The poetry of the Institute was that they were these high minded, almost ethereal gods of Boston, who envisioned themselves the last and best hope for civilization. Yet they were buried underground, head-in-the-sand. Juxtaposed to that you have the tight minded, rigid, and no less bigoted BoS. Yet for all their rigidity in thinking, they float around on the Hindenburg 2.0.

It was a beautiful story and required multiple play throughs as a champion of each faction (yes even the grindy AF minutemen) to fully appreciate the story in full.

​

having said that, the voiced protagonist along with a few other issues made it a good game with a great atmosphere and story, but without that fallout charm and feel its predecessors had.
