So when am I supposed to start feeling sorry for the Institute? My son keeps going on and on about "you just don't understand. People say mean things about us but it's all untrue!"
He literally just sent me to defend a synth farmer with a family after they took away the real farmer, because experiments. Literally killing innocent people benefits mankind, how? This shit's retarded. Is it ever explained? I can't tell if they're intentionally written this way or if it's just bad writing.
>>318075974
You just don't understand.
You cannot comprehend our motives
>>318075974
You just don't understand.
Bethesda writing.
If they weren't a bunch of monkeys on typewriters, they could have explained the Institute as a kind of crazy, but coldly logical, evolution of mankind, unifying humanity through synthesis. Like the Reapers, but without the retarded logic.
But no, they just say, "You don't understand!" while never explaining it, even if it is evil, at least put their oil pumper in the right place.
Why isn't he black?
the answer to everything is:

Purged those scum and never looked back.
Come to think of it - Do they ever even mention what the ultimate goal behind making synths was? What is the Institute even after/trying to achieve in the big picture?
Did I miss some crucial dialogue or is it simply "LOL Bethesda" sub par writing?

Shaun died when the bombs fell
"Lets give our mops complex feelings and emotions just like us, for the lols!" Yeah I'd assume Shaun wanted you to be the leader of the institute because you were sane. You'd stop them from doing pointless shit and actually make them start fixing the waste instead of sitting around underground with their thumbs up their dicks teaching the wall sockets how to process joy.
>>318081391
This, thats why I blew his head off. Especially after he said the mother was collateral damage.
>>318081665
He never knew his mother, how can you be attached to someone you literally never knew or had the time to build memories with? He was young enough not to have any memories of his mom. That part you can rationalize, but the rest of him was a dumbass.

>>318081386
desu the abducting of the local population for experiment occurred WAY back before either your son or you take over the institute
it feels as though under shaun the institute is making a less inhumane approach to the commonwealth, and the institute is only as bad as it's director
also, destroying a literal utopia because "muh synths" seems a tad too far
on the one hand I want to join the institute because of "muh son" and it's scientific advances that are decades ahead of the rest of America at this time.
But on the other I want to join to BOS because the institute simply has such a low regard for the commonwealth and views it as "beyond saving". yet the BOS are technoservatives and would refuse to embrace new scientific advancement, hording the old and destroying said utopia for stability. Coupled with their anti- ghoul/synth/ mutant views I simply can't reconcile with them. But destroying them I also can't reconcile with after watching BOS power armor patrols in action and vertibirds helping protect the wastes
altogether it's
>institute for local advances and utopian ideals
or
>BOS for mutant killing, weaponised safety at the expense of new technology and stability
I just can't pick between the two
>>318081862
Must IRL orphans eventually go through a phase where they try to find out who their parents were. Realisitically? Shaun should have either hated his parents for letting the world get fucked or wanted to meet them just to know what they were like
>>318075974
I always choose the most technologically advanced faction in RPGs. Even thought I dont agree with some of Institute's points, they really look cool
>>318082016
BoS is so fucking retarded though
They are almost identical to Space Marines in their culture, which only fits if your enemies are even more insane
>>318082242
how do you get institute power armor?
>>318081862
He was also young enough to have his eardrums permanently ruptured and rendered him deaf for life by the gunfire of the pistol right beside his head in that metallic vault room. But we'll just overlook that masterwork of writing.

Choose Institute ending.
>>318075974
Are you playing as Jeremy Corbyn?
>>318082467
you can paint X-01 to Institute colors after beating the game with Institute
>>318082269
exactly
those space marines can protect the wastes and wasteland society, but is it worth it if they also go around destroying futuristic utopias and killing off/destroying those that have better technology then they do?
but is it also worth destroying said space marines to aid said Utopias which are fairly selfish and won't help protect wasteland society, but they themselves are the closest to "normal" pre-war societal ideals in advancement and success?
>>318082467
you can pick some up at the glowing sea in one of the bunkers

