I went with BoS and I regretted it, mainly because Elder Maxson is a jerk. I would have preferred to join it, get what I can out of it, realize that although some of it's goals seem admirable, it's methods are not, and then convince Haylen to leave with me. And Scribe Haylen! I was kind of mad that you couldn't convince her to leave the brotherhood with you. I also liked Danse, even though he was a bit of a jerk when you first meet him, the 'surprise' that you find out is a really cool twist that I didn't see coming. Much of it could have been a great benefit to mankind.īoS was the 'cool' faction for me - power armor, laser gats, miniguns, vertibirds. However, I can't believe that no one wanted to salvage the tech there, or their research! I mean there was some awesome stuff that they accomplished there. Reminded me of how they 'reconstruct' Lelu in The Fifth Element. On the one hand, some of what the Institute was doing was definitely morally wrong, and those gen 3 synths are definitely just machine constructed humans. I felt like there wasn't really a good all around solution for the synths and the Institute. See, I felt like railroad went to a bit of an extreme, and in some cases made things worse. The other two were way to cruel to leave standing. I went with the railroad, but kept the minute men happy.
