Beds are bourgeois nonsense, we don't bother with such frivolous luxuries in my sanctuary. The ground is good enough for dogmeat and it's good enough for them, god dammit. Also, I wish I could move Marcy.
Seriously though, all my other settlements have great amenities, I just really hate sanctuary. I'd send her to an empty settlement and never look back.
See, that's because you're spoiling them. I give my settlers the barest minimum they require, sometimes even less than that - slap some beds… more in existing shacks, plant some tatos if I happen to have any on me, and they're oddly content, at least I haven't heard any of them whining (other than Marcy Long that is, curse her).
But maybe they just don't want to pester the director of the Institute.
I actually feel pity for Marcy Long. Her behaviour hints that she has some sort of stress/anxiety disorder (maybe even PTSD). Between the wasteland, losing her son and watching her husband descend into a deep depression, she has had it rough.

That seems to be the case whenever you're given the option to become a leader. You'd think the Minutemen and the Institute would want to keep their leader protected at all times.
I'd vote the Railroad because at least the and the Minutement seem to form a kind of kinship. Two factions looking out for the Commonwealth = better than one.
I find the question interesting. Let's compare, where the four endings leave us, government wise.
Institute : Won't allow a central government to form, presence causes infighting an instability. For claiming to "drive humanity forward", the institute is really doing a good job at holding humanity back. Basically Tribalism, turning into Transhumanism when/if the Institute decides to share their innovations.
Brotherhood : Hands off government that tithes farms, confiscate tech in exchange for providing protection against existential threats. Minutemen could still exist as a peacekeeping force, but the BoS probably won't be keen on a civilian government. The result is a fairly libertarian vision of Feudalism.
Railroad : Liberation, but not much else. No serious obstacles to a central government, but still not likely if the Minutemen aren't well developed. This is Anarchy, the absence of a state, or state imposed hierarchies.
Minutemen : Good shot at forming central government. Network of allied settlements, protected by the Minutemen on the principle of Mutual Aid. This is a primitive form of Mutualism or Syndicalism. If a central government forms, it would most likely be a minarchy. The continued existence of the Brotherhood could prove very dangerous, and a Minutemen-Railroad alliance solves that problem by blowing up the Prydwen.
If you want stability for the Commonwealth then the Brotherhood is the best choice, since they're the only faction concerned with and capable of bringing some order to the wasteland by dealing with the supermutant and feral ghoul threats.
If humanity is who you want the best outcome for, then it's the Institute, as they possess the knowledge and ability to eventually help the human species recover, as opposed to just survive, but the current surface citizens of the Commonwealth will be doomed to die out.
The Minuteman are a temporary solution to local problems, but stand no chance against larger threats, and will probably fall apart due to internal squabbles the moment they lose - or lose faith in - whoever leads them at the time.
The Railroad is concerned with synths only.
But of course this is all just how I see it. In either case, I think Bethesda tried pretty hard this time around to not give us any blatant 'good' and 'evil' choices.

I don't know, the Minutemen seem very capable of dealing with ferals and mutants from what I have seen in my playthrough. Sure, the Brotherhood has the best chance, but to imply that they are the only ones capable is unfair and an underestimation of the Minutemen's abilities.
In my playthrough, they single handedly took down the Institute AND the Brotherhood without any - not even the Railroad's - assistance. Ghouls and mutants are not too much of a jump from that.
The Minutemen fell apart from infighting, yes, but that was because they became too secular and unorganised after the fall of their headquarters at Fort Independence: something that would do (and in my case, has done) similar things to the Brotherhood with the destruction of the Prydwen and the death of Maxson.

Alright, it seems that the Minutemen should ally themselves with the Railroad if you go with them, thus resulting in the destruction of the Brotherhood of Steel and the Institute. With me, however, I never allied with the Railroad when I went with the Minutemen, and still took on the Institute, and destroying the Brotherhood didn't come until after the main quest was complete and I had become enemies with the Brotherhood well amd truly after that by killing Maxson. If I wanted, the Brotherhood could have remained indefinitely.
What did I do differently for this to happen?
Edit: Okay, here is what I did with my playthrough concerning the factions, just for clarification.
COMMONWEALTH MINUTEMEN: I followed through on all of their quests (obviously) and put them into power.
RAILROAD: I only went to them when I had to - with the courser chip. I completely left them alone after having given them the chip.
INSTITUTE: I straight out refused to join the Institute.
BROTHERHOOD OF STEEL: I stuck with them until I got aboard the Prydwen and heard Maxson's little speech. Once he promoted me to Knight, I took my T-60 and left straight after that. Once the Institute was destroyed, I decided that Maxson was a threat and a douchebag and killed him. I went to Preston thereafter and he proposed that we destroy the Prydwen, and disable the Brotherhood by extension.
Jump off mountainside.

Saint Peter be like "Your purpose in life hasn't been fulfilled. Imma send you back to that settlement."

I like how the game says adhesive is the rarest component to find in the game. No it's not they're everywhere! Duct Tape and glue are all over the place. You could get them cheap at any vendor.

Aluminum is a different story.

Ha! Yup.

Am I the only one who thinks of Fallout when listening to this song?
Yup, this song works pretty well actually when you listen to the lyrics.
Too bad Bethesda only puts 50s songs in the game,or this would've been one badass song to add :')
I actually feel pity for Marcy Long. Her behaviour hints that she has some sort of stress/anxiety disorder (maybe even PTSD). Between the wasteland, losing her son and watching her husband descend into a deep depression, she has had it rough.
Just so long as it was not on the radio and utilised cleverly, yes.

"Hey Paston! Here's an idea. How about you go to the settlement yourself? I have enough shit to do already." - My very annoyed protagonist.

Here's the a question that'll spark some debate. Which ending leaves the Commonweath in the best stability? AKA which ending is the "good" ending
The 'most' good ending is the Minutemen without doubt imo. Most stable is debatable.
.
I'd vote the Railroad because at least the and the Minutement seem to form a kind of kinship. Two factions looking out for the Commonwealth = better than one.
I think the Minutemen is the best ending because they seem to be the only ones who dont want to go:
"YO LETS GO KILL THOSE OTHER FACTIONS BECAUSE WE CAN!"

You're a Beth-drone.

Don't listen to those schools of COD fish.
Minutemen/Railroad alliance all the way.
It's a shame you can't sway the ideals of the Brotherhood like you could in New Vegas.
Im just gunna
I just bought Fallout 4, it'll arrive here by Saturday. This is my first Fallout game and I hope it's as good as some say it is!
