First time I went into Insititute I said no to Father and got kicked out. I went back to Brotherhood and got yelled at for not talking to the scientist. So I went back to the previous save and said yes to Father to get access to the Institute and talk to the scientist. That won't get me in trouble with the BOS right? At what point do I turn on the Institute?
You'll want to follow the instructions here, however performance on an integrated Intel card is not at all guaranteed. Very few games will even say they support it.
Thanks! Hopefully that will do some good.
There isn't exactly a quest to turn on the Institute. Rather, you have to do things that are against the Institute's interest, such as arguing with Father, killing Father, sabotaging Institute quests, killing many synths, go on a killing spree in the Institute, etc...
Well, it's not a bad idea to stay on the Institute's good side for awhile, even if you don't plan to side with them, because that way any gen 1&2 synths you run into out in the Commonwealth won't be hostile to you.
I've found the best point to break ties with the Institute is the quest involving Bunker Hill. If you go against the wishes of the Institute during the quest and are honest with Father at the end of the quest, he'll banish you. It's a more naturalistic way of doing it than, say, shooting a scientist in the face within the Institute and making a break for the teleporter with everyone trying to kill you.

After about the 30th kill they finally turned hostile.
Personally, I like the side quests better. Rather, I like aimless wandering in which I encounter side quests. Sometimes I have met the criteria for the quest before I even meet the quest-giver! That's always nice.
that's why you never, ever complete the main story in a Bethesda game until you feel you're truly done with the game
Just wanted to let anyone who didn't already know that @Robert Maxwell is the man! After my ram upgrade, I followed the instructions provided in the reddit link. So far, FO4 is work great on my machine. Similarly I did the same process for both Wolfenstein games - Old Blood now plays perfectly as long as you don't use the map function which causes it to freeze (pretty sure that's a bug as others have this issue) and New Order played fantastic until I got to the prison (it keeps freezing at one spot) but I figure half a game is better than no game at all.
Apparently the Wolfenstein games are just buggy as hell and have caused quite a ruckus on Wolfenstein forums, even people with consoles are experiencing similar issues. It's a shame too because after getting to play New Order for several hours it's a damn good game that I would love to actually get to finish. I'd be livid I'd paid the full 60 bucks for it but since I got it on sale for 10 I'm more disappointed that I won't get to see the rest of the story play out if I can't get past this one spot which causes the game to freeze.
As for FO4, it's too early in the game to judge a lot of things but so far I'm very much enjoying it. Now off to the nexus to see what I can add.

I'm glad you were able to get it working! Now you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy never having a life again.

I've been playing FO3 and New Vegas so I was already there. I thought to myself when I got 4 that I'd just test it to see if it worked and then go back to 3 and NV. I couldn't have been more wrong
What makes it worse is that I'd been intentionally avoiding completing the other two because I was afraid I couldn't play 4. (Hell, I've intentionally made Skyrim last well over 200 hrs without completing it -- I love side quests and mod quests). I realize now that I'll go back to 3 and NV when I finish 4 (I've gotten more than enough backstory to feel comfortable with 4).
So question for those of you farther into the game than me.... Is power armor all but a requirement early on? I'm asking because I really don't like wearing it but it seems I'm getting killed at an outrageous rate (yes I even turned the difficulty down - same result). I love the game but the difficulty, and I grew up when games were difficult, reminds me of old schools games where you got killed every five minutes.
It doesn't seem that the enemies scale to your level very well (at least not early on) and the weapons so far aren't impressive although I do love the crafting bench.
If the mod kit were out I could fix this by upping the DR/DT for armor I want to wear but that's not really an option.

Power armor isn't necessary for 90% of the game. It's only really required when certain main quests in the later half of the game require you to enter high radiation areas.
As to the level of the enemies, do you require over 10 hits to kill a non-legendary? If so, you might be in a high level area.
Most of the time, I find the main cause of my deaths isn't high level enemies. Its the enemies of my level or lower that kill me because I don't know how to kill them quickly. For example, early on I kept getting killed by Bloatflies as they are extremely fast, and they love to swarm and flank. I keep missing them and lose track of them only to be attacked from behind. By the time I turn around, they're gone and another bloatfly is attacking my rear again. After learning to carry a good pistol and use VATS to target them, they were no longer a problem. I also learn the hard way that if a mutant is running towards me with a ticking bomb sound. either shoot it down real quick or RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.
