The Minutemen had so much, much, much chance to be one of the greatest factions in Fallout history. A potential that felt squandered after you take down the Brotherhood or the Institute, should you wish to do so. A fantastic end-game quest wouldn't be taking down the Institute. But fighting all the other boogeymen in the Commonwealth to ensure everyone's safe. There should have been an end-quest to bring down the Gunners and reclaim Quincy, as well as taking the fight to their stronghold in Gunners' Plaza. To have Preston amass an army and attack Nuka World after the sole survivor finds out about the gangs and Gage's plans to take over the Commonwealth. To have the Minutemen establish a foothold on Far Harbor to help those in that little coast city to reclaim their island from the monsters skulking in the fog. I don't know. Those were missed oportunities.
When this starts playing again after you kill the mirelurk Queen it’s the most badass thing ever. It sounds like triumph. You just took back the Minutemen’s home. Your home. I will admit I was a little disappointed that it was mirelurks and not raiders or some other evil human faction but after the battle it gave me this “we have slain the dragon” sort of feeling. It was awesome.
I agree I felt sooo sick to fat man the mirelurk queen after two failed attempts. I felt so patriotic even though I was with the weakest most boring faction.
Can we just take a moment and realize this. This theme is yours. It's ours as the player. You are the leader of this faction. You actually go out and make it stronger and when you listen to this. It makes you proud it makes you feel proud that this is what you accomplished. These are your soldiers, these are your lands. The Commonwealth relies on you. And your people the General.. and his soldiers
I hate the Minutemen, I despise them - really. Not for any in-game reason as such, but because Bethesda really dropped the ball with the writing at this point. Why? Because it wouldn't EVER work. How has Preston such extensive knowledge about ongoing events? He wasn't even particularly important with the Minutemen before their downfall. For that matter, how do they exchange information at all? By courier? Long-range radio doesn't seem to be a thing, after all. Oh, and for some mysterious reason, the guy who couldn't even hack an 'easy' terminal right at the beginning has no freaking problem rebuilding one of the Fallout's universe most shockingly awesome post-war technology ever? It's stupid.
Because you seem to confuse arguing with braying like a donkey, friend. Writing stuff like 'are you that Naive and Childish' as well as 'your dumb ass' doesn't exactly strike me as being calm. A) Doesn't explain anything on an operational level. B) And yet he 'gets word' of settlements being attacked by raiders long before that. I wasn't referring to the absence of radio messages or broadcasts in general. I was only saying that virtually no Minutemen settlement has radio equipment to call for help. Good thing Preston can hear them crying for help up in Sanctuary. C) He struggles with it even after you kill all the Raiders in the building. You also fail to explain how Sturges manages to replicate the teleportation device. All the other stuff you wrote about Synths is essentially inconsequential to the discussion at hand.
"How has Preston such extensive knowledge about ongoing events." Have you taken a look at the world? It's not hard to know what's going on in the Commonwealth Wasteland. Also, they have Diamond City Radio so... "For that matter, how do they exchange information at all? By courier? Long-range radio doesn't seem to be a thing, after all." What are you talking about? There are radio stations everywhere. And once you take The Castle back, Minutemen Radio can reach you anywhere in the Commonwealth. "the guy who couldn't even hack an 'easy' terminal right at the beginning has no freaking problem rebuilding one of the Fallout's universe most shockingly awesome post-war technology ever?" He was given schematics, and when living in Quincy he was a Power Armor builder along with the Atom Cats. It's not hard to believe that Sturges could build a machine when he has the plans for it.
Look out on the ruins of Boston and what is it you see? Diamond city? A great green jewel arisen from the remnants of an old baseball stadium with a stable economy, food production, water supply, electricity and a military force alongside an even rarer resource in the wastes: an education? Goodneighbour? A reinforced set of alleys for the downtrodden and the outcasts with what would be a gang in charge if it didn't have the best interest of its people in mind? Bunker hill? A shining spire reaching for the sky serving as both a reminder of the past and a beacon for the present smack in the middle of every major trading route in and out of the city, the true artery of Boston? Or perhaps you see the Slog, Warwick homestead, Abarnathy farm or any of the other minor settlements scattered across the wastes trying to carve a place for them to survive? Aye, the commonwealth is all those things, and yet... so much more. Do you know what I see? I see the foundation for a nation, all it needs is a little push. This is why I support the minutemen above all others, raising them from the ashes and helping them rebuild both themselves and those around them. Provide Boston with a military force not there to intimidate and suppress like the institute, or bully and threaten like the Brotherhood or hide in the shadows and deny their own existence like the railroad. No, a Bostonian military of its own making, of its own sons and daughters, securing safety and stability for their homes, families and friends. Securing the birth of something bigger than any of them. If I am allowed to take it one step further beyond the games and enter roleplay levels, I see my character help establish a stable government of allied settlements with the minutemen providing support and safety until this newly formed nation can muster its own force and the minutemen are no longer needed. To root out the raiders, gunners and super mutants. To show the institute the strength of a terrorised people. To let the brotherhood know that even with all their weapons and convictions, their arrogance and fanaticism will amount to nothing. And the railroad, they will be assimilated slowly but surely since they will be forced to realise that if they want to make the world safe for synths, they will need to deal with exterior threats and supporting the main force is the best way to get around doing that. This is what I believe is the best option for the commonwealth, this is what I strive towards.
