So, what are your thoughts on this? Which faction stands as the most reasonable one?Ĭlick to shrink.Maxson is a prime asshole, but he made crossroads. Yet every other faction is hellbent on getting rid of them as the only solution to the problem. Go full Wakanda.ĭespite being painted as the big villain of the Commonwealth, the game shows that there's more to the institute than kidnappings and replacing people with synths. Specially considering you become the new leader of the Institute after Father dies, so as far as head-canon goes, you could lead the institute into a better future, making them more open to the outside world even. And, despite some misguided intentions, it always felt like destroying the Institute was such a waste. During my first playthrough I sided with the BoS for roleplaying purposes (I mean, the PC is a vet.) and then with the Institute because I wanted to see more of their side of the story.

I'm doing another playthrough of Fallout 4 - this time with all the DLC - and for the first time I'm siding with the Railroad. And why is the Institute the correct one? /jk.
