The Fallout series has given players interesting factions that compete for control in the post-apocalyptic world. However, it often lacks the true freedom for players to create their own path without being tied to existing ideologies. While players usually have to choose between siding with established groups or going against them, having the chance to build an independent power base influenced solely by their decisions is rare. This is where Fallout: New Vegas’ independent ending and Fallout 4‘s minutemen come into play.
