wuwuwuwuwu Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Hi,I'm currently right before the quest "Intitutionalized" starts and I'd like to ask what options I have for keeping both the BoS and the Railroad alive. Like the impatitient f*#@ I am, I have already spoiled myself and so I know Danse is a Synth and that Glory dies during the attack of the BoS on the Railroad. So my specific question would be how I manage to progress so far in the BoS questline until Danse gets his quest but without attacking the Railroad and without Glory dying (She presumably dies in every questline, but lets just say that her wherabouts in some questlines are a lot less clear than in others).

EvilGeoff Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Readers digest condensed version: This is going to end up being _primarily_ a Minuteman play through.#1 - You can progress with the main story up to "Reunions." You can start, but Do NOT finish Reunions. #2 - When the Prydwen shows up, you can go to the Airport and talk to any BOS personnel there (quest is "Reveille") or go straight to Cambridge police station after hearing the radio call on military frequency AF95 (which will complete "Reveille" even if you don't go to the Airport. Hook up with Paladin Danse and do BoS quests "Fire Support" and "Call to Arms", then do at least one quest for Knight Rhys ("Cleansing the Commonwelath") and one for Scribe Haylen ("Quartermastery"), then do "The Lost Patrol" where you find Paladin Brandis - talk him down from being crazy. You can do "Semper Invicta" here, but DO NOT complete "Shadow of Steel" at this point. #3 - Finish "Reunions" and do "Dangerous Minds"#4 - If you have not done so, find the Railroad ("Road to Freedom"). You will get "Tradecraft", but DO NOT advance the quest yet.#5 - Advance along the main questline - "The Glowing Sea", "Hunter/Hunted", and "The Molecular Level" Use Sturges with the Minutemen to decipher the plans to build the signal interceptor in "The Molecular Level".#6 - If you have not done so already, you can do the Minuteman quests "Taking the Castle", "Old Guns" and "Inside Job". At some point Preston will give you "Form Ranks" - DO NOT complete this quest yet.#7 - Start "Institutionalized" and get yourself banished from the Institute by arguing with Father when you first arrive, or finish "Institutionalized" then get banished by busting a cap in someone's ass. DO NOT talk to Father after completing Institutionalized, DO NOT complete "Synth Retention" or any other Institute quest.#8 - You will get "Defend The Castle". DO NOT GO THERE YET. Nothing will happen to the Castle until you arrive on site.#9 - Go back to the BOS and complete "Shadow of Steel". Do "Tour of Duty". You will get "Show No Mercy". DO NOT even start to advance the quest, just fast travel off the Prydwen flight deck before you even get on the vertibird.#10 - You can finish "Form Ranks" at this point. And now you can go to The Castle and finish "Defend The Castle". You can start "The Nuclear Option" with the Minutemen, but DO NOT advance the quest yet.#11 - Head back to the Railroad and finish "Tradecraft". You can accept and do a few of the radiant and side quests ("Weatherhvane", "Mercer Safehouse", "Butcher's Bill" "Randolph Safehouse", etc) for the Railroad.#12 - Complete "The Nuclear Option" and give the evacuation order. Done. Institute gone, Minutemen, Railroad and BoS not shooting at each other.A similar, but alternate quest route that goes somewhat farther up the faction questlines is here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilGeoff Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Also, in the quest progression I used above (I can't speak about the results from the alternate video) Glory can still be found in Railroad HQ, but she doesn't interact with you, and all the NPC's talk about missing her, as if she's dead. OH! And PAM with the Railroad will occasionally try to get you to whack BoS patrols after you nuke the Institute. You can simply not complete them. She'll give you other quests to whack the random courser here and there. Edited May 19, 2016 by EvilGeoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
