Background of Minutemen:



Members of the Minutemen are mostly volunteers, coming from the farms and towns of the Commonwealth. They give up their more peaceful lives of farming in favor of traveling around the region to "protect the people at a minute's notice." Though their numbers have dropped dramatically since the Quincy Massacre, small knots of Minutemen can still be seen throughout the Commonwealth today, shepherding traders and travelers through the dangerous country.

Should the Sole Survivor choose to complete the main questline in favor of the Minutemen, patrols across the Commonwealth will be a much more common sight, and with more numbers per patrol. Some patrols may have attack dogs. They will address the Sole Survivor as their leader and make brief comments regarding their travels.
