19kp Gaming Ok with all due respect I didn’t need to know that. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it but that doesn’t mean you need to tell everyone. Cool?
Can you do one for vault tec? Improved jumpsuits, improvements for the vault tec workshop dlc, paint jobs for power armor, maybe even a new explorable vault.
Rocket Science if you want some vault tec mods, here ya go pal: . Proto Vault Suit Retexture . Vault Tec Workshop Overhaul . Vault 88 Security Armor . Vault Tec Power Armor . Automatron Robot Vault Tec Paint Jobs . Vault 1080 - This is from NVIDIA. When you play it, turn your godrays to ultra. It's a new vault to explore, it's basically a tech demo for the gtx 1080, but I can still run it with my trusty old 1050ti. I hope this is what you're looking for. Have fun.
It would be neat if there was a mod which allowed you to beat the game with the Institute intact with other factions. Everyone was intent on blowing it up, but the option to save it and use it could be interesting. So if you capture it for the Brotherhood, then you can teleport to the Institute and find all the Synths and human Institute Scientists replaced with Brotherhood Scribes and Scientists scouring their database for new technology. If you capture it for the Railroad, then you would find Railroad operatives using it as a safe haven for Synths, while they search the databases to find other Synths the Institute sent out into the Commonwealth. They could even move some main characters around to help with immersion, so that not everyone in the newly controlled Institute is some unknown person. For example if you take it for the Brotherhood, then you can find Proctor Quinlan there now. He would still give you the same assignments as before, but now he's leading the research at the Institute instead of hanging out on the Prydwen. If you take it for the Railroad then Doctor Carrington and Tinker Tom could be found there as well. Also, companions should be able to join you at the Institute.
But what about a mod where the institute scouts through the remains of the prydwen for pre war tech and liberty prime and take over the railroad base where they take that device they've been using
Sweet, thanks for showcasing my old mod "Better Institute Synth Relay Grenades". Surprised it's still working. Been forever since I've messed with any of that. ha
I disagree, I'm glad a lot of people disagree with it, because none lore friendly mods can give a good laugh, wishing everyone shared your mindset is kind of shallow.
The Nerd Empire the Institute and Brotherhood are literally the only ones that are interesting, they both have awesome technical prowess ,a strong military , and a stable Faction. The minutemen? Because I can't kill them, I decided to make the most of it and use them as my police force while either the Brotherhood or Institute as my actually Government and military force. The railroad is just Garbage.
In my game, I chose the Institute. My roleplay reason for keeping the Minutemen around were to be a sort of police force, and the face of all my settlements.
My faction list 1.Minutemen good ending ( Peace between railroad, brotherhood and minutemen) 2.Brotherhood Of Steel 3. Institute 4. Railroad 5. Radroaches
Check out Smaller Institute Weapons, it makes all Institute weapons noticeably smaller and held lower in first person so wielding Institute weapons doesn't feel like trying to wield a tactical refrigerator haha
best faction, the institute... can some one explains to me, you become superior and best position in institute... why the hell people think we cant change institute to be good and help commonwealth...?
Laa Mawjuud Because the Institute is not you, it's MANY people, and for GENERATIONS they done a lot of bad things. So, some might argue, they are beyond redemption, they must be destroyed to right all their wrongs. I myself like the Institute, but I only did so because I believe with people like Madison Li and Binet, it can truly change for the better.
MistaGify right i mean one person can change a corrupt institution, i mean we do something similar in fo3, nv, and in some respects fo4, in nv we help fix the brotherhood after elijah, we can take down house and fix the strip unifying the families again and making the strip better, in fo4 we fix the reputation of the minutemen after quincey and partially the bos after killing maxston, there is precedent of fixing corrupt organisations and ones that lost their way, and the institute has all the makings to be an actual savior of humanity woth some restructuring by the new director, allowing for better relations between commonwealth and institute by sharing some of the tech, allowing for their expirements to be done under better oversight and with the crops, in a more stransparent manner, and making synths a kind of guarding force for the commonwealth, like the cyberdogs from big mt and the mojave, with their teleportation allowing them to defend any settlement in moments, i made a connection to house and fixing the strip, well thats cuz the gen 2 synths are basically humanoid securitrons with more judgemental abilities, the institute under the lone wanderer has the ability to make the commonwealth as safe and progressive as the strip is under the courier
Indeed, the Institute, despite its power, is a relatively small organization. A single strong personality in the central chair can definitely make vast changes to it. As long as the geeks are allowed to continue their experiments in their labs without interference from pesky commonwealth scavs or zealots, you can pretty much do whatever you want.
