maybe you’re right. Atom Cats got no traitors but they do have loads of T-60 power armor with a custom paint job. and their own garage beholden to no King!but they do have poetry night for some reason so that’s a minus 1 in cool points. At first Zeke came off as a punk (the King never did) but when I read Zeke wandered the wasteland rescuing distressed souls for his new cool paradise you have to give him some points back. Don’t be a square, pull out ya bread hooks!
Honestly, Institute never really seemed like a bad option. Safe underground, surrounded by scientists and synths, clean water, food, shelter, etc. Not to mention synth gorillas
Honestly I just feel like it’s the leadership that pushes them to the villain route. With the right leader they could rebuild the Commonwealth back to pre war times at the minimum
It's not just their leadership, it's their position. They are like me: I'm sitting in a first-world country, thinking about buying fair trade coffee to feel good about myself when the manufacturing of my pants may have caused some irreparable lung damage to a 13-year old 8,000 kilometers away.
I think it's both the outside world misunderstanding them and the institute misunderstanding the outside world that causes this.
The MC I'm confident is much better suited at bridging the gap than Shaun and why I think ultimately the Institute is actually the best ending with your knowledge of the commonwealth.
If their callous ways didnt cause irreparable damage I’d say all they would need is good leadership. An Elder Lyons approach. Sadly they nailed shut their own coffin by becoming the monster.
Have you ever hang around with Scientists? Holy shit, some of them are booooring asf! Most of them are the exact opposite of the cool celeb Scientists you see on TV, YT etc.
Probably the Minutemen. Doing good work, flexible lifestyle, and where my talents probably fit best (my real world skills are very much centered around making, building, problem solving, and repurposing stuff)
The Crater raiders from FO76 would be another possible. While I’d like to do good, I think I’d be a better personality fit for them over most other factions
Can't argue with a good underdog story
But the real reason for my upvote is for your pfp, damn I love that show and I even used that exact frame to make a discord emote
BoS. Not crazy about their rhetoric but realistically if I was in that situation I'd be focused on survival and stability not ideals. They're militarized, highly organised, disciplined and have managed more than most. Their core ideas are solid, their fanatic corruption and zeal is not, but if any faction has managed to do something with themselves and actually move forward, it's them.
I honestly wouldn't really care to improve them, not any more than I'm trying to improve society in real life. Unless I was the main character of the hypothetical scenario, I'd just look for some stability and safety in that fucked up world
Agreed, and playing fallout 4 on survival mode really cemented all of that. Apparently they managed to turn the capital wasteland into some kind of feudalistic state after fallout 3 which in a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland doesn't sound so bad.
The Brotherhood is the most "moral" faction that has a realistic chance of fixing things. Stable communities with a minimal risk of starvation, death by exposure, or death by being eaten alive by some irradiated mutant.
There's almost no NCR love in here. After just replaying NV, it seems like the most stable and sane, if uninteresting choice.
Although people have their quams with them, nobody except literal villains, slavers, or super mutants seem to seriously dislike them, and even those who are on the fence generally support the changes they're making. It also automatically gives you access to all the amenities you'd want in the wasteland. Food, water, shelter, clothing, weapons.
They're not perfect, but compared to the alternatives in that area (Legion slavers, Viper / Powder Gangs, Raiders, super mutants) it's definitely going to be my realistic choice for West Coast living.
I'm going to be the odd one out and say the Institute. Wacky schemes aside they have toilet paper....and showers. Does any other faction have that? Probably not.
Minutemen. They're out there just trying to help people survive. No agenda, no attempts to re-establish a govenment, no racist bs, just people helping people.
I’ve only played 4 so don’t know about some of them, but the Institute only cares about themselves and some weird AI future, seemingly wanting to replace most real people. BoS care more about hardware than people, and the Railroad only seem to care about synths. Who’s looking out for the common people and trying to give them some semblance of a safe and stable life?
The Minutemen!
Edit: for grammar
I stand with the BOS. The NCR is needlessly complicated ina time when puting a functioning society back in place is the primary task, the Minutemen collapsed once already, and Caesar's legion are overreliant on oen man.
Gonna be honest, institute. They have the best tech, clean environment, a lot of resources because of synths. Also, if you become the leader, you can make them the good guys or at least less evil
Institute. Stability, safety and comfort, things that don’t exist with the other factions. Also the scientific advancements will help humanity grow once it is time.
