The kid's excitement over the BoS's arrival honestly takes me back to my first time playing Fallout 3. I was nine when I got it and it was my first Fallout game. Upon witnessing the BoS soldier in the intro, and even on the game's cover, I was stoked. I got even more excited when I realized that I could join them and fight alongside them.

For all its faults 76 gave them a few bad retcons, but also one that is very underappreciated. The OG Maxon wanted the Brotherhood to help people, and recruit the capable to the cause, it being his son and many other jaded elders deciding to make the codex "Don't let them in, don't help them" felt much more appropriate considering that at its core the BOS is about saving humanity, some days that means keeping dangerous tech out of raider hands and others that means fighting to repair a mass water purifier so the locals have a chance at rebuilding. Some people say the "knightly hero" thing is cliche, but you know what with all the monsters and sins of humanity running around, a little hope and heroism go a long way. Ad Victorium brothers.

After playing about a thousand hours on F76 and diving deep into the BoS lore in the game. I actually didn't see any real retcons against established lore. All they did was add into a area of lore that was truthfully blank because we only know the bare basics of the BoS and what they were doing till the player first meets them well over a hundred years after the bombs dropped. There is a whole lot that can be done with the early days of the BoS.

i always hated how people pretend that the institue didnt make all the super mutants in boston , and that virgil is the reason why they exsist ,or pretend as if synths are not a race of people that was made to kill and replace their family and freinds is annoying or the fact that the brotherhood has never attacked non feral ghouls.

[@TurKlack]

Why do you hate this? Like really the whole kidnappings make no sense. At least the random ones. The Super Mutants also make no sense. Bethesda just wants them in their Fallout Games at all costs even if there's no reason to do so. Fallout 76 only highlights that issue to the extreme. All the "evil" the Institute has done only really shows just how incompetent Bethesda is in Worldbuilding and Story telling. Because I bet my soul that Child Shaun is the Player Characters actual child, until some Bethesda Waste-of-Genetics decided the Plot doesn't have a big "Plot Twist" and turned *the old man* into your actual child and then had to rearrange the story with second hand explanations why Kellog didn't age. Also, part of the reason why I will always choose the Institute is this: I imagine the post ending of Fallout 4. I don't care what they supposed to have done according to the Bethesda writers. I become it's Leader, without a catch. "Father" is dead and he has already proven that he could outvote the other Scientists so the PC can do so as well. Plus the PC is one of Fallouts God like entities. The Androids are created, they are my tools with which to change the world. All this "They have rights" bullshit is nothing but a nuisance, since they are just the next step in a larger plan. And last thing: The Institute is the technologically most advanced post war Faction. their tech is not just limited to Androids. They have clean water, food and medical supplies. With those and the help of the Minutemen, which just to happen to be the PC's other Army, rebuilding Boston the way the Player/ I see fit is the only real outcome.

@@InitialPC I'm not sure that brotherhood is really interested about any place that doesn't possess any potential besides fortification.

[@thenickdor9126]

@@Enterprise6126 yeah, that's pretty much true, but there's a couple of things that must be pointed out: First, Brotherhood is NOT a millitary organization. They're millitaristic, true, but it's not the same. Descendants of the US Army locked themselves in the bunker for a good hundred years before they started their small-scale ground operations. In that bunker, they probably didn't develop any new tactics, because their main idea is to "preserve", not develop. There are little to none new technologies or devices that Brotherhood invented or created from the scratch. They're probably studying old army tactical guides, but how much of it would apply to the post-apocalyptic scenarios? And the second, Eastern Brotherhood is clearly arrogant enough to believe that they wouldn't be attacked in their doorstep. In the Fallout 3 we saw how swiftly and precisely Enclave won over most of the Capital Wasteland basically because Brotherhood didn't expected anyone to match or even surpass their technological level. They're yet again locked themselves up in the Citadel and then unleashed literally Deus Ex Machina that helped them win and of course they brought it to the Commonwealth with them to try that trick again. When you're extorting food from farmers or play point-and-shoot with the feral ghouls, there's not much need of the advanced millitary tactics that includes backup bases, logistical chains etc. Both Eastern and Western Brotherhood share a bad habit of underestimating their enemies. Because of that, Western Chapter almost got destroyed by the NCR, so it's logical to assume that Eastern Brotherhood won't be suddenly using far more sophisticated combat and ground operations tactics.