nay, brother. when i look out into the Commonwealth; past the lights of Diamond City and the smoke rising from Goodneighbor's fire barrels burning long into the night, out into the wilderness beyond...... i see promise. progress and hope; that one day the Commonwealth, and by extension all of America, will rise anew. for like the United States long ago, the Commonwealth; and places beyond, are new frontiers teeming with adventure and mystery. frontiers, that we must settle and build up, if survival is to be at all possible. but what saddens me is the sole fact that our compatriots within the Brotherhood of Steel, and our 'enemies' within the Institute would brazenly refute this. for all they can see is the folly of man. they aren't dreamers like you or i; but militants and scientists. admirable skills, but in a time where someone capable of creation is more necessary for rebuilding our nation, they aren't very useful skills. however.....they can be used another way. if swayed to agree with the Minutemen, the Brotherhood and the Institute could help the rebirth of Massachusetts with the Minutemen's guidance. the simple thought of it. the Dreamers, the Soldiers, and the Critical Thinkers, all working towards a common goal! unity. i long to see that day come, Brother. until then however, i leave you.

You sound like a Minuteman. Have you heard of an event called Wasteland Weekend? I am General Muster of the Wasteland Minutemen, a new tribe to Wasteland. I would love to have you if you'd be willing. It might be a bit too late for this year, September 26th to the 30th, but perhaps next year. Contact me and we can discuss.
Elderrion, YOUR ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. I got a ton of Minutemen rebuilds US scenarios here. Oh, btw there is a start menu showing the castle with this theme playing
Remember, The NCR started small. Imagine if the Minutemen claims some parts of the East, The Legion will be sandwiched by both NCR and the Minutemen. Unless canonically, the sole survivor becomes the Overboss, then forget it, its over. Fortunately for me, I let the Minutemen take over Nuka World Hohoho, we strong af
And I'd love to see the followers of the Apocalypse working with the minutemen instead of the NCR because someday they will realize that the NCR only fight for their benefit while the minutemen fight for those who need it
It makes me feel like I just joined the Institute and Preston Garvey complains and then just shuts up and accepts it and I run both factions in the end game
I will take note in that the Minutemen are among the most pure hearted faction in Fallout 4. They are fiercely dedicated to helping people in need and making the world a better place. I will also admit that it is an empowering feeling to be the general. You rebuilt the Minutemen from the ground up and uphold the honor and integrity that the Minutemen were built on.
Only pure hearted? They can become the strongest faction in the commonwealth. The best part is when you chopped the minutemen's head (general), they would not die. You destroy the castle, they still wouldnt die. Other settlements would help recapture the castle.
@@darnit1944 I wish this were the case but historically every time a General dies the Minutemen kind of go to shit for a while. It's inspiring that they keep on coming back, but I think as a standalone faction they're somewhat limited. I think they work best as a militia that bolsters the goals of another faction. If you are willing to headcanon a bit with the endings, I think the Institute ending where all of the bad actors in the Institute (chiefly Ayo and Father) are gone (achievable in game) and you retain the actual decent people in the Institute who want to help the Commonwealth (Holdren, Binet and Li) AND maintain good relations with the Minutemen under your command is the best ending. You're both General and Director, the Institute's more horrific policies will be pretty easy to stop now that Ayo and Father aren't there to push for them, and you can use the Institute's scientific advancements to aid in the Minutemen making the surface a better place to live for all.
@@JB-xl2jc If Obsidian wrote FO4, we could have gotten that option. Along with toppling Maxson as the Elder, reequipping the minutemen so they wont look like peasant with pipe guns and instead became a real army, and more.
