Exactly and it's the same way with them all. Even the DLC factions. No matter the group the Sole Survivor is gunna end up doing the never ending grunt work. Which only partially makes sense because after awhile the repeated tasks should dry up. I mean OMG how many MILA's dose the railroad need, or how can settlements still b having issues with raiders when they've been equipped to take out Behemoth Super Mutants? Some game mechanics just don't make sense after awhile. But *shrug* it's all good I'm gunna go raid that settlement over there, joining the raiders has been the best option yet. Have fun gaming.

[@destroyerblackdragon]

You know you all laugh at the minutemen but there standard Minutemen attire is actually quite useful if you collobarate with the Rail Road because of balastic weave since it has no armor rating and can also use armor attachments right on top of it probably giving you the highest armor rating in the game. Plus I like to put artillery in each one of my settlements. Boom Boom didn't know what hit him.

[@destroyerblackdragon]

You have to know when to use Artillery. For instance I throw one of those flairs into a raider camp without them noticing and make it rain fire like Sodom and Gomorah. It's quite satisfying. Also useful against a slow moving mireulruk queen.

[@destroyerblackdragon]

Vertibirds are useful in survival mode but you rarely get opportunities to use the mini gun. A lot of times I'm just blowing up cars to pass the time when in one of those things.

I started with the Minutemen and Railroad, accidently shot Tinker Tom in the head while fighting Rust Devils at Mercer.

The Railroad was still aggro after I slept for a week, so I went in the HQ like Anakin did the jedi temple and finished them off.

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

Revmon Bobbin the institute weapons are slightly lower damage higher fire rate and doesn’t have the charging mod ( which would suck with the higher fire rate anyway) and not as good stocks so the recoil is always worse. If you get a legendary one that does more damage then a laser rifle you kinda have to aim at their feet to be able to fire continuously till they die.

[@yanderelunamidnight1668]

If I'm not mistaken one of the institute scientists mentions that the reason the institute lasers don't do as much damage is due to them not having rare materials such as aluminum Because if you notice when scrapping an institute weapon, it gives you plastic and but scrapping a laser weapon can give aluminum, steel, etc. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure. They do attempt to counter this with fire rate.

Pro tip: you can get Ballistic weave from the Railroad without actually advancing the main quests. All you need to do to get ballistic weave as an option is complete the 3 DIA cache quests that P.A.M. gives you. Then you can go off and side with anyone, and enjoy the awesome benefits that ballistic weave offers, like having a lot of armor score without having to touch power armor.

[@elzergas4566]

Pro tip²(if you excuse me): You can get the jetpack mod with the brotherhood and, the ballistic weave + all reailroad shenanigans.

[@PotatoHedgehog]

VinylicPumaGaming Ave, True to Caesar! Nice video as always, Puma; but this is more of a gripe towards Fallout 4 itself... the choice of freedom is kinda negated in the game's endings, in my opinion. Even in Fallout New Vegas, you could be on good terms with every faction at the end of the game if you did certain things correctly. But it seems like in Fallout 4, once you pick a side, there's no going back. There's no option to convince the faction you're in to change their mind about another. There's no "peaceful" option. For example, with the Institute. People think that synths are all big and bad because they have synths to try and kill people. There are a few good synths in the game, like Nick Valentine. The Railroad has a good cause; they want to help the synths who've escaped the Institute, and that's a great thing. The Brotherhood of Steel reminds me of the NCR from New Vegas... they kind of have this "join us or die" regimen, and that's what turned me off from them, unlike their Fallout 3 incarnation. In Fallout 3, they genuinely care about the safety of the Capital Wasteland, but in 4, they seem like a carbon copy of the NCR. The Minutemen just want freedom in the Commonwealth, and that's why I sided with them. They just want to rebuild what was taken by nuclear war. That should be the goal of the factions of the Commonwealth, not to see who can kill the others first. But you know what they say. War never changes.