You make good points, but if you are speaking without player control, then the institute would wipe the brotherhood. 1. The institute would have the beryllium agitator way before the brotherhood shows up. The only reason they wait is because the father wants the player to grab it to prove themselves to the institute. 2. You may say, how would the institute deactivate the magnetic field? They would use kellog (or a courser) who is arguably the most capable man in the commonwealth. 3. The institute would only grow in power. Even if the bos fully invade the commonwealth to avenge their fallen elder, they would just lose the war of attrition because they would have no way of getting to the institute. So the bos would just continue to take casualty after causality until they admit defeat and run home to the capital wasteland

[@ZeonicFenrir]

There's two approaches to this topic, and in neither one I see the BoS winning in the Commonwealth: if we consider what happens when taking the Sole Survivor out of the equation, and if we consider what happens when we do consider the Sole Survivor's potential involvement. The later is far more subjective, since he can side with any of the 4 factions, potentially destroying both the Institute and the BoS, in the same play-through too, so I think the former can give us a more objective view of how things would work more strictly by the merits of each faction. -In the such scenario Kellogg would must likely fill the role of the Sole Survivor and complete the tasks the Institute needs for them, while the BoS would miss on key aspects such as getting data straight from the Institute (network scanner holotype) or having access to Dr Li (Professor Scara can be a substitute, but again, without the SS the BoS would already be lagging behind in the reconstruction of Liberty Prime). -There's also the case of the Battle of Bunker Hill, where if the SS notified the RR and BoS of the mission, he will be friendly to all parties fighting out. If at that point you decide to just watch how the battle turns out, the Institute will always win, due to the courser leading the attack, which again gives us a good idea of how things play out without the SS in the equation. -With their nuclear reactor online, the Institute would get a huge advantage, since any restriction previously in place due to energy concerns would now be void. While not reflected in the game, we are told that this would translate into free usage of the molecular relay (previously restricted due to high energy cost), but more importantly, in the option to increase synth production or focus on improved weapon development. Within the Institute we see that at one point they were also working on developing better plasma weapons (Experiment 18-A), so that seems like a good educated guess on where the weapon option would have led. There are also some weird points you make, such as "air superiority": are you suggesting that air transportation is better than teleportation? Or that being able to shot enemies from a Vertibird is more advantageous than being able to teleport to any kind of hard to reach locations to shoot enemies from. Not to mention that the Vertibirds themselves can be quite the "fragile" target that can take out its entire crew with it when running into a location with lots of hostiles, even if lightly armed. On matters such as training, I think the Institute also wins since any improvement on combat tactics can be simply given to the synths of all generations as updates (we are told through the terminals at Robotics that one such software upgrade is given to 3rd gen synths to improve their gun accuracy across the board). Not to mention that when you actually look into it, many of the BoS soldiers aren't even using Power Armor, but combat armor, if not something lesser such as scribe armor, making them easy pickings. But the BoS biggest weakness is the Prydwen, which is such a vulnerable target, either form the outside with artillery, if not a powerful energy weapons like Liberty Prime's head laser, not to mention the possibility of boarding it and blowing it form the inside. Making matters worse is that the Prydwen is already at risk of being forced to land due to a insufficient coolant reserves, making it a sitting duck at its location at the airport, one where when shot down, takes down the rest of the BoS forces on the airport with it. In fact, the airport is left in such a terrible state, that after the end of the main game, the brotherhood remnants will wipe out the gunners at Vault 75 and use it as their new base of operations. Lastly, if the BoS losses the Prydwen, Maxson and even liberty Prime, I doubt the BoS at the Capital Wasteland would be able to scrape resources to launch another offensive anywhere close in equipment and personnel to Maxson's, not to mention that any successor's to Maxson may see the later's failure (and the costs of that failure) as sign that his way was wrong and may even try to backpedal to Lyons way of doing things instead. We also have the example of the Mojave chapter that after facing a terrible defeat went instead into hiding, so even a supporter of Maxson might simply chose not to try to face the enemy that took their elder and their greatest military assets with their now signifcantly diminished forces. And by that time they may be able to do so, the Institute would have further grown in power by no longer being limited by their energy supplies, nor needing act from the shadows, while earning popular support by helping preserve order with synths guarding the checkpoints.

