Fallout 4 has 4 main factions, these are the Brotherhood of Steel, The Institute, The Minutemen and the Railroad. I can draw a comparison to real life American parties with these 4, as follows:
Brotherhood of Steel = Republicans The Institute = The Greens Minutemen = Democrats Railroad = Anonymous - Sup Forums, etc
BoS = right authoritarian Institute = left authoritarian railroad = right libertarian minutemen = left libertarian
did you even fucking play the game
Dominic Barnes
>railroad >Sup Forums
Saged. That's like saying Sup Forums would free the slaves or smuggle Jews out of camps.
Henry Parker
I think you have your minutemen and railroad backwards
Brayden Gutierrez
isn't the railroad supposed to be like Harriet Tubmans? I don't really see any similarities with the factions desu senpai baka
Brandon Gomez
Yes over 220 hours. Give me a break.
Elijah Taylor
BSteel=Facist Policestate Institute=Eco Communist Minutemen=Constituional Democracy Railroad=Ancaps
Carson Hill
I'd say you have the minutemen and the railroad mixed up. I see the minutemen as liberatians who believe in freedom for the people, whereas the railroad are more liberal with there "synthetic lives matter" bullshit
Lincoln Ramirez
Which would you support?
Jose Carter
Fascists are always the most fun in gaming.
Aiden Baker
HH this is correct
David Turner
those are all ghey
FEV master race
Landon Wood
R A R E A R E
Justin Hall
BSteel for law enforcement Institute for civic research Minutemen for governance Railroad for the economy
Angel Rodriguez
SeeDo you really think that Sup Forums would bring out all the jews from concentration camps and then blow them all up? Think again
Ryder Edwards
You have Minutemen and the railroad switched r-tard.
Minutemen are the ron paul libertarians of fallout, while the railroad are dumbass self righteous liberal activists who will damn mankind to save a few synths.
Easton King
New Vegas is way better for this kind of comparison.
Jaxson Wood
Why the fuck would you waste your time with that shit game instead of playing New Vegas?
Jaxon Brooks
Correct.
Minutemen - conservative. preserve lives and the homeland. Institutions prevail.
Railroad - liberal. The ends justify the means. Break down institutions, including human identity.
Aiden Myers
BOS or the Institute. The only reason I supported BOS was because who watches the watchers of machines?
Andrew Rivera
Nice hours played. I'm bored of Fallout 4 anyway though. Can't even be fucking bothered to finish the Nuka world DLC. I'm level 63, what level are you?
I supported the Institute, they were advanced, and I wanted a nice place I could go that is radiation free and pure. On occasion just go there, away from all the decay and scrap on the surface-side. I like to role-play.
Connor Taylor
Ok I agree with this one.
Robert Perez
i agree with this one
Aiden Wright
I agree. TRY to do some missions for Railroad... Some Tinkering Uncle Tom tells me what to do.
Isaac Nguyen
This Railroad is #synthlivesmatter
Jaxon Walker
i am missing 200 hour since i built a tower from a laptop, or maybe it is there idk how steam works
Henry Evans
this is definitely the most accurate but u forgot that fallout 4 sucks
Blake Clark
I backed the Minutemen personally. They were the only faction that took the world "as it is" and sought to make it better. All the other factions were all about destroying the world and building some bullshit utopia from its ashes. Like that ever works.
There was also something really satisfying about leading them from literally nothing, to building a powerful institution that could take on both the Brotherhood of Steel, and the Institute.
I have 3 different. One is level 42, the second is level 70+ and the last is level 26
Cameron Barnes
Sup Forums would not be railroad faggot. BOS for life
Christian Martin
Republicans were the Enclave in Fallout 2.
Or were they the Supermutant Army led by the Master in Fallout 1?
Or possibly New California Republic?
Ugh, Fallout 1 and 2 were so much smarter than the Bethesda abortions.
Adrian Martinez
ENCLAVE FOREVER!
Jacob Nelson
The way I saw the Minutemen, they were populists who appreciated the concept of individual effort, and realized that individual effort alone would get you eaten by cannibals, or ripped apart by a death claw.