I love how your Institute character looks like a 90s Saturday morning cartoon villain, it just works so well! I usually either make my characters everymans or really embrace the old Bethesda nightmare fuel character design philosophy (if you know you know) but I like the idea of making a character with a cartoony theme such as yours or maybe a drill sergeant caricature for a Minutemen general, a Prince Charming character for the BoS, or like a James Bond-esque character for the Railroad.
Personally I went with Terminator Synth Gen2 by SecretAgent99. Comes with various skeleton and eye color options, and brings the skin closer to human pigmentation. I remember going with Institute blue energy colored eyes, and I probably chose the dirty steel skeleton to give it that cleaner mechanical look, while retaining the grit of wasteland wandering.
+Giannis Balagiannis First of all, why are you trying to use gay as an insult? Second of all, it's the Minutemen, very easy to remember. Third of all, you've presented no actual arguments except one against the Minutemen.
Giannis Balagiannis You called the Institute gay for not helping the people of the Commonwealth, despite originally trying to work peacefully with them. *Slow claps* Being gay is a sexuality, not something meaning being a complete jackass to people.

+Oxhorn, this video made me a subscriber. I was wanting to do an Institute playthrough and this video has really inspired me to jump right into it. Thanks for making such an awesome video.
One of my favs is the phase 4 Institute expansion mod. Its pretty cool it adds several new areas/ rooms to the Institute making it bigger. New labs. A command center etc
This is a really great series of videos you've started. As someone who really digs into RP-themed playthroughs, it's awesome to have a set of improvements and assorted QOL additions. This has actually made me want to try an Institute run for the first time. I enjoy all your videos, but I think this is the first time I've seen someone provide a sort of "mod suite" for certain types of playthroughs. A great initiative. : ) Thanks very much for sharing!
Those "reclaimation chairs" aren't actually what you think they are. You ever heard of those massage chairs they sometimes have in shopping malls? Well the so called "reclaimation chairs" are actually similar to those, except that instead of performing a massage, they perform acupuncture. See, it turns out that the institute had a phase when they where researching "alternative medicine", including traditional Chinese medicine, such as acupuncture. The acupuncture chairs are a result of that project. (It's just a useful side characteristic of the acupuncture chairs, that they have direct access to the nervous system, and can be used to reclaim their wayward synths.) It may be possible for them to be used to brainwash regular humans for all I know. But surely they are the best at releasing your body's tension, and unblocking your chakras! These chairs would be a great addition to any settlement to make the settlers happy.
Dude you missed LAE. The Institute Electro Laser mod is a must for me. Thanks for highlighting your that first mod. Definitely downloading it right now.
Wow your BOS and Institute videos like this just make me wanna do my first BOS playthrough and my 4th Institute playthrough, these mods are amazing. Good work on the video and finding these mods.
A thank for you this Oxhorn, my main character is with the Institute and it's being quite annoying how very few (in comparison to the other factions) mods there are which aren't just retextures for them. So thanks for putting together this straight forward comprehensive list! Hopefully this'll help other Institute players find mods in the future too.
Cheers for this compilation, I’ve always loved the institute when I’m not playing nuka world and needed a good list of extra mods to add to my hoard (200+ now...)
14:00 "you can reeally see the depth" while the skin tight butt is shown while the camera go's up, was that joke intended or not??? its still funny though and around 16:30 there apears to be a stray mouse...
The Institute Power Armor by M150 looks like something straight out of Wolfenstein: The New Order. It is so awesome, and I wish they kept it in the game, but thank God for the mod.
