[@prussiangermansoldier2987]

@@NerdZWastaken Enclave is probably hiding in the deep south imo Lots of military outposts there, lower population density and less large cities and it being on the east coast means it probably got nuked less so it's more fertile than most places in the US. You'd also be able to get to the gulf of Mexico easier where there'd probably be a few oil rigs they can either use to harvest small bits of oil or uses as bases. We've never been deep south before, nor has the brotherhood so it's likely they could be a major power in the area with their advance technology and military know how, plus the southern Americans likely would favor the old world government of the US more than anyone else as they would have a stronger sense of patriotism

[@raptorjesus3894]

I get the feeling that if there is a FO5 it will be ahead in time somewhat and the Minutemen will be a larger faction, allied with the NCR and there is probably going to be a bit of a fight between the BoS and the minutemen/NCR since the NCR have always been on shaky terms with the Brotherhood. I also get the feeling the Enclave might pull a few strings from the shadows.

[@tekelodoyo]

I'm down for that. As long as I can join the Enclave in the string-pulling.

[@ebikeengineer]

Travel is 6 hours in a jet, flying by a propeller powered aircraft would be much slower (i.e. max speed of a 757 is 610 mph [not counting tail wind], speed of an Osprey [the aircraft nearest to a vertibird] is only 351 mph). If their aircraft need fuel like ours the Vertibird will be stopping often for fuel, while jets can fly nonstop.

[@NerdZWastaken]

Great break down. I understand that at that particular point of scripting I was a bit lazy... I'll make sure to do better research when it comes to minor details! Thanks again.

[@jgonzalez5884]

but weren't vertibirds nuclear powered like most vehicles which could make them both faster and able to stay airborne longer

[@ebikeengineer]

We don't know how they were powered, sitting on a oil derrick implies they still used Petroleum. Even so using nuclear power just means you don't have to stop for fuel - but it does NOTHING to improve speed. Vertibirds use propellers, that is the limiting factor (Physics is a harsh master). So you have a prop driven VTOL craft with bad aerodynamics, unless you want to exhaust your crew they will be making at least one stop during the trip.

The Enclave was the best choice to capitol Wateland. They wanted to unify DC under the Enclave flag, by giving them purified water and erradicating super mutants, raiders, and ghouls, and they will lend people a safer future, under the protection of the most powerfull faction. Unlike the BOS, who gave the water for free. WTF?! So they spent mens, resources and energies in giving the water for free and don't even require help instead. Also the final battle doesn't make sense. Why did Lyons says " We've to take the purifier now bla bla" Why? to press the button first? Autumm didn't wanted to poisoning the water, as the President Eden told us, and when youre in their base, who does the troopers hear to? Exactly, Autumm. Maybe the BOS have good intencions, but not necessary the best ending. The Enclave aren't the bad guys only because the have "Black badass helmet"

[@rondudanur1203]

I would have loved an old Enclave base in Fallout 4, Imagine this, you stumble upon a high tech looking facility and there are raiders trying to get in, you clear them out and unlock the door then set down a ladder. You get to the bottom and there is a vault looking room and nothing else. Just a few cabinets and a desk chair and terminal. But there's a locked door on the other side of the room that won't open. If you come near the door you will hear faint talking and scratching. Accessing the terminal will uncover a diary of an enclave soldier hiding out after hearing of the destruction of the faction. The last entry describes him going to Chicago for help and reinforcements. So after you read all that the door finally opens and you are greeted by a group of Enclave soldiers which question your allegiances. Under no circumstances will they attack and you cannot attack them. So after you leave the bunker a few vertibirds will land and a few soldiers and none other than Arch Dornan will approach you. He will berate you for being out of power armor, then when your kitted out the will explain that they need intel to attack the brotherhood (if you are with the brotherhood they would give an extra objective to spy on them) the quest would be called "Long Forgotten" So the quest would consist of killing brotherhood and stealing documents, sabotaging operations, and recruiting non irradiated wastelanders to join. After that the real fun starts. A quest called "Purity" would be given right after that from a radio signal. It would task you with clearing out Diamond City, Quincy, Goodneighbor and finally recruiting the Institute to create an army of soldiers with synths. The radiant quests would be clearing out settlements and other stuff. The final quest would be called "taking it back" and you would have to destroy the prydwen, the railroad and convince the minutemen to join. Then there would be a cutscene showing thousands of vertibirds flying over the Commonwealth and the remaining brotherhood being killed. Then you get to interact with the enclave for the rest of the game, except you don’t get to take over the faction. I mean, bethesda already has a huge obsession with making the main character in fallout and elder scrolls take over whatever faction they stumble across.

