“You are now idolized by the Legion, ncr, enclave, railroad, institute, Mr. House, The minuteman, the master and mutant army, republic of Dave, and every faction in the whole fallout series.”
Even BOS?
@@Ivan8 The west BOS at least
the Republic of Dave will outlast them all!
"You are now idolized by every faction, city, and even the damn deathclaws"
minutemen dont hate brotherhood and ncr can work with them.
Also, in 3, I like how they immediately blame you instead of assuming the Enclave had some kind of "just in case" retaliatory attack up their sleeve.
Right like they just know it was you that called down the orbital strike and ya know not the Enclave personal at the Mobile Base Crawler whom the BoS is attacking at the moment, that are ya know in charge of the Orbital Defense Platform. It's not like The Enclave don't know where there base is and it was already demonstrated they could call down strikes when needed via Primes destruction during the outpost assault earlier. I love Fallout 3. Not my 1st Fallout, as I've been with it from the start but damn Bethesda needs better writers and fact checkers. At least it wasn't a walking tire fire and retcon the lore not giving a fuck and ignoring FO 1,2, NV, and there own F3 lore like they did with Fallout 4 and Fallout 76. They remained respectful enough to the previous lore established in prior games in FO3. Still though shit like this is stupid and immersion breaking.
Bethesda's writing in action
I love that the dude is just stood there, cross armed, and has the flattest delivery of "kill him", like he's ordering pizza or something. Just "Yeah, him, I guess, probably did it. Just... I dunno, shoot him? Whatever."

Does not matter how many times you will destroy the Brotherhood of Steel, they will appear in the next game anyway.
True. If the Institute ending is the canonical ending to Fallout 4 as many speculate, I can’t see how Bethesda will bring the BoS back in Fo5 unless the game is set on the west coast.

Funny that Bethesda thinks that the BoS is a big faction.

That's because the DC branch of the BoS recruits outsider humans, unlike the West Coast branch that shoot or enslave outsiders on sight.

Fun fact: all the main Fallout factions hate the BoS
I wouldn’t say that the minutemen hate the BoS. They just think they’re sus

@@Jade0603 Destroyers Prydwen: [Preston Loved that], Ronnie: "They had it coming!"
Also, after you destroy the brotherhood with the Minutemen all of your setters will talk amount it for awhile and thank you for doing it. "I wanted to thank you for stopping the brotherhood. Arrogant bastards in their viritbirds thought they could do whatever they wanted." "I guess the brotherhood will think twice about messing around with the commonwealth again."
The Minutemen do hate the brotherhood, they see them as a foreign invading army. They just don't hate them enough to start a war unprovoked.
@@benk50000 It’s kind of complicated because the player is the leader of the minutemen, they can co-exist or fight.
@@benk50000Actually, it's a bit odd, in all the endings you end up destroying the BoS, but with the Minutemen, the only way to do it is to become enemies with them, which only involves killing some high-ranking member like a supervisor, the Gladius team, or Maxon. This means that you are actually the one provoking the war in that ending; the BoS doesn't do anything wrong, or at least it doesn't seem like they do apart from the optional mission with the farms. So theoretically, the genocide is on you if you decide to attack them as the Minutemen xD.
Fun fact on fallout nv I found the brotherhood because I was looking through my map and was gonna fast travel to hidden valley bunker when I noticed it said I was neutral there after some exploring I found the brotherhood to my surprise
Another fun story I accidentally blew up the citadel cause I just pressed the first option on the computer and had no idea until I landed I was way confused when I lost karma
@@nickel_nicky33 That's what I call a steady string of good luck, my friend!
I started a new Fallout 3 game, got some weapons, went to Megaton and went to find the Alien Blaster. When I was really close to it, some Talon company mercenaries appeared and attacked me. I killed them all but one, that escaped. I didn't care about it and just went to grab the Blaster. But I couldn't find it, just its ammunition; then, all of a sudden, I'm killed by a blue shot. I made a quick save after that one mercenary ran off, so I reloaded to see what happened. Went there again and it was gone again, then someone killed me. At this point it was obvious that someone else got it, so I try to find it and in my 2nd or 3rd attempt I see him. That one mercenary that ran off had the Blaster on his hip. I was laughing at this, it had me really impressed.
@@jesalt8230 that is actually a crazy story I’ve never heard something quite like it haha!
@@bradenthornton3095 I haven't heard nor seem something like that before either, I wish that I had recorded it. At least it is a good memory I have from Fallout 3, one of many though.
That 6% chance Fat Man headshot was a work of art.
Always thought it was odd how the Brotherhood just assumed it was you. Wouldve been cool had you gotten the option of a speech check to convince them it was the Enclave at the last second. Guess that would've been too nuanced
Do you remember how Fallout 3's speech mechanic worked?
Dont ever want more from bethesda than what they can do