IMO the FN P90 and HK G11 mod fits perfectly with the institiue, because they have awesome institute skin and the skin make them actually shoot blue laser.
for those who are watching this at a later date here are two suggestions for newer, larger mods. Hilda Hughes - An Institute Story www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/22128/? Courser Crusher by Trainwiz www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/24981/?
@@jamiesawdy2357 But why? The institute is genuinely the only future humanity has... The only reason it isn't the Canon ending is because it would make no more fallout games possible, which should be a sign it's good. The brotherhood wants to destroy technology that could catapult humanity so far when it comes to technology, and I'm not even talking about the destruction of The Institute base (which everybody wants to do). As Piper says, the railroad is perfectly okay with taking in and protecting synths who have most certainly killed and kidnapped multiple people, so they are just as evil as the institute... And that's not to mention the fact that there's no way that the Synths are actually sentient, considering that if the institute can fix their sentience so easily, it has to be a problem in the programming like they imply... The minutemen are the only ones who are remotely good, but they provide a pretty trash future, not having nearly enough technology to keep things going if they ever became the main faction of the Commonwealth.
@@jamiesawdy2357 First off, assuming your character takes over, and knowing that they have always helped people, that's a future that you shouldn't have to worry about (if you decide to be a good person)... And second, are you implying you would rather have death, destruction, and eradication of the entire Commonwealth over a dictatorship? I mean, all the other factions are making awful choices, or their choices are just very significant. It just seems like The Institute are the only people who actually have an idea of what they're doing...
I just want to say something, as Oxhorn mentions it a few times. Synth and Institute Equipment are MEANT to be made out of plastic, when scrapped, they give plastic as a resource
I do like how clean and crisp the institute is, I just can't bring myself to side with them. I almost did on my first play through but chose the railroad instead. This time it's going to be the minutemen. This video is awesome, some of the mods you showcase here are visually stunning. Thanks for another fantastic video. 👍🏼
Thanks for the great info. Your selection is excellent both in lore and gameplay. I always thought Bethesda was a bit negligent towards all who chose to join the Institute. Its great there all those great modders out there to fix it.
The institute is my favorite faction. It has so much great tech and gear, and it's perfect for any assassin or morally grey characters. I always play a mercenary playthrough. Morally grey, manipulative, anti hero, gunslinging, gun for hire who has military experience and can battle just about any enemy with little to nothing.
for reals, or at least the moded ones one should overpower the laser rifles. Weak as base cheap for synth use weapons but with the best capability for enhancing. While Laser should be the medium base with decent beggining and high end mods. so much could be imporved in fallout 4.
@FN-2187 My Fallout 4 is heavily modded (255 plugins) and due to some mods like Better Locational Damage and Live Dismemberment, the Synth rifles are one of the top tier weapons in game at this point. Only beaten by the Wattz Rifle mod I have but at best the Wattz mostly deals 3 - 10 more damage (Except the Desintegrator Wattz Unique Legendary)
Love these videos. I have a save with the Institute that I want to go use once again along with the Endless Warfare mod's Enclave Invasion settings. I'll definitely check some of these out to enhance my experience! Excited to see which you do next, since I base all of my playthroughs around specific factions.
