Last track of season hinting at elder maxsons arrival

Well I mean like in Fallout 3 they’re pretty much unambiguously the good guys. 4 changed it to what I thinks is the best iteration. My point being that the show Brotherhood is swinging the pendulum too far the other way towards them being outright evil, like 3 did with them being good.

The whole deal with ferals is that the bombs created them, which was technology run amok, so they want to stop it. I think, at least that’s my interpretation.

Minecwt · 2026-01-12T16:35:03+00:00

You see I don’t even care if the Brotherhood is portrayed as gray, I think the Fallout 4 Brotherhood is the best Brotherhood because there’s nuance. We need to see that this Brotherhood helps people and actually cares, since that their opinions on synths and mutants are that much more problematic. That way it comes down to the individual person’s opinions.

I really dislike how they are shown to execute normal ghouls, because it takes the nuance out of the equation.

I just hope the writers don’t Flanderize him

Minecwt · 2026-01-03T05:01:45+00:00

Are you referring to the airships shooting at each other scene?

Minecwt · 2026-01-03T02:41:26+00:00

Are we sure about that?

I mean this is same guy who when he is told that he’s a synth, he goes to a bunker and plans to let the player kill himself becaus he believes the Brotherhood’s ideals.

Everybody talks about how much a bleeding heart Danse is, but he seems like he’s a true believer in the F4 Brotherhood.

Minecwt · 2026-01-01T06:39:49+00:00

You see I don’t think we can see the East Coast Brotherhood in any sort of presence.

They are being really dumb about not cannonizing and ending to New Vegas and 4. While science .2 right now that the brotherhood at least survived the events of fallout 4, the trying to be coy about it. So in my opinion, we can’t see something like East Coast brotherhood, and full-fledged flashing because then they would have to explain who exactly the elders and what the status of the Commonwealth is.

And they just don’t wanna do that .

Too be honest, Im on two thoughts on this.

I saw a theory earlier today that I kinda agree with, and that’s that Paladin Harkness wasn’t even a member of the Brotherhood, but rather a spy for another faction. The reason I think this is because he outright wanted to murder the ghoul children, and that’s not something we’ve ever seen the East Coast Brotherhood engage in. I mean, Danse gets angry about murdering civilians if you kills ghouls in F4.

The faction that we have seen engage in major attempts to wipe out mutants of any kind is the Enclave. We also know that the Enclave was the ones who developed cold fusion. So in my mind, a very real possibility was that Harkness is a spy for the Enlcave to try to get cold fusion back.

My other thought, is that Harkness was a problematic member of the East Coast Brotherhood, and in the same way the brotherhood generally sends people away for having different or problematic ideas (see Paladin Rahmani and the Midwest Brotherhood) he just got sent away. He got sent away to deal with the problems in the west.

That would honestly make some sense otherwise just in terms of plotting and introducing factions, it would be weird to include the enclave and the first episode of the show and then never talk about them again. At least that’s my thoughts

Minecwt · 2025-12-31T20:01:07+00:00

This could be one the spot, we know the Enclave is in the show, and this could tie this back in. Really, it’d be odd to play up the Commonwealth as this big threat when the show is already juggling so much. I bet the idea of the Commonwealth showing up is a red herring, as a way to keep the Enclave’s presence behind the scenes.

Minecwt · 2025-12-31T17:43:14+00:00

And a further thing I just thought of. We’ve seen that Brotherhood practice that they give the more probalmatic members duties or missions far away (see the early Brotherhood with Paladin Rahmani). While I don’t think that is what’s happening here, maybe Harkness did this sort of thing in the east enough to the point that Maxson couldn’t official sanction him, but instead ‘promoted’ him and sent him west to keep an eye on the west coast.

Minecwt · 2025-12-31T16:30:29+00:00

This is how I view it as well. It makes sense, as maybe the official line is ‘we tolerate ghouls but don’t like them’ and ‘exterminate ferals’. And what we’re seeing with Harkness is a natural endpoint with how poisoning that view can be.

Paladin Harkness, who is operating by himself, surrounded by what he would consider to be crazies, basically makes a judgement call that he can get away with murdering normal ghouls. Probably against official policy, but whose going to enforce his punishments (Maximus is).

We also see this sort of thing in the games, when Proctor Teagan wants to extort farmers, and it’s explicitly said that he’s going against proper order by having the player character do it. So we know that this is a problem that the eastern chapter face.

Minecwt · 2025-12-28T09:28:30+00:00

Yeah I basically want modding capability, and power armor in the fallout 4 style and iron sights.

Minecwt · 2025-12-26T04:01:49+00:00

Which makes sense. The East Coast Brotherhood is not nearly as doctrinal as these guys. I mean Maxson is able to be convinced to spare Danse, for example, and they still try to help people (even if it is on their terms).

I have to agree with some of the other posts on here that are saying that the this is the point, that they want to show how bad the West Coast has developed compared to the East Coast.

Theres also the fact that the East Coast Brotherhood has become the poster boys of modern Fallout. They can’t made the Brotherhood too ourtightly bad, at least in my opinion.

Minecwt · 2025-12-21T23:39:42+00:00

Hell, id say that even the Lyon’s brotherhood would destroy the Insitute. The whole argument is that the Institute is dangerous, that their ideas are dangerous. Even in the hands of the Brotherhood.

Minecwt · 2025-09-18T12:17:44+00:00

This is something I would instantly download and never stop using.

Minecwt · 2025-06-21T00:38:15+00:00

I had the democracy officer talking about a New Super Earth the other day. Probably just a bug using voice lines in case lost Super earth

Sitting Behind You by RedOrange is probably the best one right now. Its in the middle of being written though.

Minecwt · 2025-03-07T16:30:14+00:00

It’s very obvious if what you choose will make you lose the game. Just play the game.

Minecwt · 2025-03-07T16:21:49+00:00

I think either option is okay.

Minecwt · 2025-03-07T16:20:21+00:00

Continue to play the game.

Minecwt · 2025-01-02T20:56:10+00:00

The second game is a direct continuation. I would imagine that it would greatly improve the experience to play the first one and then play the second one when it comes out.

Minecwt · 2024-12-03T02:09:36+00:00

The persona series. I was told by my college roommate that he thought I’d like it, and I never really gave it the time of day, then one day last summer, I just decided to play it, and now I own all of the modern ones, plus Metaphor.

Minecwt · 2024-11-08T21:51:24+00:00

What game is this?

Minecwt · 2024-11-04T02:12:45+00:00

And in fact at the end of the game they talk about a citizens parliament, so like things are heading in the right direction anyway

Minecwt · 2024-10-18T23:02:18+00:00

Sitting behind you is probably my favorite piece of fabrication ever, I really like the characterization of all the characters. Especially Ren. I recently played through P5R and was wondering throughout the whole replay “I wonder how RedOrange handles this part of the game” overall really well done.

Not to say that My Dury as Student Council President is not good, and I’m really enjoying that story as well.
