To go where??

[Tor [ham mafia]]

the main routes

[Chaosium]

Railroad

[wtiger27]

Research online using YouTube, the factions of Institute, Minutemen, Rail Road and Brotherhood of Steel. It is really up to which you feel would be the most fun and if your personal values ( if you want to role play close to how you are in the real world when it comes to values ) are important in your play run.

I refuse to ally with a faction that tries to murder you right from the beginning.

[Chaosium]

Roadrail

[sascomander]

You could do the secret keep everyone alive ending. However spoilers Paladin dance will be fighting the brotherhood for eternity.

honestly the minute men they are the only true path for the commonwealth

[holmdt]

I do the side quest and explore. People that piss me off or harm Dogmet I will fight them. No right or wrong way just your way.

[Tesityr]

If I may suggest: ALL OF THEM :D

Play one way, then on your next character/game, play another way - see ALL the endings! yay

(ALso, some random things will happen in game like encounters and NPCs etc, and you probably won't see them all in one game...)

[Grace1957]

Exactly what I was going to say.Play all of them otherwise you're missing a good chunk of the game.

This.

Because only the institute says "leave us alone" while all three of the other factions believe a nuclear detonation in what's left of Boston will make the world a better place and solve the problems caused by the thermonuclear war.

I mean, you go to far harbor and give the Children of Atom what they want - division, by setting off a nuclear bomb. DiMA even says he's worried that's what they want. In the Glowing Sea, you find the CoA trying to set off a nuclear bomb in Prescott.
But you set it off, and the Mariner says she hopes you didn't make the radiation problem worse for the island. [b[Cuz ya'all didn't figure that out back before this DLC and Bethesda was disappointed in you.[/b]

-Rush to Nuka World.
-Become the new raider Overboss
-Pillage, enslave and kill everyone else
-????
-Profit

At least play with all of them until you get an idea of who you like the best.

The only exception might be avoiding the MInutemen if you want to play around with the Nuka World gangs without permanently losing Preston as a companion. And it's not like you can get rid of the Minutemen anyway.

Get the Project Valkyrie mod and convince the institute to stop being supremacist ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and the rest of the factions to stop wanting to murder the institute. Like the routes in vanilla make no logical sense at all. The only faction I can imagine that may be unreasonable would be the brotherhood but if you become the leader of the institute there is literally no reason the minutemen or railroad to oppose you, you can and have every reason to help them with your newfound power.
