This is probably the first group that you joined, and is one of the easiest to stick with throughout the game. We’ll run down some of the differences between the groups to help you decide which to stick with permanently. So, which faction should you choose? Each has their own pluses and minuses, so the one you end up with is totally up to you. If you reach one of these points you might want to stop and do some of the other faction’s missions for a while, until you’ve decided which to choose.
Where these divergence points are will be easily identifiable, as a warning will come up letting you know that taking on this mission will have permanent ramifications. However, at certain points the objectives of each group will diverge, and you can quickly become a permanent enemy of one faction or another. You can even progress a decent amount in each of their quest lines before any real choice has to be made. However, the question that comes up later in the game is, which faction to choose as a permanent spot.Īt first you should definitely join all four.
We’ve previously shown you how to find and join two of these, click here for the Railroad and here for the Institute.
These are the Minutemen, the Brotherhood of Steel, the Railroad, and the Institute. A third and fourth get added along the way, making up the entirety of the faction choices contained in Fallout 4. Starting out in Fallout 4 you’ll pretty quickly locate at least two factions.
