Siding with The Brotherhood also allows players to form an alliance between Minutemen and The Brotherhood. However, if players become hostile towards the Brotherhood after the main quest line, then they are able to seek help from the Minutemen to destroy the Brotherhood as well.
Should I side with the institute or the Brotherhood of Steel?
Ultimately, I think the Brotherhood is more realistic. When you compare the atrocities each side commits, the Brotherhood just wants to wipe out Synths, something you can go out of your way to prevent. The Institute on the other hand has already enslaved and murdered many and will continue to do so.
What can I loot from the institute?
Notable loot
- Advanced Systems.
- BioScience.
- Concourse.
- FEV lab.
- Old Robotics.
- Public works.
- Reactor room.
- Sublevel 21-D.
What are the benefits of siding with the institute?
Siding with the Railroad ultimately helps save Synths from a life of servitude. Upon leaving the Institute building, there is also an opportunity to save a Synth boy who believes you to be his parent.
What kind of loot do you get on siding?
Duty or Dishonor gives you the Exemplar’s T-60c Torso, which is a great chest piece that reduces AP costs. A Loose End gives you the Visionary’s T-60c Helmet, which is another great power armor piece. This one increases your AP refresh speed. The BoS radiant quests just give you caps and XP.
What do you get with siding with Brotherhood of steel?
Everyone knows the Brotherhood runs around collecting tech throughout the wasteland, so they should have some pretty cool stuff. But now there’s the Institute; an unknown quantity. Will I miss out on some new weapons, armor or ‘perks’ by siding with either? I’ve beaten the game with each of the Brotherhood of Steel and Institute multiple times.
What happens if you siding with the Bos?
You won’t lose any quest rewards by siding with the BoS, although you lose out on being able to buy Synth Relay Grenades after the game is over, and the opportunity to kill Maxson and take his stuff. Let’s first look at loot you get from quests that are required to finish the game with either of these factions. The Institute gives you: nothing.
Is it possible to complete the Brotherhood quest?
You cannot complete the quest for the Brotherhood OR the Railroad. You can go toward the Synths, who are hiding in a sewer, protected by turrets (hostile to all) and railroad (not hostile) while Institute Synths fight it out and try to get more loot, but it’s not even really worth it. I’d say let them live.
