On my Minuteman run I actually reclaimed the commonwealth. I got every settlement set it up with decent defenses, food, water, beds. Linked them all with Local Leader and have a thriving community of moisture farmers and glue mat providers. Plus artillery EVERYWHERE. I thought it was a fun concept to rally the community. I have not pulled the trigger yet on the minuteman nuclear option but once I do I will try and finish my Ad Victoriam character and blindly follow the Broho into techno hording, long hand holding showers, and bleed brotherhood foreverness.
My institute sneak ghost amoral guy was like, uhh yeah, **** that ima rule you all with my robot army. So I think their is a nice measure of roll play available between the different factions. Even if they are mostly morally grey or inept.
Edit: Oh and I do different play styles for each character. One might be a hard charging bash melee shotgunning hip shooting combat rifle commando, while another is a sneaky 12X damage knife stabbing Deliverer sniping secret agent ghost. I just like to build concepts and roll with it in Beth games.
