None of the factions are what they seem. The Railroad is powerful because they are commandos. Forget their seeming appearance as do-gooders. The BoS are just zealots, and not very bright. The Institute are evil fools. The Minutemen are preferred because they are the only faction that could become the kernel of a real government. But taking out the BoS and the Institute in quick succession via the Railroad is very cool

One point to add. Being the general of the Minuteman and being on the field is one way to demonstrate "leadership by example".

Also a couple more things to add - there is no two-way communication in the Minutemen. Not like the general can just sit in the castle and give out orders across the Commonwealth. Another thing to note, probably the most important one, is that F4 is not a strategy game. Sure, the devs may have messed up some things with the settlement system and especially with how annoying the "help settlement x with y" quests are, but aside from that it does kind of make sense that the general would have to be more involved in the field, with the lack of any real long distance communication.

I feel so bad for Preston. As annoying as he is, he is easily one of the most noble characters in the game and is clearly a very good person. He cares so much about everybody and about the common people. He just wants everyone to live well, be fed, be happy, be healthy and be at peace.

The fool doesn’t even realize that she’s insulting the general of the Minutemen(Who pretty much helps them save synths!) so instead of asking for a faction team up, she tells you to reject the Minutemen(which doesn’t help the Commonwealth at all).

I mean, compare the amount of escaped gen 3 Synths living lives like a regular human would (Harkness, Magnolia, Captain Avery and Sturges to name a few) compared to the SINGLE escaped synth raider (Gabriel) Besides, gen 3 synths (bar maybe coursers) aren't exactly superhuman, the only "advantage" a Gen 3 synth has over a normal human is the fact that they dont age, apart from that they can be shot, burned, drowned, irradiated and otherwise mutilated all the same as a human can. its also pretty crazy to me that you see killing the fucking NUKA-WORLD RAIDERS as less morally justified than the Railroad. the Nuka-World Raiders Murder, torture rape and enslave people purely to benefit themselves, they have no motives beyond doing what will benefit them the most, they are well aware that their actions of reprehensible and they simply do not care. the railroad, however questionable their methods may be sometimes, are at the very least TRYING to benefit the wasteland, they are at least attempting to do SOMETHING to benefit others at their own risk, the same can't be said at all for any raiders, much less the Nuka-World Gangs.

It’s the reason why the Commonwealth Minutemen is my favorite faction in all of Fallout. It’s not an army that wants to take over territory or secure some particular resource. It’s just people trying to look out for one another. In a way, the Minutemen turns the Commonwealth into a connected functioning community. They trade, they build together, and most importantly, they come to each others’ defense when threatened. What makes it special, is that you, the player, can make that happen when you put in the effort and dedication. Like Oxhorn said, you can take the weakest faction and make them the strongest, built on actual decent ethics and with a sense of humanity.

I think it's unfortunate that you can't appointment officers for the minutemen. There are a few companions who would be amazing officers (examples.. Paladin Danse or McCready). I also would've loved to be able to introduce the minutemen to the railroad or another faction of your choice to ally with each other.

I realize this video is more than 5 years old, but I'm late in getting into Fallout 4 and am just now finding and enjoying your videos. I don't know if you'll even be aware of this comment after so many years, but I just wanted to say thank you for your series of videos on the different factions in the game. You have taken what is "just a survival game" and raised it to the level of deep philosophical and moral ponderings. When I encountered the Minutemen, they were the only faction who truly stirred my heart, and their ideas of what the world should be like was the only vision that made me want to stand up and say "YES"!! Every other faction works ONLY if you have a strong leader with good morals, but with the Minutemen the true function of a leader is to inspire the people to believe in their own abilities to be good and better than they have been. The minutemen actually fail if all there is is just another strong leader, because the true strength of a civilization lies in all of its citizens wanting that civilization to be the best it can be. Imagine if Preston had come up to you and said " I am the General, because only I have the vision to see what the Minutemen should be. And that is why you should follow me." It would have placed the minutemen on the same level as the leaders of all of the other factions. But instead he says "I believe in you. I believe that you can do this." This is the true strength of the Minutemen: that they believe in the ability of EVERY citizen to want the best for everyone. There is a maxim that every religion, all of science, and a lot of philosophies and political theories point to: "Life flourishes when there is mutual benefit and cooperation." And that is what the Minutemen stand for.

