Brahmin Cavalry Commander
at least the goodie goodie minutemen _could_ make sense in the right context and without the silly practice of making random people their "General" for reasons unknown.

General is actually a swear word due to a diet on books on shitty and dumb commanders.

If what I remember they kidnapped those poor innocent souls for their inflitration program like the DC mayor and that warwick then used those innocent souls to test FEV on them because reasons. It boggles my mind why they had to include the Orcs and FEV in this game when there is no context to them besides more shit to shoot at but Super Muties make a fallout game a Fallout game amirite?
Mr Fish
Slippy sloppy, The
So if all the super mutants are people they abducted and created synth infiltrators for... Er... Where are all the synths? And hell, all those super mutants running around, that's one hell of a lot of humans. I guess a lot of them could be raiders though. Still. 'That' many people being abducted and suddenly super mutants starts to churn out after each abduction? Makes you wonder why the hell anyone would stay in Boston.

My thoughts exactly, makes you wonder. Apparently there is synth replacement in your own settlements, sometimes your settlers will be replaced by a synth at sometime even if you completed the Institute quest line which is retarded.

So... Boston is a shitty hellhole that everyone should leave. Sounds like DC to be honest.

At least the people of boston have farms instead of just eating 200 years spoiled food.
Dr Fallout

At least... sure those farms would get raided way too many times though.

Kept you waiting huh?
Too bad they still live in dumps and barely have any towns let alone cities.
Well yeah, it took ovre 200 years for the player to wake up and build those cities for them.

You're the general because Preston is the single most self aware character in FO4, he knows he sucks ass and can't lead shit.
Dr Fallout

Preston sure knows that killing raiders means civilization will progress.
He sure knows that he's a useless NPC and is not allowed to do shit by himself because the player needs to be the hero.
MercenarySnake
Kept you waiting huh?
Absolutely! It means that the raiders that walk from one side of the map to the other to harass the two settlers for their...junk? Will not harass the settlement...until they repawn in a couple in-game days.

Exactly! What a way to expand cities and create empires and better tech no?

The difference is, the folks at Big Mountain were supposed to seem worthless and incompetent. Old World Blues was supposed to have wacky and crazy characters, as well as pointless and slightly sinister experiments, and despite the Think Tank being incompetent morons, I don't think they were badly written
The Institute however, were intended to be written as a serious, dark and edgy faction, but they ended up making no logical sense whatsoever.

This ghoul has seen it all
When the main antagonist faction of your game is dumber than the Joke Faction of a DLC of the previous game you gotta know you fucked up. And the weirdest part is that some people actually think FO4 explores transhumanism in any way... or even that the Institute is well written....
Dr Fallout

Yeah, the Big Mountain seem all smarter and logical all of a sudden...
