This isn’t to say that you can’t mix it up and do quests for every faction, but in the latter stages of the main story, you will have to make the choice to align yourself with one faction, and by doing so cast out another. Not only does each faction give you a series of its quests to go on, but an allegiance to certain factions will profoundly impact the main storyline. Some of the game's most challenging ethical dilemmas come from contact with that agency.Just like its predecessors, you will meet a few different groups or ‘factions’ along the way in Fallout 4.

Their story line is full of call-signs, secret missions, and a very definite animosity against the Institute. If you're interested in subversive themes, cloak-and-dagger, or freedom above all else.If you're interested in playing as a warrior of the human race.They allow you to eventually gain control of much of the surface of the Commonwealth and call allies and artillery from every direction. If you're interested in Settlement and developing a pool of followers.Your Faction choice is best dictated by two factors: your playstyle and your role-playing ambitions. It is possible to finish Fallout 4 as a member of any one Faction. In the end, Fallout 4's story will be largely defined by the Faction decisions you make. Feel free to experiment and quest with all of them. After encountering the Institute, a player may also ally with the organization without immediately jeopardizing their relationship with previously-allied Factions. A player may gain favor as a Minuteman, a Brotherhood Initiate, and a Railroad member all at the same time. Rather, each Faction is endeavouring to act ethically in a complicated and dangerous world.Īt the opening of the game, players may progress through quest lines related to all four Factions. No one Faction is necessarily "good" or "evil" in any definitive sense. The Institute's mysterious motives involve the development and exploitation of synthetic life. The Brotherhood of Steel hope to create a stable, militaristic, and well-armed haven for human civilization.

The Railroad seek to help the Synths created by The Institute to escape and enjoy an independent existence. The Minutemen seek to promote the development of Settements ad stability across the Commonwealth. The four primary Fallout 4 factions are each aligned toward different goals and interests.