>Common Wealth leaders get together form a government, Institute has a Courser kill all of them.
>Entire settlements murdered to pieces because they have some tech the Institute wants. These were all dirt farmers who would probably have just traded it away for a little food and water. Or hell, easily been scared off.
>Institute is literally killing and replacing people with Synths. There is one random event where a Synth tells you that he was sent by the Institute to kill and replace someone if you speech check him.
>All the scientists are quirky asshats who have never actually stepped foot topside and even their fucking leader only does it once you meet him.
>They literally kill anyone who sprouts a brain cell and decides they want to leave the Institute and become part of the real world, regardless of motives or if they are synths or human.
>Same group that killed your wife and abducted your kid, just to turn him into a shit eating moron who doesnt give a fuck about his family
There is not a single redeeming feature for the Institute.
>>318082467
>>318082610
most reliable way to get a X-01 is the top of Court 35 building. You need to be at least level 34 though
>>318078971
pretty sure the aim for synths vaired from manual labour, security and eventually political control and subterfuge over wasteland societies, but only to protect the institute from said societies.
Well, that's what they say anyway
your son isnt actually the old man, hes just another synth to trick you to work for him.
you werent in cryo for 60 years after the abduction, it was actually ~10 years.
the child that approaches you at the end of every route is your real child
Is it just me or are there too many Fusion Cores laying around? I'm pretty sure I can spend all my time in a power suit and never run out
>>318075974
>Father: "I'm your son"
BRAVO
>>318082665
>factions kill other people in order to further their agenda
that's like something railroad or BoS do in a heartbeat if they knew it would suit their purpose
>>318078454
What's wrong with safe for work?
>>318082665
all of those atrocities occur pre-shaun directorate.
it can be argued that under a human director the institute's experiments would be less immoral, and what we see under shaun is a fairly benign, if not passive institute
also you could argue moral grey area
>abducting people to cure FEV
>replacing said people with synths to make sure wastelanders don't try and murderise the institute

