Forum:Don't kill off the Brother Hood

I don't care what you trolls think, I love the BOS even with all their flaws, I mean the NCR are a bunch of corrupt land grabbers, the Legion I think you already know whats wrong with them, so I don't care if the Brother Hood are just a mislead, paranoid, tech-obsessed "moles" sadly I know the Brother Hood will lose but I just hope the High Elder gets some sense knocked into him, he'll surrender although chances are that won't happen. I guess all I can put my faith into now are the Capitol Wasteland Brother Hood, I just hope Lyons hits the death bed early so, someone smart enough can take over, though when they run out of supplies (I'm not sure but demonstrated in FONV you were able make ammunition with empty cases, and re-cycle used energy weapon cells) the new Elder whoever it is could try to make more ammunition for guns by salvaging scrap metal (pretty much every where)but where would these be assembled? Well, they could easily use an old building in DC. But, wait! theres more! the super mutant threat, the only good sign so far has been in Vault 87 when a mutant says "Were running out the green stuff, AAAARRGGG PUNY HUMAN DIE!" wait, forget that last bit but any ways there you go so in the end I just hope the BOS survive.

Okay, two things, formatting paragraphs is your friend, and secondly, The Brotherhood aren't going anywhere. As much as FO3 Fucked them up a bit by portraying them as Saviours of the wasteland, They, and their reclusive behaviour are a big part of Fallout.

The brotherhood will probably always be just "That annoying faction" in most canon fallouts, showing their hoarding reclusiveness which the player character can either save, or destroy. 5t3v0 23:30, February 11, 2011 (UTC)

SergeantDornan: How did Fallout 3 "fuck up the brotherhood?" I mean, they made it VERY clear that Elder Lyons was NOT representative of the normal BoS out west. They made many references to him "going native" and if you take the time to talk to the outcasts, it becomes even MORE evident that the BoS is very different from Lyon's chapter of the organization. It makes the Fallout residents seem more real and not one-dimensional when you see people taking a stand for what they believe in, rather than simply blindly following a leader. It adds depth to the story, AND it was insinuated that Lyons was not the first elder to "go native." So I don't see your problem with the BoS in Fallout 3. The Outcasts are representative of the "real" brotherhood, Lyons "went native." What more is there to say?

I do think the Brotherhood is missunderstood. Yes they are very recluse, and have problems, but think about how life in the wasteland would be without them. Just ANYONE scavenging very dangerous technology would NOT be good for society.

The reason why I said that Fo3 fucked them up a bit (a bit, not, say, Fallout PoS level. Yes that typ was on purpose) is that now everyone believes that the BoS main goal IS to save the wasteland. I do think that it was a good idea to have a different perspective now, I was being a bit negative earlier I do admit, but the fact that they are misunderstood in that regard really got to me. I dont think they made it clear enough to be honest.

I think just reading about how both fallouts with BoS in the title and portrayed them in a similar manner has rubbed off negatively on me. Also, the ignorance of some players... it does some terrible things to ones sanity... 5t3v0 07:07, February 15, 2011 (UTC)