It doesn't even make sense story wise. You just slaughtered the Enclave, and have been fighting them this whole time, why would you betray the BoS? It's just random.

@@takablepigon9686 actually the pitt choices are both evil , siding with the slaves is as eveil as siding with the slavers, if u side with the slaves u kill the raiders and ashur u help the slaves , but werhner just wanted to have more power he didnt care about the slaves , and also the slaves dont know scinece and they wont be able to develop the cure from the baby , then if u side with the slavers is better because they know how to develop the cure and ashur said that he would made pitt a better place after that , and he is a man of word because when you fought in the hole he promised u to not be a slave anymore .
@@blazedcheese Hmmm. Mabye you are right, it I don't think the slaves are nesecary as much of the evil choice. They are less experienced, yes, but maybe they can found out about the Lyons chapter of the BOS, they have the technology nesecary to develop the vaccine, and in exchange, they probably just ask to deliver water to a settlement.

All these deaths... brings a smile to my face. They truly are a “dead end”

6:33 Does the BoS call all its HQs "Citadel"?? because it seems to me that it is difficult to manage in terms of logistics after a while.
fortunately for them, the player can help them to manage by reducing the number of citadels present.
I was surprised to hear that. I've actually never had this ending in Fallout 1, but to my knowledge, no other place in the game calls Lost Hills "The Citadel". Might be just a minor inconsistence during the game development - not entirely uncommon for games from that era.
@@100ethereals7 the reason why you might haven’t had this ending it’s because this was cut after an update

The funny thing is that we all know none of the factions we've been introduced to in the FO franchise are powerful. No. The TRUE power in the franchise is the player faction. We're the ones who shape the world and even have the power of time. We're like gods constantly creating alternate universes to steer the outcome down a different path. And tell other gods that their story didn't happen. Lol.
it's even more funny thing is that it has almost only been vault dwellers (expect in fallout nv, fallout 2 and fallout tactics) who has shaped the "world"
through the games
Im pretty sure in every game you are a vault dweller
@@uzmayasar8086 not in Fallout 2. Maybe in New Vegas, but that's not for sure.
In FO76 this logic is more obvious, the real powerfull faction are the seventy sixers (players) because every single faction need them to grow, and no one of those factions are exterminating others because some of the players support and protect them, making a neutral balance in the warfare.
@@uzmayasar8086 it’s uncertain in fallout nv, but probably not, as doc mitchell gave you a pip boy and you didn’t have one yourself

I definitely think every game should’ve had an option to destroy every faction by ourselves, no surviving people, the only factions that remand are the lone wanderer, the sole survivor, the chosen one, and the vault dweller
NV has it, you can pretty much become your own faction with Yes Man
@@integralcialbay4633 y do you think I made the comment? Nv was the only game that truly let you destroy every faction and still end the game (I don’t know if that’s true for 1 or 2)

