I'd say the Brotherhood would want to crush the Children of Atom to take control of the Nucleus.

_"...then head back to the Institute for a nice protein cube and rehydrated water."_ You mean... they have dehydrated water?

Your minutemen ending was exactly what I did for my minutemen character.

The Minutemen are already enemies with the Children of Atom in the Commonwealth - largely because you annexed Kingsport Lighthouse from the Children of Atom. And then attacked the nearby Crater house. So, a Minutemen allied ending would be one where DiMa surrenders but Acadia is spared because you helped Mitch, Bertha and Dalton take settlements and helped the Mariner fortify the island. So we get the “shut up Allen” scene. And then blow up the Nucleus b using your Charisma as the General to convince Tektus to commit mass suicide. And in the end, you have a more morally clean Acadia as well as new settlements.

Best ending: Destroy everything on the Island. Can’t have an immoral outcome if everyone who judges you is dead lmao

The faction I sided with in each play through determined my choices in Far Harbor... As a Minutemen General, I convinced Dima to turn himself in as I believed he must face justice for his crimes, but peace between Far Harbor and Acadia remained as I helped Far Harbor take back their land. I also destroyed the Nucleus as I saw them as a threat to my Island Settlements. As a Railroad agent I helped Dima replace Tektus with a Synth and bring peace to all because as a member of the Railroad, I believe in Synths, and a Far Harbor Island under the control of a Synth is best for all Synths. In my BOS play through I helped Far Harbor destroy Acadia and then destroyed the Nucleus because as a BOS Sentinel I believe in the superiority of humans, that Synths are a Menace and must be destroyed, and that Radiation worshipping psychopaths have no place in this world. For my evil Institute play through I helped Far Harbor destroy Acadia, then turned off the Wind Turbine and allowed the Fog to swallow the Island because I believe the surface is lost, and the sooner it’s cleansed of surface dwellers, the better. The Children of Atom shall do that dirty work for the Institute, then once they are all that’s left, the Institute shall rise and rebuild anew.

My view of best choice: - Establish Peace between the factions and send the girl home safe and sound after making her realize she isn’t a synth. Background: I’m a minutemen general who brought as much peace as possible and killed the raiders of Nuka World

I did the ending where the Minutemen, Railroad and Brotherhood all coexist. I also did the Far Harbor ending with everyone coexisting and even let Tectus live. I have just recently rolled up 2 'evil bimbo' characters to do some of the evil endings I could not bring myself to do with a character I identified with. Both times I killed the railroad really made me sad. I may roll up a Railroad character and do a Hardcore run through just so they can destroy the brotherhood. Thanks Oxhorn.

Best Ending is all about conquering the entire island with nuka world raiders and mechanist robots.

I hope you re-do Nukaworld, In this style. Then add in the Minuteman mod again, just me though

I'm BoS who saved Danse, so I justified peace on the island and then not informing the Brotherhood about Acadia

Sending Kasumi home, saving Far Harbor, exterminating the Children of the Atom, and making DiMA face justice is my definition of a perfect ending.

If I was playing my usual Minuteman play through, I would try to convince Tectus to leave, instead of killing him

9:00 is my favorite part not only for the great story telling but the fact he’s just tackling people over and over. Couldn’t stop laughing 🤣

So does this mean we’ll be getting an “All the Loot!” video too?

Great series! I played Far Harbor and pretty much exhausted everything to do, so it was nice to watch it all again with any lore i might have missed with this playlist

As the general of the Minutemen, I decided to being Dima to justice and convinced him to go to Far Harbor. Let Acadia live, and then destroyed the Children of Atom. Edit: I play a MM General who sometimes has to take drastic measures to ensure the protection of the infrastructure I’ve built up to help the citizens of the region. Well, I’m off to double cross the Nuka-World raiders, and I do feel my actions against the COA was justified.

Instead of thinking about factions, I think more about my character and what they would do. For example, If I was the general of the minute men, it is fairly obvious to my characters mind that synths are also people from playing the regular game. Dima did what he thought needed to be done so I respected him for his decision. So replacement of atoms leader was a fairly obvious choice. In my current build my character is an addict that doesn't care about anything but caps and getting his fix. Deep down he is a good guy but defines himself as an addict over anything else. So I'm thinking that as of right now he is more towards Far Harbor or the nucleus. I think the nucleus due to hallucinogenic water, but I like far harbor due to more sellers of drugs. Edit: word

I just want to say i really enjoy the intro.