I love the Minutemen, because it's very satisfying watching them start as the weakest faction in the game, but when you start doing quests for them, they slowly build in strength until they're a force to be reckoned with. And if you complete the main quest with them, their flag flies in Diamond City, they patrol the roads, and that, combined with over 30 Minutemen controlled settlements, turns them into the MOST powerful faction in the game by rallying the entire Commonwealth behind them, all because of your hard work. While the other 3 factions were around and at the peak of their power before you join, and you don't really see the effects of your actions.

I myself sided with the minutemen, they did seem understaffed and that made me feel like they really needed me more. I didn’t think they really needed me as the General when Preston gave it to me, but it wasn’t until I imagined really being in the middle of a dispute between other Minutemen that I intervened and cut that off real quick that I realized he did see my potential. I mean we start the game off as a military veteran, the sole survivor does have training and leadership skill most probably don’t have And as much as I wanted to like the Brotherhood of steel, I really couldn’t, they were way to selfish and I saw them becoming the thing they swore to fight. They would gather so much technological power and would in turn become the bad guys. The wrong person would eventually get their hands on it. It reminded me of Captain America in Winter Soldier, Nick Fury was happy about the warships they made but Cap new better and sure enough it did fall into the wrong hands. The railroad is my second choice, but having to be so covert they can’t afford to help anyone else out. I would work alongside them to reintroduce synths into settlements and become part of a community. I haven’t even played through the institutes stuff so I think I I would just blow it up and end it at that. But yea Brotherhood of steel has to go down Another thing I noticed is that Sturges, Jun and Mary aren’t minutemen They seem to be settlers from Quincy that called for help against the gunners and Preston and some others were the only ones to show up. All Preston can do is leave with a small group of settlers or “civilians” as Danse would call them, and try to find a safe place to resettle And one place after the other was just hard on them. I think that’s when he realized he wasn’t leadership material. I mean the whole setup on how we meet them is actually pretty intense, these raiders are literally hunting these people down to murder them because one of the leaders wants prestons hat We come across another minutemen shot just outside the door, dude must have been trying to provide cover for them to run inside I mean how fast can mama Murphy move? And Prestons plea for our help really gets me, they are going to die! The last minute men and fighter on their side just died downstairs and it’s just him, then imagine seeing someone come up out of nowhere and start killing the raiders. He gets made fun of a lot for always telling us settlements needing our help But what other faction is that concerned about the people of the commonwealth? Every time we help a settlement they decide to join into being part of a big community, into believing there is still good and hope becomes alive in them and the desire to fight again. That’s what Preston sees, that’s what Preston saw, you caring about others before yourself. You being a literal beacon of hope. When he sees you running up, you became a literal spark of hope that just maybe, just maybe, against all odds, they can get out of that situation alive

Definitely, the best part is that they don't need to tax the shit out of people too. Fallout has a weird economy but overall, caps can be anywhere in those cities, making it easier to scavenge. They most likely took resources from the raiders they fought too, taking the caps and ammo for their group. Another thing you need to consider are the provisions provided by the governments in Fallout 4. In the long and short run, supplying a militant/charity group focused on helping and defending groups are extremely useful; the fact they don't aim to conquer the Commonwealth also makes them very appealing to other government bodies. Any governing body could see the benefits of the Minutemen. Difficult task, such as providing safe roads or vigilant protection of farms are tremendous in the economy of any city. Obviously, farms provide food and caravans provide trade. The Minutemen ensured the safety of these groups, making them a very worthwhile investment from other governments. Then, you also have the contribution of civilians or caravan groups. Caravans would definitely invest into the Minutemen to help keep them going and possibly even lower their prices in hopes of getting more protection. Civilians would also want to help in the Minutemen's development for security, possibly by helping the Minutemen with safer charity work, such as building houses or distributing food.

You should have Easter eggs in all these games for all the coverage you have done. I am infatuated with your storytelling. Much love and much thanks for all you do.

The main reason why the people hate the minutemen is because of the annoying side-quests and the inability to command and send squads to settlements with ease. If Bethesda implemented a patrol system for the minutemen where you can either personally deal with the situation or send a group of minutemen to diffuse the situation, add to that a few more missions like retaking Quincy and helping to mediate the creation of the Commonwealth coalition / the Commonwealth republic, then they would be the best faction in the game.