[@forhonorknightminion9306]

Rondu Danur you wrote like the whole game plot if the enclave was in the game

[@LucyWest370]

So here’s my idea. Seargeant Dornan, and some other enclave guy, maybe Enclave Comms guy, are hanging out in their bunker. You kill the raiders and bust in the vault. The enclave think your a raider and are ready to make their last stand. Enclave Comms guy will pull his gun on you and if you act like a little crap head to him he opens fire and you lose the enclave quest. If you act politely to him he’ll patch you through to seargeant dornan. He’s wearing barely functioning Advanced power armor but he still has his iconic white helmet. He says ‘your one of us now. SO YOU ARE OUT OF UNIFORM SOLDIER.’ Maybe he sends you on a quest to retrieve enclave standard advanced power armor, which is hidden throughout a Locked portion of the base. You unlock it by hacking a terminal, and gain access to the armory. Basically the next portion of enclave questage is the enclave rebuilding. You get sent on tech retrieval radiant quests, occasionally you will be sent out to gather a found enclave remnant, after they return deargeant Dornan can go on many ear blistering rants for him going AWOL, you collect more weapons, you fix more armor, you recruit more wastelanders, until Dornan finally decides to strike. He sends you with a former member of Enclave Sigma Squad to go take the berkelium agitator from the brotherhood so they can’t power liberty prime. You also go through several other similar quests to the main ones just with an enclave twist. Sigma Squad guy can also become an enclave companion if that’s what you want, only less better than danse because of his lower armor and plasma rifle for lower dps. The beryllium agitator, with so much power in it, finally powers the lights and everything on the enclave hidey hole, getting their base to fill working order for a foreseeable 200 more years. This turns it into a settlement workshop and you can plant crops in the planters, get water from the nearby swamp river, and plant defenses. Dornan then says you need to kill the brotherhood. If you go with Dornan’s plan, basically you and all the other enclave run up to Boston Airport guns blazing trying to kill everything you can. If you talk him out of it you basically sabotage or destroy any brotherhood tech and blow up the blimp, resulting in a full raid of the compound by the brotherhood. They come in from multiple angles of the base after it was unburied, and basically kill everything. The laser turrets and whatnot fire upon the brotherhood enemy, and if you’re good, you can take them out, but if you’re not the brotherhood is tough. After this mission you get the mission sideline which basically means they want you to kill the railroad. You can plant bombs on the railroads base and blow up old north church, or do it Dornans way and just show up with enclave issue plasma rifle and kill everything in sight with your men. Same goes for the minutmen, if they are big enough to be a threat Dornan sends you to sanctuary or wherever the hell preston is to go shoot his face off. This is a great way for people to kill preston if they don’t like him. Then the final battle, killing the institute. This battle involves you sneaking through certain pipes like in the railroad version to get to the institute. Once in the enclave attack killing everything. It basically goes as every anti institute ending there is, but now Seargeant Dornan has pulse grenades that temporarily disable the synths. You run around in the background shutting down defenses and releasing synth gorillas. After this battle the enclave start building up into a more powerful faction, not a big one, but powerful enough to rule the commonwealth mostly with an iron fist and a lot of yelling.

[@AgentStone5]

How do you know we have dornan in cyro sleep

[@AuthorityCat]

Fallout 5, Chicago, Enclave's last base (on earth). NCR is moving east, Brotherhood is moving west. Ultimately, they meet in Chicago. Your character starts out in the middle with the Enclave, set up somewhere in the outskirts of the city, who, after many years, end up being quite decent compared to the bureaucratic NCR and the war hungry Brotherhood. Then add in the true Enclave up in the space station, dividing the Chicago remnants between two ideals, and you got yourself a cool fuckin story. Plus Chicago is a wasteland filled with some of the most horrible rad monsters in North America. Would make for an awesome endgame area, similar to The Divide but much larger. Of course this is probably too interesting for Bethesda to actually do.

