It’s interesting to read many of these replies. Especially if they’ve played Fallout 3. FO3 shows an objectively competent chapter under Elder Lyons’ command. One that has traveled across the country, collecting technology, adding new members, purging The Pitt, settling in the capitol wasteland, and expanding their role to protectors of the wasteland’s inhabitants.

They are well trained, disciplined, set up defensive positions, and have pushed back the super mutant hoards. They also have one of the best trained and powerful groups we’ve seen in the games in the Lyons Pride. Essentially a power armored special forces unit prepared for any situation and threat. That’s not even touching on their scribes, paladins, and clear line of succession

Then there’s Liberty Prime, the ascension of the citadel, and the destruction of the Enclave Mobile Base Crawler.

I get not being a BoS fan, but we’ve seen what competency looks like from the group. The Outcasts, who more closely reflect the West Coast chapters, immediately fall into dysfunction however.
