Quest Walkthroughs

Fallout 4, being the sprawling RPG that it is, starts out with a linear quest line that all players have to do, then after a certain point, the player can start choosing which faction quests to do. Players can do multiple factions quests in the same play through, but they will eventually reach points of no return, where players will finish the game with a certain faction.

Main Quests

The main quests in Fallout 4 that every player needs to do to progress the story make up roughly the first half of the game. They provide the player with context to the game and story, introduce them to the cast of colorful characters, and teach them the basics of game mechanics and systems. Towards the end of these quests, there is a choice you will make for who helps you build a teleporter during the mission, The Molecular Level. This doesn’t lock you into a certain ending, but most players will probably use the faction with whom they plan on ending the game.

Faction Quests

After building the teleporter, and depending on how you built it, there are a variety of different quests and paths the player can take — all of which revolve around the four factions. It is possible to do quests from multiple factions, but eventually you will be locked into continuing the story with a singular one. These “points of no return” should be obvious, and the game will let you know that you are committing to a certain faction / ending.
