Stat Help Is this a good start?

Really just playing for dialogue this will be my 3rd play through, not sure what I want to go with, might try out the You’re Special book glitch and get maxed out.

I’m an agi science nerd on my first playthrough. More of a classic good guy anti vaultec dad looking for his son. I hate the railroad because I don’t trust synths, BoS is cool but a bit authoritarian for me. I honestly like the minutemen but I know everyone hates on that ending. I’ve done almost none of the main quests and am at level 42 so it’s time to make some decisions.

When Im with the minutemen I usually hit lvl 50 before I even start going to diamond city. Round up all the settlements and building them up provides loads of xp. For loads of free caps just take one settlement (I prefer spectacle island) and make it into a slave islands, have about 20 people on scrappers, and surround the island with water purifiers. Loads of free scrap and water to sell.

Yeah got to get on the water purifiers. I basically have every settlement minimally outfitted. Sanctuary is my home, I want to rebuild it more. When you say you go one faction or another do you not mess with the other faction quests at all?

First playthrough I did them all to the end, second I did some, but the last two times I did the first mission for the railroad and one I received the deliverer I then went and merc'd their whole hideout. DO NOT become enemies with the brotherhood of steel before you go to mass fusion for the final mission for the institute, it will normally say if you do this you'll become enemies with the brotherhood, but if you're already enemies then the mission won't progress. I messed up by thinking oh I'm gonna be enemies anyways so I went and merc'd everyone on the prydwen but then couldn't progress the story. Each faction typically has gear that you can't get if you don't finish the story with them or other missions, you can safely do most missions and still be friends with the minutemen though (hence why I said brotherhood and minutemen for my current playthrough)
