@@ultraflopp2802 I think both would become allies tbh. they somewhat started out the same way and have the same goals on rebuilding humanity, though I would love to see a more wide scale Brotherhood Minutemen war with aid from places like the NCR.
The minutemen is "you" you make them powerful, build a settlement fortresses. Secure peace and order in the commonwealth, its up to you. You control the minutemen
The Minutemen are you, America, the Minutemen are your sister, your aunt, your friend, your neighbor, and yes, the minutemen are me as well, as your General it is my responsibility to preside over our great Commonwealth. And as your General, I am the voice, heart, and soul of the Minutemen, that is to say, I am the voice, heart, and soul of America, but only together *Together* can we hope to reach our full potential, the way we were before the war, whole, *beautiful, Powerful, one Minutemen, one America, now and forever. Now, my dearest America, it is time to say farewell, for there is much work to be done, and the minutemen never rest, *Never* .
Because that vault dweller was the one that know how the world 200 years before while other, they didn't know and they believe what they had is already heaven. While that vault dweller want to bring back the world
But nope, all we got is a CC add on that make you fight the Gunners at Quincy and liberate it... Until the game respawns the Gunners (thanks to the game's IRONCLAD SCRIPT that you can't modify without crashing the game) and you have to do it ALL . OVER . AGAIN . Instead of PERMANENTLY.
Or work out some sort of trade agreement with them. They aren't raiders they are literally mercenaries for hire. Pay them more to actually defend the civilians
@@HattaTHEZulZILLA86also it would have been nice to have an officially permanent Minuteman outpost there with civilians living there. A trading military outpost...
@@orion8234 if you genuinely think they want to exterminate all ghouls, you clearly have not had Paladin Danse in your party for more than 3 minutes. If you sell Billy to slavery or are mean to the silver shroud guy, he condemns you and hates your actions. They have no hostility towards non-feral ghouls except maybe some mean comments. As a matter of fact Maxson’s BOS is more tolerable than Lyon’s BOS. And on the topic of synths, synths were created by the BOS’s enemy, obviously they’re gonna hate/be afraid of them. But since the BOS is so bad let’s talk about the railroad. The railroad only help synths and even after destroying the institute and freeing the synths, they don’t help people at all, focusing solely on helping their stupid robot waifus. Not to mention the railroad are the ones who start the conflict with the BOS as Desdemona says herself that the brotherhood are enemies before they even have a chance to set up shop. Same goes for the minutemen, the brotherhood don’t attack first, you do. The brotherhood are the only faction with the supplies to rebuild the commonwealth anyway.
I doubt the brotherhood would be alive in the canon ending. The Minutemen and the railroad hate the brotherhood, for good reason. The only time the brotherhood were really the good guys was in Fallout 3, and Fallout 4 makes it explicitly clear that the brotherhood has since gone back to its older ways.
@@LordBeef the minutemen do not hate the brotherhood and you’re fucking stupid if you think they do. The minutemen only hate the brotherhood if YOU attack the brotherhood. The SS is the one who creates the hostility between the Minutemen and BOS. Meaning if the minutemen have a problem with the brotherhood it’s because YOU decides to go on a ideological rampage and kill whoever doesn’t agree with you (Ahem Italian blackshirts) and Maxson combined the ways of lyons and the classic brotherhood, he still helps people, lyons brotherhood were more racist than maxsons as they killed innocent non feral ghouls, maxsons BOS doesn’t, they’re mean to them, but they don’t kill them.
@@LordBeef I'd think the minutemen would tolerate the BOS, but would safeguard the Railroad without getting into a full blown war with the brotherhood. At least until the Prydwen leaves.
Idc what anyone says I played mm and brotherhood and I have over 250 minutemen at my settlement and i download a militarized mm mod so now their all decked out in Vietnam War era style military gear. I've effectively rebuilt the common wealth with a 350 hr no cheat mod playthrough
my mm and brotherhood work together. im sentinel of the brotherhood and I finished the institute battle with the brotherhood but closely used both mm and brotherhood to achieve end result
Once you have put a few dozen and even a few hundred hours into settlements mods related to the minutemen (buffed militia mod), they can easily defeat all forces in the commonwealth, the best part is that you feel more connected to the minutemen because you see it at its lowest point, and witness its rise to its prime, from just a few straggling survivors from the Quincy Massacre & a Sole Survivor that just entered the world of fallout with no experience, to a force to be reckoned with, thats the beauty of Fallout.
Same with institute tho, if you instal multiple mods, that make it more appealing. Coursers and synths become way more of a threat, no other faction really stands a chance.
I like roleplaying as an Enclave Remnant, (I play modded PC), and I basically build up the Minutemen as a visionary of what the Enclave could have done to the wastes.
The Enclave is the most evil faction in the games while the minutemans are the most good people in the games, this doesn't make sense, the minutemans would try to stop the Enclave because of their crimes against the world and against Americans, even if they think they are the good guys. See you in chicago in fallout 5: minutemen against the Enclave and a fraction of the brotherhood of steel.
I did do that, I also installed a mod too make the artillery strike quicker so it’s the same strength but it comes down before the target dies of old age because 90 second for the bombardment is too long, you can’t use the Damm feature. You rlly feel like you did something putting a supply line threw entire common wealth with srtilery supp everywhere, you build up settlement making them incredible secure, one farmer one supplier one srtilerist and one plunderer
@@Jan-nl6kq Without the wait, the artillery would be too overpowering, it can destroy basically anything. Placing at least one piece in every settlement makes you a god of death.
Unless your late game minute men then united you fall with how garbage they are, seriously they couldn’t have at least upgraded the weapons, or let them use artillery smoke grenads? Minute men are 1 BOS Knight away from destruction.
I only really wish that there were options to deal with the factions that weren't just genocide. You either let them keep causing issues or kill them entirely
@@rnealjones9850well you can destroy the Institute without killing the b.o.s. or the railroads, the railroads will even help you if you want. This is how the minutemen got strong: by creating alliances, tho I don't think that they will remain an ally to this fraction of the b.o.s., maybe in a future fallout 5 in Chicago you will choose a faction between the Enclave, the minutemen, the fascist b.o.s. and the capital b.o.s., the last ones could also be allied to the minutemen.