15:20 in my main settlement (sanctuary) for the gaurds I made one gaurd dress like a member of the factions and as a minuteman settlement I had A BoS guard An institute gaurd A railroad gaurd A gunner gaurd A miniuteman gaurd A raider gaurd All with their ex factions clothing, armour and weapons so people entering the settlement know that I am accepting of all beliefs as long as you don't turn on me
unrelated comment about this vid, but man you ruined Codsworth. No matter what he should be dapper. A floating Sentry-Bot body with a Robobrain head ain't dapper my man
The institute is the only good faction in the game. People just put unrealistic expectations on scientist that are trying to bring mankind into the next generation of technological and engineering feats. The wasteland and the commonwealth isnt going to change overnight and neither is it realistic that the institute can shelter or teach or feed or trust a city of people who are out for their own selfish needs. When you look at the Institute it is colony of law abiding scientist that share a common goal for mankind and for each other. You look at Railroad or the Brotherhood or the common wastelander they are out for themselves. ---- First, Sure you can bring up that they kidnap people, murdered people, replaced people... Guess what every civilization and nation has done so to protect the sovereignty as whole. When you look at the whole of the fallout universe -- the minutemen, the brotherhood, the railroad all want to blow up the institution. The institution needs their spies, their networks, and their footprint in the commonwealth to protect themselves from outside sources like (BoS technology zealots, Railroad civil rights zealots, and Minutemen and cities of the common people who lash out from not knowing or understanding). , The institute never has declared war on any of these factions. It has only protected itself from factions seeking to destroy it. Railroad formed to destroy the institute, BoS invaded the commonwealth to destroy the institute, and the minutemen are out to destroy due to the concept of (big brother). --------- Secondly,, We as humans fall into complacency and normality and acceptance for status quo unless life is threaten or war brings change. With the institution they look to the future, to build it block by block with a new understanding of what the human race is as a collective. The Institute doesn't ration food, water, and provides for their scientist as a whole. Not one scientist is starving, uneducated or unemployed or out for personal profit--- they are out for the greater good of the institution and mankind. Much like the fantasy of socialism that could never exist in our current world, the institute has achieved it through common goals, providing for each other, and respecting the common man beside them. ---- Thirdly, FEV virus already existed in the west and in the capital wasteland before the institute. The institute never created the fev virus but created a strand similar to it in order to make a cure. To combat a virus as strong as this one, one must dissect it to the fullest before attempting to battle it. --- Finally, Obviously the old world before the bombs and current world were and are self destructive. Both contribute to humankind extinction and the need for change is at the forefront. Only way for prosperity and better living is through science. Every great nation that prospered was through infrastructure and structure and died when complacent accures.
Dude :) all Males...... (mmm... almost all males) love Females. and i prefer to see some nice chick on my screen, and not some strange male that is not me. :)
+Verax I'm Minuteman and I agree with him, Synths SHOULD be free but the Railroad just do everything stupid and value Synthetic lives over Humans. This is why the Minutemen should be left to deal with the Synth problem and not the other factions because they are too blind with their own ambitions and goals.
ZombieGamerz2015 They mostly just don't want the synths under the control of the institute. When they "rescue" synths, they often override their personalities, basically killing them. The have some cool gear, but they are my least favorite faction.
I sometimes use the Courser X-92 Power Suit mod for an Institute playthrough. I find it fits really well with the theme. Although it's a bit too clean, but it is nice.
Question Oxhorn, how would you feel about a lore friendly companion mod with extended full dialog, crude yet wonderful humor, sad depressing back story, and all in all base game feel to him? Or your thoughts on a mod that forces the player to carry weapon magazines instead of ammo like real world combat, as well as a settlement defense piece that makes it so that you may have a mounted turret to gun down on coming raids? Just want to hear your thoughts on it sir. and PS, love the beard, wish I could grow one myself
I hope this means you'll be doing a best mod list on both Railroad and Minutemen. Thanks to this video I now have some ideas for turning Spectacle island into a giant synth base. Thanks!
I find it interesting that BoS and Minute Men are favored factions in a regular playthrough, but Bos and Institute are done during Survival mode frequently. Tech matters I guess.
Funny how the white T-60 and T-45 actually look like Stormtroopers... despite not being the intent. The visor design is what really gives me that impression
Oxhorn says he wants mods that are lore friendly, dont make the enemies op, and dont make the player op. The screen: oxhorn throws down 50 X01 power armor synths
I always wanted an Institute V2.0...basically, a 'second' near identical copy of the Institute, but one that doesn't bother the Commonwealth, and will survive after the first one is destroyed. Your very own squeaky clean, futuristic, underground metropolis! I imagine it would only have the basic lab interior cells (as opposed to the secondary, story-based interior cells, like the abandoned super mutant lab), and perhaps generic citizens (or perhaps no citizens), so you could send settlers there. Might not even have synths. Maybe the entrance would be from a hidden elevator. Oh well, I guess I should have learned to make mods!
