*Spoilers* - Can I destroy Acadia if I went with Minutemen ending?

[kharille]

Just crossed my mind, not sure if anyone has the time to figure this one out and I didn't find anything on google. So what if I went with Minutemen and somehow destroyed the other factions? Theres just no way to lay waste to Acadia right?

You can just go attack it yourself. Everyone there is kill-able. Alternatively, I believe if you go tell the town about Avery, then I believe Allen will lead a charge to go kill Acadia

"Somehow destroyed the other factions"? That's kinda vague. I'd bring division to the submarine-pen vermin & call it a day myself. I take it you wanna claim the entire island?

Maybe they mean they slipped and fell, and accidentally destroyed the other factions.

Your choice of faction during the main campaign ultimately has no bearing on what you can and can not do in Far Harbor. Acadia can be destroyed by bringing the skull and locket of the real Avery back to the town and giving them to Allen Lee.

Using the Brotherhood or the Institute is just another optional way to do it.

o.k. I was under the impression he was referring to the factions of Far Harbor itself, as opposed to the base game factions & that he planned to hoard the island for the Minutemen
I was gonna say, man haven't you salted the earth enough there?

Ah, yes, ok, tell Allan. I thought you'd need Brotherhood or Institute help and thats not happening if you went with Minutemen. I tend to put the main quest on hold.

I find Allen kind of revolting as the sort of xenophobic jerk who's responsible for lighting the fuse on tensions by murdering someone instead of the Harbourmen and Children (some of whom were Harbourmen in the first place) having a peaceful relationship like back in Megaton.

I don't usually wipe out Acadia anyway, though. Not even when I've sided with the Institute. There's nothing gained by doing it from the Brotherhood or Institute perspective anyway (at least with Allen you might be after Lucky Eddy and/or the Destroyer of Acadia perk).

Allen is a horrible person and frankly i would shoot him if I could get away with it but the COA will eventually try to wipe Acadia and the Harbourmen out. The COA In the Nucleus many have some nice people but it's the same group that normally shoots people on sight and tortures people they capture with radiation and engages in human sacrifices

The Children of Atom (at least the ones in the Nucleus) wouldn't be so extremist if they still had Martin as their leader, and Tektus was only able to take over and drive him out because of what already went on.

It's similar with the Harbourmen, where Allen seems to lead the charge on hostility, while the group as whole is equally able to be affected by someone more moderate like Avery or the Sole Survivor if they happen to go that way with it.

Wonder what the original Avery would be like. Perhaps she was 100% behind Allen.