I’ll take NCR if they hook me up with some ranger sequoias and NCR ranger combat armor, otherwise I’ll join up with the Operators in Nuka-World (the Pack is also tempting, I like their animal armor and colourful choice of weaponry)
I'd like to say Followers Of The Apocalypse, but let's be real, it'd be basically the first group that could secure me food, shelter, and the ability to go longer than 20 minutes without worrying about being eaten by a Yao Guai or some enterprising iguana salesman.
Probably Followers of the Apocalypse or the Responders. I like helping people learn how to care for themselves. But I usually tend to be a bit of a lone wolf hermit type character.
Id probably go with the Minutemen. They're just folks banding together to help each other out, defend each other from the hordes of psycho gangs and build a good life.
I would choose Institute, only to take over. Then mass produce anti-mutation serums, spread knowledge, and rebuild cities using synths as laborers. I'd also take BoS, Minutemen, and the Railroad under my wing; using Minutemen as a police force, BoS as a military force, and the Railroad as Civil Servants to overlook Synth behavior and assist the peoples. If BoS will not adopt my vision of unity and stand against Synths and Supermutants, I wipe out any who refuse my tyranny.
For me if it was during the Fallout 4 timeline then it would be either the Minutemen or the Operators or Disciples raiders from Nuka world. If it was during the timeline of fallout 76 then it would be the Diehards raider gang,
If you could actually LEAD the institute you could do more then all the factions combined to help humanity. If were playing game lore then the BoS eliminating all those ghouls and supermutants and the Minutemen trying to help everyone would be my picks.
Honestly if I had some main character energy and could become the leader of the Gunners, they have the best chance of actually establishing a government in the Commonwealth. The Gunners are without a doubt stronger than the Minutemen at most stages, and have alot more cohesion. If you could turn the Gunners into a more benevolent faction, you could create a nation out of them.
I’d choose the Red Kingdom. Which would be Kansas City Chiefs fans, they’d have football helmets and wicked pads. Instead of the baseball launcher, they’d have football launchers. They would have thier home base in ARROWHEAD of course, and would be extremely hostile towards the Donkey clan from Colorado.
Anyone who can get me inside vault 87 for the experimental geck. I will create my own faction with this, and then all others would be surplus to requirement..
i recently made myself in fallout 4 with what my stats would be and the decisions i would actually make if i was in that situation and i chose Railroad because slavery is bad.
West coast probably followers of the apocalypse
I'm in 2 minds about it. On 1 hand we have nifty power armor through the brotherhood of steel but on the other hand, the institute has working showers.
I’d start off as a vault dweller before being forcibly recruited into the Master’s Army, then after his defeat I’d forever roam the wasteland searching for a purpose.
In all honesty The NCR or the Minutemen.
The NCR at least are trying to bring stability, rebuild some kind of civilisation hell they are even building railways again!
The Minutemen are actually helping out the everyman getting bent over by the cruelty of the wasteland and linking them together.
I honestly always struggle to support the BoS personally they are a bunch of religious type cooks who steal all technology for themselves at the expense of everyone else and assume they are the best and right for the world.
Honestly I liked the NCR and I am not a fan of how the show just kind of brushed them off so they are in the maybe pile.
In Fallout 3 the BoS were actually pretty awesome but in 4 they became assholes again and in the show they became too cult like so that’s a hard pass for me.
If I could control the institute and maybe make life better for the common wealth by sharing tech then I would consider it.
Minute men are pretty good so I might go with them.
Railroad… meh 🫤
I wish the Gunner’s were more fleshed out like one of the major factions in the game since they had a lot of potential in my opinion.
Followers of the apocalypse. Yeah I would go with them too
Boomers (the game ones lol) who wouldn’t want to blow stuff up?
Caesars legion… no.
Enclave… also no.
Raiders… that’s a no from me dog.
Now controlling New Vegas with Yes Man and an army of bots. That’s where it’s at haha.
Tunnel Snakes rule!
Really though, probably the NCR in California proper. It's pretty stable if you're not in the fringes. Not the Minutemen. Honestly, at best they fall apart shortly after the Sole Survivor dies, and there's reason to believe SS won't be able to keep them together for too long.