So they formed a Government. They don't really think about it that way, but that is what they are doing. They create safe zones for settlers. The Settlers come, start living their lives under the protection of the Minutemen. In exchange for this protection, the Settlers provide resources to help pay for the upkeep of the Minuteman institution. This allows them to hire more Minutemen, arm them, and expand new settlements.
The Minutemen are basically a proto-state, and exploration for what caused early nations to form historically. Threats from barbarian raiders, wild animals and so on. Its very different from the other factions, who in their own way are not trying to build something new, and are instead trying to bring back some perceived past glory days.
In that respect, the Minutemen are much more interesting then the others. But I get the impression their themes got lost in the grind of figuring out how to place shitty sidewalls.
Ian Cooper
The Institute- The establishment/NWO BOS- Slightly less worse, but equally misguided establishment Minutemen- Logical liberty-minded normal everyday people. The RR-Misguided people who think they're doing the right thing, but don't understand that the synth abominations aren't even close to human.
Isaac Jackson
THIS IS NOW A FALLOUT NEW VEGAS THREAD NIGGA
FO4 FANS NEED TO HANG THEMSELVES
who is Sup Forums's faction in New Vegas?
Leo Bell
How old are you all? You remind me of Alexander Jahans whos source of political reflection is Skyrim. Stop being stupid and go read a book, don't use a game made up by liberals as an analogue or even example of reality. This game is filled false dychotomy, false choices, false everything that doesn't represent reality.
Isaiah Turner
ENCLAVE REMNANTS!
Grayson Clark
Sided with NCR on my first playtrough, then I went with House
Aaron James
Minutemen all the time baby.
If only their quests were more fleshed out. It seems like Bethesda got part way with them, then forgot they existed.
Brayden Sullivan
The secret Father Elijah ending is the only Sup Forums approved ending.
Lincoln Wilson

Jonathan Hall
Nice settlement. I've founded every settlement and put rudimentary food, water, and radio establishments there.
My main settlement is pic related, I built it and played 200 hours in the first two weeks the game came out. Then just got bored of it, the DLC coming up was shit. And I got bored of killed Alpha Death Claws in Deep South.
When I get around to it, I'll load up my base with 20 female Raiders, all dressed in red fancy dresses. Performing tasks around my HQ.
Levi Green
>railroad >right
>literally composed of numales who say synth lives matter
David Watson
>Brotherhood of Steel = Republicans >The Institute = The Greens >Minutemen = Democrats >Railroad = Anonymous - Sup Forums, etc
This is bullshit though
God I fucking hate this autistic board and the useless faggots than reside on it
Alexander Hill
The institute is the final sacred redpill
The nay sayers are all cucks
Brotherhood- neocons/ democrat lite Railroad-sjws Minutemen-libertarians
no remember. They decide to tax the water supply kek
Christopher Diaz
yesman seems more just anarchist.
ancaps would immediately start fighting over private property claims.
Ryan Rivera
>Joining anything but the institute
The only faction capable of forming a government and (eventually)work the land.
Praise father
Aaron Baker
>yesman >anarcho-capitalist
Adam Young
>forgot
politics suck.
Bentley Clark
well, they should actually accept House's property claim.
Camden Stewart
>Joao gets it
Yeah its like pol gets off on killing their own son from a man on a cuck blimp captained by a nigger.
Joining the institute, you realize its your dna in the synths so you spread your own dna all over the wasteland. Also you get a maximum comfy apartment in the institute.
Jose Cooper
This.
New Vegas is the FO gold standard.
Tyler Butler
Get on my fucking level fags
Sebastian Campbell
Trips of truth
Carter Ramirez
Cool autism fortress
One day ill post some of my settlements.
Eli Moore
you are right. Pol/-kids don't even have the right to vote and just want to be different, but not like special snoflakes, they chose the different path to marginilize themselves from the majority in an attempt to boost their ego. Because not being like everyone feels good somehow, but they don't even do anything, like reading philosophers or scholars, they just play games, express radical points of view on imageboard, and watch right wing youtubers.
Levi Cruz
Got a nice camp set up
Ethan Bell
Sup Forums is just for fun. that's why the memes are so dank.
Eli Wilson
>HELLO DERE
Where did he get you Sup Forums?