[@hopefulfox7773]

This a pretty great speculation, well done, Tbh when I think Canon wise on the faction the Sole Survivor pick, it would have to be the Minutemen

[@SpadeDraco]

Realistically the Institute absolutely stomps the Brotherhood. Liberty Prime never gets off the ground without Sole Survivor intervention. The Prydwen can support like 8-10 Vertibirds at most, and they're a non-renewable resource with the institute being one of the few factions that's readily capable of shooting them down. We know from the Danse subplot that the Institute has already infiltrated the brotherhood and likely has all of the strategic info they do.

this is intersting but i beleve the bos would win, most of the weakness in brotherhood of steel in game are more game mechanics than lore if you want a more accurate depiction of how fighting the bos would go download some assembly aquired its more lore like of how power armor is next point teleportation is clearly not that usful since they cant just teleport to the room with the berillium agitator after finding out where it is and the bos in fallout 4 have tech that cancels out the institutes ability to teleport in the airport or the fact that a minigun and missle on the vertibird will out gun anything the institute have, and like i said earlier vertibirds are weak for gameplay reasons not in lore. about training simulations of combat will never be as good as in person experience which the brother hood have and the institute only have data of wastelanders and gunners who are clearly not that trained well by the fact bos also can wipe them out at mass fusion, the brotherhood vets actually already faced a far more advance foe tho mostly with help with the wanderer they defeated, also their is no way the bos left washigton with the majority of their forces you can infer that more brother hood of steel soldiers show up after they arrive throught the game by the fact that you see far more verti birds ingame then when you first see them arrive. also by playing the insitute story you see that the brotherhood only needs SS for the berylium agitator which the institute also needs sos in order to get it. so the question is who gets the berylium agitator in mass fusion the only thing the institute have over the brotherhood of steel are coursers which at first seem like a insta win, but then you realize in universe where a courser can react faster than a man , have programed tactics would mean a insta kill headshot which is insanly deadly, but five star paladins in power armor would be protected and experienced enough to take down a courser which i remind you the institue dont have a lot of. coursers are deadly but its not like theyre bullet proof more like they need less time to head shot somebody which power armor would protect you from another thing kellog is not equal to SS vergil state that a courser isnt too much of a leap from kellog which states that kellog is weaker, and the fact that courser where not sent to get vergil instead of kellogg means one of 2 things one, they are not good at tracking non bugged things liked escaped synths 2, they so few that a priority target like vergil couldnt be taking care of,

It would take the whole prydwen ship to fall on liberty prime to destroy it or concentrated artillery fire on one spot of liberty prime. Unfortunately for all factions to take the region you need hearts and minds. The minutemen has the hearts and mines of the people. They have artillery and constant supply of resources, recruits, participants, and each settlement is well defended. And most of all plot armour and the sole survivor. The minutemen cannot be destroyed in game nor ideologically. The brotherhood needs supplies from the settlements and they will take it by force. The prydwen is permanently stationed due to Manson rushing towards the commonwealth which fried lot of the components. The prydwen explosion can destroy liberty prime since the explosion is far greater than the tactical nukes. Power armour and advanced weaponry and training is good and all but remember they’re fighting on someone else turf who knows they’re way around and the wasteland shape them. So basically lot of organised ambushes and skirmishes. Besides without appropriate leadership no faction can survive ( the prydwen destruction will kill maxson and lancer captainskells ). The minutemen heldout against the gunners who had military training, advanced weapons,armor, outnumbered, outgunned them. Yet they held out without reinforcements and were only defeated by one traitor who gave them access to the bridge. They know they’re weak hence why they’re smart. They always solve their problems head on and finish one go. A raider gang causing problems. Wipe them out. Institute being disrupting settlement prosperity by raiding and damaging infrastructure. Blow up their reactor. They exploit weaknesses. They’re weakness is that they spread themselves way too thin. Especially when they’re rebuilding. The new table top rpg called winter of atom ( very well written and ties lot of problems fans had with fallout 4 lore and immersion ) released by Bethesda and Modiphus explains that lot of people died, some went outside of the commonwealth and some joined the cult or raiders to survive the winter ( a snowy winter. It hadn’t snowed for 200 years they weren’t prepared for it ). In short I believed the minutemen gonna win for hearts and minds and that they have territorial and regional advantage they can always rebuild. Plus those artillery hurt like those orbital tactical nukes from 3 if not more. Those shredded throw power armour and can take down the prydwen which takes down liberty prime patrolling or stationary.