On top of that, a patrol system and response groups from minutemen would help but maybe a late game thing, where its not really an option early game cause its only a handful of people, but when you get to the castle, it becomes an option.

They need some flaws, some moral dilemmas that are fractioning their unity, some tough and questionable decisions they have to make, some struggles to balance honor&pragmatism that would make them interesting. If they're gonna be committed to doing the right thing every time, they should be failing miserably as the downside of it(like Followers of the Apocalypse, for example) and therefore contribute to the brutal-darwinist atmosphere of the Wasteland that way.

+Robert I'd be more interested in playing them during their fractioned era, is what I'm saying. It doesn't make sense that the same Wasteland that allows such a noble organization to blossom, also falls prey to other brutal factions. My suspension of disbelief fails when I see no one abuse the favors and the benefits that come from joining them. The philosophy of the original Minutemen was rooted in a very pessimistic view of human nature and came to the conclusion that the only way corruption could be avoided in law enforcement would be to have the public having a direct interest in its success by bearing arms themselves and due to having their own asses on the line in case of failure, giving their best efforts in order to to protect their own rational self-interest. That's why they were against a standing army; no human being could be noble enough not to abuse the power of an office that has the monopoly on justified use of force. This had to be adressed in the game, by having the settlements living some ingroup struggles or bickering sessions with each other. This way, it feels like The Smurfs Village reigning supreme over a super mutant infested killing floor. Their operation shouldn't run this smoothly; how does an organization that has been founded on the principle of accounting for the selfish nature of human beings, finding this many alturistic individuals? I guess if the player is virtuous, then The Minutemen remain virtuous which results in having the reward of the command of a powerful faction. Then, if that reward was already there, what were the selfish individuals who previously failed The Minutemen waiting for to walk the path we did to build them up, to gain that same reward for selfish reasons? Having to depend on one man's commitment to doing the right thing is the opposite of Minutemen philosophy, which is automatically assuming all men who wield power are corrupt and therefore the effect of all offices&titles they hold should be minimized as much as possible.

*protecting people at a minutes notice* Where did you get my fast travel?

i think you should be able to order members of the minutemen, like a general would do. Or create a small squad of minutemen members to go defend or clear out a dungeon or enemies.

I like to imagine that in the time the Fallout TV show takes place, the minutemen have made a big name for themselves again like how they once did before the fall of Quincy, being a formidable faction against any raider, with a lot of power, and having as much as the Brotherhood of Steel, and thanks to The Sole survivor, would spread their ranks to other U.S states than The Commonwealth

Realisticly, they'll probably say, ''nope.'' And go elsewhere unless they're desperate. Then those fools will go attack your settlements. Only to be killed.

As much as I love the Minutemen, I still feel like they should have had to team up with the Railroad to actually take down the institute. Neither faction seems to either have the technology (Minutemen) or the manpower (Railroad) to do it on their own. Another interesting option could be for them to work with the Brotherhood. From there, do they end up as a puppet or do they end up fighting a more traditional war?

The Minutemen is an awesome faction. I like their style and Preston Garvey is a cool character. I know he’s buggy but still he has a great attitude. Plus I love how the final mission requires you to fully customize the castle. That is an awesome idea because your turrets can take down the institute forces very quickly. In my opinion settlement building was the best part of Fallout 4. However I really do wish that Bethesda added a mission where you can retake Quincy and I wish you were able to recruit the USS Constitution robots. Maybe they could’ve parked the ship right next to the castle and they could’ve use their cannons to help you in the final battle. That would’ve been awesome!! 😎👍🏼

