Spoilers ahead.
I’m replaying Fallout 4. With my first playtrough I allied with the Institute. Now I wanted to have different game so I decided to ally with the Railroad. But I can’t suffer them. They are just a bunch of morons and their whole agenda is ridicoulous. I’m at the stage when I’m about to officially betray the Institute by helping some synths escape. But it involves killing some innocent Institute researches and their synths to save other synths. To save a few robots I’m supposed to kill actual people and other robots? I’m trying to roleplay as a good guy here! It doesn’t make any sense…
I see the Institute as the only reasonable faction to join. People live happy and civilized lives there. They are technologically advanced and can actually change the world. ^trying ^to ^avoid ^major ^spoilers: >!Your relative lives there. You get a say on Institute future goals and if you’re a good guy, you can turn that to good outcome.!<
Brotherhood of Steel - military organisation that just hoards technology for themselves and have their heads inside their asses
Railroad - bunch of misguided idiots.
Has any of you actually helped the Railroad because you liked them?
I almost always ally with the railroad or the Minutemen. I also like the mod that allows you to bring the railroad and the minutemen together to take over the institute.
Edit: I really don’t see it as very difficult to take the position of freeing slaves as the morally correct thing to do. Especially since the slavers are the ones who kidnapped your kid and killed your wife.
Plus, I see the Railroad’s piecemeal plan of “freeing” single synths by mind-wiping them and shipping them north to be misguided (and dangerous). Better to topple the Institute and free them all while liberating the Institute’s resources at the same time.
