What future do you uphold for the Commonwealth?

The one where I buy the next game on Steam. With a hefty rebate.

Brotherhood of steel in charge while the minutemen are still around. Why? Simply because the brotherhood is the best equipped and better trained faction to keep order in the commonwealth.

I find the institute to be the ultimate waste of resources and scientific knowledge. Rather then investing in technologies that could be used to clean the radiation in the commonwealth and restore the flora, they waste it all in a pointless production of synths that to this day I still don't understand the pourpose of. I destroyed them without a second thought. Not to mention the protagonist already has a personal vendeta with them.

And the railroad is destroyed as well. Since I was following the brotherhood storyline and their demise is a requirement. Can't say I cared much considering I find Desdemona to be absolutely insufferable while the other members range from annoying to weird.

Eh, destroy all.

The Railroad is cool but misguided. The little joke about them wanting to liberate toasters after dealing with the institute isn't far off.

The Institute, like jaison1986 said, pretty much asks for it. Synths and plans to control the Commonwealth instead of legitimately helping it, what a waste.

The Brotherhood is organized and, again, has a cool aspect, but they have a seriousness that leans towards being damnable, and who knows what they'd do in the long run. Probably end up cleaning out Goodneighbor and just being dicks.

The Minutemen... Haven't worked with them in a long while. Got tired of Preston and helping people who can't make it themselves in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. I mean, seriously now. Its been 200+ years of living in a radioactive wasteland and people don't know how to deal with their problems?

The Nuka Raiders? Just target practice as far as I'm concerned.
