Fallout – Can you defeat Fallout 4 without siding with anyone

fallout-4

Is it possible to defeat Fallout 4 without ever having sided with anyone?

There are certain story points which seem to indicate you'd need to be sided for this person or another to science their way into the institute, or whatever else NPCs need to do to further the story. But for all I know you can do it without siding.

Best Answer

No.

To science your way into the Institute, you need to have someone help you

create the molecular relay. This can be either the Brotherhood, the Railroad, or the Minutemen.

This step requires you to side with a major faction, but your allegiance can still be changed.

To finish the main story line,

you need to either side with the Institute and destroy the hostile factions, or side with one of the other three factions to destroy the Institute.

There is no other way to end the faction war. You could continue playing the game as long as you like without doing this, but you would never "finish" it.

Once you do finish it with one of the factions, the game is permanently changed, and the faction war ends.
