Wolfskin75 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) I have played through the game as a the Minutemen General and took down the Institute. I have been watching Lore videos and apparently if you get into the institute and get kicked out. if you go back to Desdemona she tells you the Railroad can't help you have to get help from the Minutemen. (I am assuming by this time you have taken out the Prydwen and Glory has been killed.) Do you start BACK in the middle of some Minutemen quest? and skip the glowing sea... and that whole rescue the "cure" for the FEV virus.... I am confused.. has anyone done this before? .... apparently new information has been provided to me. You can attack the brotherhood as a Minuteman general... interesting.

dark47 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 You should be able to go back to Preston and he'll tell you Sturgess has info on getting back into the Institute. (You DID get the holotape from him before you entered the Institute and do the net scan and then return it to him. Right? OIK, first I should ask, did you get into the Institute with the minutemen's help? or the railroad's?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeonsLegend Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Yea what happens is that the Railroad will exclude themselves from the main questline if their own main questlines are invalidated. Their own questline includes rescuing Synths from the Institute. Being kicked out of the Institute in any way will make that impossible. That's why she points you to the Minutemen. This also means that you either have to proceed with the Minutemen or the Brotherhood. As long as you aren't enemies with them that is also an option. Minutemen is the fallback default. You will always be able to complete the game through them. Railroad, BoS and Institute are optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Isn't the quest to take out the railroad done before the BoS??? Or is it optional which order you do it in? (I have only done an institute playthrough once......) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I have only done an institute playthrough once......)The institute gives you two quests in this regards. The Railroad is first, but I'm not sure if it's mandatory. The BoS is the final mission as part of the main story. BoS will also assign you to kill the Railroad, similar to the Institute, but then has the Institute as the final mission like all the others.

StormWolf01 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 There's a mod that allows you to spare the railroad, if you kind of prefer not to wipe them out.https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/20330 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormWolf01 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 LOL!Well, it's always an option. I actually kinda like Glory, the assaultron they've got, and Desdemona (After she pulls the cob out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