@@darnit1944 Actually a couple of those were in the game files (Beth wrote a quest where Danse would, if the player emboldened him, challenge Maxson for the position of Elder, as he felt Maxon wasn't treading the right path. The end of that quest would appear to have ended up with the possibility of the player becoming Elder, though that's not there in-game and wasn't fleshed out. You do get an option to sarcastically tell Maxson you're gunning for his position, but that's all). As for the Institute, you can actually do pretty much everything I said in game. It is just stuff that will take a while to happen. You can replace Ayo in game, and that leaves the Directorate as Binet (extremely pro-synth and loyal, decent man), Holdren (extremely decent person and loyal, also has a "Join the Railroad" tape in his wastebin that he didn't turn into the SRB, so probably pro-synth), Li (openly laments about the cloak and dagger Institute stuff and how they don't help the people of the surface more, so will likely support any initiatives you make to reform the Institute), Filmore (extremely loyal, tells you "I hope you can come to trust and rely on me to the same degree that Father did" and will likely support any initiative you put forward so long as it doesn't endanger the Institute), and Secord (brand new in her position and openly states a desire for additional cooperation between the divisions, also ceases forceful synth retention on unwilling synths). That pretty much means that if you want to reform the Institute, you'll get very little pushback from these folks. They're all pretty decent- and that's all possible in game. The real problem with FO4's endings is that they just sort of .... end. There's no slideshow, you only get a couple of dialogues with the top players of each faction after the end. It's just not very fleshed out. Wish they had done more there. But, in short, they actually DID put a lot of stuff into it, they were only hamstrung by people wanting to continue playing after the ending (something Fallout NV did NOT have and thus it made a slideshow a lot easier).
It played right after I finished building my giant tower, complete with power, working elevators, and 3 stories, each used for a different thing. First story: Residential area. Second story: Trade district. Third story: Owner's penthouse
@@00persianot me transforming every minutemen settlement into a soviet outpost, giving every settler an uniform, service rifle and armor for the guards... hell, i even installed a fortifications mod and started placing bunkers and trenches all over
@@comradestefan7244 me but turning most of the settlement into Enclave-Minutemen militarized coalition outposts to make my gameplay immersive since I have Enclave resurgent installed and since I'm both member of Enclave in America Rising and Minutemen General
“If the people of the commonwealth were to stand together to form a common cause, we could rebuild what was lost. If we stand together, United, we can drive out the raiders, mutants, gunners, and any other living thing that threatens us. We are the Minutemen, and we are for the commonwealth!”
I wish you could take a squad of Minutemen with you to Nuka World during the 'Open Season' quest (The optional quest where you wipe out the raiders of Nuka World) and the Minutemen can claim Nuka World.
There are plenty of mods to take a squad with you, also find a mod to spawn a workshop down anywhere and found the minutemen settlement guards it will make the minutemen own it not officially tho
idk, _Nuka World_ was pretty fun _because_ I did everything up to the point where the raiders wanted to take over every settlement, and I was like _"...you mean _*_my_*_ settlements?"_ and wiped out every raider faction single-handed.
I feel like the Railroad is the only other group fighting for a good purpose. The Brotherhood is racist, and the Institute is pure evil. If you play your cards right, you can side with both the Minutemen and the Railroad
I live the fact that this plays in sanctuary only when you’ve recruited a ton of settlements and have an army that’s the only time this theme plays to sort of say “hey you did it your taking back the commonwealth and making it a better place” and after you take back fort independence
After reading a lot of these comments, it fills my heart with hope. In the games that gives you opportunities galore to be as evil as you can be, you chose to be the hero, to bring peace and prosperity the people. To come with love and mercy, with compassion and kindness. I like to envision that such great people also bring your generous hearts into the real world, as it gets darker every day
we should all go to comic Con as minute men and help random people and respond to everything with for the Commonwealth!!!! and then pick a fight with people dressed up as anything that is a bad guy
A lot of times I like to take off my general uniform, put down my Gauss rifle and put on just the Minuteman outfit(ballistic weave just to be safe) and the militia hat, and grab a normal three crank later musket...and pretend that I'm just another minutemen. I feels as if I am part of the Minuteman faction...and not just the overpowered general. I am a Minuteman.
I was pissed off at what happened to the BoS after Elder Lyons passed away when they were so awesome in Fallout 3, so I went with the Minuteman and I chose wisely looking back. Now all of my settlements are fortresses and have nuclear artillery to ward off any invaders.
Minutemen : The heart of an all good benevolent God with the might of a malnourished child. It's easy to be good when you are strong but not when you are the weakest and most injured.
I hope so, but I doubt it. Bethesda has too much of a hard-on for the brotherhood, chances are the minutemen will barely be mentioned, but the brotherhood will show up again and this time with even more high tech technology taken straight from their ass.
The only problem with that is that the sole survivor had to lead that faction to glory and since it's a choice which gender you are it would have problems
K1NG W01FF They never confirmed which gender the lone wanderer from f3 was. Moira Brown just made a book years later saying he or she was mysterious and to let history decide or something like that
It would be great if bethesda put this music in other settlements along with sanctuary and the castle, it would feel like you're establishing minutemen presence throughout the commonwealth.
