What faction are you most allied with?

No, they dont have the right to take people's sh!t just as Batman doesnt have the right to do what he does. He breaks into people's homes and does detective work without a warrant and he bugs people's phones without a warrant and then also uses excessive force to get people to talk so sh!t happens.


That's right. The Brotherhood of Steel is Batman with energy weapons.

Maybe the Brotherhood did a favor for everyone. That and the Brotherhood confiscated energy weapons off of NCR caravans, that's why you never see NCR troops with energy weapons.

If the Brotherhood didn't confiscate those weapons, the NCR could march straight through the Legion to Chicago and decimate the Enclave. Making the NCR the sole corrupt oppressive super power in North America.

Or maybe not. Look just admit that the Brotherhood have no long-term goal and are an obselete organisation that no longer has any purpose or has lost is honestly along the way; there's really no problem with it. If Andronicus started telling me that the Enclave was a good and just organisation he'd be in-front of a court-marshall before the evening was out.

No long-term plan? Well they want to be able to survive the post-apocalyptic world as its strongest survivor, that's actually their main goal so yes they have a long term plan.

Obsolete? Their doctrine was practically fabricated on the basis of a post-apocalyptic world.

No purpose, honesty? They have a purpose, it just doesn't involve going around grabbing land and killing people for absolutely no reason. Honesty? They are noble to their cause and to each other as brothers and sisters in arms.

Given that they appear to be a dying breed. I'd say job not-well-done.

I don't think the NCR goes around grabbing land just for "the Lulz". Their goals are every bit as viable as the Brotherhoods.

I'll give it to the NCR though, at least they don't whine and stamp their foot when they don't get a shiny piece of tech.

Then stop with all the purity and honesty crap, comparing them to Batman as people who go above the law for justice. They mug people for guns, please tell me how them blowing up the NCR gold reserves bringing economic collapse on a whole civilisation is justifyable? Oh the NCR GOVERNMENT is corrupt so I guess it's okay.

Being high-tech raiders... I guess your right.

They have no long-term purpose, collct guns to get stronger to collect more guns; how does that improve anything? As for the latter, so does the NCR and the Enclave, President Richardson was willing to martyr himself for the Project because he thought that his people and the human race would be better off.

And here I though this was going to turn into a Legion vs NCR thread....

Oh well might as well throw my two cents in, at least the Enclave has a actual plan for the future, the Brotherhood is so hell bent on keeping to their codex that even some of their own leaders will admit that it'll be the death of them., so they're fighting and dieing with no end or greater goal in mind. Not to say I agree with the Enclave, because I dont, but they do at least have something they're shooting towards.

Pretty cool right?

I will however say that The Enclave is far more awesome than the BoS. I mean, the last remains of pre-war U.S. government Vs. A bunch of d-bags in shiny armor who wants all the purrrdy lasers rifles for themselves? Blah.

It's about controlling technology so it cant destroy us again. There's an honor to it. We're protecting people, even if it's from themselves. It's a good cause.

Yeah, they really look like they're doing a good job :thumbsup:

You might find that tougher than you think. If you do, I'll go to my reward knowing that I died a patriot and a servant of humanity. - President Richardson


There. Guess the Enclave were really the good guys doing everything to protect the human race. If the Enclave believes it then it must be true.

You haven't proved anything; again, instead of hiding why don't you tell me how blowing up caravans is honoureable. Cass describes what the Van Graffs did to the Caravans in Heartaches by the number as "Brotherhood level murder." Where is the honour in that? Where is the honour for the dead Followers of the Apocalypse.

EDIT: Got another one.

Guess that Caesar really is the son of Mars then :P

You have yet to answer directly any of the points we brought up.

Hell you guys didn't even try to address the NCR Brotherhood War. Or how that fits into "We're protecting people, even if its from themselves".

If you ask me, the people the Brotherhood needs to protect people from is The Brotherhood.
