Their story should have been better.

Wouldn't it have been awesome if 111 had been full of soldiers that would take the place of the Minutemen, leaded by the player?

I dunno, seeing them all suffocate to death in Kellog's memories nicely made me think.

"You know, **** the Institute."

Honestly it's so sad. To have lived for so long to just be snuffed out for no reason like that. That more than anything makes me hate the Institute, as me devoid of the persona I usually use.

Sorry, late to this conversation so I might have missed it, but which faction do you feel the most affinity for in this game?

They still stole your son and killed your husband, that should be enough reason to hate them.

I was also quite disappointed that building was so easy and that people would rather live in shacks than is a Vault with clean water.

Clean water isn't as much of an issue as, say, the Capital Wasteland, because it would seem the the Commonwealth's groundwater is radiation-free. A bigger issue would be the radiation storms.

How can the ground water be clean when all the rivers are radio active?

And the bigger pumps can only be placed in water.

Unlike the capital wasteland water purifiers in fallout 4 seem really easy, and are quite plentiful. Makes me wonder why water was a huge issue in fallout 3, maybe it was just harder for the small settlements to provide themselves with water purifiers. So the BOS walks in with a huge shipment.

I suspect that the surface water is radioactive due to the radiation storms.

Eh, I could have blamed that on Kellog.

The rest?

The rest was all on them.

You could have the blamed killing all on Kellog too.

It doesn't work that way. The ground and surface water are connected.

Connected, but still separated by soil and rock. The soil may be filtering out the radioactive contaminants (remember, this is Zeerust science fiction, not reality), and/or the pumps may have primitive filters of their own.

well, honestly, there''s no chance rain is radioactive because vapor would filter out any radioactive contaminants.

It's why people were like ??? at Project Purity since a Water Purifer should NOT require Eldritch Technology of a dead world.

It's also stupid as they could have just woke them up got them to the institute and would have gotten a larger variety of cells for their synths as well as radiation free breeding stock.

The Institute is not good at acknowledging people other than themselves.

The point of Project Purity was NOT to build some water purifier. The long-term goal is to clean all the water around Washington, making it drinkable. Of course, how many decades this purifying would take is the real question.
