I dunno, the Master had motivations and goals that made sense, the Institute is just the Think Tank's "lol science xd" but without any comedy element to it, so they just come across as moronic
mostly the master part because they create a massive fricking super mutant army to unleash on the surface for no real reason. the master had a plan or motivation, the institute just does it to have supermuties in boston
also they got FEV somehow
The frick is the goal of The Institute anyways? What endgame is there in creating synths who will become more trouble than they're worth down the line? You spend all that resources, time, effort in both the physical and mental capacity to construct and program them, just for them to rebel, go AWOL, go against your expectations but still have the desire to hunt them down because of it? The Institute may as well create actual children the old fashioned way because thats what the synths may as well be.
They have no goal because Bethesda can't write a coherent story or coordinate between writers to save their lives.
Sometimes they're portrayed as these misunderstood isolationists who have a master keikaku to help humanity, sometimes they are comically evil crazy scientists who randomly decide to frick with people for no reason.
what is the endgame of the railroad? >hmm we love synths! >let's fricking BOMB where all synths come from! >we did it, we saved the synths by exterminating them
half of the factions in Fallout 4 are fricking moronic.
at least you can make excuses for the legion.
the institute could easily repair the wasteland singlehandedly but they decide to just abduct people and replace them with synths instead of making a synth army to rid the wasteland of the garbage like deathclaws?
>The BOS is right for wanting to destroy the institute.
No, even they are moronic. Why blow up a huge research facility with weapons, synth production and hydropponic facilities instead of taking it for themselves? It's the fricking Enclave mobile base from F3 all over again.
They need to destroy it because lore-wise the Brotherhood with teleportation technology would rekt pretty much everyone. They already have power armors, advanced weaponry and vertibirds, if they start to teleport around too nobody would stand a chance in the entire America. >synth production
Why would the Brotherhood care about preserving this? They want to erase synths.

They could easily re-purpose them and at least learn how it was done. BoS scribes are a thing.
They don't even have a fricking base in the Commonwealth, they could have used it as a base, it's borderline impregnable. >lore-wise
I don't give a flying frick about bethesda's writer's problems, why would the in-game characters themselves destroy it? You can't justify outright bullshit and writing flaws by saying that it would be inconvenient for the writers, you sniveling cuck.

Yep it's bethesda BoS time
Librerety prim and da big SPLOSIONS and boom
F4 fricking sucks, all factions are moronic but the brotherhood since their objective is simply to get rid of the institute and muties, uninteresting bullshit
Not everything needs to be logical or have a reason to exist. You for example are a complete waste of space, yet here you are. You also cut of your dick to become a woman which isn't logical at all.
The Institute is fricking pointless. What are they even doing and why? The Think Tank are a group of mad scientists that are (quite literally) detached from any sense of humanity and do science for the sake of science.
>hmmmmmm it is i, brain in jar robot, your fingers and toes look like little peenus weenus! that's right, your toes and fingers are just like peenus weenus 🙂
gee i wonder
>the institute has a cybernetic implant project that is wildly successful, pretty much makes you biologically immortal >said program is used in exactly one person and then shut down because shaun or the old man or whoever the frick felt it was crossing the line with humanity >meanwhile the institute has been churning out hordes of supermutants for at least a century using people they kidnap from the surface but this doesnt cross any lines >meanwhile the institute has been churning out human-meat-robot-infiltrators after kidnapping and raping actual humans to replace them, this doesnt cross any lines
the game cannot decide if the institute is meant to be over the top cartoonishly chaotic evil wacky super science or a serious faction with serious concerns about technology, society, and the future so it tries to do both at the same time and its a fricking shitshow
oh and i forgot about the synth gorillas
and the utter psychotic nonsense behind child synth shaun like what the FRICK is that shit
Listen I may have 100% fallout 4 and spent 2000+ hours in it trying various builds but it isn't hard to mog the institute. I may not hate the game but that whole storyline is moronic.
Alright a NV thread
So how come no one talks about the two end game zones you get after lonesome road? i literally just found out last night about the Long 15 and Dry wells, and ive been playing since release, god damn.
because there's not much to talk about, yeah it's a high level area that you can get high level gear but if you're doing LR chances are you have high end gear already, and you come out with high end gear if not

>institute wants to better post-apocalyptic mankind >decides unleashing super mutants on the commonwealth and secretly replacing people with synths is going to convince people that's their goal
Is this ever explained?
nope
the real answer is that they only care about progress and advancing their scientific mind, they're all too happy to let the people upstairs burn for all they care, even Shaun admits it as much when he goes to the surface, seeing it a desolate place with no redeeming qualities
while on the subject we really see how he views us, in his eyes were just another science project to better understand what makes humans tick so he can incorporate in his toasters
That's not Elijah or Ulysses

stop trying to make sense of shitty writing
why are we making AI more intelligent just for generating images anon?
something something raytheon image captchas drone strikes self-driving cars bad faith false flag doctored photos something something
It's not intelligent though, a computer processing data to do exactly as it's told is not intelligence.

No faction in FO4 has any logical goals or motivation, they just exist for narrative purposes
The BOS is right for wanting to destroy the institute. The Minutemen make sense too

what's reddit humor? a joke that doesn't involve e-girls or the holocaust?

Don't play any bethesda fallout.

I don't hate NV as a whole or consider it "reddit" in totality. That being said, OWB is maybe the most reddit DLC to have ever been made.
It might be reddit as frick, but that doesn't stop me from liking the whole experience.
Not that hard to mog the worst villians in the franchise. And bugthesda fans will try to defend this, and it's shitty writing, I can guarantee it.

It's because Bethesda wanted super mutants on the east coast. That's it, there isn't an explanation ingame
nope

Would you keep wasting money making synth if all they did was rebel and run away?
You're make it look like it's some kind of achievement.
New Vegas is hundreds of times better than either FO3 and FO4. It's almost sad.
Is there any way to effectively use disguises in New Vegas? I don't think I've ever used them