I know this is late, but I would like to voice a similar but different complaint with the Minute Men. When I was a Corporal in the Marine Corps, I had men under my command, an E-4. And I had brave Marines willing to follow me or act in my absence. This is what I think is missing from the Minute Men. I don't want to act like a raider boss, I WANT to be able to grab some Minute Men to go WITH me, and go to defend a settlement OR if I am stuck doing some other quest, send others to act in my stead. I don't want to be free of Crimes or have caps delivered to me. I want to be able to be a military leader. What should of happened after a point is when you have a Minute Man quest, it should be a two way conversation. Preston "Hey, X n X needs pur help, its (enemy here or quest there)." You 1 "Round up some men, we're going in." (Lead a team into the fire fight) 2 "Hows the defenses there, think they will hold?" (Have them deal with it with their own strength) 3. "I won't make it in time. Who's near by?" (I'm in Far Harbor, or doing the main Quest, stop bothering me with a radiant quest) 4. "Whats the situation?" (More detail) Again..I don't want to be a raider boss, but I DO want to be able to take this weak little faction that I have turned into a juggernaut of justice..and let it flex its muscle outSIDE of the flippen GENERAL going in alone with a Reporter to take care of some bull crap. Its true, the best leaders LEAD from the front, but Patton didn't have privates telling him to go clear a German Bunker, because the Private General Patton trained..can't be assed to help or do what HE signed up to do as well.

Yeah that's where the game mechanics let the faction down, if you are not personally there the game rolls dice, effectively, to decide the outcome, and even with excellent defence the number used in the dice roll caps out in such a way that there is always a chance of failure no matter what. But if you are able to go defend the settlement, you can call a minuteman patrol with the flaregun to join you...

When I'm playing fallout 4 I listen to this video like a podcast

there's a reason why some of my favorite factions include the minutemen, NCR, Responders, Followers of the Apocalypse, etc. it's because they feel real like yeah, the brotherhood with there power armor, or the institute with they're robots are always cool, but if there were ever to be a REAL Apocalypse like we see in-game, factions like the minutemen feel the most likely to pop up in real life. now this doesn't mean I like my fallouts to be super realistic, I just tend to appreciate the factions that feel more real, that's just my feelings tho.

And that's why I love the Minuteman. And when Preston comes to say a settlement needs some help, I smile and said "Where?"

If only you could combine the minutemen and the railroad saving both civilians with the minutemen and synths with the railroad. Also the added manpower would make both of their goals far easier to reach as well as the technological difference that the railroad has over the minutemen would also increase their chances they would definitely be able to take over the Commonwealth as the main faction and make it a better place

something that never gets old

My canon for after the game is that the minute men defeat the brotherhood with sheer numbers accepting any willing survivors into their ranks, and sort of incorporate the the railroad creating a large, technologically advanced, and powerful organization with the strengths of all three factions. In addition with the atomitron DLC it is likely that they have a massive robotic labor and military force giving them boat loads of resources, and with the glowing sea acting as a natural barrier plenty of room to grow.

I will say this about the guy who asked why he's being sent to save places. A general isn't a foot soldier. In the beginning when it's just you and Garvey it makes sense why you're doing it on your own, there's no one else. But once you've assembled the minute men a general shouldn't be a foot soldier. They should be an organizer and a planner. You should be able to delegate some of the actual hoofing

I like “We are the Minutemen” mod. It’s fitting especially late game when and if you rebuild the minuteman. It would make sense that the fame of the sole survivor would rally more minutemen to the ranks and help it to become a more powerful faction later on.

I think we, as the minuteman, should have quests involving going on campaigns to wipe out raiders, or to go to war on the gunners. My minuteman general character has single handedly had to wipe out every gunner outpost I find, activate all the relay towers for the good of the people, all alone. I cant ask my men to help me with these quests no matter the good it does the minutemen.

Besides the hefty material cost or labor of getting them and getting each settlements defense, food, and water over 30 with the optional power source being a total pain (sometimes) its quite rewarding and the settlement building system is fun and not only are you allowing the NPCs to have freedom but you are given freedom for the vision you have for each settlement.

