Dvorge Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 was wondering if it would make more cents for the railroad to want to help synths to control them an as such they might want to take over the institute maybe instead of blowing it up?

IneptEuropean Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 All factions (except the Institute) nuke the Institute, and it's stupid for all of them, all of whom would benefit from taking it over. Even the BoS could then selectively destroy what they consider too dangerous and become "custodians" of the rest. Since you have to comprehensively defeat Institute forces before you can nuke it, nuking it is always pointless vandalism. However this much of a change to the main story is beyond what a mod can do. Some mods avoid the ending but none can change it. I don't think a working Institute controlled by another faction is a technical possibility.

It's just the amount of work required, and all the changes that would be needed to implement something like this. I very much agree with you, for folks that want to help rebuild the commonwealth, destroying the institute is way beyond stupid. There is such a huge amount of useful technology there, the idea of simply nuking it, it insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IneptEuropean Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Fair enough then - possible, but a huge amount of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoNin1971 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 From a BoS viewpoint I can understand nuking the place. Helping to rebuild is not their mo/goal. They only care for technology and obliterating everything 'dangerous'....but for the other factions, why would you? At least its not like Fawkes saying "I might be perfectly immune, but script says you must go in and die." - (at least, that's what it means) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