>>318082991
Thing is, the BOS at least has a good motive behind their sins. Institute literally exists just to run experiments on people with no real end game in mind
>>318083056
There is no redeeming features to the Institute, not a single one. So lets look at Shaun
>Tells you to your face you're nothing but a fucking experiment to him
>Tells to your face that you wife was nothing but collateral damage to him
>First time you meet him, he throws your robot son in your face just to fuck with you.
>Even the Institute itself is nothing to him, he wnats to make you a leader just to run another experiment on his own fucking people
They are literally like New Vegas BIG EMPTY expansion, but instead of being comic relief- they are a serious faction
>>318083113
thats not the same shaun.
Moralfag here, can anyone tell me which faction will cause the least suffering in the wasteland? I'm talking immediate results, not which faction is a bet for a better future, but which faction ensures a better future right now.
>>318083460
Railroad. They are literally protective shell tier
>>318083460
this desu
>>318083331
the danse and minutemen fetch quests are radiant quests and can be ignored
I know because I have literally spent 200 hours doing said fetch quests before having them re-loop back over and over
you have been warned
They want to kill off humanity above ground so that they can eventually resurface and rebuild society. You're supposed to feel sorry because they have only the best intentions for the world. Synths will take over the above ground so they can set the foundation for the new world, then the Institute will surface and complete the job.
>>318083460
minutemen for sure.
spoilers ahead if you careyou dont touch railroad and bos ignores you, they even let you save most institute people
>>318083598
The only outcome for this is that the robots rebel against their creators since they have free will
>>318083056
>all of those atrocities occur pre-shaun directorate.
He's done nothing to stop the ongoing morally reprehensible experiments or make things right to anybody they've effected.
He's 100% complicit in their behavior and probably would've continued to use captain crunch for decades if he could.
>abducting people to cure FEV
If they were abducting raiders? You could argue they were doing the right thing, but they probably kidnapped anybody.
>replacing said people with synths to make sure wastelanders don't try and murderise the institute
They wouldn't, couldn't do a thing to the institute. In fact, if the institute handed out meds and had security synths instead of kidnappers and kill everything unrecognized bots, they wouldn't need to fear the above ground civil people.
>people that leave the institute pose a threat to all those inside, the greater good
Maybe people wouldn't leave if they didn't have to kill their sense of right and wrong to continue working.
>>318082016
I feel the same way. Institute and BoS are too far extreme, Railroad are kekels, and Minutemen are pointless. I was hoping for an option to take control of the Institute and at least have one dialogue option about how I would temper their "evil science" ways a bit.
>>318082867
Yeah except Shaun gives you a holotape explaining that the kid is a synth made to believe you're his father and that he wants you to give him the life he could never have
>>318081386
>>downtown Boston is littered with hundreds of thousands of gore bags from the super mutants
Did they really just recycle this from FO3?
>>318083460
Sixty-second Boys by a long shot. They care about the Commonwealth's people because they are those people.. BoS aren't awful either, but they don't approve of Ghouls or good Synths. Railroad does jack shit for the common man, and I don't have to explain the Institute.
>>318083885
wow what a fucking faggot.
>here have a toaster
>>318083460
BOS from a gameplay perspective
the constant verti-bir patrols and boots on the ground are a welcome sight after spending countless hours on me lonesome going through literal meatgrinders
>>318083415
You eventually get a heart-to-heart with shaun after a few quests.
It becomes more of a bonding period not a re-union session after a while and although Shauns quite cold towards you he also confesses in a few sentences afterwards that he's spent over 60 years trying to deal with the loss of his father and mother and therefore that is why he seems a little cold
literally a few sentences after "she was collateral damage"
>>318083774
Except they dont. Self awareness is a malfunction. All theyd have to do is send a Courser to deactivate them and return them. The Gen 1 and 2 synths especially have no self awareness aside for like 2 lines they mutter in combat which could be interpreted as preset dialouge installed by the institute to scare combatants.
>>318083460
Only the Institute means bad news for everybody in the wasteland. They despise the wasteland and wish to destroy it and replace it with their own master-race of enslaved robots. Like the Master, but without the FEV.
The Brotherhood of Steel would be a nice thing for the whole commonwealth if they hadn't reverted to savage xenophobia over the last decade. As it stands, they're the Space Marines now: only humans allowed, kill everything else. Every single ghoul included. And then horde all the technology so nobody can benefit from it.
The Railroad technically isn't trying to help your average settler, but they're also not going out of their way to hurt them either. All they care about is defeating the Institute and freeing enslaved robot people.
The Minutemen are just pure good. They're here to look out for your fellow man and that's all there is to it. They protect settlements from raiders, Super Mutants, whatever invasion happens, their job is just to rise up and stop the attack, and then go back to their regular lives. No major impact on the world at all in the long term, just making it an easier place to survive in.
>The Institute are the big bad Boogeymen that everyone fears when literally 90% of the human population ia Raiders and Gunners, which are literally just Raiders in combat armor
>>318078043
Honestly, why not just go the Soma route? Say the synths/institute are trying to encapsulate the human mind, into a computer database which makes a semi-bionic copy of someone who will live long past the original "host". All for the greater good or what ever.
What are the endgame rewards of factions? not the radiant quests but actual things you get after end quest
>>318083460
Literally all the Minutemen care about is helping the random settlers across the Commonwealth, to the detriment of no one but raiders and monsters. The Railroad want to help the Synths, and don't give a shit about any humans. The BoS want to eradicate all Super Mutants, Ghouls, etc (which could help people out, but might be bad if you think of Ghouls as people). The Institute doesn't have any short-term good; all of their positives lie far in the future.
>>318084308
There are none
>>318083929
but the 36000 millisecond men also are horribly fragile, impotent and just about survive by luck and or...well luck
you know something's a bit off about them when they use scrap-built mortars to take down a Militarised blimp
it's the equivalent of Somali's using a speed boat full of TNT in order to sink a battleship
it works, but you know in the long run the BOS are coming back to give you a shit slapping
>>318084308
bos gives you a jetpack
minutemen gives you a sweet jacket and one of the best settlement locations ruined by a fiddle and a faggot every 3 minutes.
i cant remember if the institute gave you anything and i havent finished railroad yet
>>318084312
The Minutemen + the Railroad together is probably the best in the short-term for the Commonwealth. The Railroad gets the Institute synth problem under control by freeing them from suffering and slavery and giving them their lives.
Then, the Minutemen sort out the good from the bad. Doesn't matter if you're a synth or not, if you're a raider the Minutemen will stop you.
It's a solid symbiosis, the Railroad gives the Synths the chance to choose their own life, and the Minutemen will put them down if they fuck up, just like any other asshole in the Commonwealth that tries to harm the innocent
>>318082534
IT JUST WERKS
>>318084308
Bos lets you keep sweet verti-bird patrols and BOS foot patrols
Institute gives you best power-armor in the game and introduces friendly synth patrols into the commonwealth
Railroad...no idea
Minutemen get increased patrols and that's about it really
gameplay wise I would recommend the BOS or institute as the patrols come in real handy sometimes
>>318083460
Minutemen are the good guys/people who inflicts least casualty to other factions and have the noblest goal
BoS is kinda like a totalitarian state, they keep the order but they do not treat other people well
Railroad is literally irrelevant for the people other than institute
>>318082784
Do you know where to get x-01 arms? I found two suits but both were missing the arms
>>318084550
>bos gives you a jetpack
?
>>318084886
It's the jetpack mod for the power armor. You can make it yourself with 4 Armorer and 4 Science!
>>318084886
its a high level mod for a powerarmor
>>318084832
go to glowing sea and look for the army bunker there
it should have the top half of the x-01 at the bottom floor of it
>>318084832
check every spawnpoint of X-01 and hope for the best. I found the whole armor at Court 35
>>318084886
>>318084973
I made it myself, literally a shit reward >>318082242
also people forgot the mention that superb gun which synth shaun makes for you
>>318084785
Is it just me or do literally all the vertibird patrols crash and burn? The Knights will survive but every single vertibird iv ever seen in those patrol drops will explode killing the pilot and any scribes/ non - power armored knights
>>318085035
Never heard of court 35 but I'll Google it thanks
>>318075974
>join institute
>kill railroad
>kill BoS
>game over
What the fuck there were no nukes
>Play the game with no crafting skills
>Suddenly the loot system is 100 times better
>>318085213
most cases, if the verti-birds hang around populated areas they'll hang around in the air and gatling gun until everything's dead before performing a landing.
But as there is literally always one raider somewhere near where the vert-bird is it will never land and eventually blows up, catapulting the BOS soldiers to the ground..who then commence their patrols
>>318085032
Is that the bunker underneath the small cabin? The bunker itself is maybe 4 stories tall and has a few synths inside?
>>318083993
Hence why the best way to deal with Shaun is to put a bullet in his head the second he opens his cunt mouth to claim the death of your wife was "collateral damage"
>>31808538
I thought the same thing. Apparently that nuke is the explotion which destroys the Institute in other endings. That was kind of a fake spoilers
>>318084987
>>318084973
Oh. I thought you meant a non-power armored one.
I made that myself. Shit reward.
>>318085524

