So basically all ending are the same?

Just got the ending with the minutemen. Out of curiosity, I looked up all the other endings, and it seems like they are all the same no matter which side you pick. Pretty disappointing considering how radically different all the factions are. What's the point if they all lead to the same place?

Overall I love this game, but the story really ran out of steam in the end. In terms of plot, I'd say New Vegas is the best of all the Bethesda/Obsidian Fallout games.

Institution ending is different, obviously.

If you want good story telling and choices, yeah, go New Vegas / Obisidian's next Fallout game.

For some reason, Liberty Prime (while cool) felt like the ultimate "sorry guys, we couldn't really come up w/ anything.. let's just rehash this instead" in this storyline.

Kinda like Deathstar 3, sorry, Starkiller Base.

The endings aren't differant outside of the institute but the run up to the ending is differant per faction.

It's just a real shame they put so much effort into making distinct and unique factions when the endings are all so similar.

Plots are a lot like a diamond shape, it starts narrow and then it grows wide. But the summary is usually the same so it narrows again. Personally I enjoy the gameplay and exploration. Taking my time and checking everything out, I'm in no rush to go anywhere.

Like, only slightly

It starts out differently, but you wind up in the same place anyway.

U can keep the instuite going, or tell the kid to stay before you blow it up.

Ending cut scene.
yep pretty much. On the positive side it didn’t annoy me as much as 3
Final 'mission'
Reasonably similar between Brotherhood/Minutemen/Railroad but I'm glad the Institute ending was in a completely different locale. Defending the stronghold was also a nice touch
Ending outcomes
Hard to say as people seem to want to play after the main quest. Whilst I understand the idea behind 'show don't tell" as it applies to consequences for you action it makes it difficult to have changes that aren't simply cosmetic. I guess we might get post-game DLC or may have to wait till fallout 5 to hear about any intermediate/long term consequences of our actions