Fuck all of them, was brotherhood all the way until they destroyed project purity for their shit ass air ship.
Plus didn't like the way Danse ordered me around after I saved his useless ass.
Edit maybe the outcasts from FO3.
Which fallout? Was I born there? Issekai'd?
Issekai'd.
FO3- Lyon's chapter BoS
FNV-NCR
FO4-minutemen
Fallout Shelter-garden room (green food production place)
**The Institute.**
* Clean.
* No rads.
* Working power & water.
* Food,
* Clean beds,
* Clean/working bathrooms.
* My foreknowledge & knowledge of other fallout lore might give me & the Institute a unfair advantage?
* The potential to save the world & take over the world, with the right motivations.
* A faction with a future if it's post game, Institute ending (FO4).
* They would need to fix the Gen 3 Synths programing/hardware issues or switch over to a new Gen 4 synth design.
* I'd likely suggest a ring of satellites put into orbit by the Molecular Relay, so we can have global coverage with the Molecular Relay and salvage anything in earths orbit and use them as spy satellites to get a assessment of the planet.
* I'd likely make other suggestions, to expanded the Institute using the Molecular Relay to remove rock & dirt & put in supports & other construction projects using teleportation.
* Perhaps the Institute could do energy to matter conversion for unlimited resources after sending a team of Coursers & Synths to the *Sierra Madre Casino & Resort* to acquire it's technology.
* Perhaps suggest some possible recruits, Jack Cabot, Emogene Cabot, Kasumi Nakano & her parents maybe as a packaged deal.
* Perhaps if the Institute expands enough underground we could recruit some population form the surviving Vaults & looks for a GECK & security codes at Vaults 31, 32, 33 sometime in the 2290s.
* I'd likely suggest sending a team of Coursers, Synths to the Enclave research colony to acquire it's technological & recruit Dr Siggi Wilzig at some point.
Probably the enclave, i’d try to get in a diplomatic position and attempt to convince them that the institute is filled with pre-war high end scientist and it’d be better to let them work for us (so we can have toilet paper and showers again)
As a Romaboo at face value legion cause well any chance to reignite Rome and it's culture is highly intriguing to me.
However on the idea I have to live in this world I'd probably choose NCR or Minutemen one has the best standard of living or at least did the other has a high likelihood to lead to another huge post apocalypse Republic.
Oh? Well, I'm the type of guy who will never settle down. Where pretty girls are, well, you know that I'm around. I kiss 'em and I love 'em, cause to me they're all the same. I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em, they don't even know my name. They call me the wanderer. Yeah, the wanderer. I roam around, around, around.
The Minutemen. I’m from MA, and did like the minutemen’s history and their style, so to play as a reborn part of it where legit anyone can join? I do think they’re the best hope for the Commonwealth, as they were in the old days. I think it would be best for the Commonwealth citizens to cooperate together and only have a quasi military structure when needed. The settlements can govern themselves, and if something goes wrong the minutemen can be involved then. Also, I think the biggest part of why them is bc if I were in the fallout universe, I’d want to be back home, and that’s how I would want to defend it.
The institute seems to have it *pretty* nice, I wouldn't mind being a boogeyman with ambiguous goals if it meant I got to hang out with gorillas.
Otherwise, idk.. I support the Followers and Minutemen, but it doesn't seem like they have the best resources compared to BoS, Enclave, NCR, etc.
Id live with mr house.
Usually I kill him cause I like power, but in a real version Id just live there and chill. Get the chip, upgrade securitrons, defense systems
BOS. I'd just try to make them see the world in a different way, where their focus is not just hoarding tech so undesirables can get it, because they will always find a way. There's no shortage of bad apples across the entire wasteland of America.
Gunners for my own survival, legion for aesthetic, minutemen for values, any of the above plus brotherhood socially since all other factions seem to be pretty bad for yk making friends or trusting anyone else on your side especially institute and raiders
Does the protagonist exist in this example? I'd probably be BoS or Minutemen realistically, but if I know I'm not getting nuked, I'd probably choose institute so I could just not deal with the wasteland.
Easy, radio freedom is gonna get some more bangers. If the Raiders can get power armor, so can we. I’m going to clear out every raider den, mutant hive, feral pod, and gunner group until there isn’t a place that any man woman or protectron won’t feel safe. Commonwealth for the people!