Fun fact about the minutemen the settlements anywhere on the map ,excluding some places in the glowing sea, and the artillery is the same story when you get every settlement and because those are considered radiant you can get this bonus along with whatever faction you want to side with AND (in case you didn’t realize this is why the minutemen are the strongest faction) they have one thing the other factions don’t...RECOVERABILITY. Let’s say the castle get taken over by gunners that’s ok we still have another settlement to regroup and plan on taking it back. Now what would the brotherhood do? NOTHING they couldn’t because they don’t have a second base of operations along with the institute. So yea Preston may have 4000 settlements that need saving if you save them...you gain an army and if you use the flare gun using your settlers infinite ammo bonus by giving the fat mans and quantum thirst zappers to obliterate things.

+terminal brain cancer, + Semi-Senioritis, +HoneySulphur you guys really need to do homework... the brotherhoods stated goal is to take all technology away from people. doesn't matter if they need it to survive, only the brotherhood are allowed technology in their eyes. Fallout 3 brotherhood was actually the rogue faction, Elder Lyons betrayed the brotherhood ideals in order to help people. there is a faction called the outcasts, who are actually the ones that remained loyal to the brotherhoods ideals. between F3 and F4 Maxson ends up in charge, returns to the old brotherhood ways, and takes back the outcasts. this means that the advanced water purifier the Lone Wanderer sacrificed their life for (or not) was taken away from the people of the capital wasteland. no more purified water for everyone. of all the factions in fallout 4, the brotherhood are easily the most evil. the institute are just too stupid and wrapped up in pointless research to see whats right in front them. the railroad are idiots with a good heart but end up causing more harm than good. and while everyone hates preston, the minutemen are the only ones trying to help people and reestablish civilisation.

The unification or accepted existence of non feral ghouls and non-aggressive super mutants as well as synths is the most realistic expectation for the future of this world I see the Brotherhood of Steel as way too interventionist and narrow-minded to support. I was already at odds with the Brotherhood of Steel but then when they told me I needed to kill Danse I knew it was time to break with them. This is someone who literally gives their everything altruisticly to the Brotherhood and is betrayed and murdered over an arbitrary fact which ironically had been proven wrong by Danses' actions himself.

Doing open Season before allying to any Raiders should have given you a perk on its own.

Charisma checks are 25% more likely to succeed. Groups included: Raiders. Institute. Brotherhood of Steel. Rust Devils. etc Notes on those not included: Super Mutants and Ghouls are not included as they are lorewise actually victims themselves. Ghouls being victims, innocent people from the great war. Super Mutants victims, innocent people turned Super Mutant. Robot are Robots and are as evil as the one who created them, thus they are not included in the perk. I hope that this perk looks balanced and worth taking for some builds.

One thing I think Puma didn't really consider is synth relay grenades. In survival they are so useful as they can provide you with instant back up, regardless of your position.

The institute kidnap people and replace them with robots. There synths shoot at anyone unfortunate enough to cross there paths. They're also the ones responsible for the commonwealth super mutants.

[@sabertooth160]

[@sabertooth160]

[@SigmaProps]

(Base Game) From a moral standpoint, the Minutemen in my opinion are the best choice. They aren't Synth/Ghoul "Racists" or "Fanatics", they offer a TON of settlements, and above all else they don't wipe anyone other factions other than the Institute. (As far as I know) (Far Harbor) Also from a moral standpoint, I find that siding with Far Harbor is the best idea. Now what I find is that you want to get DiMa to tell Far Harbor what he did himself, and tell Allen to "Shut his damn mouth", while doing this you can save Acadia. I also believe that it is best to blow up the nucleus as they're "Fanatics with nukes", now that is my personal opinion do as YOU please in this area. (Nuka-World) Now onto Nuka-World, if you play the "Good Guy" style then your best bet is to complete open season as you get to power Nuka-World once again, keep Preston, and make Nuka-World a free trading post. If you don't care then do as Puma said and give land to your two favorite gangs and none to the one you like least so you destroy the one you do not like. (Vault-Tec Workshop) Now, if you're a person who wants happy dwellers (Morally Good) then you're gonna want to do the option that increases happiness and not effectiveness, (There are videos out there that tell you what is what) so that you piss off the Overseer to the point of her leaving. (You also get a legendary Vault-Suit) If you want an effective vault then do all the opposite of what I said to do. (No legendary Vault-Suit, less happiness, and you don't become the Overseer) (Automatron) I don't know much about Automatron, figure it out by watching KZbin videos and playing yourself.

