Many quests in theFalloutfranchise, including those withinFallout 76, have players teaming up with particular factions, where they must make certain choices regarding NPCs. This is especially true when it comes to the Brotherhood of Steel, as two Brotherhood knights,Paladin Ramahni and Knight Shin turn to the player to put a stop to their dispute by dragging them in the middle, demanding that they pick a side.
Players face this dilemma in the ‘Over and Out’ mainquest inFallout 76, which results in somewhat of a civil war between the Brotherhood of Steel faction. Due to its sensitivity, players are under pressure to make the right choices, but ultimately, there is only so much you can do in your involvement. Whether you choose Paladin Rahmani or Shin, you will obtain exceptional rewards worth the moral quandary.

‘Over And Out’ Quest Background
Brotherhood of Steel Mission
The ‘Over & Out’ questhas playersworking with the Brotherhood First Expeditionary Force, meaning that players must have joined their faction. You have been sent to re-establish connections with the Appalachian Brotherhood to unite theBrotherhood of Steel inFallout 76across the entirety of the United States.
The quest officially begins when Scribe Valdez is asked to meet with Knight Shin and Paladan Rahmani in the command centre. Here, she explains to you and the Knights that she has found a way to make contact with Lost Hills and the Elder Council.
Eventually, you and your team receive a signal, potentially leading you to contact the Brotherhood members in California. You are thensent to investigate the signal and locate the transmitter, which you’re able to follow visually in the walkthrough provided byNaked Vault Dwelleron YouTube.
Upon your and theBrotherhood of Steel’s arrivalwhen investigating, you will eventually meet up with Paladin Rahmani and Shin, who complete the mission by activating the transmitter.
At this point, players are ordered by Rahmani to install the Ultracite battery in a power console, within a secluded chamber. To install it, players must first speak to Shin, which is when things begin to go pair-shaped leading to several obstacles that make this quest somewhat challenging to continue.
Shin confides in the player, confessing thathe doesn’t believe that Paladin Rahmani has the right intentionsor best interest regarding the Brotherhood of Steel, to which his loyalty is bound. Upon checking up on Paladin Rahmani as requested by Shin, Rahmani also confides in the player, revealing that she is reluctant to establish communications with the West, doubting the Brotherhood’s decisions.
She also reveals to the player that one of her plans failed due to an incident that occurred, in which Knight Shin took the failure extremely hard. The incident involved a settlement being destroyed, after Rahmani’s Expeditionary Force used recovered Hellstorm missile launchers to arm a civilian militia, in order to defend the settlement fromraiders inFallout, which ended up backfiring.
Due to this devastating mishap, Ramhani worries that Shin would expose this failure to the Elders, which would lead to them denouncing the Expeditionary Force and stripping it of its titles. Instead,Paladin Rahmani wishes to take full leadershipof her unique faction of the Brotherhood of Steel, to prevent the tenuous foundation they have established from being wiped out.
With Rahmani’s plans, among her willingness to make commitments withfactions inFallout 76outside the Brotherhood, to Knight Shin’s dismay,Shin believes that Paladin Rahmani should be tried for war crimesupon returning to Lost Hills. However, this only gives Rahmani more reason not to return.
Should You Side With Paladin Rahmani or Shin?
None Of Your Choices Matter
During this indirect confrontation between the Brotherhood Knights,players have one of three choices to makewithin the dialogue options when speaking to Paladin Rahmani in the final segment of the ‘Over and Out’ quest:

For those who may be fond of bothNPCs inFallout 76and don’t want to be caught in the middle, you can always select the third option. Players who are heavily invested in the narrative and want to embrace the RPG experience should follow their gut, siding with whomever they have faith in.
The only thing that will change, is thereaction you get from the NPCs, specifically Paladin Rahmani, depending on which option you select:
Option 1
Choosing Paladin Rahmani
Paladin Rahmani will be happy with the player, seeing that things may go her way.
Option 3
