Agree with @mesmeris, the Thuggysmurf mods "Outcasts and Remnants" and "Fusion City Rising" provide an ending that lets you control the MM and Institute, make peace with RR and Brotherhood, and get Liberty Prime as a companion, with a fun story plot that's more logical than Bethesda's.

Complete the institute all the way through and its the same ending too lol.

I've downloaded some mods that allow all the factions to survive although the Institute has an interesting change .... it's the group of mods including Fusion City. Just have to start the mods before you get too far along. Love this as a better ending.

i agree with Echang on that Instiute and MM Canon ending For life

I'm not gonna get into this discussion, but I feel like the Institute and Minutemen ending is the best. The Institute is the only group that has technology surpassing pre-war tech, and the Brotherhood of Steel is just a group of power hungry dictators that rule with an iron fist.

What's wrong with completing the Brotherhood quests "Tour of Duty", and "Show No Mercy" in part one?
