I hate how theres no option with nick and piper to justify siding with the institute, YOU now get to shape the future of the institute. Night snatching? Stopped.

Drive out the raiders and super mutants, connect and help all cities like you do with the settlements. The regeneration of grass, nature and vegetation with the intitutes help, patrols of synths/coursers and minutmen to drive out gangs and what not, hell even WATER PURIFICATION is possible (considering u have dr. Li on you side who acheived it back in Fallout 3). Why must the institute ending be seen so negatively? Its literally the best one out of all (i mean c'mon, blowing up the most technologically advanced place in the world [maybe] full of geniuses dedicating their lives to science in pursuit of a better future? with a NUKE?

[@SteveWV]

Well Bethesda did not mean that.... Remember the second directors meeting? Where Sean tells you to attend it without him. I tried everything I could to convince them not to use violence but they would not listen. and as a good-little director It would have to be what they say. No the best ending would be to go to Sean and say surrender or else!!! I will tell him to call everybody that's part of the board of directors. And in that directors meeting at gunpoint I would say The Institute will stop kidnapping people it will will stop interfering with the Commonwealth attempt to restore itself or I will kill you where you sit capiche!!! And actually in fear for their lives they would yield. And I might kill some of them anyway and put a new directors in perhaps doctor Amari and Brian Virgil. I think I would kill Justin Ayo anyways as well as stop all synth production. And then use that technology for organ production for people who need them. That is the only way that this story can end well with the Institute ending. When you read all the little notes on the computers and listening to all the little holotapes and hear all the background conversations in The Institute you cannot see the Institute being anything--but the top antagonist of this game.

yeah its heavily implied that the institute will not stop kidnapping people even with you as director. They never have given a shit and they never will, the leadership anyway.

Another thing, is that the Minutemen are lead by only ONE person who seemingly does 90% of the leg work.

At least the BoS and the Institute will remain standing should the SS depart/defect for whatever reason, in other words, they possess longevity.

[@EariosRandomness]

I wish you could become leader before the end and negotiate peace with the surface as a whole and the various other factions you can side with. For example: Convince the Institute of Gen 3 synth's humanity, possibly using some sort of device that is designed only to work with sentient beings. Have the Institute then allow gen 3 synths to do as they please, and hire the Railroad to help integrate those who choose to leave into society. As for the Brotherhood, use Danse as a potential bargaining chip or supply them with gen 1/ gen 2 synths as soldiers. Then, cease all the replacing people and the secrecy. If you're a bit more out in the open, people tend to trust you more.

[@NebulousArray]

It's because there is no speech element, or karma element. You can't negotiate if negotiation doesn't exist. I actually had to stop playing the game after a certain point because I couldn't decide between abandoning Shaun and everything he worked for, or saving synths because (that's a whole other conversation) I believed that they had the right to be freed. The brotherhood, at that time, i really could care less if i killed them, but having played fallout 3, I realize that they are capable of not being horrible people, and that Elder Maxon is more of a western-type brotherhood leader, rather than the kinder, cool-headed Elder Lyons. My point is, if they put more effort into retaining the old leveling system, and for fucks sake the lovely karma system, we would have had an even more raw, true-to-the-original fallout game. Don't get me wrong, I love the companions, and the factions are.... i n t e r e s t i n g..... but they put too much time into being too direct, and in the process, lost the heart of what a fallout game really is: not just a fancy shooter, but a game of speechcraft and watching (or not, if you want, idk) what you do.

[@JB-xl2jc]

@@user-kc2fu8iw3v Yes theoretically that's true, but with your Director title and all of the abilities of the Sole Survivor you're in a good position to potentially change the policies of the Institute for the better. Can you say the same for being Maxson's lackey in the BoS ending? You can VERY slightly soften Maxson's policies (not outright chasing Danse if you spared him, for instance) but there's ZERO indication that the BoS will ever stop genociding people. The Railroad is great and all but they're singularly focused on their mission of helping Synths, to the point that they don't give a shit if humans or even Gen 1/2 synths get butchered. They also have no longterm plans at all, which means the Commonwealth is still status quo, not really improving at all. The Minutemen are the only other "good" ending IMO, and they basically have a network of protected subsistence farming. Not great, but not terrible. IMO, Institute and Minutemen together ending is the best. You have proven that the Minutemen can infiltrate the Institute if they need to, so you have that to hang over the heads of the department directors. If they kill you or you die in a freak accident, the Minutemen still have the teleporter that Sturges built, so they can storm the relatively unprepared Institute. Not to mention any and all friends you can make as Director (plenty of the people in the Institute already seem sympathetic to you trying to change things for the better, and that'd likely only increase as you continue to show them the light). On the other hand look at all of the benefits the Minutemen and Institute together would bring. The Old Minutemen were constantly showing up too late to help settlements. Now they can teleport. Town in need? Poof, an entire minutemen patrol with synth backup materializes in town hall. Then there's the enhanced crops the Institute has been making, the water purification, the clean limitless energy, etc. You can utterly revolutionize the commonwealth, and in 3/4 of the endings you destroy all of it.

