So I sided with my son, killed everyone in the Railroad and annihilated the BoS... But when it's all said and done Nick gives me a disappointed speech making me feel bad and my son dies anyways. I think I'll go back to the brotherhood of steel... I liked them better.

What are your thoughts on the Institute ending?

what did he say? i was having Piper as my companions and she didn't say much on which side i go with.

As for the Institute ending I feel it is a bit short, you only need to get the Reactor and also handle the BioScience guys lock out. But I feel that the whole thing can go longer like doing each division some quests beside destroy BoS and Railsroad.

I was hopping for some longer and bigger plots twist but the whole thing finish quick. In a way I think the multi faction implementation done in New Vegas was better and more fun. Even they are overlapping and kinda the same but at least they have different side of their own story and solution.

e.g.

* you can friend/ignore/destroy boomer

* you can destroy all factions and become the king, or pick a side

the thing i kinda like is a lot of quests are less generic compare to previous game. but maybe because of this the number of quests per faction seem much less than before

Nick Said something along the lines of, "This is what you wanted? You murdered the entire underground railroad and destroyed the Brotherhood just to make sure that those institute boogeyman can keep killing and kidnapping people?"

You can argue that it was for a better future but he doesn't buy it, and frankly neither do I. You're the director, but can you really make change? Also, are there any other perks to finishing the Institute main story, besides quests?

I had Dogmeat with me while I killed the Railroad and BOS because I figured my companions wouldn't have liked me for that. I immediately went and found Nick to make sure he was still around and he gave me the same speech but after that I asked him about our relationship and he said it was fine. Honestly, I spend 3/4 of my time with the institute thinking they would turn on me and surprised me with what ended up happening. Still feel they could have made the story pull me in a little more. When I first got to the institute I swore "father" wasn't really Shaun or maybe a Synth. Allie at the institute said the divisions in the labs might have some work for me but I haven't looked into that yet. Saved right before turning on BOS so I'm going to see what they're ending and The Railroad do.
