Why does everyone like the Brotherhood of Steel?

[bottom fragger]

I just read a "which faction?" thread and 60% of people said they loved the BOS.

I always thought they were personality lacking ♥♥♥♥♥♥bags who wanted to take everyones cool stuff away from them and had good armour.

Your opinion?

[^2Rayline [NOR]]

Agree with you on that Fishy.

I don't like the Brotherhood of Steel. Bloody bunch of stuckup techno hoarders!!!!

The most "modern" Fallout-Fans mean the Fo3-brotherhood. They are a bunch of withe knights of the roundtable and have nothing else to do than to run around D.C. all day, to save some wastelanders from the evil muties and the black wizard... eh, I mean the Enclave, so they are heroes! Oh Bethesda, why can't you hire some talented writers, why?!? Well the ORIGINAL brotherhood are a bunch of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. And I like it that way.

Mid-Western BoS are pretty neat, they have super mutants and deathclaws among their ranks. And sherman tanks.

As someone above said, a lot of people probably mean they like the BoS in 3, not the actual hard-line BoS. It's a bit of a vague one as there are 3 different BoS factions in the Fallout world.

The game that has the midwestern BOS is "Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel" and unlike the first two Fallout games it is squad based. And its canon status is up in the air (Bethesda pretty much just said they were there but not which ending is canon), there were multiple endings and each one was actually diffrent in how the Midwest BOS worked after the game, two where they treat mutants the same as humans, but in one racsim is a big crime, in another they opress everyone, humans and mutants and send them to work camps. The endings are based on the karma of the player.

There are some references to them in New Vegas, I think one of the Elder's makes reference to them 'going dark'. The canon is admittedly still dubious though, but not as bad as the console BoS game.

The whole ending thing can be said about any Fallout game, as each has multiple endings.

Eaah I hate them. Followers of the Apocalypse FTW

i love the brotherhood

[Nevander]

I've always loved them regardless, but I just wish they were more open to discussion. It's a shame you can't really make them 'good' in the eyes of anyone else. It's also a shame everyone wants them blown up. Haha poor BoS. :(

I wear power armor and blast folks with energy weapons, we make a good team

there is no reason to love something or someone

I think we all need to petition Bethesda to officially change the name of TES' Thieves Guild to this.
