Minuteman

"Another Settlemen-" "SHUT UP PRESTON"

*some minuteman were harmed in this process

I've played through the Fallout 4 main questline probably a dozen times to date, maybe two dozen. And I have ideas about how things could / should progress after the game ends. Most importantly, I think the social and technological progress made should not be lost.

I think the Minutemen / Railroad (and optionally BoS, though they're deeply problematic) ending is the best. Destroy the Institute, allow the evacuation of the Institute's personnel. That's all in-game.

Post-game, I think Solé, in her role as General of the Minutemen, and considering her pre-war training as an attorney, should do the following (in no particular order):

• Disband all militias other than the Minutemen within the New England Commonwealth, including the Gunners and all Raider bands. Offer amnesty to any willing to disarm. Forcefully disband all who refuse.

• Establish a reliable postal service (can be based on in-game Provisioner personnel and routes).

• Use the Mechanist's factory and robot workers to facilitate construction / reconstruction of safe and effective housing for all.

• Call a constitutional congress. Establish civilian government. Civil rights for non-feral ghouls, synths, supermutants, and machine intelligences.

• Subordinate the Minutemen to civilian authority. Divide Minutemen into internal / policing forces and external / military forces. Possibly rename internal / policing forces to "Marshals."

• Recruit former Institute personnel to investigate Zetan activity and technology, starting with the crashed saucer near Oberland Station. Full disclosure of extraterrestrial activity to public. Possibly base this initiative at the old ArcJet building.

• Recruit former Institute personnel to reinstall the beryllium agitator in the reactor at Mass Fusion to provide clean power for the Commonwealth. Use the Mechanist's workforce to reestablish powerlines to all communities.

• Establish exploratory corps, possibly organized under the Minutemen or BoS, to determine what other US / Canadian / Mexican remnant populations exist. Eventually extend to European / Asian, then African and Australian, and potentially Antarctic exploration.

• Send diplomatic delegations to other known civilization groups. Capital Wasteland, &c. Expand as appropriate following exploration efforts as in the previous point.

What have I missed? What would you add to the list, or remove from it, and why?

Minutemen: you try to do the most good that you can.

Institute: your a kidnapper.(change my mind)

Railroad: you like synths.

Bos: you hate synths or your a tech goblin

I have decided to begin a Lucy MacLean run. I stayed a pacifist until Conrad, and now I need a faction to join.

I was thinking either Minutemen or Railroad, because they're both morally "good". I need confirmation.

Just a thought but obviously I'm sure we're all aware the BOS would wipe Goodneighbor out primary because of it's large Ghoul presence and crime rare however I'm curious if the community thinks the Brotherhood would destroy the memory den's technology or reposs it due to their beliefs that outsiders shouldn't be in possession of pre-war technology/artifacts that could be a danger in the wrong hands. Especially since there are now 2 confirmed endings to Fallout 4 BOS or Minuteman

Wire and the raiders of Libertalia used to be Minutemen. Is there a mod that lets you get them back?

I’m working on a project about a group of Minutemen remnants before the game starts. They use mainly guerrilla tactics to combat larger groups of enemies. Well, I wanted to ask this community for some advice! If you’d change anything, like their ranking or weapons, I’d greatly appreciate your input!

Had an interesting idea but I'm not really sure how to go about it, I wanna make a "general turned overboss" and that might seem cliche. It's one thing I haven't tried yet, instead of doing someone else's build I wanna make my own. Should I prioritize splitting the perks between a general and overboss through the whole game? Or spend the first 25 levels on general perks and the other 25 on overboss? Any cool PS4 mod recommendations to help the process will be appreciated.

I am nearing the point in fallout 4 where I choose a faction. having a hard time choosing between The Brotherhood or The Minutemen. any tips?

Assuming that the good karma NCR ending is "canon," then would the Republic move east past the Colorado? I personally could see them taking former Legion territory and moving through to Montana, maybe splitting South towards Texas and New Mexico. I think they'd eventually reach Appalachia as well. I can see the Commonwealth and the Capitol Wasteland being a problem for any expeditionary force as, while the Minutemen might be open to cooperation with New California, I can see the East Coast Brotherhood being xenophobic and hostile, especially with Maxson as High Elder. But anyway, what does everyone else think?