Although the minutemen fell at the Gunners stand during the fight of Quincy, they got a new general, and while empowered by the force of the greif, revenge was taken. First they defeated the deathclaw and raiders trapping them in the museum of freedom in Concord, Moving up to sanctuary, they took back settlements, leading to the quest of the castle. Taking a sneak attack commanded by the general, they killed all the mirelurks and eggs at the castle, luring out the queen, and with the help of the Sole Survivor (General), They had slain the Mirelurk Queen. A long time later, they were tasked with building the teleportation machine for the Sole Survivor. With this done, the Soul Survivor traveled to the Institute, Killed The Father, regained the info tape and gave the minutemen Conformation to destroy the instutute. Now with the Institute destroyed, they could go on with phase 2 of the plan. The Brotherhood. Like for part 2!!!
Okay, now move the sole survivor to ANY other faction, or have him not get involved and then those odds go back to 100% the minutemen are useless without your character
That's the point of your character for the minuteman Every other faction doesn't need you at all really they can all basically survive without you As for the minuteman it's like your player a nobody turning nobody's into somebody
@@xBlaze6180 exactly, so it's not late game minutemen that are winning, it's the late game sole survivor, the minutemen could be nowhere and the player can still win
I wouldn't say completely useless, they're just not strong enough to compete with any other faction. it's a death sentence at that point 😆 at the beginning it's just you and Preston
The minutemen have more troops than any faction during the late game, they have artillery support with is devastating, they have advanced logistics thanks to Ronnie Shaw, Advanced technological understanding thanks to Sturges, Strong leadership with Garvey, and a slowly expanding core of standardization thanks to Anne Hargroves.
One of the things I’ve always hated about the Minutemen is how dependent they are on ONE person, the general (you). They send you to take care of petty problems, look at you for guidance for damn near everything, and literally fell apart because they had only a single guy to hold things together. If they could just spread out the power they give to those in power, they would have a much better chance of survival.
Yeah, that Sucks, after the general died they basically got fragmentated into múltiple groups, there was Quincy guys, libertalia guys (the raiders there were once minutemen) and probably a lot More.
Actually, no. We see that in that one Institute quest. It’s obviously just there for gameplay purposes, but the game itself confirms that the Minutemen work great with or without you. Though naturally better with a competent general, as has been seen in the past.
Minutemen are nothing without the Sole Survivor, the faction that has the highest possibility of winning without intervention of the Sole Survivor is most definitely the Institute.
No, each faction can have settlements. The brotherhood can solo the institute without the sole survivor. The Minitumen is still super powerful with the SS at their side. The MM can send the SS to deal with anything and he will accomplish anything, Without the SS, the leadership for the MM would fail even if the SS sustained an economy of settlements across the commonwealth already. The MM would win every time against the Brotherhood if the SS has maxed out settlements, but that really isn’t the MM anymore because you can make settlements for any faction besides the MM (for example my outpost zimonjia is a brotherhood settlement). Btw the Railroad is complete fodder compared to the other 3 factions, it also doesn’t make sense to side with them because have no real long term goals execpt to free the institutes creations.
Yup pretty much, Preston says as much himself. If it wasn't for the sole survior Preston would probably help sanctuary set up go out to help a settlement deal with the jarred raiders only to let that be his suicide letter after falling into a deep depression from the death of all his friends and faction.
@@Faustin_DucasseYes and no. No other fraction in the commonwealth profitize more about the SS in their group than the Minutemen. So the Minutemen with SS are stronger than a Brotherhood of Steel with SS
@@The_Bricklayerthe Brotherhood of Steel have Liberty Prime and the best soldier that has ever existed another Survivor on the Minute Man's team would not change shit
The Minutemen remind me of the Inquisition or the Grey Wardens from Dragon Age. They emerge and grow strong when they're needed, and when the crisis has passed, they wither away and retreat into the shadows.
Here’s an idea, The minute men and railroad combine forces, with the vault dweller leading the former and working for the latter, he could allow the railroad to use minutemen’s bases as synth hideouts, solving their outpost issue while granting the minutemen access to the railroads superior armour technology. They’d boost their influence over the commonwealth in secret while the institute or Bos believes the Railroad has perished
I love how you just made one of the best gaming ideas ever and 1 person says "wat song is this?" They could make it to where you're the inside man inside the BoS so you know what the BoS next move is and tell it to the RR and MM. You then convince the BoS to "wipeout" the RR and you "confirm" that there are no survivors. Convincing the BoS that the RR is truly dead. From there your idea would take place. Using MM settlements to hide runaway synths(RAS) They could even go further and make a series of unending quests like the following 1.)someone found out about the secret secret operation of RR and you must track eliminate the threat before they tell the BoS. Whether you convince, threaten or kill the person. 2.) The BoS decides to start searching for remnants of the RR or RAS. The sole survivor can either lead the mission their own way to steer the BoS away from certain Settlements deemed RR operations or he can go ahead of the BoS and tell the RR and RAS that the BoS are coming. You can either relocate the operation to a different base, or you can build a hidden bunker for the RR and RAS to hide in until the BoS walks away(of course the bunker would have to be added to the workshop)
@@johnathanbotto742 I had thought of having the Sole survivor lead a fake BOS attack on the old north church and other known RR territories simultaneously, making it look like we are destroying them without leaving any time to recover, cementing the rouse and protecting the Railroad in secret, melding them into minutemen settlements as ordinary citizens.
And to make it even more badass, they need to restore cut content of you challenging BoS' elder on behalf of Dance, winning the fight, taking his place, and using all three factions to forge perfect future not only for Commonwealth, but eventually expanding to any near territory. That seriously has to be a global mod for all this. Let's give some creators the idea
@@chrisprizzle278its because the minutemen are nothing without the sole survivor The bos could survive on there own The institue is fine on there own Railway is just screwed no matter what
But one day the B.O.S. and the minutemen will go to war because of the fascist ideals of maximus, not like the good capital b.o.s. or the original b.o.s.
@@mantaminer6669 its even funnier when a random mirelurck queen wanders near the beach settlements and the munch of missile and laser turrets go HAM on her
The thing about the Minutemen that makes them have a greater advantage over the other factions is the fact that they aren't in just one area, they are spread around other settlements. You destroy one settlement there's still others. You have to kill every single one of them otherwise they'll become a bigger threat than the Brotherhood of Steel or the Gunners.
Yea they both have that attribuite, but you Need to consider the fact than the minuteman have a much more organized (atleast at a basic level) military Power, not counting the fact than they can produce food and they held the economy of the Commonwealth. Yea the raiders and the minuteman are really similar in the fact than they both spread, but the minuteman would probably do guerriglia warfare, so tryng to destroy the minuteman Is like tryng to invade Vietnam, every single soul Is a potential soldier.
@@yaboideathwishthat's exactly what makes the Raiders stronger than the Minutemen what they believe no rules No Boundaries unlimited potential if you have boundaries morals that's going to hold you back especially in combat
mate, the minutemen are the goat build them up spend time building there strength up farms, settlements etc and there are unstoppable also cool little edit this, united we stand!
