Hi guys, in the main storyline, I am at the point in which I must take out the Institute Courser and I tried it. Problem is after i pursue the quest a bit I get kinda stuck, for the factions do not give me additional stuff, so it seems. Now I have pretty much milked both Minutemen and RailRoad quests but the BoS remains stagnant. I did join and took that Fort Strong quest but no more quests after that? Seems kinda weird or am I just doing something wrong?

Cheers

The quest line for all faction freezes until you complete specific main quest, until you have the make the final choice which faction to support till the end.

You're doing something wrong. Check your list of quests and see if they are there awaiting selection.

Nothing waiting in the quests. I did the Fort Strong quest and then I was informed that Danse was supervising the extraction of Nukes or something. Since then, and aside from the patrol quests I can always do, I go no additional quests from them. I was under the impression that I would have to do more quests, even involving discovering the "true nature" of Danse and all, but nothing seems to be opening. Do I have to advance in the storyline and chose BoS as my faction or something else should happen before that?

Mind you I am asking this because I would like to milk up non main storyline quests before I advanced in that main stream. Any help?

As tinker Tom extracted the information from the corser chip? I think I had to do that in there somewhere.

Well I have gone back in my saves to before nailing the Courser. When I did that process I then was faced with not being able to talk to either Preston, Desdemona or Maxxon, because I could only engage in a conversation that would lead me to choosing a faction. My goal was to do more side quests, BoS or others, before I advanced in the main storyline. Is that possible at all?

Everything branches after you kill kellog. You have to go to Tinker Tom with the corser chip and then go back to virgil, who will give you the plans for the molecular relay.

At this point I've been told you can give the plans to and recover them from all of the factions as long as you give it to Sturges last. As far as I can tell on my two playthroughs you become hostile to two factions no matter what, the minutemen and one other faction will be all that's left when the dust settles.

So if I understand correctly, after i talk to Tinker Tom and Virgil and I make my choice, the Minutemen will never be hostile to me? So if I pick them will both RR and BoS be hostile? If that is so, I will chose RR, so I have my 2 favorite factions on my side. I don't really like the BoS' military posture and their lack of the ability of seeing the grey in life. My only problem with this is that it seems I cannot get more side quests to the main story, am I right? If so, this Fallout seems to have much less going aside than the previous ones, from Fallout 1 to present... (yeah I am an old fart).