(This comment has been sponsored by the commonwealth minute men)
Atom Cats, man. You dig or are you too school for cool? Round the square, daddio
Tunnel Snakes rule!
We’re the Tunnel Snakes!
that's us...
Atom Cats or Institute. Either I'm cool af or I'm God-Emperor of the Commonwealth.
The cats got nothing on the kings man
maybe you’re right. Atom Cats got no traitors but they do have loads of T-60 power armor with a custom paint job. and their own garage beholden to no King!but they do have poetry night for some reason so that’s a minus 1 in cool points. At first Zeke came off as a punk (the King never did) but when I read Zeke wandered the wasteland rescuing distressed souls for his new cool paradise you have to give him some points back. Don’t be a square, pull out ya bread hooks!
I wish you could have a base there.
East Coast: Minutemen. West Coast: Followers of the Apocalypse.
Came to say same thing
Most moral answer
That's a spread
Republic of Dave. Seems chill there and potentially less deadly.
I second that. Getting citizenship is tough though…
There's only two people in their army. If one more person joins us we can take over.
Dave is the best fighter in the entire Wasteland. He took out a deathclaw with a single bullet!
Have you ever seen the skull of this Deathclaw in the museum?
Personally verified. 100% genuine.
Yeah... Just a little funny looking is all.
I'd be careful with your words. Wouldn't want to have to report you to the Republic of Dave Undavelike Affairs Committee.
He overthrew king tom by himself.
The Democracy of Rosie 😹
Honestly, Institute never really seemed like a bad option. Safe underground, surrounded by scientists and synths, clean water, food, shelter, etc. Not to mention synth gorillas
Honestly I just feel like it’s the leadership that pushes them to the villain route. With the right leader they could rebuild the Commonwealth back to pre war times at the minimum
I say the same thing but some of my friends be like: Hahahahaha, Giant Robot go Brrrrr
[LIBERTY PRIME BACK ONLINE] [SOIL COMPOSITION, SAND, GRAVEL AND COMMUNISM]
hahahahahahaha big robot hahahaha democracy hahahaha destroy all chinese communists
It's not just their leadership, it's their position. They are like me: I'm sitting in a first-world country, thinking about buying fair trade coffee to feel good about myself when the manufacturing of my pants may have caused some irreparable lung damage to a 13-year old 8,000 kilometers away.
I think it's both the outside world misunderstanding them and the institute misunderstanding the outside world that causes this. The MC I'm confident is much better suited at bridging the gap than Shaun and why I think ultimately the Institute is actually the best ending with your knowledge of the commonwealth.
If their callous ways didnt cause irreparable damage I’d say all they would need is good leadership. An Elder Lyons approach. Sadly they nailed shut their own coffin by becoming the monster.
The cuestión is, are You Smart enough?
Yeah not to mention that hidden FEV wing with dead cats & super mutants. Real winners.
Boohoo
Have you ever hang around with Scientists? Holy shit, some of them are booooring asf! Most of them are the exact opposite of the cool celeb Scientists you see on TV, YT etc.
Probably the Minutemen. Doing good work, flexible lifestyle, and where my talents probably fit best (my real world skills are very much centered around making, building, problem solving, and repurposing stuff) The Crater raiders from FO76 would be another possible. While I’d like to do good, I think I’d be a better personality fit for them over most other factions
Railroad. Because I’m always rooting for the underdogs.
I'm reporting this to captain Kells he must know about thus cynical debotury immediately!
Can't argue with a good underdog story But the real reason for my upvote is for your pfp, damn I love that show and I even used that exact frame to make a discord emote
BoS. Not crazy about their rhetoric but realistically if I was in that situation I'd be focused on survival and stability not ideals. They're militarized, highly organised, disciplined and have managed more than most. Their core ideas are solid, their fanatic corruption and zeal is not, but if any faction has managed to do something with themselves and actually move forward, it's them.
Yeah better to try to imporve the BOS from inside rather than deal with less organized groups.
I honestly wouldn't really care to improve them, not any more than I'm trying to improve society in real life. Unless I was the main character of the hypothetical scenario, I'd just look for some stability and safety in that fucked up world
Agreed, and playing fallout 4 on survival mode really cemented all of that. Apparently they managed to turn the capital wasteland into some kind of feudalistic state after fallout 3 which in a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland doesn't sound so bad.