Killing people for forcing a toaster to make toast? and thats the second problem with the railroad. They care more about robots (not synths) than they care about humans. And if you listen to what the game tells you, the institute tried to live in peace with the people of the comonwealth before. But you know how humans are....

I'd say the Institute is the worst ending aside from just murdering everyone. The Instiute has said themselves that they don't give a crap about what happends to the people on the surface, and are just waiting for them all to die. Their general idea is to replace every single human beeing with a synth so sickness would never be a problem. That would also give the few ''real humans'' left more control over humanity as they could control them trough a terminal. Also the fact that the Commonwealth worked against the Institute before is pretty fucking reasonable considering how they are the cause of the Super Mutant madness and all the unnecasary kidnappings and loss of loved ones. The Institute has literally 0 symphaty and only care for themselves. They don't even have control over their own synths, wich increase the danger that when synths finally realise they are superior humans, the last bit of humans will get killed and you're only left with synths. Humanity will die. The Brotherhood might be dickwagons in many situation, but in terms of humanity in the long run, they are a MUCH better alternative than the Institute. The Brotherhood is working on eliminating every threat to humanity, wich can end up saving it in the long run. Getting rid of ghouls, super mutants, synths could finally help humans rebuild. Sure they take some of it to over the top extreme, but their intentions are good, and if a farmer is stupid enough to set up hes shitty settlement next to a Super Mutant camp, then the brotherhood are hes least worries. The supply he gives will only offer him protection, since he'd likely die without. Railroad have good intentions, but their flaws are too major. They almost doesn't give a shit about real humans at all, and are more than willing to offer a bounch to save just one synth. There are no equality. They look at synths as more valuable than humans themselves. Their group also focuses on something very spesific wich does not include saving humanity, so in terms of the future, they aren't the right choice. The Minutemen might be the only morally good faction. Their only flaw is that they don't have the tech the Brotherhood and the Institute has to bring human forward. Still they are the best bet for uniting the commonwealth. The best ending would be a colab between The Brotherhood and The Minutemen in my opinion, since the Minutemen would bring the people together so they could finally get to rebuild, while the brotherhood would ensure there would be no threats against humanity. This could lead to a fairly bright future for the commonwealth in the long run. This or you could do as me, modding the heck out of the game to create my own personal faction following my own ideologies. The point is that The Institute are simply not a good option for ''humanity'' as their goal is to destroy humanity. And I don't see who gives a crap about Shaun anyways. He was just an annoyance trough the game making my otherwise badass character sound like a crybaby for someone I really didn't give a shit about. If that wasn't enough in itself, he made it very clear he doesn't give two shits about you releasing you into a dangerous world just to see ''what happened''. Let's see what happend when I press that red butto ... oh there goes the Institute. No regrets.

[@jsaba3521]

Merlin Yes but you can reform the institute and make it better, you are it’s leader if go for its ending, the brotherhood can’t change, Maxson’s made that clear, there is the cut out content in which you challenge Maxson for the title of elder, but it’s not there so forget it, they also hate ghouls to a level that is palpable (non-feral). Honestly there just a more militant, stubborn, xenophobic and (most importantly) unchangeable version of the institute. The Railroad is basically the militarised SJW movement in the commonwealth. The Minutemen ending is the 2nd most likeable ending in my eye’s, if you have a high enough position in the brotherhood (presuming you don’t shoot them out of the sky.)The Railroad and minutemen don’t have that much friction, I imagine, the minutemen would still quiver in the face of the brotherhood, so that’s debatable. The Institute ending (preferably with the minutemen on and about) is the best, it would see prosperity and technology flourish between ghouls and humans alike (the institute is a very utilitarian faction so it must have no problem with ghouls) in a couple of generations you could bring peace and more importantly, stability, to the commonwealth with the minutemen and reform the institute to recruit from the outside, be more humanitarian, humanistic and open minded (which would be better for the institute, giving it more resources, manpower and opportunities scientifically and open up its decreasing gene pool) and eventually merge with the government, so, from a pragmatic point of view, the Institute-Minutemen Ending is the best.

