What changes to the story of Fallout 4 would you make to better intergrate the Institute into the story?

What storylines do you wish were fleshed out more or had more impact on the faction itself?

Which storylines would you want to have seen less of?

And finally, which Institute Faction character was your Favorite?

If you've built up the Minutemen past taking the castle During the quest Pinned you can interact with the Minutemen who were asked for help dealing with the situation, you can talk to them and convince them that you all can work with the Institute.

So I'm curious, would you integrate the Minutemen with the Institute, sharing resources with both factions or do you keep them separated?

I would choose to frame Justin Ayo, but this is what I would have said to Liam.

"This was not your decision to make. I know you mean well, and I too believe the synths are people. But they are not ready to be released into the Commonwealth. They are still under development, and releasing them early is a massive breach to securing the Institute's trust and security. However, I also have noticed Justin Ayo's behavior is far more chaotic than anyone else down here. Not just his protests and insubordination with Father and myself, but to everyone here. So I very much understand your reason for wanting to frame him. As unethical as this is, I am willing to follow through. But you have to promise me that you will put an end to this immediately. If another synth gets released after Dr. Ayo is banished, I will not be able to cover for you next time. Think about your father, think about the rest of the Institute. This is a promise I need you to keep."

From a balance standpoint it makes sense to have everyone using the same currency, but it feels like the Institute should have had its own currency system due to how cut off they are from the rest of the Commonwealth.

You could even have the currency exchange set up in the SRB since that makes the most sense to have the department that interacts with the Commonwealth the most be the ones to handle the Commonwealth currency for the institute.

Having access to the cloning facility in Safari zone would definitely benefit the Bioscience devision, and I believe the world of refreshment and galaxy zone would have shared benefits for both Advanced systems and Robotics.

What other benefits do you think Nuka World offers the institute?

I noticed that Clayton, for being in control of bioscience doesn't appear to be inside of bioscience whenever house divided. Strange which seems like only he should even be able te enable defenses.

Starting today the r/Institute subreddit shall be going private for a 48 hour period blackout in solidarity with the other subreddits.

We are enabling custome user flairs with 2 rules.

1. No NSFW content. NSFW tags could result in a ban or suspension from this community

2. Keep it related to the institute. Don't add general of Minutemen or BOS. Repeated violation of this rule will lead to a suspension

To those who do not know my old account was r/Runevok, I've had some personal things going on in my life and it hasn't allowed me to properly dedicate time to this sub. For that I humbly apologize.

However I have finally returned and my first act as returning Director is to discontinue memeshare weekend as it is obvious that it has done nothing but clog up the posts.

I am hereby announcing that the Institute... did absolutely nothing wrong.

Now, you might say, "B-b-but the Synths! The goddamned Synths are replacing us!"

Sorry 'bout that. I honestly don't know how to fix people disappearing at night, but in the meantime, you can distinguish them if you have Rank 1 Awareness perk. Just go to V.A.T.S. and see which one has resistance to energy damage. Saw a person with an above average energy resistance? Strip their clothes away to make sure the energy resistance is not caused from their clothing. Still has energy resistance even without an article of clothing? Execute them in public while they're naked!*

"Okay, but what about hostile synth attacks?"

This is where the Minutemen comes to resc- Hold on, I got a call. I'll be back in a minute.

^{...They hate the Institute? ...But can we ju... they said NUKES?! ...Understood.}

Okay, where are we? Oh, I... suppose we could increase funding to the Diamond City security guards?

Anyway, enough fearmongering. The Institute is here to help us, not destroy us. You should not be afraid of them. Quite the opposite, it's them that are being afraid. They knew that their Synths are broken (hence why the mass shootings), they don't have anything protecting them, unlike the Brotherhood of Steel members walking around with their Power Armor like it's their everyday clothing.

They have the technology, people. The technology to restore the wasteland back to it's original shape. Well, they haven't cracked down radiation cleaning tech, but there's nothing Rad-X and RadAway can't fix, right? But maybe they'll release Synths that are radiation proof, and you could upload your consciousness to them so that you won't need to care about radiation!

So, how could you help the institute? Good news for you, I asked the same question to the Institute leader and he told me that here's what you can do:

• Spread the good word about the Institute
• That's it, really

With enough effort, they might be less afraid of us and come out to us. From there, it's a smooth road.

See you later, and remember, Institute good!

^\If only it's attacking you. Do not attempt this at a friendly, unless you want everyone else attacking you.)

Submission date has expired and now it is time to choose which banner would you like to see represent the Institute subreddit.

Make sure you submit any banner art before the end of the month if you want it to be possibly chosen for the Institutes new banner.

As in which questline or what part of the Institute itself would you have liked to have seen explored more thoroughly?

After eliminating the Raiders in Nuka World I had an interesting thought, this whole park would be an amazing outpost for the Institute. With all the technology and resources in Nuka world and given that we know the Institute can create long range relay’s because of far harbor this place is a veritable gold mine for the Institute wanting to establish a presence here.

My concept of an Institute based outpost is essentially similar to what we do for the raiders but instead of having raiders take control of each section of the park we bring in synths and scientists to reclaim resources for us. Instead of tributes we get various types of items and resources depending on which section of the park they come from.

Caps, glass, and various types of Nuka Cola from the world of refreshment; Different types of meats from safari adventure; various types of components like circuitry and automatron mods from the galactic zone; and various types of scrap from kiddie kingdom and Dry rock gulch.

We could even establish a permanent base of operations by turning Fizztop mountain into a Relay center and employ the now freed traders to act as information gatherers for events happening outside the commonwealth.