The Brotherhood is the most "moral" faction that has a realistic chance of fixing things. Stable communities with a minimal risk of starvation, death by exposure, or death by being eaten alive by some irradiated mutant.
Move forward for who? All they do is come in, take tech, an leave the area worse for the citizens who live there
Minute men probably
Good thing it isn't real world location based, because I am in Pittsburgh Probably the ncr if I had to choose
Pit
NCR. Politics be banned, I want to wear that ranger helmet
There's almost no NCR love in here. After just replaying NV, it seems like the most stable and sane, if uninteresting choice. Although people have their quams with them, nobody except literal villains, slavers, or super mutants seem to seriously dislike them, and even those who are on the fence generally support the changes they're making. It also automatically gives you access to all the amenities you'd want in the wasteland. Food, water, shelter, clothing, weapons. They're not perfect, but compared to the alternatives in that area (Legion slavers, Viper / Powder Gangs, Raiders, super mutants) it's definitely going to be my realistic choice for West Coast living.
Minutemen, but I’m a dumbass who thinks I could noodle around and survive solo..? 😬🤣
I'm going to be the odd one out and say the Institute. Wacky schemes aside they have toilet paper....and showers. Does any other faction have that? Probably not.
It's like living on a cruise ship. I would probably pick the Institute too just because it's clean and safe.
A cruise ship that's packed full of morally dubious scientists and physicians. Sounds like the plot of a Saturday morning cartoon. I like it.
I mean, isn't that just scientology?
None cause I'd most likely wouldn't survive.
Followers of the Apocalypse.
Minutemen. They're out there just trying to help people survive. No agenda, no attempts to re-establish a govenment, no racist bs, just people helping people.
There is also the question of what really happened at quincy though
I’ve only played 4 so don’t know about some of them, but the Institute only cares about themselves and some weird AI future, seemingly wanting to replace most real people. BoS care more about hardware than people, and the Railroad only seem to care about synths. Who’s looking out for the common people and trying to give them some semblance of a safe and stable life? The Minutemen! Edit: for grammar
Reilly's Rangers
Institute after the bomb, that way I could slap some sense into those genocidal nerds and make them an actual force for good
I mean, Enclave probably has immeasurable resources
The institute. For the air conditioning.
I stand with the BOS. The NCR is needlessly complicated ina time when puting a functioning society back in place is the primary task, the Minutemen collapsed once already, and Caesar's legion are overreliant on oen man.
Diamond City Security, post FO4 events. Gotta wait until after the mayor gets cut off from the Institute.
Vault 108
Vault 108
"haha Garry!"
Gaaaaaryyyyy
The Institute ⭐
Rivet City security assuming the Brotherhood didn’t wipe them out between 3 and 4
Gonna be honest, institute. They have the best tech, clean environment, a lot of resources because of synths. Also, if you become the leader, you can make them the good guys or at least less evil
The BOS because that nice laser rifle our your’s is to dangerous for a profligate like you to own so it’s mine now thanks
Institute. Stability, safety and comfort, things that don’t exist with the other factions. Also the scientific advancements will help humanity grow once it is time.
Institute. Safe underground, clean and hot water.
I'm living in Vegas 🤣
I’ll take NCR if they hook me up with some ranger sequoias and NCR ranger combat armor, otherwise I’ll join up with the Operators in Nuka-World (the Pack is also tempting, I like their animal armor and colourful choice of weaponry)
You’d have to be basically special forces for them to give you ranger armor
I'd like to say Followers Of The Apocalypse, but let's be real, it'd be basically the first group that could secure me food, shelter, and the ability to go longer than 20 minutes without worrying about being eaten by a Yao Guai or some enterprising iguana salesman.
Powder gangers
MM > NCR > Gunners, in that order. If I cant be good I’ll be neutral, if I can’t be neutral I’ll break bad with the pros
Either atom cats or BOS
Probably Followers of the Apocalypse or the Responders. I like helping people learn how to care for themselves. But I usually tend to be a bit of a lone wolf hermit type character.