It's so awesome when i go out there with Squad of Minuteman behind me, following me, fighting alone side me and preston. I really feel like I'm the real General
After all the hours i sank into this game, the game that started my love for this series years ago, the raiders i fought, the companions i grew strong bonds with and loved like they were real, the impact this game and series had on me as a person, the betrayals. The good parts. The bad parts. And everything in between, although. I caught word that a settlement needs our help here ill mark it on your map
The fact that a random ass modder easily, easily defeats a entire company full of highly trained, professional developers with paychecks and degrees is embarrassing and still now the humiliation continues
I was sooo hooked with the minutemen that in the course of the whole game build a system in wich settlers who came to the castle became sort of new volunteer recruits for the minutmen and started building up an massive army All were armed to my standard issue equipment wich is 1. A laser musket (no matter wich attachments) 2. Minutmen uniform 3. Helmet combat or army 4. Combat vest The veterans (the ones who helped capture the castle) recieved more armor then volunteers And i would spread my soldiers out to big settlements acting as guards for those settlements
My ideal headcanon for Fallout 4 is a minutemen victory resulting in them reforming the Commonwealth Provisional Government in the long term, becoming the east coast equivalent of the NCR.
Adam Oliphant if you continue to work with the Brotherhood, the Railroad will become hostile to you. On the other hand if you go undercover into the Institute for the Railroad, you will eventually make the Brotherhood hostile.
I know that as part of one of the last missions, who you do it for means that one of the factions will become hostile, but I generally play as all of them simultaneously up to that point.
Nice Facts: If you Go to Settlements that you have Late for Saving/Helping. There Will be A Chance Random Minutemens That is Looks like Saving/Helping those Settlements. Maybe
So many hours listening to this while building the castle...this takes me back to 2015/2016 when I was in school and my free time was consumed with Fallout 4..
We can all admit that, despite that one settlement marked on your map that you don't have motivation to help at that point in time... Hearing this music once you report back to Preston is totally worth it :>
i like to think that after my sole survivor rebuilt the minutemen and made the commonwealth into a much safer place, they would try make that "commonwealth provisonal government" thing again, and then the people would be in control of there lives with the minutemen acting as a peacekeeping force. UNITED WE STAND!
generic then they re open the nuka cola bottling plant and cause massive inflation, vote in massive taxes to counter the depression, construct a welfare state to counter that, then scarcity of resources sparks another war... .
Hearing this music while rebuilding the Castle with my own hands fills me with a feeling I’ve never had from a video game. Most epic theme in all of Fallout in my opinion.
United Settlements of America, the NCR of the east, leaded by President (your Sole Survivor name) and General Garvey. IDK why I wrote this the idea just came to my mind
sadly I dunno if this should take it personally as a theory or not.. or canon possibilities (??) !! (sorry spoiler allert...).. ..................... ................................ >............................. .......................... >.............................. >............................... ............................. >............................. there is a mod called outcast and remnants which is labelled garvey as a "traitor".. he is an agent, a spy from enclave remnants that infiltrate minutemant ranks .. and he is responsible for quincy massacre these group of enclave even make contact with some secret vault in a bunker (under the sea) yeah.. maybe we put aside this as a serious idea for the next canon game
When the Minutemen shows up in any Fallout game or any event, it is game-changing. Their numbers grew so big everywhere and they're so awesome it is like the reverse of Raiders.
I know that Fallout fans are known for blindly worshipping ideologies the franchise tries to make fun of, but I can't bring myself to not love the Minutemen. United we stand, divided we fall.
One mod I would make would be to have a former NCR veteran ranger join the Minutemen as an officer, and he would offer missions where the Minutemen seize control of the military bases. This would establish fortified bases for Minutemen troops, and make the patrols better-equipped… including some power-armored heavies.
I don't get how some people hate the minutemen....I think it's because you have to build them from the Ground up bc the other Faction already have everything
@@nou2786 if your on ps4 its on the creation club it cost $7:99 but its totally worth you get 3 new minutemen paint jobs for all types of power armor and once you retake quincy some minutemen that were in the battle stay and live there so if makes quincy feel alive.
I moved to Maine for one reason: It wasn't the Institute It wasn't the Brotherhood It wasn't the Railroad It wasn't because Piper rejected me... It was because of marked settlements
"lead the commonwealth for the right direction with as little sacrifice as possible. " Eradication of the Institute. It may be a small compensation, compared with total amount of the synth victims of the world that does not exist sole survivor.