[@tzimiscelord8483]

​​@@patrickiamonfire965 this only works if you decide to add the sole survivor into the equation on the minutemens side. Without the sole survivor, Preston would have had to lead a couple of civilians through a horde of Raiders and a deathclaw solo. With lack of sole survivor involvement, I'd give it to the brotherhood of steel. Best case scenario they don't have to lift a finger because the minutemen don't even exist by the time they arrive, worst case scenario they have to circle strafe a couple of settlements with vertibirds and then go get a beer by 8:00.

True without Sole survivor the minutemen rebuilding hard and long but not impossible. I will agree with your statement without the sole survivor involvement the brotherhood would have succeed exceept they wouldn't be able to find the institute Who would use espionage and guerilla tactics with high sucee. Liberty Prime would have been very delayed because of that Dr. They would have never found out about teleportation nor the location because of Kellog memories. They wouldn't have those generators preventing teleportation due to not knowing about it through rumors or through the contraption the sole survivor made.

Until the PC dies and nobody want to take over or everyone wants to take over causing a power struggle that brought them down the first time. Not to mention Nora is a lawyer I’m sure she gets the gist of military logistics but not as in depth of Nate big to small she would probably make some critical decisions similar to Preston. Preston isn’t a viable leader either he’s the reason only a handful of people survived one massive example is moving on Lexington without any recon element prior to leading to the deaths of several and the last stand you find them in. Ronnie shaw has no interest in leading so she’s off the table. Sturges would be a good tech advisor but wouldn’t make much of a leader of the MM and shows no interest. You could say the PC mentors someone to take his place however that totalitarian at its root and goes against the MM ideas which brings me to my next point who’s to say the MM don’t turn coat and go raider it happened at liberatlia it happend at Quincy it’s bound to happen again most people think it’s the good choice because of the choices they make but those choices give the MM more power to be abused in summary the MM are doomed regardless of your choice the BH is the only sustainable option

[@nonamex6536]

Against the returning Enclave the New Brotherhood a mix of the old that survived like lost hills and the new who changed to adapt and survive a changed world may be the only ones who can stop them. Over half of the Us military would be in over 50 country's. Spread out with better technology and more forces. Many would be safe from the war. The Enclave planning well before the war would take in these trapped and isolated forces, annex and survive. The main Enclave force would be over 90% of the Enclave. The more radical and die hard being cut off on the oil rigg with a very small military. If we look at real life bases and ally's of the US before the timelines diverged the Enclave is a very real still and a very powerful threat. The numbers being possibly greater then the Brotherhood and heavy troops of the crumbling NCR combined. The technology would have some surprises but be greatly inferior to the isolated small faction of scientist, politicians and figure heads on the Oil Rig. using technology only just above what the Brotherhood has because of maintenance and limitations of weaponry found outside the major powers. We also are not even considering how that could all be true but with the main force of the Enclave being in annexed Canada, reaching out and taking in what trapped and isolated forces it can from numerous cut off bases around the World.

[@mappingshaman5280]

I get the impression that fallout USA basically lost all its allies through a combination of committing actions so heinous nobody wanted to ally them and their allies just flat out getting themselves destroyed (the european commonwealth fighting the middle east).

