Curse you and your plot holes!

There are probobly other chapters that have not been introduced yet though.

The devs have said they are fixing the bugged Follower & NCR Alliance ending in the upcoming patch, so that's a good ending for them.

Spoiler

"After the NCR's victory at the dam, in part thanks to Follower's medical support, NCR allowed the Followers to care for refugees as they see fit. Old Mormon Fort expanded its services and was able to aid more people, becoming a refuge for the less fortunate citizens of New Vegas. "

Oh, but the Capital Wasteland chapter's continued existence remains in question because at the end of Broken Steel you have the option of whiping them out.

I'm pretty sure that the canon ending is that the Lone Wanderer did not blow the Brotherhood up. Just like the canon ending for NV will probably be that the NCR won.

The BoS is disciplined and trained so would you want to have laser and plasma weapons that cant turn people to ash and goo in the hands of a reckless wastelander ?

Right, because a bunch of wastelanders with regular munitions are so much less dangerous. :rolleyes:

The fact that they've snapped, first at the NCR, and potentially at some Followers doesn't really say "disciplined" to me. It tells me that the Brotherhood is a danger and a liability.

Because they have been around longer, have the biggest guns, and I like the flavor of the faction. I don't like anyone encroaching on personal liberty, this is hypocritical. But dammit, I like the BOS.

They may have been around for a while, but they're dying. They refuse to change and adapt to the world that has been changing all around them, and it's cost them. And rather than do the decent thing and die quietly in their hole, they're set to make more problems in their death throes.

Oh, but the Capital Wasteland chapter's continued existence remains in question because at the end of Broken Steel you have the option of whiping them out.

I'm honestly doubtful Bethesda will make that the canon choice. Not only, so far, have the best outcomes in the Fallout series been the canonical ones, but that particular choice just oozes Chaotic Stupid. There's no reason any sane Lone Wanderer would actually do that.

As I've said many times, having the Lone Wanderer become Eden's obscure agent of death made no sense. What exactly was his motivation for carrying out genocide and whiping out the BoS? After you blow up the Citadel, there is no reward from the Enclave especially since you spent all that time fighting them. It was clearly a forced and half fast path they added to the game, so yea, the canon ending is most likely the one that actually makes sense and fits in better with the story.