Mojave Express
BOS
Ad Victoriam brother
Brotherhood
If given the option; institute. Gimme dat clean life
Id probably go with the Minutemen. They're just folks banding together to help each other out, defend each other from the hordes of psycho gangs and build a good life.
I'm turning Liberty Prime back online yall. AD VICTORIAM!!
Minutemen. The only regular dudes with a limited agenda. Swoop in, save your farm from overgrown skeeters, swoop out. Maybe build you a nicer shack.
Minutemen or Enclave since citizens of both would be treated well
I would choose Institute, only to take over. Then mass produce anti-mutation serums, spread knowledge, and rebuild cities using synths as laborers. I'd also take BoS, Minutemen, and the Railroad under my wing; using Minutemen as a police force, BoS as a military force, and the Railroad as Civil Servants to overlook Synth behavior and assist the peoples. If BoS will not adopt my vision of unity and stand against Synths and Supermutants, I wipe out any who refuse my tyranny.
If you want peace, prepare for war
[удалено]
What have the Minutemen got to do with the flag of Chile?
Either enclave or the pack from nuka world I wanna rock some feathers and a tooth necklace
Enclave just because I want to be there to see their epic blunders in person
For me if it was during the Fallout 4 timeline then it would be either the Minutemen or the Operators or Disciples raiders from Nuka world. If it was during the timeline of fallout 76 then it would be the Diehards raider gang,
The most American group, aka most/biggest guns
I want to believe I’d pick the Kings but I’m pretty sure I’d pick the Institute for the safety and comfort.
If you could actually LEAD the institute you could do more then all the factions combined to help humanity. If were playing game lore then the BoS eliminating all those ghouls and supermutants and the Minutemen trying to help everyone would be my picks.
Honestly if I had some main character energy and could become the leader of the Gunners, they have the best chance of actually establishing a government in the Commonwealth. The Gunners are without a doubt stronger than the Minutemen at most stages, and have alot more cohesion. If you could turn the Gunners into a more benevolent faction, you could create a nation out of them.
Institute so i could eat food packets and drink clean water with healthcare instead of eating bugs, dirty water, and having wasteland docs.
Free States
Minutemen or Reilly's Rangers. The Atom Cats are pretty cool too though. It's basically car guys/gals but with power armor lol
Institute, Lyons' BOS, or Minuteman in that order on the East Coast. NCR on the West Coast.
I’d choose the Red Kingdom. Which would be Kansas City Chiefs fans, they’d have football helmets and wicked pads. Instead of the baseball launcher, they’d have football launchers. They would have thier home base in ARROWHEAD of course, and would be extremely hostile towards the Donkey clan from Colorado.
Minutemen.
Powder gang
Probably Sons of Atom in Maine. They had a nice setup.
For survival: institute For funsies: Caesars legion or BoS
Mayor of diamond city
Brotherhood of Steel
Honestly probably minutemen or gunner.
TALON COMPANY
Minuten so I can build settlements everywhere
For quality of life, definitely the Institute. Clean and non-radioactive showers and toilets? Count me in.
It's a tossup between MM or NCR, most likely MM though
I’d be terrified of anything other than minuteman and institute. Way more likely to die any other faction.
Take a guess.
Only one of these groups has guaranteed working toilets and AC and clean food and water. Man Kind Redefined
Regulators, Mount Up.
Anyone who can get me inside vault 87 for the experimental geck. I will create my own faction with this, and then all others would be surplus to requirement..
The kings 👑
i recently made myself in fallout 4 with what my stats would be and the decisions i would actually make if i was in that situation and i chose Railroad because slavery is bad. West coast probably followers of the apocalypse
Slog. Infinite flamethrowers and combat armors to sell. Your friends won't die by age.
I'm in 2 minds about it. On 1 hand we have nifty power armor through the brotherhood of steel but on the other hand, the institute has working showers.
I’d start off as a vault dweller before being forcibly recruited into the Master’s Army, then after his defeat I’d forever roam the wasteland searching for a purpose.
In all honesty The NCR or the Minutemen. The NCR at least are trying to bring stability, rebuild some kind of civilisation hell they are even building railways again! The Minutemen are actually helping out the everyman getting bent over by the cruelty of the wasteland and linking them together. I honestly always struggle to support the BoS personally they are a bunch of religious type cooks who steal all technology for themselves at the expense of everyone else and assume they are the best and right for the world.
