This is a question about Fallout 4. Why don't more people side with the Institute? Most of my friends says it's because what they do is wrong, or just simply wanking over the Brotherhood.
Sure most of the things they do are morally questionable, but so is most of the shit your character does throughout the game. Are people so caught up in their fantasy of being the "good guy" that anything that gets painted with some gray areas is immediately shunned?

Because its a shit game and they want the whole world its based in to die

I don't understand. Who wants the world to die?

Doesn't the institute want to replace everyone with synths? I don't like the idea of a world inhabited by machines that are programmed to think they're alive. Hurrr durrr isn't that what we are. Nope. Those things were coded to act human, behind that face is just some algorithm someone cooked up. So fuck the institute, fuck the rail road, fuck the brother hood. It's all about me and my bff Preston. They are the only sane ones

But... I dont wanna set the world on fire hunny...

I've been with the brotherhood since Alaska. Fuck everything else. LIBERTY PRIME WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

Aside from the white knight syndrome most rpers have while playing the game, it's mostly the fact that the Institute shat on the player character so many changes when it was entirely unnecessary. Why take only Shaun, split up the family, and kill one of the parents? Why not just take the while family, keep them together, and still use Shaun's DNA? Instead the Institute just let's Kellogg deep all over the situation. Of course, this is the only way Bethesda had to create character motivation, but it is in keeping with the Institute not being able to see the forest for the trees.

*times, not changes. Fucking autocorrect.

why are they kidnapping seemingly random people for no reason? why are they sending synth deathsquads to the surface? why are they literally making their slave labor robots sentient and self aware when they could have just used normal robots that didnt feel pain or emotion?

the institute is not a gray area, they're stupidly evil and full of dumb plot holes

Institute all the way bby, fuck normies and their settlements institute practically has synthetic organs, but their guns and armor are nerfed

The Brotherhood is more facist than Hitler and is very egoistic, the railroad are terrorists with no respect for human live and the Institute is the only faction, which will improve the world in long term, especially the lone survivor is the new Director. If you don't chose the Institute (or the minutemen) you are retarded.

Also, the wife/husband was technically refrozen after being shot. Should've been a post-endgame quest where you as institute director commissions another synth based on your spouse's DNA, "reprogram" it to think it's synth Shaun's parent, and make one happy family.

I dunno, its a game man. First playthrough I was just being a dick to everyone, second round I was nicer than jesus. Side note, you can taunt your old son while hes slowly dying. Its what you make of it I guess.

None of this matters if u just raid them all after

Yes, but than try to explain him/her why you have fucked half of the Commonwealth?

Sounds just fucked up enough for an actual quest too. May want to post that idea in the Bethesda forums in hopes of a mod.

Fock Preston. I been ignoring that dude since day

I sided with the Institute because I believe AI don't have souls and therefore don't have subjective experience of consciousness.

Unfortunately I didn't have enough dialogue choices to make my character agree with that, so I had to just imagine much of the story going the way I wanted it to.

The institute isn't morally questionable, they are straight up evil. Treating the commonwealth like one giant experiment, and doing lasting harm. And they do all this because they think they are better than the people of the commonwealth, but they aren't, far from it.

the only good faction is The Minutemen, and they are incompetent as fuck.

Kek

Yeah it was retarded how the Protag's only possible motive for joining the Institute is "because Dad" rather than because of accepting their ideology. I hated how my avatar kept disapproving of the Institute and I had no option to make her just agree with them unconditionally.

I wish Bethesda had actually played New Vegas and taken notes on how to make interesting evil factions.

I just don't believe he's my son, what proof is there? Should I just believe him because he says so? Plus me and the brotherhood been tight since alaska like the other dude said
Also i like the idea of controlling an army in power armor

Most of the Institute's action just don't make sense. Anything they do outside could be done better with less cost and more effectiveness.

Just think cameras, a secured are nobody dares to enter, and so on. Synths literally don't make sense. Mister Handy does everything they do, and does it more effectively. Infiltration of fools residing at the beach and farming seven crops is retarded.

I know that with the player character in charge, they could make sense, but the game would never be designed for you to actually change shit, so I went full Minuteman. I just couldn't ignore how retarded those scientists are.

At the beginning of the game after losing my son my character had a mental break with reality. For the majority of the game i existed as some sort of mother/father transgender murder machine and when I finally found my son all I could do was rejoice that he lived and help him.
I destoryed all other factions for the love of my son, all while wearing a beehive wig and a red sparkle dress.

Reply to this post if you beat Father to death as soon as he walked in and reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee'd around the room trying to get out before realizing you can't kill him.

Your spouse was already resisting when they were unfrozen, so they probably assumed that you would be the same way. Also remember that pretty much everyone from the Institute has lived their entire lives underground, so they probably wanted to get the fuck out of there quick because they were so afraid of the surface world. Besides, they only cared about results and figured having an unfrozen pre-war person around would cause more problems (Which it ultimately does after you're freed).

Haha shot that bastard in the face 1st time I saw him! Proceeded to murder everything in sight

They killed best waifu, also their shit is all retarded.

This is how it was ment to be played!

you played the game right
I had a similar backstory about going crazy after the murder/kidnapping but instead I went around only punching things to death while hyped up on any and all drugs i could find. Didn't beat the game on that playthrough yet though.

I believed in the Enclave, but since they were "SCARY BAD GUYS" they got shit on
.
The series is a joke. How is restoring a torn apart nation evil?

After spending most of fallout 4 trying really hard not to kill friendly things with proper names, having the institute be all, "Fuck everyone, kill the surface factions," was just a sigh of relief.

I still remember shooting that BoS fucktard-n-power armor as their stupid fucking baloon exploded.

I've never particularly cared for them. Not even Lyons and his crew.
To be honest I'm surprised they keep the Brother hood as a running faction. But I suspect it's for "HUUR DURR MUH BOXART"

>This is a question about Fallout 4.
Should be done as a porn.

Father did nothing wrong.

as a character, you have a choice to to do good things, i.e. do quessts the right way, or bad things, i.e. killing innocent people (PEOPLE, not monsters) stealing, pickpocketing etc. it wouldd depend on what your morals are whether you side with the Institute, or the Mages college or whatever the faction of your choice is in whichever RPG of your choice is

I just wanted to see the cool explosion

I sided against the Institute and blew them the fuck up, because I didn't appreciate my fuckwit son treating me like a field experiment.

So fuck him.

BROTHERHOD FO LIFE! Just verry sad that they cut content the fuck out of it though. apparently theres a video of cut voice lines of Danse and how you could end up making it better again... google "fallout 4 brotherhood of steel cut content" if you did not know of this :L

They're not retarded, they're just geeks. Science for science's sake. The whole Institute is literally a basement of nerds, throwing science at the wall to see what sticks.

They never planned on helping anyone, not ever.

Institute is made up of dickholes that shot my wife. Brotherhood doesn't like ghouls even tho they are super chill, like Hancock. Minutemen are the best if you ain't an edgy 12 year old.

> Respectable answer

>Fallout
>Edgy
Strong disliked this

Give it an X series frame and have robowaifu accompany you around the wasteland. It would certainly give more meaning to customizing your spouse at the begining of the game.

I sided with the institute OP. Murdered all them Brotherhood communists and the Railroad Warriors, whatevers the hell their name was.

Made liberty prime my bitch!

>Made liberty prime my bitch!
Holy fuck. I don't know why people like this robot.
THE FUCKER. HAS NUKES. ON. HIS. BACK.
You'd think someone might have exploited this.

Why were the Institute doing this anyway? Why were they replacing people?
