*'Mass Fusion' and 'Spoils of War' Spoilers* I can't decide who to side with...

[Vibby]

So, whoever I side with on this mission makes the other hostile forever. This choice is much harder than I thought, because only a mission ago I was going to betray the institute, but my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ son had to make me the leader... Talk about guilt tripping. What are the biggest, non spoiler, pros and cons for siding with each one? Who hates me and who likes me?

Nah, that won't be no spoiler if you wanna know benifits and consequences of each side.

Yeah, hell bethesda is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ as everybody's known at the plot, so basically chose whatever you feel like right, I chose Institute and it sucks, well, chose brotherhood it sucks too according to other players feedbacks, so, you won't get satified at the end.

If there is a chance, try side with the minutemen, this is the one faction Ive known does the least damage to the commonwealth.

wether you join institute or brotherhood you will have to kill everyone in the railroad, deacon will hate you. If you institute danse will hate you (if he is still alive) if you go brotherhood x6 will hate you. Despite that it's rather similiar, if you go institute you nuke the prydwyn, if you go brotherhood you nuke CIT. If you go brotherhood you get a little synth shaun if you want and you are promoted to sentinal with the final BOS paint for your power armor, if you go institute you don't get much in the way of direct rewards and shaun dies anyway.

I think you are meant to do what you feel is right and not be chasing rewards.

Nope, lore-wisely you r the leader of institute and the thing most intriguing in the institute is the free doctor, cure you and remove all the deleterious effects.

And if you side with intitute you have a chance to side with the railroad when Shaun sends you to assasinate Desnemona and if you be honest with them they will ask you to infiltrate the Institute to be a double agent, and assasinate Shaun( wtf is this :/, kill your own son serisly?).
