re: **Official Fallout 4 Thread** (Links and videos in OP)

I think whenever I get time to play again, I'm just going to go back to previous save. Kinda sucks because I got to like level 59 going through the Institute quests, and on the final turn-in I got lucky and Idiot Savant hit and gave me 2.5 levels. But I want to experience the other endings without starting all over on my settlements. There's still a part of me that says I can make way better settlements and a better character now that I understand the game, though, and it's nagging at me to start over for that reason.

I had the same dilemma with Skyrim. I wanted to try other classes but didn't want to start over for a while.. then after a few months of not playing I came back to it on a new character and beat it again. Perhaps that's the route to take with FO4 for me.

It will let you know before you make enemies of other factions. That starts about 5 missions into the institute questline.

You can even continue the Institute quest line, while not pissing off the minutemen, if your charisma is high enough when the Institute/Minutemen mission happens.

I killed a bunch of BoS during bunker hill (didn't realize I didn't need to for a while), but they weren't my enemies until the game specifically said "doing this will make you enemies with BoS"

I think I'm ready to side with a faction and finish the game. My weapons are set, I have ballistic weave, and I've done nearly everything I feel like doing.

The game doesn't reset, right? It lets you keep building and exploring without starting a new character?

Yep. You roll through an ending sequence and it plops you back in the world post-ending.

Finished finally. Need to take a Fallout break.

Father had no idea. Poor bastard thought he was sending me to kill Desdemona, only to have me show back up with her and wreck that place.

He'd been a bad boy in the years since he was kidnapped, so I punished him with a railroad spike through the head, then stole his _____ to replace the ___ I lost.

Geez, there have been spoilers all over this damn thread! But whatever...edited.

I'm pretty sure you could infer that your faction has to take down the institute at some point, right?

I've seriously been thinking about starting over. I have learned a lot on this character and know somethings I want to do differently. i also want to do a better job with my settlement management. I've unlocked a ton that I have done absolutely nothing with.

Do you ever actually run out of side quests? I am lvl 61 and just went inside the institute for the first time. Once the main story is finished, are you done with everything? I realize you can still rape and pillage until you've killed everything on the map but after that...

Yeah. They did a good job imo with the glowing sea. You're not at abernathy farm anymore that's for sure.

It's pretty big. A lot to explore. Pretty barren but that makes sense. Lot of stuff underground
