I think the minutemen ending with a shaky non aggression pact with the BoS is pretty much canon. I can see the general forcing the brotherhood to leave after the destruction of the institute. "Go or we blow your ship up" basically.

[@midgetman4206]

I doubt he'd force them to leave. With Nate in charge of pretty much every civilian, the BoS wouldn't be able to rob food and resources anymore. It'd be more of a strong armed cooperation. They'd take all of the technology they deem useful in the area and then leave, leaving behind a force for continued cooperation.

[@hmorrison155]

I think it’s definitely the minutemen route. I can see the Sole Survivor siding with the MM the most since they are the general and leader of it.

[@TheSlimCognito]

That's true, but I believe the more important reason is what the minutemen stand for. They are the only faction doing what they do for others and not for themselves or out of hatred of others. They genuinely want to help the citizens and keep them safe. Railroad I feel is doing what they do out of spite and activism. BOS and institute are self explanatory. All that said, the sole survivor is pre-war and hasn't been corrupted by the wasteland, so they have the same values as was found before the war and more closely relate to their goals.

My idea took inspiration from the articles of confederation (and early U.S, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the Holy Roman Empire and the First French Empire). It would be somewhat of an "anti-NCR" (having a "similar" system yet having a much different culture (possibly very socially conservative, even if it would vary from place to place), somewhat different economics (laissez faire capitalism and fiscal conservatism,) and being more isolationist by the time they consolidate power in the North East. It would be interesting if the minutemen have to strip some of their idealism so the Commonwealth is able to survive in the world of Fallout, with policies that could be seen as contradicting their original values (such as a swiss style conscription system and a relatively large military).

[@BrotatoeGod]

Yeah, without the Railroad there would be absolutely no social integration that Synths could have as a race in the universe. There would still be public suspicion and scare towards Synths in some way, and the RR is the only faction that cares about dispelling these rumors. I think the Sole Survivor as the General of the MM could have allied with the RR and had peace talks with Maxis' BoS if they were on good terms to at least have a ceasefire. The extremist views on Synths, Ghouls & Super Mutants that Maxis' BoS displays could tip the scales a bit more in the result tho towards further war.

Yeaaahh no sorry, that's a bit of a stretch there, you don't put the model of a military vehicle on the outside of it in big bold lettering.

[@ZeonicFenrir]

@@UraniumFever76There are a few possible explanations, going from a simple mistake, like being told to make a new 3D model of the Prydwen for the series, but in some part of the process forgetting to tell them to remove or change the name (or even just using and older/wrong model). Even an in-universe explanation is possible, such as the Prydwen being sunk in the east and the new ship being given its name, as in the case of the USS Enterprise, a name used by about 5 different ships. There’s also in-universe technical problems for the same Prydwen to fly coast to coast, such as its coolant consumption, a problem that almost forced the BoS to ground the ship after arriving at the Commonwealth.

[@ZeonicFenrir]

@@BlackScisirThe wiki is written by fans and the only evidence it provides is the name of the ship, which is contradiction to the earlier announcement. And as I pointed out to UraniumFever76 in my later response, there’s room for assuming that an error was made (reusing an earlier 3D model) or it could be a case of multiple ships using the same name (ex: USS Enterprise). And that’s leaving aside in-universe technical problems such as the poor efficiency of the Prydwen’s coolant consumption, as indicated in FO4 (almost forced the BoS to ground the ship at Boston).

Gives the player's actions much more meaning in the grand scheme of things

[@hexyila52]

I personally always took the “paladin danse becomes elder” cut content as the cannon ending bc it leaves the minute men, the brotherhood, and the railroad alive in theory. Danse is more sympathetic to synths even tho they’re technology that shouldn’t exist but they’re still human enough that they shouldn’t be wiped out. Danse understands that synths are not fully machine but also aren’t fully human. I like to think the brotherhood stayed in Boston and helped the railroad relocate and possibly absorb as many synths as possible and then eventually either left to go back to California or stayed in Boston permanently. Alternatively it would be cool if half of the Boston brotherhood stayed including danse and the sole survivor, and the rest took the pridwyn back to California