That wold be amazing i recon fallout 5 or 6 shold take place in the commonwealth again n like the sole survivor in fo4 is genral n this time a army of riders tookover a secret vault in the commonwealth n killed everyone but you escaped then u have the choice of joining either the ncr mm or brotherhood to go to war with like a massive army of raiders eg nukaworld raiders n im tryna say were theres more raiders than mm ncr n brotherhood combined so u can either chose to pick just one faction n lose or have a aliance with all 3 to win the war but it wold be amazing if the map was bigger than 76s
The Minutemen controls all of the East Coast, the NCR all of the West Coast... tbh the NCR and Minutemen would help each other fight the BoS before attacking each other while both are weakened.
@@Andrewbaysura1 I think the enclave would become part of the mix eventually because as we saw in fallout 76 they are still a force in the wasteland land.
@@LincolnTeale-bp3vl yeah but I think that what would be even better is that it wasn’t raiders but the enclave trying to regain their status as a major force that you could side with but if you went with the alliance or singular like you did they would all either turn against you and the wasteland plunges into forever fighting or two of the forces unionize and the third one betrays them.
The minute man ending is the cannon ending to fallout 4 and if u actually want to fully immerge u can get creation club content gunner vs minute man for 2 mis:war paint and defend castle 2 And u can give everyone a power armour to make it like they really are back and u can put them military combat armour and if u want new weapons
Tbf the minutemen are the only faction you control as the player and so you personally can decide the outcome of things if they win as compared to the other factions who all have established leaders with their own goals that you may disagree with, it just sucks as leader you dont actually control anything and are more or less forced into doing all the many menial tasks of a grunt with the title of a general, feels like that was never thought out but oh well still the best faction in a crap faction situation
People give Preston so much shit but it is the right call for him to take a back seat to his own faction’s leadership. He knows who he is and how he can help most. Dude was not okay when you meet him and that’s understandable
The canon ending to fallout 4 could be the minutemen ending or the brotherhood of steel ending because the brotherhoods big air ship is in the show i believe
The Minutemen are talked up so much in the lore, honestly i can understand why they're weak in fallout, nobody becomes strong overnight, the other factions had likely years to get to their state and the Minutemen get close in a few weeks, so by that logic The Minutemen are technically the most overpowered faction in The Commonwealth.
Actually, it is canonicall that The MM are potentially the strongest from the start of the game. They have the most numbers, they are just divided. (that's why they were falling) In the game we just bring them together using beacons. They have laser muskets, which is insanelly strong. They have strong set of actually Righteous ideals which drive people towards them. They have access to resources, huge resources unlike any other faction. Only thing separating them from being strongest faction as an organisation is... organising. All they need is to get united, which actually could do ANYONE, they don't need SS in padticular, it just happens that it was him. While other 3 factions need the particular position that Nate has within eachothers ranks to win, without the Nate they are in stalemate, and any open attacks will destroy all the fighting sides. (At this point i realised that writing Sole Survivors with initials might trigger some YT algorithm xD) And army with sheer awesomnes of their sick beats, will crush any enemy. Imagine a regiment of fully equipped MM, with a giant speaker tuned on freedom. And just after crushing a horde of bandits, with them laying dead or wounded you hear "it's all quiet now, stay safe out there". Also, in one quest line, if we fail to contact the spy, Desdemona says the only one with forces strong enough to defeat Institute are The MM. But that's just a fun fact, not a point to make. (Maybe a little)
So your telling me that the late game game bandits still have a garented win against lat game minute men even thought they your saying that they would stomp every other faction?
@@seekerlieutenant5821 yeah it was a miss understanding I didn't see the minus you put next to the 100% when you were showing the percentage chance of the raider faction winning against the late game minute men.
I consider the ending where the brotherhood, railroad and minutemen survive to be canon, the minutemen will likely take control, the railroad will either dissipate or try to help synths, and the brotherhood will stay for a bit before leaving for some other place.
@@bonkboyo3644 I need to agree with him. Of course if they have the player, they could maybe ahve no chance, but if we let the Minutemen and the Nuka raider gangs fight. The Nuka Raiders would come out as winner, and I bet it would be the Disciples.
@vagyokcopytroll4894 eh maybe. I would love to see the Minutemen return. Kinda like the NCR from the old games to New Vegas. But a strong and interesting raider faction similar to Nuka world DLC would be interesting...
By the time I hit endgame the fort was loaded with so many sets of minute men power armour Arthur maxson himself would’ve creamed his draws at the sight of it.
MM do have the most potential second is between BOS & Institute. MM have the sheer numbers & one good leader gives them the resources and a good number of artillery is a cheat code
from the creators of "a single dude can decide who gets the hoover dam" comes "a single dude decides which military group gets the nuke and which gets the commonwealth"
Still head of minuteman is prewar military officer who isn't ghoul or something like that.. so if enough strength than minuteman could fight The Enclave.
@@Nechay.nah the enclave would tear the little settlements populated with people who have Laser Muskets absolutely apart. Enclave at its full strength is pretty hard to be stopped
Honestly, if we ever get an official lore, the Minutemen ARE a powerhouse at the end of the game. They have artillery, the NCR and BoS doesn't have artillery. They have an airforce, the NCR didn't even have a full fledged airforce. They had a strong sense of unity and genuine Patriotism, nobody else had Patriotism like the Minutemen. And now they have countless volunteers joining up headed by a strong Sole survivor with pre war US army training like the world has never seen before!
@creativeyoutubeaccountname1813 buy how long did it take the NCR to get to around half a million citizens and thousands of soldiers? The Minutemen are completely restarting, and in their first year of it, they defeated the Institute and the BoS, got artillery, and become local legends with potentially hundreds to thousands in and around Boston.
@Andrewbaysura1 100k people can't fit inside such a small territory. The Minutmen are just a private militia, they aren't meant to be a powerful faction anyways. It's basically Boston vs the entire California state. There is NO debate. Minutmen get slaughtered every time
@Andrewbaysura1 The Minutmen are not big enough. They don't have the territory, they don't have the resources, they don't even have a chain in command. None of that is canon to Fallout 4. All they have is preston, player, and some settlers, if you even count settlments as being apart of the Minutmen anyways. The Brotherhood or the Institute allied with them could hold some victories possibly. This is an entire civilization vs a city full of men dressed up with cloth and goofy looking hats.