I would disagree that the minutemen would hesitate to destroy the children of atom. The children on the main land commonwealth are extremely hostile and shoot all other factions on sight. They would most likely already be enemies.

If this subject came down to a committee vote within each faction, I think they’d fall within the same lines Oshorn laid out. Institute would capture the Synths and leave. The BOS would destroy Acadia and lean towards destroying the Nucleus. The Minutemen would likely push for DiMA to face justice, though where they go from there is fuzzy. The Railroad would be more on board with replacing Tektus, though I can imagine it would cause some grumbling. That’s all well and good, but which outcome results in a net-benefit for the Island? I still push for the destruction of the Nucleus, but I’m curious to see if Ox’s opinion has changed in the past few years.

I've done every ending but with my new institute character I'm doing scientific choices but I don't consider her to be entirely evil let's just say I am a scientist/soilder with morals.

I’ve been playing Doom Eternal for the past few weeks and it’s a great game but watching this video reminds me why Fallout will always be my number 1 video game franchise.

Ah yes, the ending for "Fishy" Point Lookout DLC.

The thing about replacing Tectus and synth-Avery is both hinge on their faction not finding out about it. The sole survivor who counts on those plans propably wouldn't openly mention those things to even people on the mainland. Thus whatever faction (Minutemen mostly) they represent propably never find out.

In my very 1st play through of far harbor, I was able to get all factions on the island to side with peace

Well for the Institute, I can see a Director using this a one of his secret pet projects, a more or less controlled environment to study how synths develop on there own, this could help to find the malfunction they have and If its go bad, its far enough away to pose a treath and you still can send a team to clean up.

Hey, Ox! Great video. Will there be a "most moral ending" episode? Those are some of my most fav videos of yours!

I sided with the child of atom cause my character is a psycho raider who secretly worship the power of atom GLORY TO ATOM

I'd honestly say Oxhorn has the minutemen and the railroad switched, cause the minutemen is a much more grounded group. Their goals are based around saving as many good people trying to survive the apocalypse as possible, which can lead to a pragmatic view on the issue, trading one life for many. Meanwhile the railroad is much more extreme in its views, where the see prosecution of synths everywhere, saying the people of the commonwealth will always hate synths when nick in diamond city proves otherwise. So I think the railroad would take Dima's crime of wiping the synth Avery for his own benefit much more seriously, since regardless of that synth's individuality, Dima essentially treated them as a tool just like the institute does. So the railroad would seek justice not for the real Avery but for the synth he used.

7:49 the children of atom also has a nuclear sub. The brotherhood would want that

As a railroad character I also thought that Tektus’s death was the only way that justice could be served and our friends at Acadia could be protected. Great vid Ox

Whoop fresh upload by Ox to enjoy in bed! Thank you for being you bro, amazing content

I swear he uploaded this whole series like a year ago. It says it is recent but I already remember watching all of these videos a while back

I was role playing a evil/insane Institute character so I decided to kill everybody because that’s what I did in Nuka world

I personally went with the option of justice for Dima, Nuclear Ascension for the Children, and otherwise leaving the people of Far Harbor be (albeit with trade routes opened up back to the Commonwealth. The Children were, at the most fundamentally pragmatic level, the easiest answer; their belief would likely see them to Division eventually, anyway, so it felt reasonable to simply help them on their way, however misguided it may be. It also removes their presence from the island, which allows the people of Far Harbor to breathe a little easier. Having Dima answer for his actions was the only right choice in my mind by virtue of the fact that if he wants a peace to develop between Acadia and Far Harbor, the best road to it is to cease unethical and immoral actions, and allow someone else to step up to lead Acadia in his place. Far Harbor, meanwhile, doesn't have much in the way of choices to make about it beyond working to preserve it. So I helped out the citizens to try and reclaim a bit of the island, for however long that hold lasts.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how many GFLOPs each frame requires?