Ox, i like you, i always go for lore friendly mods too because i want to be immersed not just have a laugh, because when i get immersed into a game i play it longer. like when i got skyrim, i did not even know it had mods but when i played it i was so immersed that once i played it all night long non stop and i thought it was only 11pm when i got off (im serious, that really happened) not to mention, when i got skyrim it was the only game i would play even though i had 8-10 other games. in the end my character had full deadric armor and i had completed the dragonborn, dawngaud, and even the hearthfire dlc and i was ready to mod then after i modded skyrim to hell i decided to do that one story mission where i go into an elven party (its early in the game) (skyrim joke)
Hey guys funny story: one time I started up a new game and was doing an institute play through. I was doing the “unexpected valentine” quest and was about to kill Dino and rescue nick when I hear valentine talk a bit differently. I went to investigate and he was WEARING A FULL SUIT OF X01 POWER ARMOUR! It was such a cheat to get it very early in the game as he got out of it as I rescued him

If you turned all the synths into storm troopers then they'd be useless because they'd miss every shot.
They would be clone troopers thnx to their synth nature and not storm troopers. Besides why not turn them to conscripts.

Dude you missed LAE. The Institute Electro Laser mod is a must for me.
Thanks for highlighting your that first mod. Definitely downloading it right now.

Oxhorn - aDd MoRe TiDdY
Thanks!My main character is an Institute character, and I was looking for some fun mods for it. I wish less of them had been just re-textures though!
wouldn't it make more sense for the institute to make use of advanced polymers and plastics instead of the much more rare metal and alloys?
I don't think so when it comes to radiation and EM containment, like on the Inst. weapons which have a radiation warning on the side of them.
Wow your BOS and Institute videos like this just make me wanna do my first BOS playthrough and my 4th Institute playthrough, these mods are amazing. Good work on the video and finding these mods.
Now all we need is for institute weapons to be good
Dr. Limbo I know right like if there the most deadly people in the game then why do there weapons do like 7 dp
A thank for you this Oxhorn, my main character is with the Institute and it's being quite annoying how very few (in comparison to the other factions) mods there are which aren't just retextures for them. So thanks for putting together this straight forward comprehensive list! Hopefully this'll help other Institute players find mods in the future too.
to bad ps4 will never have any of these......those black synth armors look awesome.
Uso on ps4 gives a bunch of the institute items for settlements like the reclamation chair
Kinda old but in case you didn't know, UCO gives you the possibility to change the synth armor skin to white, black or metal gray
Wut about the relay nades
And the shock weapon?
Dude, i watch one of your vids just about every day. Catching up on mods, lore etc. I appreciate all your hard work. Thanks dude.
Hwite.
Cool hwip.
Hweet thins
that's a very qweird thing to say
Brian disliked that
Hwhy would you post this
*HuwU*
Cheers for this compilation, I’ve always loved the institute when I’m not playing nuka world and needed a good list of extra mods to add to my hoard (200+ now...)
I'm just gonna say it his voice is so damn nice
faisal dawood thanks buddy
The Wandering Dovahkiin Sounds like a calm Shane Dawson, so nice haha
Dexter Grey I guess so
About to start another institute character.
This is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks!
14:00 "you can reeally see the depth" while the skin tight butt is shown while the camera go's up, was that joke intended or not??? its still funny though and around 16:30 there apears to be a stray mouse...
The Institute Power Armor by M150 looks like something straight out of Wolfenstein: The New Order. It is so awesome, and I wish they kept it in the game, but thank God for the mod.
I paused and took a screenshot at 14:39 for... research purposes...
Knight? The Elder would like to see you, you forgot to turn on Incognito Mode on your Pip-Boy.
Wait, When did the Elder get access to the Pip-Boy Data?
The "player home" (director quarter) was on PS4 thanks you Ellianora :)
“...So they don’t look like they’re made out of plastic.”
But... They ARE made out of plastic. You get plastic when you scrap the pieces.
