However, they’ll definitely make you a truly powerful force to be reckoned with.ĭo you feel that the oppression and destruction of synths is bad? Then you’ll probably want to stick with the Railroad as saving synths is their modus operandi.

Don’t think that you can stick with these guys, while keeping your friendship with synths and super mutants. The Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout 4 is more like their west coast counterparts from previous games, with all of the xenophobia included. The Brotherhood has an interesting philosophy though, and you might have trouble agreeing with all of their actions. On the other hand you have the Brotherhood of Steel, whose military and technological power is nearly unmet by any other group in the wasteland, perhaps aside from the Institute. If you want to be the hero of the wasteland, shaping it into a better world for those that live in it, then you can’t go wrong by sticking with the Minutemen. This means you’ll go on quests to help out different settlements, and try to recruit them to the cause. The Minutemen are dedicated to improving the lives of the Commonwealth citizens. This is probably the first group that you joined, and is one of the easiest to stick with throughout the game. We’ll run down some of the differences between the groups to help you decide which to stick with permanently. So, which faction should you choose? Each has their own pluses and minuses, so the one you end up with is totally up to you.

If you reach one of these points you might want to stop and do some of the other faction’s missions for a while, until you’ve decided which to choose. Where these divergence points are will be easily identifiable, as a warning will come up letting you know that taking on this mission will have permanent ramifications. However, at certain points the objectives of each group will diverge, and you can quickly become a permanent enemy of one faction or another. You can even progress a decent amount in each of their quest lines before any real choice has to be made. However, the question that comes up later in the game is, which faction to choose as a permanent spot.Īt first you should definitely join all four.

We’ve previously shown you how to find and join two of these, click here for the Railroad and here for the Institute. These are the Minutemen, the Brotherhood of Steel, the Railroad, and the Institute. A third and fourth get added along the way, making up the entirety of the faction choices contained in Fallout 4. Starting out in Fallout 4 you’ll pretty quickly locate at least two factions.
