Old Post Three ways to play Conqueror

I am about to try out Conqueror again. Leaving out the new faction packs, it seems to me there at least are three ways to crack this nut:

First, is the Good Guy: just want prebuilt settlements. Save Quincey Five as usual. Run Preston's Minutemen quests as usual except this time when I get to Tenpines for the first time I won't just be helping two dirt farmers who live in a shack, but those same two dirt farmers and 13 of their friends who now live in a fancy village. I still only have to kill some raiders to get them to turn over the keys to the city. But now my effort is rewarded with a fully built city plan and not just 12 tatos. Play is basically everything I'm used to but with cities from the start. Have fun, General. I heard about another settlement that needs help.0:D

If I decide later to turn coat and adopt the raider lifestyle, I don't see much of dilemma: I was going to attack this same settlement/city plan anyway just as if I chose to go...

...The raider path (Bad Guy) Help Jammer. Kill Preston and everyone in the museum because I am a bloodthirsty bastard buffed out on psychobuff and after all those hundreds of hours listening to Radio Freedom I owe it to myself to free myself and take another hit of jet because how else am I going to catch up to Mama Murphy, that rabbit is fast! Take over settlements in an entirely new way. Vassals. Slave outposts. New quests. Surprises ahead. No Preston or radio freedom sending me on errands.:evil:

The third way is the Jake Finch way. I think I want to be a raider but I'm not sure. Maybe raiding outside the commonwealth, or at least not at my own settlements, is ok. I'll help out Jammz to see if the raider's way is for me (who was it that said, "Once, a philosopher; twice, a stone cold killer"?), but I'll let the Quincey Five live because deep down I am still just a good guy trying to make things right.:scratchhead

Imo the raider way is the ONLY way to go with conqueror. I haven't tried it any other way (and I won't) but Jammer has a story and you'll be missing out if you don't go with him.

I can give you a real good run down on a great way to play a raider (mods to install, etc) if you want, as I have been doing it with alternate starts before conqueror came along?

Edit:/ Do you have the Nuka World dlc?

Oh, Garvey's dead. He just don't know it, yet.

Yep, I gots Nuka World: Conquered the Commonwealth the old way once before and also bumped off all the gangs in another game. And thanks. That's kind of you. I will def take you up on that but I'm planning on starting this attempt with Conqueror (last go was back in January right after release) with as minimal mods as possible. At least until I can scope out how everything fits together.

I was hoping to get started today but Xbox live is jacked up this afternoon and I can't get into the mods load menu to get everything updated and gassed up. Happens every time I get the notion to update stuff.
 
So satisfying!

In all the many hours I've played this game, usually rubbing out any faction or concluding the main quest is such a let down. I usual feel bad. After killing all the Nuka World gangs, I remember thinking Nuka Town was so empty now. I genuinely hated myself for killing the Railroad. Destroying the institute even left a big hole in my heart. The Quincey Five have never bothered me. I don't even hate Preston or Marcy like most, but bumping them off in the museum really is surprisingly satisfying.
 
I haven't finished the main quest normally in a long time, I find it boring after you kill Kellogg.
Don't get me started on Nuka World, soooo much wasted potential it makes me kinda mad. Honestly, they could've made a whole other game out of it instead of releasing that garbage F76. The voice acting and character animations alone are far superior than vanilla.

Killing the Longs is great, I hate the pair of 'em.

I'd love to hear your suggested mods!
