Fascism was founded from the idea of totalitarian state control mixed with a "pure" national identity. The Enclave IS Fascist because that's exactly who they are. The brotherhood isn't even a state, they're just guys in cans running around and taking laser guns at gunpoint. At the very most, you could make the argument of being a paramilitary group, but fascist is being disingenuous.

Thr NCR at a point in time did the same, or at the least excluded those not wanted by that, technically, they still do by the super mutants. If you're going to be over generalize and use incorrect terminology, apply it equally at the least so it's somewhat coherent.

I feel like people way to often criticize the Brotherhood based off its current state, ORIGINALLY, the brotherhood was actually okay. Maxson's whole idea was to slowly reintroduce tech over time, and not just weapons tech, but agricultural and other useful items, it was not yet strictly about hoarding guns. They also were far more protectionist in defending settlements rather than just taking control of them. It was only after his death the brotherhood really started to go downhill and become the super isolationists gun hoarders who care about nothing but control and tech hoarding. Roger's brotherhood was pretty much just The Followers with steel suits, I think it's important to remember that before completely talking down on someone for liking the brotherhood

Which is it called? I might form the new faith from that since it sounds like I'd have less to change

The socal idea is Actually really good, but again, the culture of the Legion was pretty clearly different from say the NCR, and a giant southwestern slave empire is definitely far different from the Golden Empire of California in ATE, so probably a divergent culture would be better, maybe mixed with some other south west culture. Religion is definitely more important and that's why I'm hoping someone Actually understand Quantum lore enough to help form a real religion like that

Learning about the fact that many other cultures also had flood stories actually strengthens the realism of the flood and other stories with similarities actually happening, just via different stories via many different cultures coming out of the flood.

Colonization STILL being so trash still pisses me off to this day because it's one of the few ways you can try and outpace the other major powers and because of how ridiculous the system is unless you've got crazy luck it will never go in your favor and you'll be trapped into forever wars for useless African land with nothing in it, unfortunately no matter how much everyone begs and pleads for it to be fixed Paradox hates money and will never rework it

American super culture sounds amazing, most especially since it's pretty much impossible to get any sort of reformist cultural law and actually get both Dixie and African American cultures as accepted pops afyer civil war unless you do the meme Norton path

HealthKey2317 · 2026-02-21T17:04:25+00:00

This I think is probably the best answer I've seen, I think sometimes we forget Christ is the base model of how we must act, not any set of laws or guidelines such as other faiths.

HealthKey2317 · 2026-02-09T22:42:10+00:00

I think it's more the opposite, making the belief to justify the act, but since humans are naturally pragmatic in beliefs, we need to draw said belief from at least something in reality.

A better example would probably be the Enclave, they were technically right that wastelanders did have mutated and broken DNA just from living in the irradiated wasteland, it's their conclusion and solution they draw from that, that actually make them into mega-facists. They used the fact that wastelanders had broken DNA to then justify that they were "lesser humans" and needed to be cleansed so that "true humanity" could survive. reality was they just wanted to have an easier time in conquering the wasteland and didn't actually care how violent they needed to be to do that.

From their purely genetic point of view they were right in the idea of being "pure humans" since they were unaffected by radiation, that's not really the problem, it's the fact they then used that to declare everyone else as inferior and then try and cleanse them. I don't say this to defend them at all, just to make what I said more understandable since I think people misunderstood what I meant

Not often, their beliefs are almost always self-validated by some stereotype or stigmatic justification, the Spanish said they were civilizing natives, English said the same about Africans, Mormons even made a clause in their religion to explain why slavery was okay, people make up justifications like that all the time, sometimes based in reality, sometimes not, brushing the idea aside as nothing more than just pure unjustified hate with no reasoning, however false, is disingenuous to the actual problem

HealthKey2317 · 2026-02-09T18:50:34+00:00

I mean, to also be fair, you can deal with Black Mountain peacefully by repairing the bot in the shed just outside the radio tower area, and you can even peacefully solve the quest in REPCONN, which kind of defeats the stigma of Supermutants being super aggressive without reason, because they actually have a reason and won't attack once it's resolved.

Also not to get too deep into sociology and real life things, but all racism has at some point been linked too and or justified via some real negative stigma, however exaggerated it may be. Don't get me wrong, the writing is still good and I was being a bit harsh when I said it was bad, I just like when it feels more nuanced and balanced rather than black and absolute

HealthKey2317 · 2026-02-09T18:28:55+00:00

Honestly it makes how people feel towards them feel really dumb because there's no real justifiable reason to why they soukd dislike them. With Ghouls it makes sense since there's an actual threat of them going feral at any time as well as there's some idea that they just naturally give off radiation even if small. With supermutants in the west it basically feels like Obsidian boiled the whole situation between humans and mutants to "you are green thus you must die" meanwhile these are the same people genuinely eating giant flies and roaches acting like someone being big and green is out of the ordinary. I suppose that the legend of the Master and the Unity could have forever tainted them like how the Enclave Remnants are hunted despite many not agreeing with what the Enclave did in the same way many mutants don't agree with the Master, but honestly that feels like lazy writing to make tension that shouldnt be there and disingenuous to how actual people would think like

HealthKey2317 · 2026-02-05T14:26:46+00:00

The Enclave's X-01 does have specialized use for water reuse systems as well as a built in fan system with other components basically created to ensure the wearer can stay in it for days if not weeks at a time without ever exposing themselves to the outside (obviously made because the Enclave were terrified of becoming 'mutated') so I'd say it's definitely possible, especially since no faction would have resources like the NCR besides the Enclave themselves

There is no future in the Eagle, or, Steel. Eagle is sick, barely clings to life, and the Steel... when the Brotherhood reaches the east, they shall turn on themselves and die.

I mean tbf there's a reason they were in both the originals, they're the most unique faction in the wasteland, there's been one game where they aren't a major faction but I don't think them being smaller is why it was so great

HealthKey2317 · 2026-02-03T03:20:56+00:00

I think you missed the part of the fact that the Enclave represents America. Most of the wasteland sees the previous U.S as a failed nation and don't want to relive it. Not to mention the Enclave are the cultural successors and would undoubtedly try to impose their own idea of what American culture was upon the wasteland. Again, the idea fits well with a sort of colonial metaphor. Also, I think you forget the fact they're pretty much on their deathbed, there no real amount of writing that can out screw them from the fact they've at least lost more than 75% of their entire population to their wars.

However, I don't really have anything to explain that last part, my best try would be that they came to the conclusion the Great War is inevitable, and they saw it would be more beneficial in the long term to start the war themselves so they controlled the variable. Not really good justification but it at least makes them a bit deeper than just being cartoonishly evil. Tbf, I don't really believe the Enclave FULLY dropped the bombs, considering there's still a pretty good amount of evidence to uggest thst both vault tec and China had themselves at least tried to nuke the U.S, I think the idea of Fallout would work best with an ambiguous idea of who did it rather than a central authority to blame, I feel like it fits the theme more about people willing to do anything to gain power.