My minute man general nuked the church of atom, and sacrificed Dima for peace and justice. Archadia lives on

I actually just completed this DLC with my Minuteman character a few weeks ago and I did go with the peaceful option. Sure a synthetic had to give his life for the island, and I acknowledge that that's wrong, however the alternative what have been to blow up the children of atom and I just couldn't justify that. It just seems like there was no good way to settle that.

Dima unlike the Institute controls each factions to maintain peace but chances are the method could grow and ends up replacing everyone or most of the islander into synth and claim the island for themselves. It's best if he was brought to justice.

Being that i have not completed the game yet, yes you read well, i have not completed the game due experimenting with mods to see how far i can push the game before signs of instability, exspecially when your in the 300 region, & then there is always that thing called time & family commitments. Anyway pending on were the player is in the game i would of thought the main target would be to continue on the quest of finding his son & to do what ever is required to bring the player that one step closer, but as i say it obviously depends on when you go to far harbour. I have watched all of you FO uploads & i must say bloody Fantastic Ox, i exspecially love the lore content very much, exspecially when narrated with a story line touch bring the viewer ever closer to the emotions of the fortunate & the unfortunate, i will always remember the boy trapped in the fridge for 200 years & wonder if this could ever happen, because you never know what's around the corner. Anyway keep up the great work & big thumbs👍from me.

Thanks for the upload in the morning. Cool endings

The first time i played through on my first character, I did a Brotherhood ending in main game, but did Far Harbor after main quest. I know the Brotherhood would want Acadia destroyed, but since the technology to make Synths was lost when i destroyed the Institute, I decided to leave it be. I ended up destroying the children of atom because i passed the speech check to convince them to embrace division. i don't regret that choice mostly because it was a high ideal for the children to want division, and if the brotherhood believes the synths at large to be a neutralized threat then there's no reason to tell them about Acadia, since DiMA doesn't seem to know how to make more Synths and never showed interest in making more anyways. They're just People now, trying to make their way in this world

DUDE I just re founded oxhorn, I used to watch ur fallout videos a loooooooong time ago, I got the ox horn mod. I am so happy and re subscribing so happy you are still making fallout videos! Looking forward to more videos later! Bye!

Great way to start a day! Thanks Ox!

Great way to start the day! Thanks Oxhorn!

Now the only thing missing would be the dialog you get with the character that takes you to Acadia (I forgot his name). Ox said he had unique dialog, just like Nick, if he met DIMA and I assume that since he's from Far Harbor, he must have some opinions about the fate of the factions. Anyways, loved the video.

Dear Oxhorn, your videos are truly good and interesting I would like to say keep up the good work!

An interesting angle for the Brotherhood would be to use Far Harbour to wipe out Arcadia - The Brotherhood gets what it wants without having to use any of its own soldiers or resources, & the Children of Atom pose no direct threat to them anyway. (Similar to how a member of the Brotherhood praises the Sole Survivor for using the Minutemen to destroy the Institute, rather than needing to bring Liberty Prime in)

The best ending is bringing DiMA to justice, making sure Alan Lee doesn't convince Far Harbor to destroy Acadia, and then destroy the Nucleus. A peaceful outcome is not always the best outcome. That's the same reason I don't think the "Minutemen+Railroad+Brotherhood" ending in Fallout 4 is the best ending, as it seems just delaying the inevitable (plus, one could argue its not a true ending since the Brotherhood gives you quest as if you destroyed the Railroad, and the Railroad gives quest as if you destroyed the Brotherhood)

You're the best Ox, keep the great content up as you always do 🙏🏼👍🏻

Did Ox take on a Hermit crab? I remember there was one at the drive in, but I do not recall him going there.

My typical minuteman playthrough is bringing DiMa to justice, then talking Lee down from invading Acadia. Despite the wrong DiMa did, Acadia is innocent as a whole, unaware of what he did, on top of the fact they need Acadia to power the fog condensers and keep their inland settlements safe. In this case, DiMa answered for his crimes, and Far Harbor keeps their condensers working so they can live. I never did the "replace Tektus" move... may try that next.

The brotherhood would take control of the Nucleus

I can always like the video before i even watch it and know that it is not a lie! Thanks for the great videos!

The justice for life option is the best one. That's the one where justice does not mean killing.

That intro is better than the entire far harbour trailer!

