Regarding Bunker Hill, Desdemona and the Minutemen. (Minimal Spoilers)

[Cogsworth]

During the Bunker Hill quest I want to 'Inform the Railroad' but Desdemona won't let me without firmly choosing the Railroad over the Minutemen. If I agree with Desdemona and say I'll side with railroad will this have any reprecussions down the line? I'd like to avoid pissing the Minutemen off as my loyalty primarily lies with them, but I also believe in the Railroad's cause and don't want to finish this quest without informing them.

If I'm not mistaken, you can take the middle ground during that quest, when it actually goes down at bunker hill, since I was able to do so with BoS, making no enemies in the process.

You will know how to stay on the Railroad's goodside once you play it through.

I'm stuck on this too. I found 3 other Railroad quests while Desdemona wants me to choose between the Minutemen and the Railroad. I finished the quests, with one wanting me to speak with Desdemona to finish it, but she only replies yes and to choose between the 2 factions. First I said I don't know and I would consider it then I saved and picked Minutemen to see what their reaction would be and maybe I could turn in the quest. Desdemona asked me to join again after picking Minutemen so I dunno what to do, definitely not going with Railroad on this run, just wondering if I choose Railroad if I can turn in the quest and the Minutemen will still like me. Any one else know?

Also I haven't made it to the Bunker Hill quest.

I don't remember ever having to choose between the Railroad and the Minutemen. If I remember correctly; at Bunkerhill I was a member of the Railroad, the Minutemen and the Brotherhood of Steel, with no negative effects after the battle. I wish I could remember more details.

I eventually had to choose between the Railroad the Brotherhood and the Institute, but never the Minutemen.

Trying to keep things spoiler free but there will be some stuff about an ending here.

I ended up leaving things as they were with Desdemona and going to Bunker Hill without informing her. I was able to manipulate events there that let me keep my standing with the Railroad and I ended up going against the Institute. This lead on to some quests from the Minutemen vs Institute and after continuing along to the end of the game I was able to keep my standing with all factions other than the Institute, after which I was able to continue doing questing for Desdomona without the 'choice' dialogue interfering.

That part was deceiving. The thing is that you can't actually complete the Minutemen route unless you get kicked out of the Institute. In contrast, the Railroad route can only be completed if you have access to the Institute. You can choose the Railroad over the Minutemen for no consequence since they are friendly to each other. The moment you get kicked out of the Institute, Desdemona will tell you to rejoin the Minutemen since the latter is their last hope.

tl;dr - Just side with the Railroad for now. You can switch back to Minutemen later.

Yea I progressed further in the story and no matter far I get I can't complete any RR quests needing Dez's stamp to end it, she only wants to talk about siding with the RR, so prolly you're going to have to create a save and do what Taiakun suggested. Friggin buggy game.

Hey guys i have the same problem here, what did you do? How did you fix it?
Thank you very much for your help!

[GObonzo]

keep up with the railroad until a fight with the institute ensues. then the minutemen quests will resume. you have to be in bad standing with the institute for the minutemen portions to continue.

From what I've read from others, you can say that you'll side with the RR without actually doing so. You're not locked out of or into anything, you're just lying.

I look at Battle of Bunker Hill as an opportunity to collect gauss rifles, and t60 power armor sets. I basically wipe out all sides as i make my way in. Just need to remember to shoot the p armor off so they weigh nothing