@@sabergreen2010 Hmm, didn't really seem that way from reading it. Its pretty anti-old-Institute, and sounds like her. It sounds more to me like she's also trying to convince herself, and placing her hopes in you, while still admitting the Institute themselves are shitty people. But I actually agree with her assessment, IMO if the sole survivor can curtail the more ridiculous choices of the institute (they can't release any more mutants as Virgil destroyed the FEV labs, and you can make moves in the SRB to replace the hothead with a loyal supporter who doesn't hate Synths) AND remains general of yje minutemen, I honestly think the institute ending is the golden ending.

[@sabergreen2010]

@Jeff B That’s a pretty big if though imo. The board does have the power too push back any decisions you make too reform the Institute. Plus if you go through the Institute ending are you really the type too try and change them. It seems more like accepting them with how they are imo.

Hoping to beat the game with each faction at least once. I've done the Minutemen and Railroad so far. Brotherhood in progress now.

I pick the institute on my 1st playthrough well one is I can't abandon family Shawn is my son I'll support him. The other was bcuz the institute is more of a gray faction their interest for humanity is good but the process to preserve humanity is messed up but the sole survivor being the director you could change it and not have anyone kidnap and replace people. Also if you need to experiment with human why not use the gen 3 synths could be a good reason why they don't but the option is there. But overall You know what say can't make a omelette without breaking a few eggs.

[@AceMatthew25414]

The Institute is definitely not grey, they're one of the more inherently evil factions in gaming.

[@norncare1]

It always bugged me that you can’t tell Nick and Piper why you did it, really. Both of them seemed pretty invested in you finding your son, and when you do you straight up don’t tell them at all. Why aren’t there lines you can say telling them that you found your son, that he turned out to be the leader of the Institute, and that you didn’t want to lose the one part of your family you had left? How much more powerful would that have been? Could have shut down their “Oh no what have you done, you did the evil thing,” spiel pretty quick if you threw that bombshell on them. It was so central to the plot and the different companion’s interest in you the player and you tell NO ONE.

[@chasm671]

Yet if you have max affinity with Piper, she writes an article suggesting that maybe the Institute will be better under your leadership. So Bethesda acknowledged the possibility, they just never let you say anything of the sort. Best guess, they ran out of budget for voice acting.

Well, the Institute is the only fair and logical ending. 1) Minutemen - a bunch of unorganized farmers with no plans for the future, no technology, nothing. They are only meant to survive the day. They are neutral, I guess, that is why Institute spared them. 2) Railroad - a bunch of synth-liberal terrorists thinking that a machine is alive. Well, even though the 3 gen synths looked impressive, they are still not humans. Any programmer or engineer can tell. Railroad basically stole Institute's property causing more chaos to the Commonwealth (Just remember Gabriel). Wiping them out was logical. 3) Brotherhood of Steel - an army with some nazi ideas (about ghouls for example). Their way of thinking that they are the only one to decide who may have the technology is dangerous. And entering the Commonwealth with Prydwen and vertibirds flying around was definitely not the action to save its people like Maxson said. 4) The Institute - the organization that has been thought to be sinister and evil, snatching people all around and replacing them with synths to spy on people and do experiments on the surface. On the other side yes. But the means justify the ends. The world survived the Apocalypse and it would be a terribly wrong idea to destroy humanity's last scientific organization because they are thought to be "evil". This is what I hate Piper for - a naive girl that is writing about things she is not capable to understand. The Institute is the last hope for humanity to reborn. Yes, there were mistakes. Supermutants or the case in Diamond city with a synth gone amok. But that doesn't matter. What matters is that humanity will have future under their guidance. What I hated was the quest line for them though. Very short and the relations between Shaun and Survivor are terribly shown.

"any programmer or engineer can tell" Seriously, did you play the game? Gen 3 synths are completely indistinguishable from humans. There's no test other than killing someone and investigating the body. Therefore the only significant difference between humans and synths is that the thoughts/emotions of humans are caused by chemicals, whereas with synths, they are caused by code. This doesn't make one better than another.

Siding with the institute is no doubt the best option to recover society. As their new leader you would need to make drastic changes though. Interaction with the surface, dialoge with major players and factions of the commonwealth. Imagine setting up a above-ground base aided by the railroad in exchange for acknowledging synth rights, or setting up a peace embasy in diamond city. They could also be more transparent by using gen 1 or 2 synths for their labour missions while reserving gen 3 for other things. Could be repopulation, could be for basically brain transplantation (think giving a cripple a new healthy body), concensual of course. It would take a long time for the commonwealth to trust the institut, but it's too much of an oppertunity to pass up