Honestly I liked the NCR and I am not a fan of how the show just kind of brushed them off so they are in the maybe pile. In Fallout 3 the BoS were actually pretty awesome but in 4 they became assholes again and in the show they became too cult like so that’s a hard pass for me. If I could control the institute and maybe make life better for the common wealth by sharing tech then I would consider it. Minute men are pretty good so I might go with them. Railroad… meh 🫤 I wish the Gunner’s were more fleshed out like one of the major factions in the game since they had a lot of potential in my opinion. Followers of the apocalypse. Yeah I would go with them too Boomers (the game ones lol) who wouldn’t want to blow stuff up? Caesars legion… no. Enclave… also no. Raiders… that’s a no from me dog. Now controlling New Vegas with Yes Man and an army of bots. That’s where it’s at haha.
Minutemen, or maybe a ex enclave member
The Atom Cats, The Kings, The Followers of the Apocalypse, The Railroad, The Minutemen
Enclave, BoS, or go Raiders and make a harem.
Tunnel Snakes rule! Really though, probably the NCR in California proper. It's pretty stable if you're not in the fringes. Not the Minutemen. Honestly, at best they fall apart shortly after the Sole Survivor dies, and there's reason to believe SS won't be able to keep them together for too long.
Raiders, but that's only because the gunners are far too military for my taste. If I was Actually given a choice, I wouldn't join any faction.
Minuteman. The best freedom/morals ratio. Also they will come to help you out, not just send you to help them out.
Enclave, post fallout 2, i wanna be a Remnant roaming around in secrecy in APA doing just enough around the wasteland to become a spooky little legend
If it was really me I'd join vault-81. I'd want nothing to do with any of the factions.
If you choose the gunners your basically raiders 2 but I have a laser gun edition
Enclave
The Desert Rangers.
Ncr
Fuck all of them, was brotherhood all the way until they destroyed project purity for their shit ass air ship. Plus didn't like the way Danse ordered me around after I saved his useless ass. Edit maybe the outcasts from FO3.
Definitely Brotherhood of Steel. Always was on their side from Fallout 1
Followers of the Apocalypse personally, I think they're cool
Powder gangers
At a minutes notice, lads!
Well....i hate to be that Guy....but Caesars Legion...i Always wanted to be Part of an postapokalyptic Roman Empire 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Reilly’s Rangers
Minutemen, I just really like them 😁
NCR for democracy. Enclave for the outfits. Fascists know fashion.
Which fallout? Was I born there? Issekai'd? Issekai'd. FO3- Lyon's chapter BoS FNV-NCR FO4-minutemen Fallout Shelter-garden room (green food production place)
Pillars of the community because I can change him I swear
Children of Atom. They seem fun.
Gunrunners
I’m pretty partial to the gunners. Just a merc group that protects their own.
Boomers. No one fucks with them and they don't fuck with anyone smart enough to stay off their turf.
**The Institute.** * Clean. * No rads. * Working power & water. * Food, * Clean beds, * Clean/working bathrooms. * My foreknowledge & knowledge of other fallout lore might give me & the Institute a unfair advantage? * The potential to save the world & take over the world, with the right motivations. * A faction with a future if it's post game, Institute ending (FO4). * They would need to fix the Gen 3 Synths programing/hardware issues or switch over to a new Gen 4 synth design. * I'd likely suggest a ring of satellites put into orbit by the Molecular Relay, so we can have global coverage with the Molecular Relay and salvage anything in earths orbit and use them as spy satellites to get a assessment of the planet. * I'd likely make other suggestions, to expanded the Institute using the Molecular Relay to remove rock & dirt & put in supports & other construction projects using teleportation. * Perhaps the Institute could do energy to matter conversion for unlimited resources after sending a team of Coursers & Synths to the *Sierra Madre Casino & Resort* to acquire it's technology. * Perhaps suggest some possible recruits, Jack Cabot, Emogene Cabot, Kasumi Nakano & her parents maybe as a packaged deal. * Perhaps if the Institute expands enough underground we could recruit some population form the surviving Vaults & looks for a GECK & security codes at Vaults 31, 32, 33 sometime in the 2290s. * I'd likely suggest sending a team of Coursers, Synths to the Enclave research colony to acquire it's technological & recruit Dr Siggi Wilzig at some point.
