I can say with 100% certainty that there'll be a "HQ gets attacked" quest during Chapter 3 - why would there not be at some point? The only variables are when in the storyline it happens and the precise details of how it plays out.
This is the very last thing I'd expect, as plagues are the least controllable weapon ever devised. Nations only have those around as mutually assured devastation, or they're tyrannical and don't care about the consequences. I don't expect tactical nukes either, other than the very popular Fat Man.
Not all of us read the QnA ;-P
I can't imagine him betraying us like that. But those hints are there, yeah... I assume Wise refers to his unnatural cruelty that we'll see at some point (if that's the case, he's not aware of me collecting 1000's of gunner scalps for some unhinged police lady). Orr I guess betraying the minutemen, but that almost seems like the right thing to do in that situation. Or... something like that.
Maybe they already did that and we don't know about it? Though someone needs to instruct them how to make guns, those in the game are mostly dogshit. We are really low on gun manufacturers in the FO4 world now that I think about it. And everyone seems to have one, despite that. Dunno how anyone gets anything done until we unlock the production class.
I mean, it's just such an obvious plot beat, there's no way they'd skip doing that - even if just defending it from the outside (yknow, snipe from the roof, get down in amongst the enemy front lines, whatever your personal build does for combat) against waves of goons for a while.
So, along comes this ambitious new General of the Minutemen, establishing more than a dozen settlements, as well as building up ranks of troops, especially after retaking The Castle. And is quickly becoming a rich arms dealer himself as he "wipes out" the competition. Direct sales?
The official answer is "Chapter 3 is adding an update of the mechanics of Conqueror, but Jammer's Story will have to stay unfinished for now". People leaving the team, voice actor availability, all that kind of thing... makes it very tough to pick a project like that back up after that long dormant.
I'm in. If I can go Open Season on the Raiders.
Kinggath has said a few times that he would like to go back and port Conqueror into SS2 ("maybe one day" kind of thing) and finish that storyline because it never was completely finished, but that would be separate and different from Chapter 3.
I dunno, I think they'd actually fit in pretty well - at least once the initial "my name's Jammer damnit Aiden" phase got through anyway. Jams had a very good mind for logistics and troop recruitment (at least once he stopped hitting the Jet so hard), Ophelia and Theresa can bond over both having the Demolition Expert perk, and introducing Maul's "simple minded wisdom" to Mansfield just screams comedy. Didn't quite have enough time to get to know what Pandora's deal actually was, though.
That quest is completely optional, I went in there the first time and killed them all (insulting their moms didn't improve relations). If you play it normally though, I find it hilarious. Not very in line with the usual and more brutal depiction of super mutants (like in Odette's quest) but the whole game is at fault for that. And there were mutant friendlies pretty much throughout the whole series. Marcus, Fawkes, Lily and Virgil to name a few.
I think the most we'll get is skins changing, like in the Chapter 2 trailer. I don't think gunners have any unique random "decorations", like the raiders did, other than maybe green barricades.
Contrary to some, I find "evil routes" to be boring and predictable most of the time (I swear, if I see another raider arena...). Yes, like in 76 the raider side had more unique characters than the settlers, but I think nothing stops you from creating interesting characters on the good side.