I dont know what it is about being called GENERAL. Having your OWN army, the flares and artillery work even BETTER in survival mode. Just kinda wish they did more with them tho. Like sending a sqaud to a place or a squad with you until you dismiss them. Ballistic weave on the General's coat and hat, minutemen getting power armor and better gear. Having no fast travel in survival mode sucks, so i try to keep the BOS alive for the vertibirds.
The minutemen in my play through every settlement I have found has 5 suits of mixed t45 and t51 and the weaker settlements have some t60 A-B models left over from scavenging stuff, the castle settlement I am planning will include my 2 sets of hellfire and all my other t45 and t60 power armours.
Wait a minute. This Brotherhood of Steel annihilated the enclave canonly: "The Enclave put up a tenacious final stand but were ultimately annihilated by the Brotherhood's forces"
@@grimgrauman7650 mind you because the reason why the BOS even stand a sliver change against them is because of the Lone Wanderer, a time bending god and because leniency of the Enclave. The first reason is self explanatory because the plot demand you to win against them just like the Chosen did in Fo2. The second is that the Enclave can just wipe out the BOS in the citadel using the orbital cannon but decided not to because they feared it will damage the Pentagon, a building of historic stature.
@@bunnitomoe3866 after fo2 the enclave was still quite strong, but was pushed back by the brotherhood &Ncr until they mostly went east or go into hiding. They are not that crasy strong unless they have some kind of superbase they can operate from (for that you can give credit to the player character, destroying the base)
@@grimgrauman7650 here's the thing, they lose alot of their peoples during the exploition of their oil rig, including most of their supplies, technology, etc. Although they were some still holdup at Navarro, they got overun possibly 20-1 against both the NCR and BOS, it was never a fair fight. Not to mention that alot of the enclave left Navarro to go to Raven Rock in Washington D.C. because Eden called out to them to come.
Immagine being raidets and you see someone in the distance Then you realize you are trying to rob the wrong person You attempted to rob THE Muniteman (sole survivor)
BOS is my personal fav, they were so peaceful with the MM, in fact I first gave the institute holotape to Proctor Ingram then came back to ask for it again to give to sturges, and she was fine with it. I don’t know why the MM would destroy the BOS when all they did was destroy threats. Idk, it’s just weird for me
It’s more the brotherhood and minute men beliefs aren’t completely compatible. BOS are only in it for “pure human” and hog technology and resources that could be used to rebuild society while the minute men want to help everyone and use everything they have to rebuild society. The minute men would not be happy with them crippling the common wealth due to their obsession with horsing technology and attacking the ghoulish and synth settlers and it would most likely lead to a massive conflict while on the other hand the BOS would not be happy with the minute men using technology to help others as well as the pro non human movement they are apart of. If it was the Lyons brotherhood the minute men would get along with just fine old BOS they’d go to war Maxims BOS you need the Sole Survivor to keep the peace.
I have no clue what this video is even supposed to mean. And yes, multiple playthroughs each faction. MM are the most kind option available and as far as I can tell are never at odds with RR, Acadia, CoA, or even really the Brotherhood or Institute. Its just people trying to live a decent life without an agenda (aside from dont mess with me or mine)
The Enclave is weak and they are hiding in Chicago, which isn't really that far from the minutemen since they grow incredibly fast thanks to their allies.
The brotherhood would destroy the Minutemen any day any time because it's just farmers with pipe pistols vs trained soldiers with high tech armor and guns with a nuke throwing robot
i wouldn't be that sure, yea the BoS would have a superior technology and they would propably take the Castle After a extremely hard Battle, but After that the BoS Is going to face and entire territory, like in the Vietnam war, every single settler, trader and Civilian can be a minute man, they would ultimately Loss or abbandon that campain, It would be to time cost.
The reason I'm considered a "Heathen" and perfer Fallout 4 to New Vegas is The Minutemen, tbh. In NV, as good of a game as it is, you have no Good options on who you want to win. House is just a Control Freak, The Legion is basically a "Cultured" Raider Gang and the NCR is more corrupt than OG Las Vegas ever was(and it was originally built by THE MAFIA). The Minutemen so far has been the only Faction in Fallout History to not have an Ulterior motive for helping you, Preston was honestly being a nice guy.
That’s exactly why NV is so good. It doesn’t just offer a cliche good guy ending, but instead forces you have to make a hard choice in what faction YOU personally believe is the best future for the Mojave. Having a “right” choice as to what faction to choose is dumb imo. Why would anyone ever side with the Institute for example? They are the generic bad guys, and offer little to no insensitive to actually ever choose them over any other faction in the game when looking at what they offer the world. Come to think of it, wtf are the Institute’s goals actually..?
@@matheuslelo1197 ah yes, anarchy and lawless mojave wasteland. I prefer House, although he is a narcissist, he actually got plan, he always back his word up with action, when he said he will colonize another planet, i believe him
Nuka world raiders are strong and intelligent if u think about it They can unite and have a chance of taking over the whole commonwealth although its a slim chance
@@AmeenAlnaimiit’d be pretty hard for them do to conflicts involving the various factions and overboss. The last overboss was apparently lazy and just sat in the tower he had. And if not given enough territory one faction will turn on the rest. So taking over the commonwealth would be pretty hard for them with those factors against them.
I mean The minutemen have the most powerful and genocidal being in the Commonwealth at their disposal Which is also their highest ranking Commanding Officer
Minutemen is literally NCR (New Commonwealth Republic) with you as it's first president And its the only faction where it makes visual changes, if you played Preston's chores and put effort on settlements. Streets are much patrolled, less random faction shootouts on streets, ect. Its very noticeable, especially in Survival mode, that the wasteland slowly turns into a less hostile area
The Brotherhood of Steel can still wreck them. What would happen if the artillery couldn't reach the prydwen for example. You can indeed build the minutemen into a very dangerous faction but I don't believe the game's creators ever intended them to be a group equivalent to the gunners. That's essentially what they are fully upgraded, maybe a little more dangerous. They don't have access to vertibirds or any air power, also the Minutemen have a power armor design but other than a single suit at the Fort canonically they do not use it. Or at least I have never seen a member have it on. I feel like just building the teleporter to get into the Institute would be almost impossible for them realistically, the only reason I say that is the state of the Minuteman that we first find them is not an organization that would have resources to undertake construction projects let alone conflicts like this, it would take them several years to rebuild and prepare. They basically have just the artillery and that's the big factor. But once you leave its range capability it leaves their ace in the hole pretty limited. Also anyone using the strategy of "grabbing the enemy by the belt" meaning getting so close to your enemy that they can't use heavy weapons like artillery is also a weakness for them. The Brotherhood of Steel also discovered artillery as well when they attack that mutant fort (forgot name, Fort Strong?) any way this includes munitions for liberty prime and large amounts of artillery rounds.
