I was gonna say what about deacon and danse but then...

if you gain a high enough affinity with piper. she will write a paper called fear of the future. where she's more optimistic, and knows you're in charge, and trusted you with the Institute. you can find it behind nat.

As shady as the Institute is, we could gain a huge advantage with them on our side. Settlements could use their technological advances to help defend themselves and grow more food. Please mark our settlements on their maps so they can deliver their tech to us and help protect us.

It makes me mad that "I couldn't betray my son, who is the reason I went through all this bullshit for." isn't an answer. In my mind, that's the only rational answer.

"At least it's not raining" words to live by

Preston keeping it real there. What a down-to-earth guy he is.

So messed up how they put so much more effort into Piper and Nick over all the other companions.

All companions lack the knowledge of what the institute was actually doing. The institute was coming up with ways to restore the old world by placing back old and extinct animals that died in the blast. They were coming up with ways to reach out to other continents. But right now you need to reach out for something else... A settlment is calling for your help, here, ill mark it on your map.

Rather annoyed you couldn't say you did It for Shaun as that is the reason I sided with the institute

Institute won but at least it's not raining

"Thank you, mother. You've helped a boy achieve his dreams."

Piper: People getting snatched up at night. Neightbors turning on each other.

Holy shit Piper's speech was heartbreaking. The voice actor did well.

"At least it's not raining." - Preston Garvey

"Institute rules all now. Good. Only one enemy for super mutants to destroy."

I love how nick and piper just forget you ever sided with the institute after they talk about what you did.

Atleast it's not raining.

Kinda sucks how the ending that leads to you finding and helping your son (basically the point of the game) is the one that involves stabbing your companions in the back.

I think Nicks just salty that you threw him off a cliff
