Literally made no sense that the Enclave had absolutely ZERO recruitment policy. You absolutely cannot conquer a lawless post-apocalyptic country the size of the United States that ALREADY HAS multiple fledgling and developing communities and nations. The Enclave expected to fight a long series of small and large scale wars over a few short years with completely limited manpower and no way to replenish casualties outside of the birth rates within their secretive shadow organization? Of all the factions that should be making first contact with and recruiting from the Vaults, it should be the Enclave as “the remnants of America’s government” considering it was they who contracted the things. America put its best and brightest inside giant steel bunkers to both develop skills to rebuild the nation, and to perform immoral experimentation and research. Those both sounds like things the Enclave would like to get their mitts on. Smart healthy patriots and evil research documentation.

Arthur's Brotherhood despises regular Ghouls for just being Ghouls, it's logical to assume that if BoS has its way and eradicates all super mutants, synths and ferals, they will turn on regular Ghouls and later maybe even regular humans with too much rads. Arthur's ideals are pure fascism and we know how that works.

I wouldnt go as far as equating the BoS in fallout 4 and the enclave. Sure the BoS were fascists but not as much as the Enclave. Since the BoS hating mutants and feral ghouls makes sense (and yes their fear of regular ghouls is unfounded but its understandable)

Man, Fallout 5 should have a system where, when fighting certain specific factions, instead of always dying in a firefight if you lose theres a roll-of-the-dice chance you wake up in that faction's slave quarters with a collar on and have to do a few missions to earn your freedom back, whether by force or disabling the collar and escaping.

Bravo! First video I've seen about the Enclave that mentions the Boston Bugle. SO much is revealed in that one article. BTW: The Boston Bugle had PLANNED to release the information about the whereabouts of the American president at the time, and Control Station Enclave, on October 23, 2077 (or maybe the 24th. I honestly can't remember. I'd have to go back and check). But basically, it can be inferred the Boston Bugle was monitored by the Enclave or even Vault-Tec, both of whom were working close together at that time, realized they were about to be exposed to the world and launched a rogue, American nuke at China, forcing the Communists to respond, then forcing the rest of the American military to re-retaliate against China, thus ending the world. Some believe it was Vault-Tec (specifically, Braun) who launched the secret nuke themselves so they could initiate their sick experiments in the Vaults, but it was launched early, the reason why many Vaults were unfinished, for example Vault 88, by the war's start, and why the Vaults got an "Early Warning" ahead of the launch. Awesome video, regardless! ^_^

Im so glad I found your channel now I played FNV while I listen to the videos! Appreciate you making these cheers!!

[@popola9466]

Haven't even watched the video yet but already liking it. Already know this is gonna be an amazing interesting video!

Never forget the service and sacrifice of Peter Richardson. Honorable mentions to Conrad, Vulpe and Jackal.

Love your lore videos!! Keep it up man!

[@randomprofilelol]

gotta say man this has to be my favorite video if yours! im trying to get rly into the fallout lore and i love the format and sheer ammount of research you do in them all!!❤

Glad to hear it! 😁👍

I always loved the Enclave in Fallout 76 I went straight to the mission to start the Enclave Quest to become General

Showing how amazing you are, once again. You seriously deserve more subs. Your videos are wonderful. But, I maybe bias 😝 Thank you for all your hard work you've put you into this video for us 💜

Hey man, as someone who has been a fan of this series for 26 years, you knocked this out of the park. Well done.

[@derrickbusby3560]

Fantastic job sir. Love the content.

[@victorialocke4056]

Glad I found this channel. My first Fallout game was 4 and I had NO clue who the Enclave was nor the BoS. I didn't know who to join, who to stay away from. Nothing. Now I just need to find a BoS video

[@Pikilloification]

Poor thing, you've missed so much...

[@DarthWall275]

Hopefully you went back and played the better games (essentially all of them except maybe BoS)

[@scottishsenpai5089]

lets go ive been waiting on this for forever, thank you so much for making this amazing video

Loved the video keep up the awesome work!

[@fuoco1365]

I will say I'm happy the enclave have reappeared in fallout lore again. But I really hope they have changed some policies around in the years since their crippling. Feel like they would have to open up recruitment to wastelanders (maybe preferring vault dwellers and those with little mutations exposure) And possibly abandoning the all or nothing idea of wiping out all life exposed to radiation.

[@last_dutch_hero258]

You know, i would live to see some lore on Appalachia. Fallout 76 has surprisingly good lore!

[@TheGeekBox]

Enjoyed this. Great story telling man!

[@Callsign_Kishin]

I just finished season 1 of fallout on Amazon prime, and it makes sense now. In the first episode, the news broadcast says “the president’s whereabouts are currently unknown.” Meaning, the president was in hiding, and in Control Station Enclave.

[@colesherman9060]

Great job on the video man. God bless the Enclave!

[@randomperson-qj1oq]

i absolutely adore how radical most of the groups are, it makes complete sense considering what happened before and after the nukes.

This is absolutely amazing my dude. I'm over here listening to it like it's a history podcast lolololll

[@203167EBP]

@Synonymous I think you've finally pieced it all together man. The fact that the Enclave keeps ending up on the same train of thought might be because of that eldrich God that's been mentioned sporadically in FO3 and 4. The one you made a video on, I was always torn on whether the aliens pushed the trigger or we did but with the introduction of supernatural pressures the latter seems much more likely. Ever since I watched your video I don't look at ghouls the same way anymore lol keep up the great work

[@miguelgonsalves6161]

Hey which video is that? I never heard if an elder god in fallout

[@colddaze6680]

@@miguelgonsalves6161 Fallout lore to do with Dunwhich, supernatural links etc. Relates to Obadiah Blackhall from F.3, Point Lookout . Asks you to retrieve Krivbeknih book, has supernatural powers, like book from original Evil Dead . All ties in with Dunwhich building from F.3, and Dunwhich Borers in F.4. Which if you swim down to end of a well ,you can retrieve a sacrificial sword from an altar. The eye , that is visible from a giant statue at bottom of same well, is from the buried statue of an elder God, the sword on the altar at bottom of same well in centre of Dunwhich Borers . The same sword that was used to make human sacrifices for the elder God hundreds of years pre war, etc.

[@Jolis_Parsec]

The Enclave AKA the bane of Fallout: The Frontier’s dev team since they shouldn’t have needlessly antagonized folks who wanted to join the Enclave lest it turn around and bite them in the keister like they wound up doing.

[@QuietGuitaristfan]

Enclave: *has highly trained squads that rarely come across anything they can't handle. One pip-boy wearing Vault kid: "And I took that personally."

[@IcepersonYT]

I feel like practically every Fallout protagonist is secretly a superhuman and they or others have no idea. They come walking out of vaults or waking up suffering traumatic injuries to immediately pick up the most available weapons and then destroy every enemy in their way just to spite God.

[@Medinaxz]

Small little bit, Horrigan dying doesn't trigger the nuclear explosion that destroys the Oil Rig. It's something you do by either arming it yourself or strong arming one of the scientists in to doing while you're there rescuing everyone and getting the GECK. But still, I would love to see more of the Enclave in later installments since they have bases and such around the continental US.

[@Synonymous101]

I must have mispoke. What I meant to say is that while Frank Horrigan is dying, he activates the oil rigs self-destruct mechanism in a last ditch effort to kill the chosen one. Sorry for any confusion.

Always liked the Enclave. Their role in Fallout 2 and 3, as well as the lore surrounding them, makes them an intriguing enemy faction in my opinion