IMO the FN P90 and HK G11 mod fits perfectly with the institiue, because they have awesome institute skin and the skin make them actually shoot blue laser.
you may want to do the "smaller institute weapons" mod. Personaly, i find their weapons a bit too big.

Great mod, thanks for sharing!
Great videos! I would love to see an updated version of these faction mod list, the community has come a long way and there are a ton of new options!
for those who are watching this at a later date here are two suggestions for newer, larger mods.

Glad to find someone who can review mods without being fast paced, obnoxious or utterly perverse.
Is it bad that I did the institute ending about 100 times
No brother
Yes
@@jamiesawdy2357
But why? The institute is genuinely the only future humanity has... The only reason it isn't the Canon ending is because it would make no more fallout games possible, which should be a sign it's good. The brotherhood wants to destroy technology that could catapult humanity so far when it comes to technology, and I'm not even talking about the destruction of The Institute base (which everybody wants to do). As Piper says, the railroad is perfectly okay with taking in and protecting synths who have most certainly killed and kidnapped multiple people, so they are just as evil as the institute... And that's not to mention the fact that there's no way that the Synths are actually sentient, considering that if the institute can fix their sentience so easily, it has to be a problem in the programming like they imply... The minutemen are the only ones who are remotely good, but they provide a pretty trash future, not having nearly enough technology to keep things going if they ever became the main faction of the Commonwealth.
@@THE_AceOfSarcasm good point but the institute would act as a dictatorship.
@@jamiesawdy2357
First off, assuming your character takes over, and knowing that they have always helped people, that's a future that you shouldn't have to worry about (if you decide to be a good person)... And second, are you implying you would rather have death, destruction, and eradication of the entire Commonwealth over a dictatorship? I mean, all the other factions are making awful choices, or their choices are just very significant. It just seems like The Institute are the only people who actually have an idea of what they're doing...
I just want to say something, as Oxhorn mentions it a few times. Synth and Institute Equipment are MEANT to be made out of plastic, when scrapped, they give plastic as a resource
What faction do you normally side with Oxhorn?
The Minutemen :) But I have a character on all 4 factions
Oxhorn for the brotherhood
For the Hor-- ehrm um...
I do like how clean and crisp the institute is, I just can't bring myself to side with them. I almost did on my first play through but chose the railroad instead. This time it's going to be the minutemen. This video is awesome, some of the mods you showcase here are visually stunning. Thanks for another fantastic video. 👍🏼
What's the mod you use to make everything further out?
Just set your field of view to 90. Open the console and type fov 90
Oxhorn omg all those harambes C: harambe attack
InFinite Chase its like pokemon... i choose you... Harambeee... (throw pokéball)
Thanks for the great info. Your selection is excellent both in lore and gameplay. I always thought Bethesda was a bit negligent towards all who chose to join the Institute. Its great there all those great modders out there to fix it.
Can you do "(random number)of the Best Railroad Mods for the Xbox one & PC?"
Yep, on my list
Oxhorn what about the Minutemen?
If you do a Best-Minuteman mods video. Please include "We are Minutemen" mod I Highly recommend it.
The institute is my favorite faction. It has so much great tech and gear, and it's perfect for any assassin or morally grey characters. I always play a mercenary playthrough. Morally grey, manipulative, anti hero, gunslinging, gun for hire who has military experience and can battle just about any enemy with little to nothing.
institute rifle should be equivalent to laser rifle
for reals, or at least the moded ones one should overpower the laser rifles. Weak as base cheap for synth use weapons but with the best capability for enhancing. While Laser should be the medium base with decent beggining and high end mods. so much could be imporved in fallout 4.
@FN-2187 My Fallout 4 is heavily modded (255 plugins) and due to some mods like Better Locational Damage and Live Dismemberment, the Synth rifles are one of the top tier weapons in game at this point. Only beaten by the Wattz Rifle mod I have but at best the Wattz mostly deals 3 - 10 more damage (Except the Desintegrator Wattz Unique Legendary)
Im so happy The Institute Power Armor concept was cut...