Always fighting for freedom, for liberty, respecting the property, respecting the individual, never charging anyone, no taxes. But trying to convincing people that they need to act when the time asks, trying always to help these in need. These basic principles are what made america prosperous and strong.
I love the quest when you protect „The Castle”. Its just so amazing... Imagine this as a scenario and what would happen. (There is gonna be a bit of Fan Fiction). Soldier watching if someone is coming: Gunners! Get the artulery ready! Soldiers: *in group* Roger that! *runs to armory and grabs weapons* General: Fire! *Basiccaly like 30 minutes of fire* *Gunners are now having smaller army* General: Minutemen! UNITED WE STAY!!! *Another 10 minutes goes by snd gunners are almost defeated* *Sounds of screams and artilery* *last group of gunners give up and join the minutemen*

And I'd love to see the followers of the Apocalypse working with the minutemen instead of the NCR because someday they will realize that the NCR only fight for their benefit while the minutemen fight for those who need it
@@mr.intruder1536 Actually the Followers split off from them (What we learn in in fnv). They help everyone that needs it (except for evil groups).
@@nathanschmitz2302 huh.........neat
Stronger than Brotherhood of steel. Stronger than super mutants!

I actually never sided with the Nuka World Raiders,I kill them right after Gage called me lol
this music really makes you feel like you make all the difference in the fight for the commonwealth
It makes me feel like I just joined the Institute and Preston Garvey complains and then just shuts up and accepts it and I run both factions in the end game
I will take note in that the Minutemen are among the most pure hearted faction in Fallout 4. They are fiercely dedicated to helping people in need and making the world a better place. I will also admit that it is an empowering feeling to be the general. You rebuilt the Minutemen from the ground up and uphold the honor and integrity that the Minutemen were built on.
Only pure hearted? They can become the strongest faction in the commonwealth. The best part is when you chopped the minutemen's head (general), they would not die. You destroy the castle, they still wouldnt die. Other settlements would help recapture the castle.
@@darnit1944 I wish this were the case but historically every time a General dies the Minutemen kind of go to shit for a while. It's inspiring that they keep on coming back, but I think as a standalone faction they're somewhat limited. I think they work best as a militia that bolsters the goals of another faction.
If you are willing to headcanon a bit with the endings, I think the Institute ending where all of the bad actors in the Institute (chiefly Ayo and Father) are gone (achievable in game) and you retain the actual decent people in the Institute who want to help the Commonwealth (Holdren, Binet and Li) AND maintain good relations with the Minutemen under your command is the best ending. You're both General and Director, the Institute's more horrific policies will be pretty easy to stop now that Ayo and Father aren't there to push for them, and you can use the Institute's scientific advancements to aid in the Minutemen making the surface a better place to live for all.
@@JB-xl2jc If Obsidian wrote FO4, we could have gotten that option. Along with toppling Maxson as the Elder, reequipping the minutemen so they wont look like peasant with pipe guns and instead became a real army, and more.
@@darnit1944 Actually a couple of those were in the game files (Beth wrote a quest where Danse would, if the player emboldened him, challenge Maxson for the position of Elder, as he felt Maxon wasn't treading the right path. The end of that quest would appear to have ended up with the possibility of the player becoming Elder, though that's not there in-game and wasn't fleshed out. You do get an option to sarcastically tell Maxson you're gunning for his position, but that's all). As for the Institute, you can actually do pretty much everything I said in game. It is just stuff that will take a while to happen. You can replace Ayo in game, and that leaves the Directorate as Binet (extremely pro-synth and loyal, decent man), Holdren (extremely decent person and loyal, also has a "Join the Railroad" tape in his wastebin that he didn't turn into the SRB, so probably pro-synth), Li (openly laments about the cloak and dagger Institute stuff and how they don't help the people of the surface more, so will likely support any initiatives you make to reform the Institute), Filmore (extremely loyal, tells you "I hope you can come to trust and rely on me to the same degree that Father did" and will likely support any initiative you put forward so long as it doesn't endanger the Institute), and Secord (brand new in her position and openly states a desire for additional cooperation between the divisions, also ceases forceful synth retention on unwilling synths).
That pretty much means that if you want to reform the Institute, you'll get very little pushback from these folks. They're all pretty decent- and that's all possible in game.
The real problem with FO4's endings is that they just sort of .... end. There's no slideshow, you only get a couple of dialogues with the top players of each faction after the end. It's just not very fleshed out. Wish they had done more there. But, in short, they actually DID put a lot of stuff into it, they were only hamstrung by people wanting to continue playing after the ending (something Fallout NV did NOT have and thus it made a slideshow a lot easier).
@@JB-xl2jc In short, FO4 gave you choices that they want you to make.