In Fallout 3 there is on extra bonus for destroying the BOS. Callahan's Magnum.
I'm sure the guy blaped by that mini nuke let out a swift "WHAT THE-"
I always wanted to help the Brotherhood push out the NCR and flatten Caesar's legion in New Vegas. Kinda sad I couldn't do that.
IMO, if any game was the perfect game for the BoS to have a ridiculous but undeniable foothold, it would be NV. Perhaps the Courier, with their years of experience in the wastes, could convince them that hoarding tech is useless unless it benefits the rest of humanity.
Benjamin Oechsli NV's BOS being weak is honestly the most logical conclusion for the faction. They dont farm, they dont invent, they dont recruit and they dont make friends; all they do is take and hide, and it only makes sense that the NCR would double decker ding dong dunk on them for being obnoxious. They also lost the only intelligent Elder they've ever had so lol get dunked.
Higher tech gear only gets you so far, just look at the US's campaign in Vietnam or USSR's campaign in Afghanistan
@@uberd3323 Hear, hear! And the NCR can no doubt put the tech and knowledge they've hoarded to good use helping their citizens in the Mojave and beyond.
That's why I'm glad there's a faction like the BoS around; it's one of the best ways to preserve the best parts of Old World society until society is rebuilt enough to benefit from it.
Which is now.
West Coast Brotherhood are a bunch of dumbasses. Why make war with the NCR, a nation that is larger and as advanced as you are?

Uses a variety of pre-war stealth and pulse technology to ambush and disable power armoured troops, taking the holotag of any brotherhood soldier they kill as a trophy.
Someone’s probably said it somewhere- but a speech check after being accused to be a traitor at the end of Broken Steel would’ve been neat. Even if it’s blatant that you did the East Coast chapter dirty

You can destroy the Citadel for yourself, but not for the Enclave... So psychopathy+genocide is more acceptable than patriotism+genocide.
The Lyons Chapter certainly didn’t deserve to be destroyed out of all them, but god if it doesn’t feel good to destroy the Citadel. “Pride cometh before the fall”
That’ll show you for making fun of my level 8 character when they first meet at GNR Studios.
for the enclave!
*you are now idolized by the Enclave.*
lets be real, enclave would have won in Fallout 3, Superior technology, superior firepower, far more tactical training. and all the means and knowledge to use existing governmental structures to their advantage. meanwhile brotherhood is relying on old world tech that's likely going to explode in their hands or catch fire because of ancient wiring and unstable energy sources.
also, I forgot air support. VTOL gunships > Zeppelins. just saying.
BoS has the best infantry training.
Enclave would have won in Fallout 2, but the player happened
The minutemen version of BoS destruction is the most fun imo.
Oorah, soldier. Oorah.
For the government, for the Enclave!
Its weird, the New Vegas chapter could have survived. Instead if trying to kill the courier, they could have simple ran for the exit.
Also they could have simply removed the self destruct terminal... all that science and they not even gonna use it.
I hate the Brother Hood more for its wasted potential then anything else. Imagine if they had a plan, they went into places with the intent of gathering up all the weapons that would destroy any hope of that location rebuilding and killing all the non-human hostile life. They would be easy to feel sympathy for then the way they're currently written if that was their goal. Their self stylized crusade would be worthy of supporting, remove the danger to humanity, and protect it from a distance without getting involved. That's a heroic and honorable way of life. As is it, they're snobbish scavengers who essentially larp around the ruins of the country making life harder for everyone they meet while maintaining a 'holier then thou' mentality.
Only the east coast are kinda sympathetic but they are the exception and not the rule but even then they don't have any real plan other than gun down the enclave and give free safe water to all. Honestly I wish tactics was canon as they are without a doubt my favorite take on the brotherhood with them realizing that their isolationist policy would lead to ruin forcing them to create a symbiotic relationship with the willing tribals, they defend the tribals and the tribals gives them the means to grow and sustain their ranks.
The amount of stimpaks he used holy shit
Enclave for ever
When you come out of the BoS bunker in NV I've already laid mines. As soon as they go red they get dead. You can lay unlimited mines, satchel charges etc. Plus you can plant C4 in pockets without raising alarm.