Currently doing a railroad play through. The peace between all three factions is the best outcome in my opinion although I wonder if notifying the railroad about Acadia even matters to the railroad.

just finished the last one, nice timing

Thank you for making this! What you said in the roleplaying aspect has given me lots to think about. On both my Minutemen and Railroad characters, I'll most likely go with the very last option and send Kasumi home letting her know she's a human. The thing that really made me think before watching this was the justice that would be served. Yes, DiMA should receive justice, but Nick, on both of my characters, is a good friend and killing his brother would wreck him. But on the other hand, I'd have to either kill or banish Tecktus, replacing him with a Synth. As you said, the Minutemen fear that people will be kidnapped and replaced, but to achieve peace, the replacement of Tecktus is necessary. It's something my General will just have to live with the blood on her hands, and my Railroad character will be fine with it, I suppose. :)

Am I the only one laughing my butt off at the rehydrated water?

I agree with your analysis of what the factions would do and how they would end this. There are a few additional things I consider for a roleplay perspective. 1. Did I come with Nick? If I did and am playing a minuteman or railroad character how could I betray my friend and companion by giving up his brother to Allan Lee. The other thing I consider affects my minuteman character 2. How truly hostile the Children of Atom are. It's fairly clear to me that the true believers of Atoms faith will attack settlers from my time in the commonwealth. This can happen in random encounters at a few locations (looking at your Kings port lighthouse and just south west of Corvega) the Children of Atom in large numbers are hostile to non believers. The only group this isnt true for are in Fallout 3 and the Crater in the glowing sea. I would pose that a general of the minuteman could understand this danger and act in such a way as to convince Dima of their threat and then to protect Far Harbor with the children's sad but ultimately necessary destruction. But like you say Oz "that is just one man's humble opinion." I am interested in differing views.

I chose the Acadia ending for one reason. Dima knows what he did was wrong, killing a human, replacing them with a synth and hiding it from everybody....even himself. While the institute did the same thing countless times and reasoned that its for the good of the commonwealth. I did feel wrong that I was sparring a murderer but at the same time, far harbor needed someone to calm them down. (The only person I wanted to kill was Alan lee for all his antagonistic behavior) I understand tectus’s hatred at far harbor for killing one of their own but to kill everyone in the pier in monstrous. Also another reason for Acadia ending is that the Mother Of The Fog said”Bring Peace” If I had to rank the leaders of each faction on an alignment chart it would be.... Dima-neutral good Tectus-chaotic evil Avery-lawful good

I really would like to find out the cannon story after Fallout NV on the west coast with the BoS. Did they get wiped out, assimilate into the NCR, turn nomadic or what, because from what I remember, the west coast BoS was on the brink of destruction, & how they would interact with the BoS out east with Maxon.

I ran with the peace ending for the Island.

Here I am waiting up till midnight for ox's upload and it's up early, whoo ox FTW

I find it funny how Ox's intros to dlcs are better than Bethesda's trailers

Honestly i usually base my choices on whats best for the commonwealth in the long run, the minutemen being and full force and the ones to destroy the institute wi fully rekindle hope in uniting the commonwealth. leaving the brother hood to there business while helping them secure the fort from super mutantes and getting them to leave dense alone , take back the recon survivor and re recruiting the institute doctor to there side while keeping them as uninvolved with the commonwealth as a whole apart from taking out super mutants and ferals, makes them simply a safety net against mutant treats. The railroad is necessary for moving any remaining synts out of the commonwealth and ending the boogyman that is syths , this keeps the syths safe and allows the commonwealth to sloely lose its fear of syths. Institute unfortunately is a casualty but with the evacuation order plenty of scientists and syths escape which individually dont pose a treast and potentially can be a great help to the commonwealth with the knowledge they have learned over the years (despite what a whiny baby like virgil would have you believe) . I haven't fully finished far harbor, but i already decided to help dima as the lesser of 3 evils .

The railroad would NEVER bring Dima to justice, they are about saving synths above all else, no matter how high the price is.

I was roleplaying the Brotherhood but got the Peace ending as i used the Brotherhood to enact my Revenge on the Institute but always had a conscience to do the right thing.

I've ran all 3 Factions(i never play the Institute under ANY circumstances) and my personal favorite was the BOS one. Yeah, their fairly heavy-handed with it, but at least it keeps Far Harbor safe...