Listen it in Sanctuary Hills when you build after hours your town ;D
Rio7 TAD yup it makes me proud feel like I am marketing a difference
Which is now a city that I am the mayor of. lol
It played right after I finished building my giant tower, complete with power, working elevators, and 3 stories, each used for a different thing. First story: Residential area. Second story: Trade district. Third story: Owner's penthouse
This theme is the reason why the Minutemen were my choice
@ZCS just lower the music volume-
The Minutemen were my choice because you can choose them *_and_* the Institute :3
The minutemen may not of been great in the base game but the players imagination of what they could become makes them my favorite faction.
that's why mods exist
@@00persianot me transforming every minutemen settlement into a soviet outpost, giving every settler an uniform, service rifle and armor for the guards... hell, i even installed a fortifications mod and started placing bunkers and trenches all over
@@comradestefan7244 me but turning most of the settlement into Enclave-Minutemen militarized coalition outposts to make my gameplay immersive since I have Enclave resurgent installed and since I'm both member of Enclave in America Rising and Minutemen General
“If the people of the commonwealth were to stand together to form a common cause, we could rebuild what was lost. If we stand together, United, we can drive out the raiders, mutants, gunners, and any other living thing that threatens us. We are the Minutemen, and we are for the commonwealth!”
Damn right
MINUTEMEN!!
_~instantly rolls over and accepts his leader joining the Institute too~_
I wish you could take a squad of Minutemen with you to Nuka World during the 'Open Season' quest (The optional quest where you wipe out the raiders of Nuka World) and the Minutemen can claim Nuka World.
You can with the "minuteman take over nuka world" mod. It's available on both pc and console.
There are plenty of mods to take a squad with you, also find a mod to spawn a workshop down anywhere and found the minutemen settlement guards it will make the minutemen own it not officially tho
you can download fcom and request a ton of minutemen forces.
idk, _Nuka World_ was pretty fun _because_ I did everything up to the point where the raiders wanted to take over every settlement, and I was like _"...you mean _*_my_*_ settlements?"_ and wiped out every raider faction single-handed.
After all this time playing fallout 4, I finally realized that minuteman is the best faction
Yes dear Sir best hope for Commonwealth
ps. another settlement needs your help i marked on your map
Garvey what else do you want. I killed the institute and the bos and the settlements are now fortresses
besides BoS
zacharie ??? This version of BoS were racists and make the commonwealth all human. They didn't like ghouls or synths even if they weren't dangerous.
I feel like the Railroad is the only other group fighting for a good purpose. The Brotherhood is racist, and the Institute is pure evil. If you play your cards right, you can side with both the Minutemen and the Railroad
I live the fact that this plays in sanctuary only when you’ve recruited a ton of settlements and have an army that’s the only time this theme plays to sort of say “hey you did it your taking back the commonwealth and making it a better place” and after you take back fort independence
(Best read in the voice of the guy from the Red Faction Guerilla trailer) This is a declaration of the Commonwealth's independence.
After reading a lot of these comments, it fills my heart with hope. In the games that gives you opportunities galore to be as evil as you can be, you chose to be the hero, to bring peace and prosperity the people. To come with love and mercy, with compassion and kindness. I like to envision that such great people also bring your generous hearts into the real world, as it gets darker every day
we should all go to comic Con as minute men and help random people and respond to everything with for the Commonwealth!!!! and then pick a fight with people dressed up as anything that is a bad guy
Andrew Childs so any brother hood of steel cosplayers?
Miggel, Commonwealth Minutemen
And the silver shroud will lurk in the shadows keeping justice in the commenwealth for all must face death but I am its shroud
th-cam.com/video/tHFsWCzBBmk/w-d-xo.html
I can see it now... a horde of Preston Garveys amazing
A lot of times I like to take off my general uniform, put down my Gauss rifle and put on just the Minuteman outfit(ballistic weave just to be safe) and the militia hat, and grab a normal three crank later musket...and pretend that I'm just another minutemen. I feels as if I am part of the Minuteman faction...and not just the overpowered general. I am a Minuteman.
I was pissed off at what happened to the BoS after Elder Lyons passed away when they were so awesome in Fallout 3, so I went with the Minuteman and I chose wisely looking back. Now all of my settlements are fortresses and have nuclear artillery to ward off any invaders.
Protect the people at a minutes notice
It is a theme of hope, a rise of a new power that will fight to free the Commonwealth. Come let us build a new world together!
General Iego von Leo Yes,! United We Stand!
For The Commonwealth
Such a regal theme for a very underrated faction
Minutemen : The heart of an all good benevolent God with the might of a malnourished child.
It's easy to be good when you are strong but not when you are the weakest and most injured.
I am willing to bet if Fallout 5 is set in the east coast somewhere, the Minutemen are going to be a major faction.