>>318085485

yep the eastern Brotherhood of steel has radicalised it's ideals to almost fascist disdain for lesser races that borders on enclave values, while at the same time expanding it's borders and strength
basically it's become a more agreeable enclave 2.0

How are they pointless? They Minutemen have been protecting the commonweath for a fucking century, before shit got fucked and they dispersed.
They were doing a good job at maintaining everything, and it works. Everyone are farmers, but are soldiers at a moment notice and are horde together to defend neighboring communities.
I'd take communist farmers any fucking day than the fascist BoS.

I spent 100 hours in the game, finished with Nuclear Family, cleared everything on my map and did every major sidequest other than Silver Shroud and USS but I havent see Curie yet..
Does Curie dissapear when you side with institute? I havent checked her location yet
>>318075974
With the way the institute council reacted when Shaun said he wanted me to take his place, I was really expecting the directorate to turn on me once Shaun died and say something like "Hey we know he said he wanted you to lead, but we're going to do things our way and we need you out of the picture. Having you take out the railroad and the brotherhood was just a convenience you provided and now we have to tie up one last loose end." Then I'd be imprisoned or attacked from there I dunno. Somehow I'd have to escape the facility and then find a way to fight the institute from outside without the help of the other factions.
It's sloppy, but it would've given a lot of weight to the shitty decisions I made and it would've been a great character arc. I was so wrapped up in finding my son that when I found him running the institute I didn't think twice about wiping out the organizations that ultimately helped get me to the institute in the first place. Killing all of my friends in the railroad was a big emotional weight on my character and the institute turning on me after that would've multiplied that weight.
I just feel like there was so much potential there, but no. Plus once you're the leader of the institute *everything* feels so empty. Why bother completing those sidequests to help the little people? Don't I have responsibilities as the leader?

It's common knowledge, but it gets big as fuck and it's unnecessary in this context
>>318086641
No one actually gives a shit if your follower is a synth
>>318087990
If you really must know.You find her at vault 81 where there is a plague running around and they send you into an abandoned part of the vault. She's at the end of the vault and joins your team.

Why can't I bring my Waifu Cait into the institute?
I have to drag my ass to the surface to Talk with her.

If you save the lost kitty, it will open up the side quest for getting Curie.
>>318088301
sit outside the vault for 24 hours

The sidequest unlocks another sidequest

Meh
>institute wants me to go give seeds to a farmer

>>318088338
Even then the fuckers take over the settlement.
>>318088301
Do the kitty quest, turn it in, leave the vault for a few hours and then come back
>>318088301
It triggers when you enter into the medical office, and they talk about a sick child and a guy talks about mole rats. Don't even know how it happens, it just does.
>>318088163
It's beautiful, I wish settlements would develop themselves without my efforts, like a natural thing so I would only work out on details. I have no impulse to do it otherwise
>>318087746
Idk, but theres a mod on nexus called Armorsmith Extended that allows you to add weave to a lot of the outfits that don't allow it.
I used it to add ballistic weave to the synth institute white uniform. It breaks helmets a little since it allows them to also have ballistic weave as well. Just depends on how you view it, I guess.
>>318088440
that doesn't actually do anything as far as I can tell though
it's not like the settlers die and are replaced with brotherhood soldiers or anything
>>318088082
there's a lot of stupid moments.

