With all their technology, it would be cool if you could take over the institute and put their technology to use and help the wasteland!

[@King0nyx]

Honestly it feels like wasted potential since they didn't even give you any kind of control at the end of the game with siding with them. Aside from some goofy choice that's narrowed down to 2 options that literally have zero impact on the game. Also kinda weird how when siding with the brotherhood that they don't instead just kill everyone in the institute and keep all the technology they have in there.

[@SwiftBolt17]

​@@King0nyx maybe cause they think mankind shouldn't harness that type of technology

[@King0nyx]

@@SwiftBolt17 possibly but given the amount and kinds of technology they've acquired and possess, you'd at least think they'd try to at least salvage something from it all. I mean think of the tactical advantages of being able to use the molecular relay and teleport troops into just about anywhere. Or their advanced research into weapons and armor, or even methods of feeding their troops through all the info in bioscience. Then again aside from the institute, there literally isn't any other faction that remotely poses a threat to the brotherhood so maybe they see all of that as unnecessary to hold on to. Who knows, but it definitely is something interesting to think about.

[@senhowler]

@@King0nyx The Brotherhood isn't really about advancing tech, just "safeguarding" what existed pre-war for some nebulous time in the future. And Maxson is a zealot who's bought into the deification of his family.

"Please, use violence as a last resort." He tells me. As I'm standing in upgraded Power Armor, holding a legendary minigun, and carrying a half dozen nuka grenades. For a group of scientists, their observational skills aren't very good.

[@perturbedbatman2009]

Some people in the Institute are straight up dumb. Higgs talked about how Nate would be hated if the people starving out the Institute were to be forcibly removed. For someone who works in BioScience, he doesn't seem to understand how people work. Starve them out and they'll hate you. Heck, they've already drawn ire because they're threatening the food supply. Even if they got their way, they would inevitably be punished severely by exile or execution. It's not Nate who is in a lose-lose situation, it's Higgs and Loken. Dumb.

You gotta give oxhorn respect the these kinda episodes. For years he has been making fallout content and on every fallout game, he's done multiple playthough's of every game to show every nook and crany in this not well updated universe. Search any location in fallout and there is most likely a oxhorn video for it and this man is crazy for saying "you know what I've recorded myself playing every single fallout game. What's next?, Imma do it again". Props to oxhorn for not starting a playthough getting to diamond city and uninstalling, after years of this game.

[@superiormeh]

It's crazy how the scientist judged you for executing people who starve them, When they have killed people for less

[@aprostateprofit5602]

To be fair most of those scientists aren’t bad, they just aren’t aware of the kidnappings and FEV experimentation which are all the doings of the evil scientists in the directorate. Even Madison Li didn’t know about the FEV program, as she said the Institute’s departments are pretty bad at being up front with each other

[@ReplicaGT350]

Pretty amazing how the institute "hates" violence but synths run around with laser guns and kidnap humans from the surface who are then killed by the institute, but I guess that isn't violence... love the moral hypocracy in the institute! Another reason I could never side with them in any playthrough! Thanks for the great content Ox!👍

[@ibelieveingaming3562]

Their faction makes sense from a "the greater good" mentality. The fallout universe is better for the institutes continued existence, all they need is a good leader and they could absolutely transform the commonwealth. I see the 4 factions of fallout 4 as this: The Railroad ---> Mr House A tiny faction with unusual amounts of power do to there methods. A poor choice for long term stability. The Minutemen ---> The NCR A strong military not ruling the people, but guarding them. They get a 'A'. The Brotherhood ---> Caesars Legion The clear 'bad' option. Rule with an iron fist. Genocidal ideals. No goal but violence. The Institute is Yes Man Same methods as railroad/house but better. No morals as by the endgame Father/House is dead. Your character truly shapes the faction. Also on my first playthrough I RPed as a devoted father, there's that as well.

Could it be Sean became more authoritarian because deep down he might harbor some animosity towards the Institute for them kidnapping him? Even though he sees the benefits of what that decision did for his future he has some anger that people made that decision for him and by keeping others out of the loop regarding Nate he took back some extra control?

[@sebastijanglozinic8630]

I do not think so. I think he became authoritarian because that is literally all he knows in life. He grew up as basically a test subject in the Institute. And while it seems that the scientists did take good care of his as a child, they were not his parents. He never had real parents to pass their values on to him, and so he had to resort to figuring the world out on his own. He is even aware of it himself. He hints at it during the conversation on the CIT roof.

Father is the worst aspect of the Institute. However, he passes away at the end of the game so the Institute has an infinitely brighter future with the Sole Survivor as it's leader.

I am glad that this quest was in this game. You were right, Ox about Father's decision regarding succession. There was no other reason for Nate to be the director except by nepotism. So of course there had to be those in the Institute who disagreed and rebelled.

[@sempersteel2799]

I think differently. I think the Sole Survivor could make a very good director. Shaun's line about "The Institute has enough scientists" rings correct in my book. The director's position isn't about being a scientist or leading research. Its about managing people and resources. All the department heads are so self-involved and obsessed with their own work and own department, I doubt any of them could lead the Institute as a whole without showing favoritism to their own former department. As an outsider, the Sole Survivor is in a good position to dispassionately and objectively manage friction between the departments. And none can question his decisions based on a perceived bias towards any given department.