I love your content, as a gamer I look up to you so keep up the good work sir!!

so excited for the metro videos!!!

love this place and its complexity.

2 weeks until Wastelanders, which means more Oxhorn videos

Hey OX so i did an experiment...after I replaced tethis I killed him and he didn't have a sythn component🤯

I enjoy roleplaying a child of atom. I chose to side with Tectus, and if I could I would've taken over the commonwealth for the children of atom. I always thought of them as a more unique version of raider. Basically having the 'family' mindset, while having their zealous beliefs to unite and focus their followers. Tectus had the right idea, in that seeking division would be an afront to atom while having the nuclear sub base, so it would unite and bring the children of atom to an almost religious government state, and would've allowed them to expand and grow the children of atom to unheard of potential. Especially in a post-apocalyptic society, most often people would fall prey to religious societies as humanity did before huge technological booms. I felt it became more realistic to side with Atom on a more 'self care' character.

My first playthrough, I sided with Dima. I was roleplaying as an institute and minuteman character. I believed that was the best combination to help the Commonwealth. I chose to allow Acadia to keep existing, with it being understood that I coupd pull the plug at any moment if Dima steps out of line. I viewed it as an experiment, a chance to see what synths would do if they lived free. I also saw it as a good opportunity to contain rogue synths at a place we can easily find them should we choose to recover them. Plus we can always use the knowledge of where they're going to ambush rogue synths if we wish. I let Far Harbor and the children of atom live, following Dima's plan. I debated killing Allen Lee as I could foresee him being a troublemaker in the future, but decided against it.

Just started playing FO76 again - did you know that Flatwoods has an Oxhorn easter egg? Upstairs from the responders terminals, there's a teddy bear with a familiar seeming bowler & cigar, along with a tumbler (scotch glass) on the table in front of it......

As a railroad character I chose every option to make dima feel guilty without sharing his secret. And the I proceeded to blow up the nucleus.

Minutemen/Peace route - Like I said in comments for videos before, I think the peace route matches the Minutemen, but it's a complicated choice for sure. However, to ensure there is still peace, I turned all Island settlements into Minutemen base camps. Given how hellish the Island is, someone HAS to police that Island, and with the Minutemen that destroyed the Institute, they have already shown themselves capable. Just make sure to find a lot of gas masks whenever they are on patrol (we don't need more Trappers).

It seems strange that siding with Dima is the only way to replace anybody with a synth instead of the institute giving that option. You lose some rewards but I think it would make sense for an institute character to replace tektus have more influence.

Gonna say Oxhorn has the best moral ending videos

My minuteman general ended the CoA. Aided far harbour and built all the settlements. Then finally, made dima answer for his crimes.

Bringing together peace for Far Harbor is necessary to keep the people safe. You know what else is necessary? Saving this settlement that needs your help, I'll mark it on your map.

I remember the first time I played through Far Harbor I went into the room where Decembers child was located, didn’t see it, and left the location. Later I found out on You Tube that the weapon was laying on a table or something in that room. So I went back and the doors were closed and wouldn’t open. To make matters even worse I could see the weapon through the window but there was absolutely nothing I could do to get back inside that room. Yes, I could have just reloaded a save but I had already leveled up like 30 times so it would have basically made me start all over again

I chose minute men and railroad in my second playthrough in my first i chose all three BOS, minutemen and railroad but i got the perks for farharbor nucleus and arcadia the lucky eddy gun eh i mean i have another veriant of that gun but still im not a heartless person given i chose raiders first before gravey in my second playthrough to get the quantum power armor and perks but still

Yo Oxhorn, I like glitched my game. I finished the main quest line and destroyed the institute by siding with the Minuteman. First I was with the brotherhood then attacked them half way through the line. And Had to join the minuteman. I've heard what ever fraction you choose Glory would die. If true I think I glitched the game and finished Siding with Garvey. And glory is alive but with less then half health. Even Desdamona says she's dead even tho she's alive behind her

The Institute could either recall Acadia or do the Scientific thing and observe the self-preservation of their creation.

