Minutemen Ending (Can I still get it?)

[[PAI] Ambrose]

Here's a good question for someone who really knows the game. I'll give you my situation. I WANT the ending with the minutemen, as the title suggests. My issue is, I think I've screwed myself over.

I'm still allied with every faction. I just failed Bunker Hill, sat in on the meeting with Father, and was announced as the Institute's leader once he passes away. It started "Mass Fusion". I'm given the option to inform the Brotherhood, or travel there. Either way, I lose an alliance. I understand this much.

The problem is, either way I go it seems I'm working with the faction I don't turn on, rather than the minutemen.

I built the signal interceptor with the Minutemen. I have dozens of settlements, all in great shape. I'm at the point where there are no more quests for the Railroad, and the Brotherhood wants me to convince Doctor Li to leave the institute, which I haven't done. Another note that I feel is important, is that I took the holotape from Sturgess after infiltrating the Institute the first time, and gave it to that Brotherhood chick with no legs and red hair (whose name escapes me).

Long story short...is there any possible way for me to get the Nuclear Option with the Minutement? Or have I screwed myself? I've played ahead a few times and tried different stuff, but none of it seems like it'll work.

It's a little complicated. But here is a video of exactly what to do to do the Minuteman Ending with both BOS and RR available to give you quests afterwards.

See, the issue I'm facing (after watching that video) is that "Burning Cover" never starts for me.

Out of curiosity, is that because I haven't gotten Doctor Li from the Institute yet? They've not yet begun working on that massive robot of thiers for the Brotherhood.

From what I remember, you could just attack someone inside the Institute and it triggers the quest Banished from the Institute. From there you can work with the Minutement

Nuclear option is the deciding factor for the ending. Anything else you do will only affect the other faction.

From what im reading you can still do quests for the brotherhood until they give you the quest to deal with virgil. After you have done this quest don't approche this quest giver because he will give you a quest to wipe out the railroad and that will make them hostile. Also , try to do all brotherhood quest before having to deal with Virgil or you might miss some of them (unless they fixed that)

For the railroad , don't finish their quest to save all the synth inside the institute (i believe it's after nuclear option , not sure) You can do it until you armed them if i remember right. Desdemona will tell you to keep working for father or some ♥♥♥♥.

All in all , the minuteman ending is the last resort in case you lose all the other faction so if you want to be sure....just wipe all of them except the minuteman.

Just get banished from the Institute. In your situation, informing the Brotherhood about Mass Fusion is the easiest way to do this.
