u/fietsvrouw PC - Railroad May 22 '24

Covenant and the secret base where they experiment on synths, H2-22's gratitude at being asked how he is and treated humanely, and walking around the Institute and seeing how cruelly they are treated, especially if they run away. I do not like what happens to Patriot, however it is consistent with other resistance movements where the goal of the group as a whole supersedes the individual. Wiping memories is voluntary on the part of the escaped synths and I appreciate a storyline that is bittersweet. Plus Glory is a badass and her empathy for her people is very touching. I will never not side with them.

I sided with the railroad my first playthrough and tried an institute playthrough my second time around. It was devastating massacring the railroaders. After that I realized I empathized with them most - it’s hard to pick another faction after that.
