what type of missions does the institute do?

[coolthingsbecool]

should i bring a stealth character? or a tanky character? or something else?

The same sorts that the others give: fetch quests, clear out ghouls, collect supermutant body parts, fight off and steal stuff from brotherhood.

There's zero 'stealth' in terms of any mission in this game anywhere. That's just a character play style choice.

If you really want to play the Institute sadist, grab one of those Injector rifles and go shoot syringed "experiments" at rando NPCs.

You can also try creating your very own Synth through Workshop Synth Production https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/16354?, but that may involve the Institute having been blown up already, if that's not what you wanted.

There are a couple of Nuka World radiant quests to collar people that have a more explicit stealth choice, but generally the game doesn't care how you do things as long as you get them done.

the people you are supposed to put a collar on are invincible (you can even down super mutant suiciders without them blowing up lol).