Will you do a railroad mod
Yes
Matt Ferro Mod showcase*
One thing about the CAST mod is that in the Institue itself, the armour is clean while in the wasteland, it's dirtier, which makes sense
Late to say spoilers on count of the the clip your playing at the beginning.
Had already beaten the game long time ago. But I'm only mentioning to those who just now purchase the game and happen to upon this video.
I'm not sure if that is a spoiler though. Does anyone really wonder if the in-game factions ever end up destroying each other? I think that's a given.
I'm talking about the liberty prime though.
Love these videos. I have a save with the Institute that I want to go use once again along with the Endless Warfare mod's Enclave Invasion settings. I'll definitely check some of these out to enhance my experience!
Excited to see which you do next, since I base all of my playthroughs around specific factions.
They should make a stormtrooper combat armour retexture
For x-box
15:20 in my main settlement (sanctuary) for the gaurds I made one gaurd dress like a member of the factions and as a minuteman settlement I had
A BoS guard
An institute gaurd
A railroad gaurd
A gunner gaurd
A miniuteman gaurd
A raider gaurd
All with their ex factions clothing, armour and weapons so people entering the settlement know that I am accepting of all beliefs as long as you don't turn on me
unrelated comment about this vid, but man you ruined Codsworth. No matter what he should be dapper. A floating Sentry-Bot body with a Robobrain head ain't dapper my man
Well, your profile pic isn’t much better in that regard...
codsworth gets all the lady's in gray garden XD
I can't wait to see the Railroad and Minutemen versions of these :)
The institute is the only good faction in the game. People just put unrealistic expectations on scientist that are trying to bring mankind into the next generation of technological and engineering feats. The wasteland and the commonwealth isnt going to change overnight and neither is it realistic that the institute can shelter or teach or feed or trust a city of people who are out for their own selfish needs. When you look at the Institute it is colony of law abiding scientist that share a common goal for mankind and for each other. You look at Railroad or the Brotherhood or the common wastelander they are out for themselves.
----
First,
Sure you can bring up that they kidnap people, murdered people, replaced people... Guess what every civilization and nation has done so to protect the sovereignty as whole. When you look at the whole of the fallout universe -- the minutemen, the brotherhood, the railroad all want to blow up the institution. The institution needs their spies, their networks, and their footprint in the commonwealth to protect themselves from outside sources like (BoS technology zealots, Railroad civil rights zealots, and Minutemen and cities of the common people who lash out from not knowing or understanding).
,
The institute never has declared war on any of these factions. It has only protected itself from factions seeking to destroy it. Railroad formed to destroy the institute, BoS invaded the commonwealth to destroy the institute, and the minutemen are out to destroy due to the concept of (big brother).
---------
Secondly,,
We as humans fall into complacency and normality and acceptance for status quo unless life is threaten or war brings change. With the institution they look to the future, to build it block by block with a new understanding of what the human race is as a collective. The Institute doesn't ration food, water, and provides for their scientist as a whole. Not one scientist is starving, uneducated or unemployed or out for personal profit--- they are out for the greater good of the institution and mankind. Much like the fantasy of socialism that could never exist in our current world, the institute has achieved it through common goals, providing for each other, and respecting the common man beside them.
----
Thirdly,
FEV virus already existed in the west and in the capital wasteland before the institute. The institute never created the fev virus but created a strand similar to it in order to make a cure. To combat a virus as strong as this one, one must dissect it to the fullest before attempting to battle it.
---
Finally,
Obviously the old world before the bombs and current world were and are self destructive. Both contribute to humankind extinction and the need for change is at the forefront. Only way for prosperity and better living is through science. Every great nation that prospered was through infrastructure and structure and died when complacent accures.
They also murder , kidnap, and enslave people
@@leonbruno5476 did you even read it ffs
14:36 God damn, Curie! (Whistles)
Fuck.... i use a male character, i have been checking internet for hours, the 95% Mods are only for Female.
Dude :) all Males...... (mmm... almost all males) love Females. and i prefer to see some nice chick on my screen, and not some strange male that is not me. :)
The background music in this video takes it to a whole new level
Railroad?