Kyle Lopes as long as Todd is shafting the Fallout franchise for "muh season pass" and "muh spinoff app game microtransactions" and "muh convoluted settlement building" and "muh permissible mods for (abominable) console gay-mers", the Fallout franchise is doomed. Todd and the development team forgot that a bunch of shit, broken record marketing gimmicks that pander to micro&soft retards don't make a game (or any entertainment medium for that matter), an original and/or innovative story and its integral gameplay do, both of which FO4 lacks and FO3 has

[@SailwCaio]

I do agree that F04 is missing something that FO3 had, but so was New Vegas and when it comes to DLC, I think the FO series always played it straight, unlike most games who come out with named DLCs and extra content (that sometimes is even canon to the story), even at times when said content is already in the core game file but behind a paywall, FO always sold the season pass but never shoved it in your face. the settlement thing was kind of a hit and a miss, hardcore fallout players will know that the management of settlements is not a new thing, shit there's even a Fallout pen & paper RPGwhere they give you specific details on how to run a settlement. That being said, I did get upset when they raised their season pass price once they had settled on their DLC, but once I bought said DLCs (I've got Far Harbour, Nuka world and Automatron purchased individualy) I think it was good enough to be worth it. And I really don't care about Fallout Shelter's microtransactions, I mean there's people who spend money in candy crush, to you know, you do yours.

[@harpdedarpdooweee1107]

Kyle Lopes I agree. Additional content and world building has been integral in both of Bethesda's franchises. However, as of recent, whether by Zenimax's control or Bethesda softworks' sudden incompetence or both, all they've shown is a bunch of used car salesman marketing tactics that can only reasonably appeal to 12yo and sub-80 IQ xbone fanboys. No one can say that it's a complete surprise when Todd took over project directorship of FO4 and subsequently its marketing that everything went to complete shit; he should've stayed on the dev team where he belonged and in their dungeon and never let out.

Thanks friend! :)

[@straxxi33]

+Nerd-Z nice theory

[@darknightx33x81]

Good theory, pretty solid, except I believe the rocket engines in the Commonwealth wasn't the same model as the one in arc jet, and if the station didn't have power, it could of fell back to earth in those 200 years. That said, a moon base or Mars base is feasible depending on how much cargo they could get up with a rocket and if they built multiple rockets, the definitely had all the blueprints, it's just a matter of having the materials and production power.

[@saulgoodman5042]

You know why i hated the Enclave in FO3 ? Because it wasnt a playable faction , even when i told Colonel Autumn the code for the water purifier he just killed me. Brotherhood of idiots. GOD BLESS AMERICA , GOD BLESS THE ENCLAVE !

[@saren7283]

See things like that gap? its smart for fallouts story. Because much like halo in its early years they're more or less laying grounds for future lore. hinting at a bigger and bigger universe. (whether said grounds are taken advantage of or not by Bethesda we'll just have to see) The Enclave is without a doubt among one of my most favorited faction/organizations in gaming history and i personally just find it a tragedy thay HAVE to be this villain thats always going to get Raped by some godlike lone figure everytime given how advanced they are. They can still be done right and given love and i hope they'll recieve just that in future installments.

[@Chris-No-Handle-Available]

I refuse to believe that the scientists at Big MT are the smartest just because of them installing their brains on robots that doesn't have hands, that's pretty stupid. On a more serious note, I think the Institute is above the Big MT dudes in terms of smarts because teleportation alone and realistic synthetic shits trumps everything Big MT has ever done (Sierra Madre clouds, robo-scorpions, hazmat suits, lobotomites etc)

[@Thousandthsontzneechhater]

Chris S uh, buddy they did teleportation too i mean that's literally how you go too and from big mt also big deal the institute built robots with ai wait big mt did that first and instead of stealing personalities they created them from scratch they've also mastered genetic engineering e.g(cazadores,and nightstalkers) they also created the spore carriers and literally created sonic weaponry.

[@WhysoSeriousSamual]

Fallout 5... Cape Canaveral. We open to a scene of the oceans licking the beach with Old folks at home. The camera stays at ground level as we explore Miami and work our way to the old Cape Canaveral space port. Eyebots fly by and we observe a rocket being prepared... Just as the Choras begins (All the world is sad and dreary Everywhere I roam. O dear ones, how my heart grows weary, Far from the old folks at home.) Three Hellfire soldiers see the camera and bullets fly. The camara scans up and a giant metal boot stomps down on it and the the title flies up...

[@WarNvrChanges]

I think Bethesda left that mural of the space man on the moon for a reason. It’s likely that a future fallout will explore these moon bases which are highly likely to be Enclave bases.

[@Booski-cp1uo]

Surprised you don't have more subs, this is a great video and theory, I would've thought you would get a few thousand subs from this video.