I hope so, but I doubt it. Bethesda has too much of a hard-on for the brotherhood, chances are the minutemen will barely be mentioned, but the brotherhood will show up again and this time with even more high tech technology taken straight from their ass.
Elderrion If it's cannon that the Minutemen shoot down the prydwen, maybe they'll return with more conflict with the brotherhood.
The only problem with that is that the sole survivor had to lead that faction to glory and since it's a choice which gender you are it would have problems
K1NG W01FF They never confirmed which gender the lone wanderer from f3 was. Moira Brown just made a book years later saying he or she was mysterious and to let history decide or something like that
BlueSkullX but it's different with factions
You know you succeeded in life when this song becomes the soundtrack of Sanctuary Hills
As someone from Boston this theme encapsulates the patriotism of MA citizens. Playing fallout 4 and being from Boston makes it 10x cooler
Reminds me of being afk in sanctuary hills while preston keeps talking about my robot abominations 😂
S E T T L E M E N T S
They need your help,ill mark them on your map.
Dogeman I already have helped them
Take the settlement and rebuild!
It would be great if bethesda put this music in other settlements along with sanctuary and the castle, it would feel like you're establishing minutemen presence throughout the commonwealth.
UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL!!!
It's so awesome when i go out there with Squad of Minuteman behind me, following me, fighting alone side me and preston. I really feel like I'm the real General
After all the hours i sank into this game, the game that started my love for this series years ago, the raiders i fought, the companions i grew strong bonds with and loved like they were real, the impact this game and series had on me as a person, the betrayals. The good parts. The bad parts. And everything in between, although. I caught word that a settlement needs our help here ill mark it on your map
😂😂
chills , man I really wish the minutemen were more fleshed out, such a cool concept
The fact that a random ass modder easily, easily defeats a entire company full of highly trained, professional developers with paychecks and degrees is embarrassing and still now the humiliation continues
I was sooo hooked with the minutemen that in the course of the whole game build a system in wich settlers who came to the castle became sort of new volunteer recruits for the minutmen and started building up an massive army
All were armed to my standard issue equipment wich is
1. A laser musket (no matter wich attachments)
2. Minutmen uniform
3. Helmet combat or army
4. Combat vest
The veterans (the ones who helped capture the castle) recieved more armor then volunteers
And i would spread my soldiers out to big settlements acting as guards for those settlements
My ideal headcanon for Fallout 4 is a minutemen victory resulting in them reforming the Commonwealth Provisional Government in the long term, becoming the east coast equivalent of the NCR.
but what if your part of both the BoS and the minutemen?
...and the railroad.
Adam Oliphant if you continue to work with the Brotherhood, the Railroad will become hostile to you. On the other hand if you go undercover into the Institute for the Railroad, you will eventually make the Brotherhood hostile.
I know that as part of one of the last missions, who you do it for means that one of the factions will become hostile, but I generally play as all of them simultaneously up to that point.
Cody Buckler reminds me of witcher 3
I beat the game with the minutemen and nobody is hostile
When a settlement has rain
United We Stand.
Nice Facts: If you Go to Settlements that you have Late for Saving/Helping. There Will be A Chance Random Minutemens That is Looks like Saving/Helping those Settlements. Maybe
Glory to the Minutemen.
The bagpipes really bring this song to life
Artemis Arrow along with the harmonica I think it is.

2:20 sounds like a morrowind soundtrack
..................Oh shit here comes a cliff racer.
This track is amazing,it gives me the vibes almost like amazing skyrim soundtracks
So many hours listening to this while building the castle...this takes me back to 2015/2016 when I was in school and my free time was consumed with Fallout 4..
The minutemen one of the greatest faction i ever played
"Protect the people at a minutes notice" ) Long live the minutemen
Who is ready to kick the Brotherhood back to California?

United we stand
Divided we fall
Protecting the Commonwealth
With liberty and justice for all!
We are the Minutemen!
I played it in my settlement. Now its independent
"Let me mark it on your map."
We can all admit that, despite that one settlement marked on your map that you don't have motivation to help at that point in time... Hearing this music once you report back to Preston is totally worth it :>
i like to think that after my sole survivor rebuilt the minutemen and made the commonwealth into a much safer place, they would try make that "commonwealth provisonal government" thing again, and then the people would be in control of there lives with the minutemen acting as a peacekeeping force.
UNITED WE STAND!
generic then they re open the nuka cola bottling plant and cause massive inflation, vote in massive taxes to counter the depression, construct a welfare state to counter that, then scarcity of resources sparks another war...

cuddlefish longbottomtonshireville well yeah, world would be boring without a war or two xD
cuddlefish longbottomtonshireville It's a repeating cycle that cannot be avoided. As long as man exists, there'll always be strife.
