Updated/Simplified Video (same ending): www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKpxViy-OzY
An updated version of my Best Minutemen Ending video. After helping people with their questions and concerns by going back to my older saves, I discovered that it’s possible to complete nearly every main quest from each faction and reach a peaceful ending with the Minutemen. Timestamps and additional notes below. Leave annotations on, and click the icon on top right corner for links to related videos.
Notes:
- To progress further in the BOS questline, Outside the Wire and From Within must be completed. To receive these quests, I spoke with Maxson after first entering the Institute with the help of the Minutemen. After receiving these two quests, I then went to Sturges to ask for the holotape that I had given to him after completing the Molecular Level and Inside Job. This holotape was then given to Proctor Ingram. Conversely, if you completed Outside the Wire before Inside Job (such as by setting up the signal interceptor with BOS), you can retrieve the holotape from Proctor Ingram and give it to Sturges.
- I spoke with Captain Kells after giving the serum to Virgil. I needed to pass a speech check to convince him that the serum worked.
- Requirement #1: Avoid completing Tactical Thinking (BOS), Underground Undercover (Railroad), and Mass Fusion (Institute). Each quest represents a turning point for its respective questline. This is also the furthest that you can progress while on good terms with all factions. That means you can make a save before being banished, go back, and decide to join a different faction if you'd like by progressing beyond one of those quests.
- Requirement #2: Complete Defend the Castle and The Nuclear Option with the Minutemen.
- A notification (9:08) will appear when the player is about to perform an action that will make them enemies with another faction.
- If signal interceptor was built with another faction, speak with Preston after being banished from the Institute to receive Inside Job, which allows you to retrieve the Institute holotape through dialogue.
- Complete Covenant quest before completing story.
- After completing the main storyline, I was able to instantly get Bunker Hill as a settlement by speaking with Kessler.
- I can confirm that completing A Clean Equation won't result in becoming enemies with the BOS. However, if you haven't yet gone back to PAM to complete it and wait 24 hours, approaching the Brotherhood will cause them to turn hostile. As such, ensure that you go back to PAM to complete the quest, and wait 24 hours, before interacting with members of the BOS.