Imagine how crazy it must be for a practically dead faction to revive because of a single person and become able to annihilate everything effortlessly.. The player character is basically God in this game
Minor spoiler for fallout show MM ending is almost certainly canon now since we see the Prydwen in the show, which is only possible from the MM and BOS endings
So me personally I’m playing on survival and that vertibird is so damn useful that I could care less about the minutemen Maybe if they permanently remove the one woman that’s always aggressive in the beginning of the game then maybe I’d keep the trouble of not being able to fast travel
Honestly the MM ending is the most fun imo because the institute attacks the castle, you find a way into the institute that doesn't involve teleporting, and plus Prestons perk is pretty good (You do more damage the more you're outnumbered in combat)
Now one thing ya must know knight tide pod will destroy the minute men he absolutely choke slammed 2 behemoths ignore his loud snoring don’t mind the fact he’s a mutated death claw we don’t know how it works but he’s like 4x the size of a normal death claw and he has his own custom room in the barracks to even fit em
I think the Canon ending is the mm only cuz they are the only faction that allows you to work with the bos and rr in the vanilla game against the institute the other two make you fight the other before fighting the institute.
I mean, you could say the same thing about every other faction just depends on which one you pick because the only reason Minuteman win in their ending was plot armor, and most evidence from the fallout TV show says that the brotherhood ending is canon
We probably won’t. Show is fully on the west coast so far. It would be neat if they at least got a mention at some point, since it seems the show went with the MM ending is canon.
My first play through was an anti-hero with troubles that tried to help America though his military service and minute men campaign. He turned every civilian into a trained soldier and armed every single one of them. Declared martial law on the common wealth. United we stand
The minutemen ending is the most likely the canon ending of fallout 4
Hopefully so, would love to see the Minutemen become something like the NCR. just minus the taxes 👀
@@seekerlieutenant5821 just imagine minuteman are controlling the east side of USA and NCR is western one, the minuteman-NCR war would be great

I personally think the canon ending is the minutemen ending with both the brotherhood and railroad at peace.
But doesn't the BOS want to exterminate all ghouls and synths?
@@orion8234 if you genuinely think they want to exterminate all ghouls, you clearly have not had Paladin Danse in your party for more than 3 minutes. If you sell Billy to slavery or are mean to the silver shroud guy, he condemns you and hates your actions. They have no hostility towards non-feral ghouls except maybe some mean comments. As a matter of fact Maxson’s BOS is more tolerable than Lyon’s BOS. And on the topic of synths, synths were created by the BOS’s enemy, obviously they’re gonna hate/be afraid of them. But since the BOS is so bad let’s talk about the railroad. The railroad only help synths and even after destroying the institute and freeing the synths, they don’t help people at all, focusing solely on helping their stupid robot waifus. Not to mention the railroad are the ones who start the conflict with the BOS as Desdemona says herself that the brotherhood are enemies before they even have a chance to set up shop. Same goes for the minutemen, the brotherhood don’t attack first, you do. The brotherhood are the only faction with the supplies to rebuild the commonwealth anyway.
I doubt the brotherhood would be alive in the canon ending. The Minutemen and the railroad hate the brotherhood, for good reason. The only time the brotherhood were really the good guys was in Fallout 3, and Fallout 4 makes it explicitly clear that the brotherhood has since gone back to its older ways.
@@LordBeef the minutemen do not hate the brotherhood and you’re fucking stupid if you think they do. The minutemen only hate the brotherhood if YOU attack the brotherhood. The SS is the one who creates the hostility between the Minutemen and BOS. Meaning if the minutemen have a problem with the brotherhood it’s because YOU decides to go on a ideological rampage and kill whoever doesn’t agree with you (Ahem Italian blackshirts) and Maxson combined the ways of lyons and the classic brotherhood, he still helps people, lyons brotherhood were more racist than maxsons as they killed innocent non feral ghouls, maxsons BOS doesn’t, they’re mean to them, but they don’t kill them.
@@LordBeef I'd think the minutemen would tolerate the BOS, but would safeguard the Railroad without getting into a full blown war with the brotherhood. At least until the Prydwen leaves.

Once you have put a few dozen and even a few hundred hours into settlements mods related to the minutemen (buffed militia mod), they can easily defeat all forces in the commonwealth, the best part is that you feel more connected to the minutemen because you see it at its lowest point, and witness its rise to its prime, from just a few straggling survivors from the Quincy Massacre & a Sole Survivor that just entered the world of fallout with no experience, to a force to be reckoned with, thats the beauty of Fallout.
Same with institute tho, if you instal multiple mods, that make it more appealing. Coursers and synths become way more of a threat, no other faction really stands a chance.

Coolest I felt playing the minutemen ending was when I blew up the institute and just yelled "I am the minute MAN!"
I like roleplaying as an Enclave Remnant, (I play modded PC), and I basically build up the Minutemen as a visionary of what the Enclave could have done to the wastes.
Imagine if Colonel Autumm succeeded on his goal...
W.
The Enclave is the most evil faction in the games while the minutemans are the most good people in the games, this doesn't make sense, the minutemans would try to stop the Enclave because of their crimes against the world and against Americans, even if they think they are the good guys. See you in chicago in fallout 5: minutemen against the Enclave and a fraction of the brotherhood of steel.
When you install an artillery piece to each and every settlement in the commonwealth. 💀
Artillery is overrated. Missle turrets are underrated
I did do that, I also installed a mod too make the artillery strike quicker so it’s the same strength but it comes down before the target dies of old age because 90 second for the bombardment is too long, you can’t use the Damm feature.

@@rnealjones9850well you can destroy the Institute without killing the b.o.s. or the railroads, the railroads will even help you if you want. This is how the minutemen got strong: by creating alliances, tho I don't think that they will remain an ally to this fraction of the b.o.s., maybe in a future fallout 5 in Chicago you will choose a faction between the Enclave, the minutemen, the fascist b.o.s. and the capital b.o.s., the last ones could also be allied to the minutemen.
Although the minutemen fell at the Gunners stand during the fight of Quincy, they got a new general, and while empowered by the force of the greif, revenge was taken. First they defeated the deathclaw and raiders trapping them in the museum of freedom in Concord, Moving up to sanctuary, they took back settlements, leading to the quest of the castle. Taking a sneak attack commanded by the general, they killed all the mirelurks and eggs at the castle, luring out the queen, and with the help of the Sole Survivor (General), They had slain the Mirelurk Queen. A long time later, they were tasked with building the teleportation machine for the Sole Survivor. With this done, the Soul Survivor traveled to the Institute, Killed The Father, regained the info tape and gave the minutemen Conformation to destroy the instutute. Now with the Institute destroyed, they could go on with phase 2 of the plan. The Brotherhood.
