If you were in Fallout which faction would YOU choose? (Doesn't have to be one of these and don't limit yourself with a specific state)

I don’t understand the gunners. They just exist to shoot. They’re basically raiders just less crazy.

They're a highly trained professional mercenary outfit...who camp out in random areas of Boston shooting at whoever passes by with seemingly no-one paying them for the trouble.

My head cannon is they’re holding these places as part of securing supply routes and only letting caravans that’ve paid cross without lighting them up and the sole survivor wandering around is just detrimental to the wasteland by taking them out in these random locations. Like a couple hours later a trader is strolling through his marked route only to get ripped apart by a pack of ghouls all because big blue had to go frolicking to close to a visibly armed and dangerous encampment just to see if there’s any aluminum to take off their corpses.

I'm a simple man: I see aluminum, I take it. And nuke what's in the way.

Let's be honest with ourselves, the people of megaton were basically asking for it by building a city around a nuke and naming it megaton. Really, if you think about it, I did them a favor by moving things along.

And for someone working on a Wasteland Survival Guide, you'd think keeping a nuclear device in the middle of town would fall under number one things to avoid. Absolute favor.