The "I'm sorry, General, but the settlement you need to save is in another castle" radiant quest issue aside, and also ignoring how old this video is; (I just reinstalled FO4 again which is why I'm watching a lot of these, going to the mod videos next to see what I should pick) I've always really admired Preston for admitting that he wasn't the leader type. When I was in high school, I took JROTC for all four years, and became the wing commander in my final year; which a few years later in hindsight had I ever realized that I should not have been given that position. I was great with the other cadets, I led our school to great placings in drill competitions, never dropping below 3rd in any of the ones we competed in during my last two years, and I did a good job at hyping people up, but I wasn't an overall leader person. There was so much more to being the complete top boss, that I, again in hindsight, failed miserably at. I was hyper specialized in drill and keeping people interested and morale up, but that was it. There were other things like planning field trips, which we the cadets did, not our SASI or ASI, and writing after action reports that I absolutely hated and was poor at, that showed me that there's a lot to being the top leader that was just unpleasant to me. Even though years have passed, reflecting on that time and the wealth of knowledge that my SASI and, especially ASI, gave me; have been invaluable, that makes me wish I had more time with them. As sadly, where I grew up, the amount of great role models were few and far in between. Anyway, I don't know why I talked about my personal life all just to say that I really admire people who can admit that they're not suited for the position. Perhaps the current "inclusivity" politics makes me value those kinds of things even more.

My only real gripe with the Minutemen is more of a game limitation, or lack of imagination/time on Bethesda's part. As you get more settlements, more people, more resources to help others, especially once you retake the Castle, you should be able to do things like "I'm not gonna get there quickly, send a squad to help. I'll get there as soon as I can" or something to that effect. Even if it's only in game effect is extending the timer until you can get there yourself. The We Are the Minutemen mod gets a lot closer to what I wanted vanilla to be, where your hard work gets put into giving them better weapons and armor, vertibirds, power armor, etc, to make them more effective. You can train Minutemen. I would spend *hours* teaching new recruits or helping jaded vets or the like. When you have all or most settlements, why not adapt radiant quests to be more of a "this is a bigger problem than our citizen soldiers can handle themselves" flavor to represent the Minutemen growing as a faction and your responsibilities changing as you go from their only real asset to the head of a mobile and versatile organization? I would have spent so much time just running radiant quests.

I can’t wait to hear the effects of the minutemen in Fallout 5, maybe as a holotape or a report from a faction.

I think F5 will take place somewhere in the Midwest. Personally, I am gunning for a Fallout game set along the Mississippi River, starting in New Orleans and slowly working your way up the river securing cities along its banks (i.e., Memphis, St. Louis, the Twin Cities, and as DLC Vicksburg/Jackson, Baton Rouge, and Shawnee National Forest), to have a trade network that spans the river. My idea would be that each stop along the way is its own individual map, which you travel to by boat, each map being the size of F4's map with unique factions in each stop, with there being 4 significant factions that exist along the river, the Brotherhood being one of the major ones, but each major faction will be the morally right choice in only one stop. Before you leave the starting area, you must choose one of them, and you can never leave them when they do something you don't feel right with along the way. This idea would take years and years to work on and would be the most complex game ever made, but I feel that if it is ever made, it should be the last Fallout game ever, the ultimate achievement for the franchise.

Just found this video, been subbed for a few months but, I started my first playthrough of Fallout 4 and I've decided to side with the Minutemen I've gotten to the glowing sea at 3 days and 14 hours in because I've been going around, helping settlements, helping to build their defenses, set up trade routes, and making sure everything is working well. I have maybe 5 or so settlements I haven't gotten to yet because either I'd have to make a long trip there to discover it or I don't have the skill level to try and kill the raiders there and have them decide if they want to join the Minutemen. But I like knowing that I'm actually helping people in the game, I'm not bossing people around like I would if I was sided with the brotherhood.

Too bad the brotherhood probably already killed him to keep him from reminding them how much better things were under the Lyons and refusing to lie about Maxy walking on water and shit,

The ideology that the Minutemen represents in their ideal form would be mutualism. It doesn't prevent an exchange of labor for resources, but it does notice that mutual dependence is required for societal well being, in a form of symbiosis. It's a branch Anarchism with emphasis on mutual aid.

This is why, ever since the Automation DLC, I make it a point to kit out my settlements with at least one two guys in Power Armor and a squad of robots. May not have many actual recruits, but they damn sure have the firepower. I RP it as the Sole Survivor using resources he scavenged from the BoS to actually do some good in the world.

At the end of the day when I open up my pip boy map and look at all of the settlements that have joined the minutemen, look at the vast supply lines I’ve built up, the settlement happiness, seeing thriving settlements, I feel pride. I’m proud of how I as well as the minutemen have evolved and what I have built it up to be. Now, I cannot imagine siding with any other faction. They are truly the best hope for the commonwealth.