On the way!
Nice!
+Verax I'm Minuteman and I agree with him, Synths SHOULD be free but the Railroad just do everything stupid and value Synthetic lives over Humans. This is why the Minutemen should be left to deal with the Synth problem and not the other factions because they are too blind with their own ambitions and goals.
ZombieGamerz2015 They mostly just don't want the synths under the control of the institute. When they "rescue" synths, they often override their personalities, basically killing them. The have some cool gear, but they are my least favorite faction.
10:06 I feed like the institute would create a synth in power armor that can never leave
That institute armor looks great.
I sometimes use the Courser X-92 Power Suit mod for an Institute playthrough. I find it fits really well with the theme. Although it's a bit too clean, but it is nice.
19:30 reminds me of the 80's Transformer movie poster. All of those lasers.
Planning to do an Institute play-through next I'll keep this in mind.
Question Oxhorn, how would you feel about a lore friendly companion mod with extended full dialog, crude yet wonderful humor, sad depressing back story, and all in all base game feel to him? Or your thoughts on a mod that forces the player to carry weapon magazines instead of ammo like real world combat, as well as a settlement defense piece that makes it so that you may have a mounted turret to gun down on coming raids? Just want to hear your thoughts on it sir. and PS, love the beard, wish I could grow one myself
The Vektor weapon mod with the institute skin is also very nice:)
I hope this means you'll be doing a best mod list on both Railroad and Minutemen. Thanks to this video I now have some ideas for turning Spectacle island into a giant synth base. Thanks!
That synth g3 production can give you man power for an army of any faction
14:38
Oh dear lord
I find it interesting that BoS and Minute Men are favored factions in a regular playthrough, but Bos and Institute are done during Survival mode frequently. Tech matters I guess.
Funny how the white T-60 and T-45 actually look like Stormtroopers... despite not being the intent. The visor design is what really gives me that impression
Cant wait to see the Raider video you talked about. Love this channel
Oxhorn says he wants mods that are lore friendly, dont make the enemies op, and dont make the player op.
The screen: oxhorn throws down 50 X01 power armor synths
8:20 institute paint jobs are available in the creation club now
I always wanted an Institute V2.0...basically, a 'second' near identical copy of the Institute, but one that doesn't bother the Commonwealth, and will survive after the first one is destroyed. Your very own squeaky clean, futuristic, underground metropolis! I imagine it would only have the basic lab interior cells (as opposed to the secondary, story-based interior cells, like the abandoned super mutant lab), and perhaps generic citizens (or perhaps no citizens), so you could send settlers there. Might not even have synths. Maybe the entrance would be from a hidden elevator. Oh well, I guess I should have learned to make mods!
... like a vault?
This guy literally destroys the Institute and wants to keep the Institute.
14:12 my favorite synth inspired body south -oxhorn,2016-2017 bet you do
The t51 with the institute paint job is the best armor for them the armor it suits the theme of cool armor with white and space guns
I love the way you emphasize the "wh" in white.
Ox, i like you, i always go for lore friendly mods too because i want to be immersed not just have a laugh, because when i get immersed into a game i play it longer. like when i got skyrim, i did not even know it had mods but when i played it i was so immersed that once i played it all night long non stop and i thought it was only 11pm when i got off (im serious, that really happened) not to mention, when i got skyrim it was the only game i would play even though i had 8-10 other games. in the end my character had full deadric armor and i had completed the dragonborn, dawngaud, and even the hearthfire dlc and i was ready to mod then after i modded skyrim to hell i decided to do that one story mission where i go into an elven party (its early in the game) (skyrim joke)
Hey guys funny story: one time I started up a new game and was doing an institute play through. I was doing the “unexpected valentine” quest and was about to kill Dino and rescue nick when I hear valentine talk a bit differently. I went to investigate and he was WEARING A FULL SUIT OF X01 POWER ARMOUR! It was such a cheat to get it very early in the game as he got out of it as I rescued him
I really like the jacket in the Pampas set mod.
1:01 all hail for the synths gorillas