Cx trihard gravy
Honestly I hope they build on the minutemen in a future game. I know it's unlikely, but a man can wish.
They did mention the NCR in Kellogg's memories so we can hope they will at least acknowledge the Minutemen in the future.
Hearing this music while rebuilding the Castle with my own hands fills me with a feeling I’ve never had from a video game. Most epic theme in all of Fallout in my opinion.
I took a seat in the Generals Room I think (The one where you clear rubble to get to the Armory) and this was blasting, it felt so fucking cool.
Minutemen is NCR EasternNorth
United Settlements of America, the NCR of the east, leaded by President (your Sole Survivor name) and General Garvey. IDK why I wrote this the idea just came to my mind
United republic of New England
Reunited States of America
sadly I dunno if this should take it personally as a theory or not.. or canon possibilities (??) !!
(sorry spoiler allert...)..

there is a mod called outcast and remnants which is labelled garvey as a "traitor".. he is an agent, a spy from enclave remnants that infiltrate minutemant ranks .. and he is responsible for quincy massacre
these group of enclave even make contact with some secret vault in a bunker (under the sea)
yeah.. maybe we put aside this as a serious idea for the next canon game
Nasi goreng Wwe sounds like something jethead would do
LOLs .. so confused on how to comment about that mod though
Sound silly and kind of stupid.. but also interesting

There's just something really awesome about bringing this pretty much dead faction back to life
Long live the minutemen. Protect the people at a minutes notice
FOR THE COMMONWEALTH.
Garvey, Preston 2287.
When the Minutemen shows up in any Fallout game or any event, it is game-changing. Their numbers grew so big everywhere and they're so awesome it is like the reverse of Raiders.
BOS:im gonna invade/colonize commonwealth hopefully there arent meanies
institute,raiders,railroad,minutemen,gunners,mutants:hold our guns
I know that Fallout fans are known for blindly worshipping ideologies the franchise tries to make fun of, but I can't bring myself to not love the Minutemen. United we stand, divided we fall.
Another settlement needs our help!
Yessir
NCR: sniff sniff I smell a worthy enemy
Nah I rather think they would team up or making necessary Alliance If Big threat shows up

"Another settlement needs your help. I'll mark it on your map."
This music played when Mamá Murphy died in my game
I joined to minutemen just for this theme to play in Sanctuary.
Of all the factions of Fallout, I think the Minutemen are the most noble and the best for the wasteland
By the way general there is another settlement that needs your help. I will mark it on your map.
One mod I would make would be to have a former NCR veteran ranger join the Minutemen as an officer, and he would offer missions where the Minutemen seize control of the military bases.
This would establish fortified bases for Minutemen troops, and make the patrols better-equipped… including some power-armored heavies.
Was I the only one expecting it to be just 4 minutes of Preston Garvey talking about how another settlement needs our help?
Hear us march, hear us sing ,hear us build, hear us work, hear us live for every minute we have
We are The Minute Men and this is our song
Another settlement needs our help, I'll mark it on your map
I don't get how some people hate the minutemen....I think it's because you have to build them from the Ground up bc the other Faction already have everything
I personally love the Minutemen.
Lol the amount of time I spent rebuilding the castle hearing this
the castle was (and still is) one of my favourite settlements to build
@@alviseossena3238 absolutely
I hope someone can make a mod that gives you a quest to take back Quincy
There is
oh
@@nou2786 if your on ps4 its on the creation club it cost $7:99 but its totally worth you get 3 new minutemen paint jobs for all types of power armor and once you retake quincy some minutemen that were in the battle stay and live there so if makes quincy feel alive.
I moved to Maine for one reason:
It wasn't the Institute
It wasn't the Brotherhood
It wasn't the Railroad
It wasn't because Piper rejected me...
It was because of marked settlements
those Preston Garvey quests though...
theres another settlement that needs help i marked it on your map
Elder Maxson f u Maxson I shelled your boat to the ground

Always fighting for freedom, for liberty, respecting the property, respecting the individual, never charging anyone, no taxes. But trying to convincing people that they need to act when the time asks, trying always to help these in need. These basic principles are what made america prosperous and strong.
Could listen to it all night and fall asleep to it easily.
Why is it so soothing and has a mysterious but really good vibe
May the Minutemen live on!
Its late 2024 and fallout 4 is finally feeling nostalgic to me, damn im getting old
I love the quest when you protect „The Castle”. Its just so amazing...
Imagine this as a scenario and what would happen. (There is gonna be a bit of Fan Fiction).
Soldier watching if someone is coming: Gunners! Get the artulery ready!