Ahh, the Railroad. So misguided, helping synthetics masquerading as humans escape to infiltrate humanity, to debase it, to defile it. I remember keenly the day me and the boys descended on it. I'd infiltrated earlier, found the entrances, exits, appraised the strengths and weaknesses. We mined the secret exit and went in the main entrance full on. Full power armor, grenades, flame units, and all the righteous fury we could muster. The clatter of small arms against power armor is a thing to experience, as is the terror in the eyes of these machine hugging terrorists. We cleansed that place, lobbing grenades ahead of us to smash their formations and burst ear drums, then went in stitching the area with mini-gun fire and liquid napalm. Those that ran rushed into the mined exit. The few who made it out met my brothers waiting, and were gunned down on the spot. No more infiltrators of man will go through that rat cellar. The stench of burning flesh is not just something you get used to, but something you begin to associate with victory. Ad Victoriam!

Its sad that Bethesda chose to ignore the events of Fallout 1 and 2, the decline of the Brotherhood, and instead made them a centerpiece in their botched quasi-reboot of Fallout in the East Coast

[@dragooons176]

It's because of Fallout tactics, the most often forgotten about fallout game that focused on the BoS, and had them use airships to go much farther east than the Colorado river. It put the brotherhood as a encroaching ever east mega force that became progressively splintered. It basically paved the way and made it a very expected situation for the BoS to appear more and more eastwards and as a ever so slightly different organization. Making ironically how they are in 3 a fault that can't be blamed on Bethesda and instead just a snowball that was already rolling. To pound it home more... You played as the BoS, you WERE the BoS, and this was all pre Bethesda taking over the franchise.

Wonder how this chapter of the Brotherhood would fare against the NCR

[@WickedMapping]

If the confrontation was in 2287, I could see either one winning. However, by the time of a realistic war between them, I think the NCR would be able to take the advantage. They'd likely be much larger and have more control over their territory, and begin to adopt ultra-modern technology in large amounts. However, just like the NCR-Brotherhood War, the NCR has the advantage of manpower. The Brotherhood always has and always will rely on a relatively small force of ultra-elite high tech units, which while 1 for 1 would make easy work of any NCR unit, even a ranger, would never happen, just based on manpower differences. Basically, the NCR is a nation, and the BOS is an army. Armies don't win wars, nations do, at least in modern times.

[@northboundw5248]

Let’s not forget that the east coast BoS looks great simply because the entire east coast seems like it’s populated with borderline slug-people who can’t figure out the most basic aspects of civilisation and organisation after 200+ years.

[@bastiangaete2419]

​@@WickedMappingIthink the BOS here they have the advantage and even. Ore if it is a defensive warfare. Also unlike western BOS that they traded with independent settlements now we have BOS settlements loyal to them and an industry to back up their war efforts. Not only that but they have a larger manpower pool they have a far veteran pool to use them as instructors. In a defensive war the BOS can use their heavy equipment to their advantage as the power armor brings more defense and the vertibirds will allow to form quick reaction forces to reinforce their position and provide fire support from the air.

I know Oxhorn did a video ages ago stating how the BoS is "Evil" but i beg to differ, because during my playthrough of Fallout 4 with the BoS, alot of the settlers after the BoS wins, actually start to like them, because the BoS actually go out their way to destroy mutants and other dangers during their patrols which make the roads/routes alot safer for normal folk. Plus if i remember rightly, the Minutemen are always alive in every playthrough no matter what other faction you choose, i've seen many peoples comments, saying the Minutemen would act as some kind of police force dealing with minor things whilst the BoS deals with destroying major threats such as mutants and feral ghouls...i hope whenever theirs a Fallout 5 that arthur maxson is alive or at least he has a daughter or son of his own to carry on with the Brotherhood, it'd be nice to see the BoS go back to its roots.

Then all the Institute needs to do is send a Courser with Danse's recall code, surreptitiously snatch him, reprogram him to be an Institute double agent, then have him sabotage the Prydwyn and/or Liberty Prime from within. In fact, if there was no Nate/Nora to grab that data for the BoS, they'd be blissfully unaware that Danse is aa synth - right up until he reprograms Liberty Prime to designate the Prydwyn as a Communist threat and attack it.