Like for part 2!!!

The brotherhood is the second biggest threat to the commonwealth, which needs to be destroyed
Okay, now move the sole survivor to ANY other faction, or have him not get involved and then those odds go back to 100% the minutemen are useless without your character
That's the point of your character for the minuteman
Every other faction doesn't need you at all really they can all basically survive without you
As for the minuteman it's like your player a nobody turning nobody's into somebody
@@xBlaze6180 exactly, so it's not late game minutemen that are winning, it's the late game sole survivor, the minutemen could be nowhere and the player can still win
I wouldn't say completely useless, they're just not strong enough to compete with any other faction. it's a death sentence at that point 😆 at the beginning it's just you and Preston
@captainpandaz6861 most likely
The minutemen have more troops than any faction during the late game, they have artillery support with is devastating, they have advanced logistics thanks to Ronnie Shaw, Advanced technological understanding thanks to Sturges, Strong leadership with Garvey, and a slowly expanding core of standardization thanks to Anne Hargroves.
One of the things I’ve always hated about the Minutemen is how dependent they are on ONE person, the general (you).
They send you to take care of petty problems, look at you for guidance for damn near everything, and literally fell apart because they had only a single guy to hold things together. If they could just spread out the power they give to those in power, they would have a much better chance of survival.
Yeah, that Sucks, after the general died they basically got fragmentated into múltiple groups, there was Quincy guys, libertalia guys (the raiders there were once minutemen) and probably a lot More.
I mean the settlement attacks are just for game mechanics but in reality the general would be sending other people to defend those settlements
BOS somehow managed to almost die to ghouls even though they had a power armor
That what a leader do, everything is on you
Actually, no. We see that in that one Institute quest. It’s obviously just there for gameplay purposes, but the game itself confirms that the Minutemen work great with or without you. Though naturally better with a competent general, as has been seen in the past.
Minutemen are nothing without the Sole Survivor, the faction that has the highest possibility of winning without intervention of the Sole Survivor is most definitely the Institute.
They can do anything with a good leader like the past
True but if we're being honest no faction has a chance without the sole survivor. as all appear to be struggling when you first meet them.
No, each faction can have settlements. The brotherhood can solo the institute without the sole survivor. The Minitumen is still super powerful with the SS at their side. The MM can send the SS to deal with anything and he will accomplish anything, Without the SS, the leadership for the MM would fail even if the SS sustained an economy of settlements across the commonwealth already. The MM would win every time against the Brotherhood if the SS has maxed out settlements, but that really isn’t the MM anymore because you can make settlements for any faction besides the MM (for example my outpost zimonjia is a brotherhood settlement). Btw the Railroad is complete fodder compared to the other 3 factions, it also doesn’t make sense to side with them because have no real long term goals execpt to free the institutes creations.
Sorry for the bad English.
Yea
Institute one love
Only way the minute men make a come back is because the soul survivor
Yup pretty much, Preston says as much himself. If it wasn't for the sole survior Preston would probably help sanctuary set up go out to help a settlement deal with the jarred raiders only to let that be his suicide letter after falling into a deep depression from the death of all his friends and faction.
That’s the point of the video
@@adonutlol1697 so if the sole survivor helped any other faction the minutemen are just basically done. This video is just a massive cope.
@@Faustin_DucasseYes and no. No other fraction in the commonwealth profitize more about the SS in their group than the Minutemen.
So the Minutemen with SS are stronger than a Brotherhood of Steel with SS
@@The_Bricklayerthe Brotherhood of Steel have Liberty Prime and the best soldier that has ever existed another Survivor on the Minute Man's team would not change shit
The Minutemen remind me of the Inquisition or the Grey Wardens from Dragon Age. They emerge and grow strong when they're needed, and when the crisis has passed, they wither away and retreat into the shadows.
I love the fact that you have to rebuild the minutemen from nothing to an army
Here’s an idea, The minute men and railroad combine forces, with the vault dweller leading the former and working for the latter, he could allow the railroad to use minutemen’s bases as synth hideouts, solving their outpost issue while granting the minutemen access to the railroads superior armour technology. They’d boost their influence over the commonwealth in secret while the institute or Bos believes the Railroad has perished
Wat song is this
@@justinlang6120after dark
I love how you just made one of the best gaming ideas ever and 1 person says "wat song is this?"
They could make it to where you're the inside man inside the BoS so you know what the BoS next move is and tell it to the RR and MM. You then convince the BoS to "wipeout" the RR and you "confirm" that there are no survivors. Convincing the BoS that the RR is truly dead. From there your idea would take place. Using MM settlements to hide runaway synths(RAS) They could even go further and make a series of unending quests like the following
1.)someone found out about the secret secret operation of RR and you must track eliminate the threat before they tell the BoS. Whether you convince, threaten or kill the person.
2.) The BoS decides to start searching for remnants of the RR or RAS. The sole survivor can either lead the mission their own way to steer the BoS away from certain Settlements deemed RR operations or he can go ahead of the BoS and tell the RR and RAS that the BoS are coming. You can either relocate the operation to a different base, or you can build a hidden bunker for the RR and RAS to hide in until the BoS walks away(of course the bunker would have to be added to the workshop)
@@johnathanbotto742 I had thought of having the Sole survivor lead a fake BOS attack on the old north church and other known RR territories simultaneously, making it look like we are destroying them without leaving any time to recover, cementing the rouse and protecting the Railroad in secret, melding them into minutemen settlements as ordinary citizens.
And to make it even more badass, they need to restore cut content of you challenging BoS' elder on behalf of Dance, winning the fight, taking his place, and using all three factions to forge perfect future not only for Commonwealth, but eventually expanding to any near territory.
That seriously has to be a global mod for all this. Let's give some creators the idea

The thing about the Minutemen that makes them have a greater advantage over the other factions is the fact that they aren't in just one area, they are spread around other settlements. You destroy one settlement there's still others. You have to kill every single one of them otherwise they'll become a bigger threat than the Brotherhood of Steel or the Gunners.
The only "faction" that would be more dangerous than them would be the raiders, who are pretty much the same in terms of location minus the morals.
Yea they both have that attribuite, but you Need to consider the fact than the minuteman have a much more organized (atleast at a basic level) military Power, not counting the fact than they can produce food and they held the economy of the Commonwealth.
