Trying to figure out how far you can go in the main quests before you have to choose for sure...

I do know, I'll end house wins when it comes to killing off the brotherhood.

I do know I'll run the other factions as allies, so will take a couple hits from the ncr (but can boost that back up easily enough)

Plan to install yes man and go independent (figure a couple quests can be left to do for ncr rep though legion is going to crash hard...)

But want to maximize what I can do quest wise before being stuck with hunting parties after me (too many npcs die it seems)
