Mowing down the railroad is glorious. I put down the leader first simply out of respect because they actually stuck by their ideals.

Wait you can kill them???????

That freedom trail puzzle was fucking infuriating.

idk why, it's so stupid easy that I'm surprised the railroad wasn't dead by the time you got out of the vault tbh. :/

More or less because I didn't follow the Freedom Trail

Update: You can, in fact, murder all of them.

Missing out on some cool ass weapons down the line. Deliverer is life.

The one that doesn't include the Railroad, evidently.

I mean, when your ultimate weapon in 2288 or w/e is some 1700s shit, that's just proof that your faction a shit tbh.

Frankly the Institute is the shittiest. They're spending all their effort on fetching abraxo cleaner to get their interior to shine pearly white instead of building some powerful ordinance. Synths are nice but that's all they are.

Did you ever stop to ask why?

The Institute had already "won" by the events of Fallout 4. If the LW does nothing to harm them, they could and would have continued indefinitely in their current purpose, as they had essentially no potential threats.
Polishing the floors and building cool robots was more or less all they needed to do, as simply sustaining themselves was enough to ensure their "victory."

It is technically marked as a settlement, fun fact.

Also, I can't actually find the Railroad.

If you want to get there quickly ill give you the info on their base

cut that follow the freedom trail nonsense go to a place called Old Church North. Its in the north east of the city along the river.

Unless you want to cheat or look up cheaty walkthroughs, you need to actually have followed the trail to get into the building.

I mean, at least with the Railroad ending

everyone who deserves to die dies. Not to mention, Railroad has mass Synth uprising.

Other than that, the Minutemen and Railroad endings are extremely similar.

I would disagree. At least with the first part. Haylen (and probably some other BoS guys) didn't really need to die. Probably just Maxson.

Aside from that, yeah.

Your attempted "spoiler" cover shitted out on my screen and now I have to burn my game. Fucking thanks.

That freedom trail puzzle was fucking infuriating.

It's piss easy if you actually followed the trail like you were supposed to.

They literally leave their back door unlocked. How they haven't been burned down by a courser is beyond me.

>not kidnapping the 10yo Shaun synth and giving him to the railroad as evidence that the institute is no longer a threat

Oh wait you can't do that. Shit. I need to become a game dev.

>The Commonwealth and Humanity need us
>No, we only look after our own now

wat

If they stop looking after the commonwealth, they become humanity.

Kills three birds with one gigantic, bloody boulder.

Tbf coursers are puss fucking easy. The Railroad's one assaultron is probably a match for the entire courser corps. I've fought raiders that were more of a challenge.

Considering the Lone Wanderer is a courser, I highly doubt that.

Legit this, I was so geared up to fight the courser, full power armour, everything, and I literally murdered the fuck out of it in a few seconds.

That was intentional. You can even tell one of the designers in the Institute that it was really easy to kill him. He'll tell you that it was more than likely defective and that he'll have to start a full diagnostic of every unit.

Yep. Got all decked out, laid a bunch of mine traps through doorways, and ran to the bottom with my auto plasma rifle and T-60 (the best I had at the time).

Two sets of plasma mines and he's dead. gg

On the contrary, they react with disbelief at first. It's extremely fucking likely they said that because they really aren't as good as everyone lets on.

It's not like the other three coursers I took down were any harder. They were actually easier.

Prove me wrong.

Just finished Emergent Behavior. I'm not sure what I think is more awesome, that Best Robot is now Best Synth, or that rank two Idiot Savant kicked in for the xp reward.

How about you tell me where you picked that theory up from?

BUT SO MANY XP.

Anyway, I'm finally gonna storm the Castle. Upside: I get a new laser musket (don't remember what happened to the last one). Downside: I have to talk to the Least Interesting Man in the World.

"You come off as the type of person who rapidly clicks through dialogue and refuses to do any kind of reading or in-game research, only to complain about how stuff wasn't well developed or written good enough. The fact that you think that the Institute is the "morally good" choice and your entire synopsis of the Railroad is "boring" confirms this."


I listened to every dialogue i could (except for the ones that i either accidentally skipped or had a cat jump onto my keyboard and/or mouse)
and i watched the facial expressions, even had subtitles on. I researched the game for quite some time learning a bit more about what the hell i was doing. Even then it was complicated to get much from it.

And if i didn't do any research about anything in a game I'm currently playing or have played, I would not know much about the elderscrolls or the witcher lore, now would I?

The institute has many flaws, yes
and i disagree with them making the synths "slaves"
but you've got to relise the reason we'd make robots with feelings be slaves:
BECAUSE WE DONT WANT TO DO THINGS OURSELVES
or
WE VALUE HUMAN LIFE

as humans, we like to have something do somethings for us
we like to be lazy
EVERY SINGLE PERSON is lazy in some regard.

If you did any INSTITUTE quests or read on institute lore
they're trying to better society with their synths. Again, they value human life.

Why do you think they sent gen 1 and 2 synths at you? They dont want people getting killed.

Coming to conclusions I'd have to say you didn't do all of the questlines
did you?

"Won" is a big word. They just hadn't ever been in a proper confrontation.

For a bunch of genius scientists their predictive thinking was really really poor, or they were just really really arrogant.