[@artimex723]

I'd say that the best faction overall is without a doubt the Brotherhood. They're the most powerful and have an actual political capacity throughout most of the post-war US. In Fallout 4 they might seem a little "evil", especially because of the whole situation with synths and [SPOILER] one particular quest involving one of mc's companions. However, I do understand their motivation - a vast majority of synths are just tools used by the Institute to do their evil stuff. Sure, there are some good synths, like Valentine or Curie, but they're extremely rare. The Brotherhood are a military group with a strict code and hierarchy. They were fighting the Institute before and destroying it was their reason for coming to the Commonwealth in the first place. Synths were created by the Institute and while they might have a free will, they still pose an extremely high threat. Historically the Brotherhood has almost always been an organisation, which main purpose was to help humanity survive in the wasteland and possibly rebuild in the future - unlike the Enclave or Ceasar's Legion, which both had an extremely twisted idea of what "rebuidling humanity" means. The Institue in that regard is no better than the Enclave - they treat the wasteland as a lost cause and rather opt for sacrificing it for the good of their own people. My second favorite are the Minutemen. When I first played Fallout 4, I really missed the whole point of the Minutemen, especially beacuse of the annoying Radiant Quests and Preston Garvey. However, on my second playthrough (which was a BoS playthrough btw) I spend much more time developing settlements and helping them grow. I even remade the Castle into an actual fortress. Sure, you have to roleplay a bit outside of the main storyline, but if you spend enough time and resources on it, the Minutemen can legitimately gain control of the entirety of the Commonwealth and become an actual powerhose. The only drawback is their severe lack of thechnological advancements. Even if they grow in numbers a lot, they still wear basic leather gear and use laser muskets or other crappy weapons. Compared to the Brotherhood or the Institute, they are like cavemen. Despite this, it's still possible that they would improve their gear and hierarchy later on, so it's not that big of a deal in the long run. Another advantage of the minutemen is the fact, that, unlike the BoS, they will stay in the Commonwealth and keep control over it in the future. They could quite possibly create a centralized government and fight off the gunners, bandits, supermutants etc. This is something the Brotherhood cannot offer, as the Prydwen is set to return to the capital wasteland after dealing a final blow to the Institute. Historically, the Brotherhood has never been interested in actually uniting the wasteland, so in this regard they fall short compared to the Minutemen. Last but not least, the Railroad and the Institute. One is a group of people with no real goals and the second is Encalve 2.0. I don't think there's much to explain here. The Railroad has no political capacity to do anything beyong helping the synths run away from the Institute, while the Institute simply doesn't want to do anything to help the Commonwealth. From the Sole Survivor's point of view, choosing the Institute might seem like a good option, if anything, at least to help out their son. There's also the possibilty of reforming the Institute from inside out in the future, since the Sole Survivor is set to be their next leader, but it's just wishful thinking in my opinion. One individual cannot change the Institute so drastically, the other would simply dispose of them and continue with the original plan. The Railroad is a lost cause completely in my opinion. The Sole Survivor is not even one of the leaders and Desdemona doesn't seem to be interested in anything other than Synths. I'd say, the Railroad would be better off as a side faction, possibly working together with the Minutemen, but as a main faction, they're definitely the worst out of all three.

[@pv8780]

I know this is 3 years old but for anyone that is reading this: The reasoning behind choosing the railroad is completely wrong although the outcome is the same. Deacons perk is better but completely useless if you're not playing a stealth character while Danses perk is a nice boost regardless of playstyle. Now, IMO the Railroad is the best but for an entire different reason, TIME. He forgets to mention that you only have access to the brotherhood after you kill Kellogg completing act 1, if you're playing on survival that can take quite a lot of time before reaching that point, while the railroad, you can join and start doing their quests right away as soon as you leave the vault and hike your way to old north church, from there you can straight up start working towards the ballistic weave which unlocks rather early providing you an enormous advantage early on. Also, there are some "passive" perks with each faction, like the Brotherhood ending spawns so many brotherhood soldiers in power armor throughout the map that you're never actually alone, the institute ending lets you bypass dungeons with enemy synths since they're all friendly now, so you just walk in, take the loot and get out.