How would the Institute feel about humans hooking up with synths?
Do any of the followers actually do or say anything if they are opposed to the faction you end the game with? Like, I saw video of Piper talking to the player immediately after finishing the game with the Institute, and she just said, "Why the fuck did you join the Insititute? You know what they do." The player responded, "Is there no way for me to convince you that I did the right thing?" to which she responded, "No." Then it was over and Piper's dialogue acted like nothing happened.

Don't worry OP, they do experiments for the good of mankind!if you look on one of the institute terminals, it's says after the short run of the experiment is complete, they're to deactivate the synth father and wipe out the whole farm, killing everyone

So? They need someone to protect them. How is that any different from the Minutemen?
How does FO4's BoS compare to Tactics'?
>>318088338
>Open conversation

>"Yeah you can have our supplies, but don't think I don't see whats going on here"
You are literally threatening to kill them unless they support the brotherhood.

Because lol scripts
Do any followers leave or anything depending on how you finish the main story?
>>318081391
>mfw if you piss him off, he'll send Synth death squads after you every 10 minutes until you do the last quest and put a bullet between his eyes
how do I have make danse my follower and kill bos?
>>318088561
Piper was so smitten with me that she didn't give a shit that we both slaughtered BoS and the Railroad together.
>>318088749
Danse don't talk to me anymore because I killed Maxston. He still lives in Sanctuary, though
>>318088765
convince him to live
convince arthur "only 20 years old" maxson that its ok to be an abomination
>>318088749
I killed both railroad and BoS followers during raiding them
>>318086010
You only have to destroy the institute, that's all I did.
The railroad still want me to beat up on the BOS though, they clearly didn't see it as an eventuality that I wouldn't destroy the prydwen, because they talk as if the BoS are a shattered shell of a faction, while the airship and optimus prime are like right outside.
>I'm suppose to feel bad for someone I don't know who is a jumped up little facist when I tell him to fuck off.
Honestly the choices are kind of retarded. Do you still have to destroy both the BoS and Institute in the Minutemen ending? Both those options are honestly bad for the wasteland.
>>318088764
>Attack the Institute
>he never shows up
I aint get it
>>318088868
can I go on a killing spree on bos after that?

danse probably wont talk to you afterwards
>>318088913
if you havent aggro BoS yet, you dont have to kill them with Minutemen
>>318083268
No, there's a synth child Shaun that you can take with you at the end of the game. He has a little questline that gets you the Wazer Wifle.
>>318088985
Understandably since you basically killed all his buddies.
>>318083460
Minutemen.
Depending on how you've played, you only have to destroy the institute and can issue an evacuation order before you nuke them.
BOS and Railroad both expect you to kill the other.
Depending on how you've played the M&Ms may expect you to bomb the prydwen, I gather, but I never had to.
>>318088950
I disabled that Mutt
>>318088749
I had to kill Deacon and Danse for the Institute ending. oh well
>>318088985
any mod to fix?

how do i make sure that I don't have to bomb the prydwen
>>318089110
i think a console command can make anyone your companion
>>318086108
this is the reason I didn't kill everyone in the institute
>>318086641
Nobody cares about curie. Take her to the BoS ship. They just say "nice robot"All synths are manufactured using your sons DNA, Curie is your granddaughter
>>318089110
>how do i make sure that I don't have to bomb the prydwen
Just don't piss off the BoS any further to the point where they're all hostile.
>>318088749
Dance was on the blimp when I started the battle against the brotherhood and he showed up during the fight. RIP Danse
>>318082665
Thinking an old man would care about a mother and father he never met. The fact he even gave one of his parents a chance at a new life was far beyond anything he had to do.
>There is not a single redeeming feature for the Institute.
Ignoring the amazing tech they have, the director decides the future of the Institute and as the current director i have already killed two scientists that where going to seal off the food section and let everyone starve because "who is the guy, why is he leader"
Holy shit, start a fucking vote. Don't threaten to let everyone starve. Felt good convincing black scientist that "they where going to let everyone starve, they need to be killed"
Also that Roslin chick that upgraded the reactor and makes all the new generations guns makes digaling go tingalin
>>318089246
alright
I rather live in luxury underground hole with my robot maids serving me 24/7 instead of killing Raider collecting caps on the wasteland
>>318088749
Niggernator dies if you blow up the Institute
>>318086641
Join the institute. Once you're director just make more advanced synths until the synths are actually sentient and do whatever the hell you want.