[@icarmen]

I get this is partly *tongue in cheek* but one note: Vertiberds are established to be short range aircraft already explaining in lore why they can't be used for mass (or any) long distance travel and only short range missions from a fuel base. A few min later you do mention that they "set up refueling stations as they go" but this doesn't work based on well... physics haha. You can't carry enough fuel to refuel yourself :) I do not however think this breaks this theory tho, I would simply propose they found or had access to a cross country rail line, perhaps underground. It would "add lore" but is not outside the ability of the supposed power of the pre-war Enclave, especially if it was used for some time pre-war, as a secret way to travel for members or something. Think subway from the Mansion to the research lab in Resident Evil 1. :)

[@addman45]

Something I was hoping had more water to it was there was early fallout lore, and then the Nuka World DLC that both implied that the Enclave had a deal worked out with Vaultec to settle a new world entirely

[@NerdZWastaken]

Perhaps they are out there right now. Thriving on a different world!

[@xskywatcherx916]

To add to that i think there may be a connection to the Sole Survivor seeing as how he is ex-military and existed before the bombs fell. I did a build with the backstory that he is the sole survivor of the pre-war Enclave and indispensable to the space project. Hence why he is frozen for preservation. I can't wait to see how the Sole Survivor ties into the Enclave theory when Fallout 5 comes out.

[@straxxi33]

that's actually a good theory plus at the start of the game they mention "for your service in the military" or something like that

[@Human_G]

Oh god I hope not. Fallout 4 is like the "ugly step-child" when it comes to the Fallout franchise.

[@demonpride1975]

there is just one little issue with that. the enclave would never do that to their patriotic soldiers. they would never experiment on their own people. remember the vaults were set up as social experiments. with vault 0 being the enclave vault.

[@kuaisubzeroliang5820]

The sole survivor was just a rifleman, I’m pretty sure there was a mister gutsy near that crashed pirate ship with the rockets underneath in fallout 4that scans your character and mentions that you were in some sort of infantry battalion. So you were just some foot soldier; most likely one that was deployed to Canada and maybe anchorage as well but that’s it

[@GiganFTW]

If they did successfully go to space, would the Zetans not attack them? Actually now that I think about it, the Zetans aren't that tough and they'd probably stick to reconnaissance but still they'd eventually try to attack. What would be interesting is another space dlc for Fallout 5 (or part of the main game) featuring the reference to this with a space station filled with dead enclave and maybe some dead Zetans.

[@demonpride1975]

how are the zetans not tougher then a decrepit space station. the only way we beat the zetans in 3, was because we actually used a zetan mother ship. so they themselves are weak, but their tech is actually pretty damn good. considering the alien blaster is one of the strongest weapons in the game. besides fatmans. but shit doesn't actually explode in space. so nukes would be a waste in space.

[@thesexiestbiscuit]

well zetans themselves are weak, not sure they would destroy the space station itself.

[@NerdZWastaken]

Starfield is fallout 5! Confirmed

[@spenceho72]

I'm guessing the space station you mentioned is B.O.M.B-001 which was supposed to make an appearance in Van Buren? and even though Van Buren isn't considered canon, for the sake of time I would have to disagree that the enclave would be there, because as we know from the Van Buren wikia that the station was damaged severely... and I would imagine floating ambiantly in space for such a large portion of time would most likely mean that the state had sustained more damage causing it to be unusable... and even if it was usable I highly doubt the enclave would have been able to being enough material with them to repair the ship... so in my own conclusion I think we should all look to Zelot Richter as being a prime example that the Enclave is dead, or had abandoned a majority of its men and scattered elsewhere. what do you think?

[@NerdZWastaken]

Yes the station was damaged, but not beyond repair. The haul connecting the stations living area and the bridge was damaged sure, making it so a space walk was needed to get from one to the other. As for repairs there is the second B.O.M.B satellite that can be used. This is all going on the fact that The Archimedes satellite and the Bradly Hercules are both still in orbit and functioning enough to fire. And yes I am going off lore that has yet to be confirmed as cannon, but my point of the video wasn't a firm "this is what Bethesda is doing!" etc. It was to give a glimpse into what the future could have in store for us. The Wikia for the Station its self claims that the station is only slightly damaged. And as far as I can tell the Van Buren Wikia has no mention of the satellite being Severely damaged in fact it seems to suggest that its still fully operational. If it is beyond repair no biggie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's not like they aren't still on earth anyways. haha Van Buren Wikia: fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Van_Buren B.O.M.B Wikia: fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Van_Buren

This fits in line with the “Fallout: The Frontier” storyline. In Chapter 2 of the story, the NCR come under attack by Archimedes 2, and learn that the Enclave is still active, using Archimedes 2 as an orbital base. The mission of Chapter 3 is to assault Archimedes 2 and destroy the Enclave (preferably the station, as well. The Followers would LOVE that)