[@ImperialMachine]

@@sempersteel2799 Oh I agree with that too. I never said an outsider wouldn't be a good director for those reasons. But I doubt that is what Shaun had in mind. So that's why Shaun sent the Sole Survivor on those missions to butter everyone else up.

to play Devil's advocate here, fighting and chaos isn't unique to democracy, there's a reason that rebellions more often then not end up just replacing the tyrant they over throw, what makes democracy works is that they already have rules in place for the "fighting" and they fail when people break those rules.

I just watched last night that video on the vault in the Mojave where elections were held for overseer/sacrifice. I understand that Shawn's decision might have been rushed and influenced by his health issues, but it surprises me how this measure of withholding food is selfish. Let's say that the lone survivor decides to mobilize Synths and retrieve from the wasteland food supplies. After this and with some diplomacy, asks the scientists if they can come up with a way that these supplies can be treated against radiation and meet the Institute's food standards for consumption. This would prove that this takeover was baseless, as a foreigner like the sole survivor came up with a solution that generated new technology, despite the fact that the sole survivor lacks any scientific training. But tying with the beginning of my post, there's no worth of disguising individual points of view as "greater good" for the community, because these actions tend to be mere projections of the ones who proposed them, but always manage to silence the opinions of the ones affected by these choices.

I think quite a nice idea if a splinter group may appear at some point who has found a way of helping those by using the technology they've found and research they've done, gaining trust and being able to further their cause with having helped and gained reputation in that area atleast people could let them or more kindly convince them to borrow to research on. Maybe set earlier or a more closed of place where the map is.

Just because you have the ability to create doesn't mean that you should you discover this power and you wield it like a child that found his dad's gun before you had a chance to stop and thank you slapped a label on it now you're selling and selling.

As a leader of the instetute you also must make sure peopel know that your in charge and that doing stuff that can cause harm, death or destruction of resources and los of data that can set them back many years if not make something they where working towards that goal. I think tough but fair but there have to be limits and when they put everybody in danger and risk everybodys life is to far and must made sure its NOT acceptable and they must be made an example of.

Do you guys think this is better than fallout 3 and new vegas?

[@MildsandThatYac]

Nah I don’t think so

[@ssnakeboss1837]

@@MildsandThatYac which one is your favorite

Can you do a video about Jun Long and Marcy Long? If there is one, link please

Is there any lore on the 2 cats in nuka world?(luna & katana)

[@ChimeratAlpha]

Huh... Could have sworn the previous episode said you upload a new episode of this series each week. This vid says you upload a video once a week. I used to remember a "everyday but Sunday" schedule way back when. Wonder when the drop off in content happened?

[@easyfruitz3656]

Wait is max the same voice actor of lee

[@RovaunDeVilliers-gv8or]

Hi Oxhorn we still waiting for fallout 4 video

[@FreeThePorgs]

Working with the minutemen why not banish them but you send to a settlement??? You already have them running.

[@jeffvansant8484]

I think I did probation

[@AscensionHF]

I wish I could play fallout 4 my game save got corrupted

[@timothy8428]

Delete the game save folder contents and start a new playthrough.

[@corypowercat7277]

I don't like harming the synth animals. Wish we could free them.

[@cinnamoon423]

This is perhaps one of the worse quests in fallout 4. You get a random conflict with two random loonies who locked the bioscience room? Alright let's use an admin code to override their permissions? No we have use a maintenance tunnel. Then there's the dialogue tree. Nate hardly sounds convincing or give those two anything to vouch for. Father picked Nate as successor beyond just being their parent, but the rough experience of surviving in the wasteland. A trait he COULD use to convince them...

[@MichaelJin74]

If you banish them, do hey disappear from the game or can you bump into them again?

[@martymcyourflysdown6872]

They become a random encounter on the surface

[@airael777]

How do you get the gorillas for PlayStation or any system?

[@srellison561]

Not that it really impacts the story arc, but you didn't really say which ending you went with for your story playthrough.

[@play4dahood]

Its funny how everyone in the instatute is against violence but its ok to replace people and turn the people into mutants and discard them lol ya real against violence they are lol

[@aprostateprofit5602]

Most of them aren’t aware that those are happening. If Madison Li , a high ranking member of the Institute directorate, doesn’t know about the Institute’s atrocities until you tell her about Virgil, then there is no way that lower rank scientists would know.

[@lilyannahhimelrick1690]

I respect Lawrence a bit. I wouldn't be too happy if a rando came into my community and claimed to be our leaders mom or dad and thinks they can run the show without realizing what is at stake. I realize his method for activism was insane but it was understandable.

[@Nieblham]

i disagree with the framing of democracy vs authoritarianism during the discussion with Higgs. AFAIK there is nothing that indicates a succession would be remotely democratic. It could just be Justin Ayo using coursers to gain the position by force. This is more so akin to a Byzantine succession crisis than anything else.