[@jasonburns9193]

The Minutemen can take control of the vertibirds too, if I'm not mistaken. I plan on going back to the game to ultimately join both the minutemen AND the Institute. Game restrictions aside, that always seemed like the best ending for both the story and gameplay. You being in charge of both factions means you have a protecting field team for the entire commonwealth through the minutemen while improving living conditions and technology with the Institute. You can get rid of "whatshisface" from the SRB, you can free the synths that WANT to be free, and you can cease further creation of Gen 3s, which never had a direct purpose beyond what the Gen 1s and 2s offer. No need for random infiltration anymore, but you can leave the replacements that are currently active, like "whatshisface" at the sewage plant. The original was a dick to his family anyway. 🤣You STILL have the vertibird. You can teleport back to the Institute, and you can still use synth grenades. Seems like a great ending to me. I COULD be wrong though. Is this not possible? Will the game not allow it?

[@SpaceTrsh]

My interpretation of the factions in fallout: Minutemen: A small milita who'll help the commonwealth but will face moral and political issues once they expand much like the NCR. Railroad: Have good intentions but will ultimately hurt the commonwealth because they will be blinded by their vision. The way to hell is paved with good intentions. Brotherhood: A organized military that could be good in theory unfortunately; like most real world militaries, they don't follow their own doctrines and will always splinter into separate sects. Watch videos on their origins and you'll see the wide devotion from the original mission. In fallout 3 the outcasts and Lyons men are a good example. The Institute: Similar to brotherhood but due to their isolation they will also hurt the commonwealth. Personally I think it's best if we let dog meat handle it

[@Heeroneko]

You can side with the Institute, remain friendly with the Minutemen, and have both teleportation and vertibirds after you've completed the main story. It might take longer, but ultimately you can ALWAYS get access to vertibirds eventually as long as you don't kill off the Minutemen.

[@CVHFitness]

By the way (you will already know by now, but some will not), it is possible to negotiate peace between all three FH factions by keeping DiMA's secret (additionally gaining the chest piece) and then replacing the leader of the CoA with a synth. It is then possible to have all three factions at peace.

Can't really blame you. I was still traumatised from the main land chapter of the CoA, I also don't feel bad about blowing up megaton anymore after finding out, what the rad-worshippers turned into.

The railroad didn't work in any of my play throughs my first play through it wouldn't work my second play through it wouldn't let me talk so I had to kill the railroad

[@pallegantzhorn3742]

well you can finish the raider quest and get the perks, also do the amoral combat missions and get max affinity with Gage, THEN kill all the raiders. you can rebuild the settlements again and all you loose is Gage and Garvey! that seems like a good deal

The Synth Relay grenades are life savers for me in survival mode. Backup at the ready!

I always just do the Brotherhood questline up until after blind betrayal and then switch to the minutemen for my end game faction... I play this way Mostly because I've always felt the Brotherhood's whole "Synths equal Apocalypse" agenda to be full of shit especially when I think of how super mutants were considered the same harbingers of the end times plus their kinda up tight bitchy dicks about everything anyway.... And I don't side with the railroad since while they are bitchy the Brotherhood's still useful and in the end once you destroy the institute what's left about Synths to bitch about?

[@mxlife]

Brotherhood is the best faction IMO. Better story, power armor, more perks, and more radient quests to level up, liberty prime. 😊

I have a mod that buffs every aspect of the institute, along with being able to teleport anywhere with a personal teleporter and teleporting from the institute to somewhere else. These mods make the institute a fantastic choice for survival, and frankly, these mods should have been in the base game to begin with.

@Jaffacus when you're like 30 hours into a survival playthrough, walking back and forth to the same areas over and over is repetitive as shit and boring as hell. I already use the vertibird most of the same once I unlock it, and since the institute literally developed teleportation, that should be a mechanic in the game you can use as a reward for siding with them.
