Forum:People who want to join the enclave, there is a problem..

Ok, look, the Enclave are a major faction in the fallout universe. Therefor there must be some canon storyline, compared to the options you get at sidequests which dosen't affect the whole fallout world as a whole.

So.

If there were to be a DLC or something where you can join them and do the whole story another way, that means that the canon lore will be split into two kinds of "what if's". It's nice and all that you can do sidequests and even mainquests different ways, but do you think that these sidequests will affect the next fallouts story? No. But for something as major as the future of the enclave... If they(Bethesda) decided that the actual canon lore have them dying out for good this time, then they can't just change it just to please some people.

Think of it like this, In broken steel, we eradicate them, blow them to smitherines, kill them... And now, we add a new dlc were we help them get up on their feet and keep operational. Then what would become of Fallout 4, or 5, or Fallout:Whateverit'snamewillbe? That means that there has to be 2 completely different storylines for all of the future fallout releases since something has to be canon, and the universe has been split. And it won't work that way. It will fuck up the lore.

I for one think that the Enclave should be done for now, and not return in New Vegas or F4. Everybody need to remember that they shoulden't have returned in F3 in the first place.

So we need to have a linear canon ending for F381.234.140.17 12:54, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

No, it would turn out like Fallout 1, where you could choose to help the Master's army. If you did, it wasn't canon in Fallout 2. Broeman 20:13, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm no more a fan 'o' the Enclave than anyone else, but you gotta admit it gave us something more of a story line to follow and less of a scavenging/shooting but not much else FO3. I mean we could have asked for more Super Mutants, but at the end of the day who would have been the "villans"?!? The Muties? They can't even remember if they were men or women for chrissake! SOMEBODY had to try and stop project Purity or the game would have been very linear(and short). I for oen would like to see them return in FO4! Not only does it allow for a continuation but it's a good working storyline that turned out great for FO3. Plus, if the Enclave were to be done once and for all who would fill the void to make FO4 interesting? Would the BOS now implement some secret nefarious plan for world domination? Not likely. Point is that you need an intellegent adversary to act in the nemesis role. It helps story line and gameplay alike. I wouldn't go so far as to allow you to join them though. If you were able to be "recruited" by the Enclave than you'd be relegated to a minion role anyway. Just another trooper guarding the Jefferson Memorial type.

Ayea, I think I followed a guide on F1 and I sort of fucked up, so I ended up not finishing it, didn't know there were two endings, that kind of fucks up my whole point then. So here are some of my points, I've shortened my post down, it was 4 times this size.
 * Raven Rock, Navarro, Oil Rig, Adam Air-Base massacred or destroyed.
 * Therefor there can't be many enclave left seeing as they only want "pure" humans.
 * I'd want a Semi-canon Fallout game focusing on Enclave rather than a few quests after joining them in a F3 DLC.
 * It can't always be Brotherhood vs Enclave, some new faction needs to come in, othewise, it'll get repetative.
 * Remember that Enclave was new in F2.
 * They should think real hard and make some new iconic factions that would work in the next game.
 * Was Enclave even meant to be in Van Buren?
 * And in pure logic, would you hire some random dude who just killed tons of your men and wimen? Logic. 81.234.140.17 22:32, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

FUCK THE ENCLAVE. I'm getting bored of it as a major faction, just let it drop from the radar. Minor appearances or references, fine. ANOTHER game focusing on them? Please, it gets boring.

And yeah, it should be possible to join the Enclave, even in Fo3, they are the single most capable faction, one that actually has a chance of rebulding the United States, rather than perpetually screwing it over like the Fo3 BoS wants to.

Next, it's not inconceiveable - you should be able to join the Enclave, since your dad is a fucking retard. He doesn't know anything about the Enclave, but seemingly has a "Detect Alignment" spell which prompts him to blow Project Purity up for no reason at all. So yeah, I see no problem with us joining the Enclave. That Furry Bastard 22:49, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, how is non eradication of most of humanity retarded sir? Adding to that, what is wrong with fo3 BOS?--OfficerBlue 17:35, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

THE FUCK You guys??? Why ye want to join the shite old fags known to many as the Enclave? They are so annoying and their armor is so shite looking. I only want their damn laser rifles and plasma grenades etc.

I'm a small army type guy with a "fuck everyone else" kind of attitude and i only work with companions like Fawkes, Dogmeat or whoever. Who needs the BoS and the Enclave? Its all about the Irish Republican Brotherhood mann (psst they hav nothin t do with the fallout series).

I only work with the BoS cuz they have nice styled armor and they are good guys. I just want the caps mann. I mean i don't care if the Capitol Wasteland or the rest of America gets fixed somehow just as long as i hav good weapons, good looking armor, kick-ass companions and lots of muties and other things to kill.

The BoS are not as shite as the Enclave. In my opinion they aint shite at all. Its all in yer heads

So screw the Enclave. Screw them guys, i'm going home.