Yea the raiders and the minuteman are really similar in the fact than they both spread, but the minuteman would probably do guerriglia warfare, so tryng to destroy the minuteman Is like tryng to invade Vietnam, every single soul Is a potential soldier.

The Minutemen controls all of the East Coast, the NCR all of the West Coast... tbh the NCR and Minutemen would help each other fight the BoS before attacking each other while both are weakened.
@@Andrewbaysura1 I think the enclave would become part of the mix eventually because as we saw in fallout 76 they are still a force in the wasteland land.
@@LincolnTeale-bp3vl yeah but I think that what would be even better is that it wasn’t raiders but the enclave trying to regain their status as a major force that you could side with but if you went with the alliance or singular like you did they would all either turn against you and the wasteland plunges into forever fighting or two of the forces unionize and the third one betrays them.
The minute man ending is the cannon ending to fallout 4 and if u actually want to fully immerge u can get creation club content gunner vs minute man for 2 mis:war paint and defend castle 2
And u can give everyone a power armour to make it like they really are back and u can put them military combat armour and if u want new weapons
I would have joined the minutemen if I didn’t have to hear “Another settlement has sent word they need our help. I’ll mark it on your map.”
Tbf the minutemen are the only faction you control as the player and so you personally can decide the outcome of things if they win as compared to the other factions who all have established leaders with their own goals that you may disagree with, it just sucks as leader you dont actually control anything and are more or less forced into doing all the many menial tasks of a grunt with the title of a general, feels like that was never thought out but oh well still the best faction in a crap faction situation
People give Preston so much shit but it is the right call for him to take a back seat to his own faction’s leadership. He knows who he is and how he can help most. Dude was not okay when you meet him and that’s understandable
The only reason to side with the minuteman is to keep both the railroad and the bos as friends
The canon ending to fallout 4 could be the minutemen ending or the brotherhood of steel ending because the brotherhoods big air ship is in the show i believe
FOR THE MINUTEMEN UNITED WE STAND I WILL DIE FOR EVERYONE TO BE UNITED
The Minutemen are talked up so much in the lore, honestly i can understand why they're weak in fallout, nobody becomes strong overnight, the other factions had likely years to get to their state and the Minutemen get close in a few weeks, so by that logic The Minutemen are technically the most overpowered faction in The Commonwealth.
Nice edit sir, but there is a settlement that needs your help, I have marked the location on your map
Actually, it is canonicall that The MM are potentially the strongest from the start of the game.
They have the most numbers, they are just divided. (that's why they were falling)
In the game we just bring them together using beacons.
They have laser muskets, which is insanelly strong.
They have strong set of actually Righteous ideals which drive people towards them.
They have access to resources, huge resources unlike any other faction.
Only thing separating them from being strongest faction as an organisation is... organising.
All they need is to get united, which actually could do ANYONE, they don't need SS in padticular, it just happens that it was him.
While other 3 factions need the particular position that Nate has within eachothers ranks to win, without the Nate they are in stalemate, and any open attacks will destroy all the fighting sides. (At this point i realised that writing Sole Survivors with initials might trigger some YT algorithm xD)
And army with sheer awesomnes of their sick beats, will crush any enemy.
Imagine a regiment of fully equipped MM, with a giant speaker tuned on freedom.
And just after crushing a horde of bandits, with them laying dead or wounded you hear "it's all quiet now, stay safe out there".
Also, in one quest line, if we fail to contact the spy, Desdemona says the only one with forces strong enough to defeat Institute are The MM. But that's just a fun fact, not a point to make. (Maybe a little)
So your telling me that the late game game bandits still have a garented win against lat game minute men even thought they your saying that they would stomp every other faction?

They have artillery, the NCR and BoS doesn't have artillery.
They have an airforce, the NCR didn't even have a full fledged airforce.
They had a strong sense of unity and genuine Patriotism, nobody else had Patriotism like the Minutemen.
And now they have countless volunteers joining up headed by a strong Sole survivor with pre war US army training like the world has never seen before!
The NCR has around 200k members. The minutmen couldn't even hope to come close to those numbers
@creativeyoutubeaccountname1813 buy how long did it take the NCR to get to around half a million citizens and thousands of soldiers?
The Minutemen are completely restarting, and in their first year of it, they defeated the Institute and the BoS, got artillery, and become local legends with potentially hundreds to thousands in and around Boston.
@Andrewbaysura1 100k people can't fit inside such a small territory. The Minutmen are just a private militia, they aren't meant to be a powerful faction anyways.
It's basically Boston vs the entire California state. There is NO debate. Minutmen get slaughtered every time
@Andrewbaysura1 The Minutmen are not big enough. They don't have the territory, they don't have the resources, they don't even have a chain in command. None of that is canon to Fallout 4.

BOS is my personal fav, they were so peaceful with the MM, in fact I first gave the institute holotape to Proctor Ingram then came back to ask for it again to give to sturges, and she was fine with it. I don’t know why the MM would destroy the BOS when all they did was destroy threats. Idk, it’s just weird for me
It’s more the brotherhood and minute men beliefs aren’t completely compatible. BOS are only in it for “pure human” and hog technology and resources that could be used to rebuild society while the minute men want to help everyone and use everything they have to rebuild society. The minute men would not be happy with them crippling the common wealth due to their obsession with horsing technology and attacking the ghoulish and synth settlers and it would most likely lead to a massive conflict while on the other hand the BOS would not be happy with the minute men using technology to help others as well as the pro non human movement they are apart of. If it was the Lyons brotherhood the minute men would get along with just fine old BOS they’d go to war Maxims BOS you need the Sole Survivor to keep the peace.
“YOU” make the minuteman powerful
No shit it's how fallout works
I have no clue what this video is even supposed to mean. And yes, multiple playthroughs each faction. MM are the most kind option available and as far as I can tell are never at odds with RR, Acadia, CoA, or even really the Brotherhood or Institute.
Its just people trying to live a decent life without an agenda (aside from dont mess with me or mine)
* but glad the enclave appears *
That x-01 will not stop the ultimate life form, PRISTON GARBY
The Enclave is weak and they are hiding in Chicago, which isn't really that far from the minutemen since they grow incredibly fast thanks to their allies.
"-0%" has me dead 😂
Dont you mean, "Win rate against the Sole Survivor"?
call in Artillery and the flair gun bring Preston then you got yourself the minutemen victory in this video
@mal1362 Technically, if this where to happen against the brotherhood, Preston would be the only one left standing because he is unkillable.
@@mal1362 Minutmen would get slaughtered in 1v1 senario
Half of the comments here are written better than the actual game. The lost potential is staggering.