Anthony Myers
The Lightsaber mods are pretty sweet
Cameron Morris
>Play this game. >Put points into upgrading the weapons. >Basically a god at level 20~ which is easy as shit to reach. >Oh well, I'll go and liberate some villages. >"YOU NEED TO BUILD CAMP DEFENSES!!" >Build a handful of turrets, no raider attacks ever again in any of the camps. >Build some crops and beds. >Thank you great leader!
That game was boring and piss easy. New Vegas was far superior.
Kevin Garcia
On the way to NCR Correctional
Grayson Howard
Same senpai
Juan Harris
this thread sounds like it is full of damn synths and synth sympathizers.
Benjamin Richardson
>Where did he get you Sup Forums?
Right when I was about talk to the drifter with the guitar by the billboard on the highway somewhere. I thought they were working together, the guitar guy being bait and the bottle cap guy waiting in ambush.
I panicked, tapped through the dialogue in a second to exit the conversation and blew his head off with a caravan shotgun at point blank range. But then I immediately realized that was a mistake and loaded a save I made 30 seconds prior, like a scumbag.
Jace Carter
>Not killing him and taking his special caps
Samuel Gonzalez
I was actually thinking about this a few months ago.
Brotherhood - Authoritarian Right Institute - Authoritarian Left Railroad - Libertarian Left Minutemen - Libertarian Right
Isaiah Barnes
Are you meming? You got some of them right, but if you want to be close to the current parties it would probably be: Brotherhood of Steel-Republicans Institute-Democrats Minutemen-Libertarians Railroad-Greens
Switch Railroad and Minutemen and you good.
Ryder Mitchell
I wish I had this problem.
every goddamn day I get "Abernathy Farm needs help with a ghoul problem..." messages, and every fucking time I go there those assholes are surrounded with enough turrets and defenses to make my own level 90 character think twice about attacking them. Inevitably, I have to go all the way to fucking College square or a bus depot, kill like 10 things with my god-tier weaponry, then walk back to the same grumpy bitches who have fully working water, food, and electricity. These people live like post-apocalypse kangz and somehow manage to be miserable.
The most annoying thing? its only that one settlement.
James Morgan
The Institute is what Sup Forums would want to be. >the world above ground is dead and beyond saving >leave us alone while we shitpost all day underground
Oliver Clark
Railroad - put the live of a machine above an human kive
Institute - creates robo waifus and kill anyone who they find problematic
Mman - actually ok, they just want to live
BoS - clear the heretic. There is a reason that Liberty Prime did not needed to be reprogramed, he saw communist on the institute
Jordan Cruz
That picture
> when you go to hang out with your old brotherhood pals from back in the day but you brought your ghoul friend with you.
Cameron Sullivan
Ideologically I prefer minuteman. But after 200 hours I am considering whether to side with BoS or Institute. BoS has badass armors, institute has nice facility and my son.
Bentley Ortiz

Carson Thomas

Samuel Peterson
You can make a new son, you won't have the chance to make badass and powerful friends again.
Lincoln Gonzalez
I picked the Institute because
A. You run the faction, and my character would run it differently than Father
B. Even if shit got to dystopian tier, at least it would be that way in better conditions to fight in, who knows maybe even LGH tier.
C. EVERYONE ELSE WAS FUCKING RETARDED (except the minutemen, they just wanted to keep the peace, and they'll follow their General and whichever side he/she chooses.)
BoS ; Fug robuts, all yer tech is MINE, everyone but us is a disgusting mutant to be PURGED
RailRoad ; Dumbfucks that fight on emotional choices
I mean holy fuck, at least the Institute sits down and thinks things over.
William Phillips
raiders for life nigga
Dylan Taylor
>Railroad >Anything other than SJW
Jesus fuck, you are some kind of peon OP. New Vegas would go right over your head even worse than 4.
Anything other than this: Lyons East Coast BoS: 90's Clinton-era left-leaning Neocons Maxon East Coast BoS: Bush-era right-leaning Neocons Institute: Technocrats with few real world comparisons, maybe some Stalinist/Leninist streaks Railroad: Far-left SJW welfare state refugee synth lives mathere retards Minutemen: Glorious libertarian paradise of confederated settlements for mutual defense where you get to play the anarcho-capitalist kingpin in the confederation
