesive to give my heavy weapons and x-01 suit full mods, including prismatic paint job for maximum energy resistance. Then I fast travelled into the institute to commence the killing spreeand the quest bugged out. No NPCs were there so I couldn't talk to the NPC to advance the quest. The elevators were locked down so I couldn't go to the relay to advance the quest.
The solution to this bug was to not use power armor. Somehow fast travelling into the institute while in power armor was what caused the bug, so I just had to go in and do the whole thing on foot.
Thanks Todd.

But what was the Institute actually doing to help mankind, aside from making synths, which accomplished pretty much nothing?
They had hydroponics and shit like that but I never heard any plans to terraform of the surface GECK-style or anything like that. Combine that with nasty stuff like FEV research and you really have to wonder what they were actually trying to do.

>>317876375
what I don't like is how the brotherhood don't take over some of the technology of the institute for their own means. you can probably have synths that aren't sentient and are just your robot slaves, really good soldiers and workers and guards. but I guess the brotherhood would rather nuke everything to "keep the tech away" then literally take it themselves

Yeah when something starts pushing a series in a completely dumb direction it's time to put your foot down, heck the devs of Twisted Metal don't consider 3 n' 4 part of the series.
>>317878429
personally I never seen this. Maybe youre right maybe youre shitposting. Judging by your post history ITT I cant take you seriously though
>>317878464
TECHNICALLY yes, but you do it no matter what. Siding with the BoS or the Railroad makes you do a few of the Institute quests as a way of being a double-agent, and that quest is one of them.
The quest itself is also fucked beyond belief, you can stick around shooting everyone and no one aggros. Got tons of XP from that one.
>>317878464
I think so. It's up to you what you do with the synths once you get in there, and who you inform of the plan beforehand. Each faction tells you what to do once you get inside.
>>317878341
Thinking that you can take technological abomination and justify it in the right hands is what lead to the FEV and the Brotherhood forming in the first place
>>317878570
>fixed walls
how
>>317878654
androids aren't a technological abomination, sentient androids built for the purpose of replacing society definitely are. humanity was already developing tons of robots before the war, and those robots were not the cause of it.
>>317878628
Nah. If you shoot any of the NPCs that count as part of the town (I.e, the traders, or any of the railroad guards that were already there (fucking indistinguishable from the new ones that rock up for the fight) then bunker hill aggros

I sided with the institute on accident. In no way did I think that the story would end. I thought the son was just tricking me into being a courser only for me to inevitably realize he was using me and then take down the institute, then suddenly im killing all the other factions so I can no longer play them and the game ends. Worst fuckin ending, I had no idea i was nearing the end, no build up, nothing. I thought I was barely getting into the good part of the story where i will finally kill the institute and i fuckin saved them
So say I turn down the offer to join the BOS-- is there a good time to go back & join up? Some encounter that could plausibly sway a fence-sitter?
>>317878764
That's not how the Brotherhood sees it
The same logic was being applied to Supermutants in 1 and the Enclave plan in 2.
From their perspective, it's better to go with a 0 tolerance policy
>>317878764
The brotherhood love robots, they have liberty prime and will get you to steal PAM from the railroad. They nuke the institute cause none of it is pre-war tech and messing with it is against their creedo
>>317878879
You'll know when the Prydwen arrives

>>317878074
You must understand that the Institute views themselves as the last remaining hope for mankind. As long as they survive, there is hope for the future. Little else matters, including those on the surface.
Also, the end goal of the Institute is to expand to the surface once they have the means to. Shaun pretty explicitly states this.
>>317878139
Synths are not killbots, they are recon units meant to survey the surface world and interact with its populace. Every single synth that has taken a life without the Institute's blessing is a rogue element.
Furthermore, the capacity to create synths does not correlate to capacity to expand to the surface and provide food, water and power to a much larger society.

Really? Cause the minutemen and the brotherhood seem to have an O.K time using their military element to secure resources and farmland for existing inhabitants.
There's no way around the fact that they're self-interested cunts. Again, if the brotherhood's zero ideological wiggle room makes for some bad where they could do a bit more good, the Institutes' own dogma about the future is denying a LOT of good they could be doing.
Using non-memes what faction gives out the best quests? BoS/Institute/Railroad
>>317878879
>they think youre already going down
I honestly think the Institute is not a bad addition to Fallout as a more or less full-fledged faction. Also like the way it uses mobility and teleporting deathbots instead of heavy weaponry like BoS or Enclave.
>>317879278
The picture is comparing FO3/4 water. In FO3 all the water is magically radiated and etc. that only the most brilliant scientists in the world can fix.
Meanwhile in Boston... this nigger just pops out of a vault and starts making bank on a water filter made out of rubber bands and ash trays.

Like all machines, synths have the potential to go haywire. That is regrettable, of course, and Shaun takes the stopping and reclaiming of such synths very seriously.
>>317879606
I think that's Jamaican or whatever it's called, just a shot in the dark.
>>317879603
FO3 water being irradiated to the point that only a GECK can fix it is so scientifically fucking wrong it hurtsy head.
You can cleanse radiation from water by sifting it through fucking dirt

I want robots to live free and have free will. Be it to fuck orfuckpeople.
Railroad is a fucking crackhead junky guild that's a joke of a faction and the Brotherhood are some stupid ass metal heads that hate robots and super mutants for whatever reason.
Why cant I just tell them to fuck off and run the institute myself so they keep making robots to help people and quit being the post-apocalyptic jews.
I sided with the institute because they were the only ones not living in trash piles
>>317879687
Jamaica Plains
>>317879379
Disgusting. Fill in that house properly and make a cozy sleeping place for your settlers.
Is it ever explained WHY the institute is (ineptly) covertly swapping out people with synths? Seems fucking pointless and contrived to me.

"muh experiments" basically. no real reason or endgame just like the other factions
>>317879553
BoS gives you a happy happy joy joy theme park ride with Liberty Prime. The Institute mission was tougher and longer IMO, knights in power armour > assaultbots and synths. And the only one of those tripod bots with miniguns is hostile towards both factions iirc.
Why can't I just tell all the factions to fuck off and gofuck the mysterious stranger

Question answered

Favorite location? Done that island yet?
>>317879995
one bullet and its Hindenburged
Why does the female protagonist instantly know how to shoot weapons, repair power armor and modify armor and weapons when prior to entering the vault she was a lawyer?
Why couldn't the Minutemen get the core to power the Power Armor when it was in their settlement and only knocked behind a novice level chain that any idiot could have opened? 95% of players will have gotten it before they even clear the building.
Why does almost everything still look like a pile of shit even though all the destruction happened 200 years ago?
>>317879940
To give an actual reason for people in game to not like them.
>>317880204
nah not yet. I want to build up on the bridge at finch farm but I already started there so I got to figure a way to make it look decent and not just a huge fucking staircase.
A clip mod came out today so Ill start the island once I finished JP and FF
>>317880367
Link?
>>317879548
It's not about securing some farmland for the Institute. If they wanted, they could come out guns blazing right now and probably take over the whole Commonwealth.
The problem they are attempting to solve is how to make the surface just as hospitable to human life as their underground facilities. Until they figure that out, they'll stay underground.
There's no denying that they are emotionally detached from the people on the surface, but they do genuinely have the interest of the species in mind. They just have to make some sacrifices to make it happen, and regrettably the people on the surface are those sacrifices.
>>317880294