The brotherhood would destroy the Minutemen any day any time because it's just farmers with pipe pistols vs trained soldiers with high tech armor and guns with a nuke throwing robot
Not my modded minutemen hehe
@@josephbowman9998 if mods are allowed then brotherhood still slams
i wouldn't be that sure, yea the BoS would have a superior technology and they would propably take the Castle After a extremely hard Battle, but After that the BoS Is going to face and entire territory, like in the Vietnam war, every single settler, trader and Civilian can be a minute man, they would ultimately Loss or abbandon that campain, It would be to time cost.
@@El.fish.the.chocolate my a10 mod says otherwise lmaooo
@@josephbowman9998 ok lad.
If you have the liberty reborn mod, the minutemen become true to their word
The reason I'm considered a "Heathen" and perfer Fallout 4 to New Vegas is The Minutemen, tbh. In NV, as good of a game as it is, you have no Good options on who you want to win. House is just a Control Freak, The Legion is basically a "Cultured" Raider Gang and the NCR is more corrupt than OG Las Vegas ever was(and it was originally built by THE MAFIA). The Minutemen so far has been the only Faction in Fallout History to not have an Ulterior motive for helping you, Preston was honestly being a nice guy.
That’s exactly why NV is so good. It doesn’t just offer a cliche good guy ending, but instead forces you have to make a hard choice in what faction YOU personally believe is the best future for the Mojave. Having a “right” choice as to what faction to choose is dumb imo. Why would anyone ever side with the Institute for example? They are the generic bad guys, and offer little to no insensitive to actually ever choose them over any other faction in the game when looking at what they offer the world. Come to think of it, wtf are the Institute’s goals actually..?
thats why i always go with the yes man ending
@@matheuslelo1197 ah yes, anarchy and lawless mojave wasteland. I prefer House, although he is a narcissist, he actually got plan, he always back his word up with action, when he said he will colonize another planet, i believe him
We, the Minute Men, can defeat any foe with the power of friendship and our entire army of artillery we found.
Raiders are like the weakest
free loot!
Nuka world raiders are strong and intelligent if u think about it
They can unite and have a chance of taking over the whole commonwealth although its a slim chance
@@AmeenAlnaimiit’d be pretty hard for them do to conflicts involving the various factions and overboss. The last overboss was apparently lazy and just sat in the tower he had. And if not given enough territory one faction will turn on the rest. So taking over the commonwealth would be pretty hard for them with those factors against them.
I mean
The minutemen have the most powerful and genocidal being in the Commonwealth at their disposal
Which is also their highest ranking Commanding Officer
Those who oppose the enclave will fall
God Bless The Enclave, and God Bless America🇺🇸🦅
@@TheLawnMowingMan yaaaa!!! America!!!!
Minutemen is literally NCR (New Commonwealth Republic) with you as it's first president
And its the only faction where it makes visual changes, if you played Preston's chores and put effort on settlements. Streets are much patrolled, less random faction shootouts on streets, ect.
Its very noticeable, especially in Survival mode, that the wasteland slowly turns into a less hostile area
HAIL CAESAR!!!!!!!1! 🐂⚔️🔥🚩🏜️
The Brotherhood of Steel can still wreck them. What would happen if the artillery couldn't reach the prydwen for example. You can indeed build the minutemen into a very dangerous faction but I don't believe the game's creators ever intended them to be a group equivalent to the gunners. That's essentially what they are fully upgraded, maybe a little more dangerous. They don't have access to vertibirds or any air power, also the Minutemen have a power armor design but other than a single suit at the Fort canonically they do not use it. Or at least I have never seen a member have it on. I feel like just building the teleporter to get into the Institute would be almost impossible for them realistically, the only reason I say that is the state of the Minuteman that we first find them is not an organization that would have resources to undertake construction projects let alone conflicts like this, it would take them several years to rebuild and prepare. They basically have just the artillery and that's the big factor. But once you leave its range capability it leaves their ace in the hole pretty limited. Also anyone using the strategy of "grabbing the enemy by the belt" meaning getting so close to your enemy that they can't use heavy weapons like artillery is also a weakness for them. The Brotherhood of Steel also discovered artillery as well when they attack that mutant fort (forgot name, Fort Strong?) any way this includes munitions for liberty prime and large amounts of artillery rounds.
Imagine how crazy it must be for a practically dead faction to revive because of a single person and become able to annihilate everything effortlessly.. The player character is basically God in this game
Minor spoiler for fallout show
MM ending is almost certainly canon now since we see the Prydwen in the show, which is only possible from the MM and BOS endings
So me personally I’m playing on survival and that vertibird is so damn useful that I could care less about the minutemen
Maybe if they permanently remove the one woman that’s always aggressive in the beginning of the game then maybe I’d keep the trouble of not being able to fast travel
Honestly the MM ending is the most fun imo because the institute attacks the castle, you find a way into the institute that doesn't involve teleporting, and plus Prestons perk is pretty good (You do more damage the more you're outnumbered in combat)
Now one thing ya must know knight tide pod will destroy the minute men he absolutely choke slammed 2 behemoths ignore his loud snoring don’t mind the fact he’s a mutated death claw we don’t know how it works but he’s like 4x the size of a normal death claw and he has his own custom room in the barracks to even fit em
I am not afraid of an army of lions (BOS) led by a sheep I am afraid of an army of sheep (Minutemen) lead by a lion (sole)
They should've done the last quest was the retaking of quincy with all the other settlements you recuted
When they attack a settlement where you already waste to time to recollect enough resources to build over 100 automatic and lethal laser turrets 💀.
Never thought Id see Minuteman glazing
I think the Canon ending is the mm only cuz they are the only faction that allows you to work with the bos and rr in the vanilla game against the institute the other two make you fight the other before fighting the institute.
I mean, you could say the same thing about every other faction just depends on which one you pick because the only reason Minuteman win in their ending was plot armor, and most evidence from the fallout TV show says that the brotherhood ending is canon
All of those going in the room with soul survivor and the soul survivor is the only one coming out
I haven't seen the fallout show on prime yet but i hope we see the minutemen for at least one season
We probably won’t. Show is fully on the west coast so far. It would be neat if they at least got a mention at some point, since it seems the show went with the MM ending is canon.
When you have 20 sentry bots in all of your setlement ...
My first play through was an anti-hero with troubles that tried to help America though his military service and minute men campaign. He turned every civilian into a trained soldier and armed every single one of them. Declared martial law on the common wealth. United we stand
Depends on if the main character sides with them if it’s just pure strength they would probably lose. It just wouldn’t make sense
Liberty reborn mod makes the minutemen look as tough as the pre war is army with absolutely unbeatable forces
