What I ' m wondering is how they ' re going to keep Ellsworth relevant once this program with Aj and Dean is over . I literally have no idea what he could possibly do after this <| sep |> Doesn ' t meet age requirements . but OldschoolGG on the other hand ! <| sep |> Chancellor , that ' s amazing ! We want to meet these guards who saved you immediately to reward them ! What are their names ? It ' s a pretty squiffy plan if you ask me , but it worked so we have to rationalize it somehow . Could be an interesting story to follow the life of a guard Palpatine forced to lie to support his story . <| sep |> So they created an ugly conflict you ' d rather give the Institute free reign , and let the Railroad ineffectively combat them and fight a losing war of attrition while the Institute consolidates its stranglehold , instead ? You see first hand the tremendous resources , wealth , and power the Institute has at its disposal . The Railroad is never winning that fight , never scratching the paint on that machine , and the Minutemen barely have the werewithal to deal with a band of raiders , much less coursers . The Brotherhood is doing what ' s necessary to end the threat , warts and all , just like they did in D . C . against the Enclave .