I'd think that the BoS would object to destroying the Nucleus. It represents some pretty hefty pre-war resources and tech. Rather, I think they'd prefer to purge the Nucleus and seize it for themselves. It's kind of sad that it isn't an option to bring them in for that purpose. My typical play-through is a minuteman unity run, with as close to an alliance as I can get with the RR and BoS. As such, I pretty much had to pick the peace option.

My Minuteman Character would remove the children of Atom from power while securing The Island for the Minutemen. This would result to the Expansion of the Minutemen and the Establishment of the Island Minutemen. The Minutemen could then use the working boats and ferries in the future to expand north throughout Canada. The Minutemen could then expand even further beyond the borders of the Commonwealth, towards the Capital Wasteland and Appalachia.

My KZfaq notifications have failed me twice in 2 days with your channel, I'm set to all notifications. How could I have waited 17 hours to see the video I've been waiting for?

Sniper - Detroy A with FH and then blow up the N, getting a good Crit Sniper and the toughness perk Glass cannon - (Holding your HP at 25% with rads for low heath bonuses) Destroy FH to get the best low life/high rads perk and a good hat for leveling. High stats - If the particular addition of +1 to 3 stats instead of two (En, In, Ag) makes a difference to your build, save everyone (a Junkie Build might go that route as you compensate for addiction penalties to your stats - though most Junkies go melee and thus would rather have a St boosting piece). Almost everyone else - Blow up N for the toughness (the only general use) perk.

I played fallout 4 for years without dlcs because the game was so intricately playable and content heavy, evidently just an overall open end explosion of self expressive visual play, and quite the piece of art. It can be overwhelming but the liberty is the reason we are an audience or simply fans, along side the context in plot. Apologies as this comes obviously because it’s been a round for ages, but despite all that the opportunity in the game itself was enough. In actuality, I had never bought any extensions and hadn’t initially noticed having such. An experience. When I finally bought all the dlcs I stopped playing, this just inspires me to comeback and accomplish it all.

Oxhorn I play as a member of the institute but I do care for people above ground cause the sole survivor came form above ground. plus I care about the NPC’s as well. I don’t kill unless I have to kill like riders,gunners and so on so it just how you want to play your game. It also depends on how you want to view and play as with the team you side with.P.S keep up the good amazing work I love your videos.

Im doing my current playthrough as a Brotherhood rogue named Clio. My plan with her was avoid the main story for as long as possible, do the DLC stuff, first far harbor now Nuka world, and the main goal is to basically kill everyone. I blew the nuclear up as soon as I could without hesitation, and went for peace between far harbor and Acadia. Now I'm planning to go to Nuka world, become overboss and gradually kill off everyone

I don't comment much, but I am compelled to answer. I play Fallout very economically, trying to provide the future for the wastelands that would be best in the long run, but foremost maximizing the unique items I get from the singular playthrough. To the end of Fallout 4, I enjoyed your power armor museum and chose what might best fill out the entire collection of those, weapons, clothing, and armor. It just so happens that ending involve allying with my only son and getting a sweet looking X-01 paint. As for the island, the good and goods are maximized in siding with DiMA for peace on the island, but I mentioned the power armor before to say I had to summon the Brotherhood to Mt. Desert Island before destroying them so I might relieve the Knight-Captain of his fusion core and unique power armor.

I played Fudgemuppet's Crusader build, who was both Brotherhood of Steel and Children of Atom. He was indoctrinated into the Children during a mission to the Island and so destroyed Far Harbor, justifying it as Atom's will, but also as a practical means to an end; at least one person on the docks had been replaced to serve Diima's will, who's to say several more hadn't been over the years? Purging the town was the only way to be sure that the taint of the Institute was truly wiped clean... And upon returning to the mainland, he reported Acadia to Captain Kells, and lead the Brotherhood on a raid to wipe out the Synths, while keeping the location of the Nucleus to himself. Atom's Kingdom now truly belongs to His Children... Ad victorium! *G L O R Y T O A T O M ! ! !*

I got a question how can you get the minutemen attack the institute?

My Brotherhood has Danse in charge, along with my character as his second (a mod that uses voice lines and scripting in the game files), and thus he'd leave Acadia alone, and I went for the "peace" ending. Unfortunately I didn't know the circumstances and didn't do enough to get DiMA to admit his crimes and suffer that justice without destroying Acadia so I went with replacing the leader of the Children which I don't approve of at all.