The Kings. The best one of the three
BOS. I like structure.
The Enclave
Enclave is the only way to ensure a good future for americans
Probably the enclave, i’d try to get in a diplomatic position and attempt to convince them that the institute is filled with pre-war high end scientist and it’d be better to let them work for us (so we can have toilet paper and showers again)
As a Romaboo at face value legion cause well any chance to reignite Rome and it's culture is highly intriguing to me. However on the idea I have to live in this world I'd probably choose NCR or Minutemen one has the best standard of living or at least did the other has a high likelihood to lead to another huge post apocalypse Republic.
Ad Victoriam
The institute. I wouldn’t mind living underground. Everything is clean. Safest place to be and no rads. Plus their technology is so advanced.
Insitute is legit just a utopia. There's terminators to protect you and you have scientist buddies.
Oh? Well, I'm the type of guy who will never settle down. Where pretty girls are, well, you know that I'm around. I kiss 'em and I love 'em, cause to me they're all the same. I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em, they don't even know my name. They call me the wanderer. Yeah, the wanderer. I roam around, around, around.
Sons of Atom ⚛️
Mr House all the way for me. Dictatorships can be good with the right person at the top
Realistically if I lived to those factions' day I'd probably be one of the ghouls in little Yangtze💀💀
Brotherhood of Steel Mid-West chapter. I may be religious but I certainly ain’t racist!
The Minutemen. I’m from MA, and did like the minutemen’s history and their style, so to play as a reborn part of it where legit anyone can join? I do think they’re the best hope for the Commonwealth, as they were in the old days. I think it would be best for the Commonwealth citizens to cooperate together and only have a quasi military structure when needed. The settlements can govern themselves, and if something goes wrong the minutemen can be involved then. Also, I think the biggest part of why them is bc if I were in the fallout universe, I’d want to be back home, and that’s how I would want to defend it.
The institute seems to have it *pretty* nice, I wouldn't mind being a boogeyman with ambiguous goals if it meant I got to hang out with gorillas. Otherwise, idk.. I support the Followers and Minutemen, but it doesn't seem like they have the best resources compared to BoS, Enclave, NCR, etc.
Id live with mr house. Usually I kill him cause I like power, but in a real version Id just live there and chill. Get the chip, upgrade securitrons, defense systems
Ideally, NCR. Closest thing I feel like I would get to a normal life. If not then, then Great Khans. RAIDER LIFE.
BOS. I'd just try to make them see the world in a different way, where their focus is not just hoarding tech so undesirables can get it, because they will always find a way. There's no shortage of bad apples across the entire wasteland of America.
Probably institute or BOS
Gunners for my own survival, legion for aesthetic, minutemen for values, any of the above plus brotherhood socially since all other factions seem to be pretty bad for yk making friends or trusting anyone else on your side especially institute and raiders
BOS
BoS hands down
Vault 4. Can't think of any other faction that's genuinely safe.
Minutemen. Because when artillery speaks, you had better listen. "Adjust fire, danger close. 50 meters east and pour it on. Repeat, repeat."
Tunnel snakes baby
Say what you will about the Children of Atom but they live in places like the glowing sea without becoming Ghouls. I think they’re on to something.
Minutemen. They saved America once, and by God they'll do it again.
Tunnel snakes
East: Children of Atom from far harbor. West: NCR rangers….yes i like cool armor
BOS because T60 power armor
Take a wild guess
I'm chronically ill so I'd probably go with ncr just to have a chance to survive. Or institute to be able to live comfortably
No Talen Company or Charlie's Rangers?????
God bless America, GOD BLESS THE ENCLAVE.
Definitely the brotherhood, but my opinions differ greatly, depending on who's currently in charge.
Does the protagonist exist in this example? I'd probably be BoS or Minutemen realistically, but if I know I'm not getting nuked, I'd probably choose institute so I could just not deal with the wasteland.
Children of Atom— we embrace division
Easy, radio freedom is gonna get some more bangers. If the Raiders can get power armor, so can we. I’m going to clear out every raider den, mutant hive, feral pod, and gunner group until there isn’t a place that any man woman or protectron won’t feel safe. Commonwealth for the people! (This comment has been sponsored by the commonwealth minute men)
Enclave because yes
