TheeChosenOne Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) I really enjoyed being with the BOS in FO3 but when FNV came out they made them look weak. Is it because there is not much presence of the BOS in the west or something else? Why weren't they a bigger faction in FNV?

Edgecution Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I thought it was explained very well in the game that the BOS (or at least the Mojave Chapter) was battered and beaten by the NCR and was on the verge of collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, BOS in the West is the "pure" one, meaning they do not accept new members, unlike the branch in DC area, now combine that with the huge NRC which the BOS was or is in war with... Basically this chapter in FNV is rather ruined by both the war and the slaughter at the Archimedes, just tryng to survive, rather than show presence.

TheeChosenOne Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 So there are different BOS factions? Strange, I did not know thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marharth Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Yes there is a difference. The one if FO3 was more of a outcast BOS. The one in FO3 decided to help people in the wasteland instead of sticking to the ideology of "take all of tech no matter what" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kieranbhoy Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Not different factions but chapters all following the same rules and name....except for the FO3 chapter as Marharth said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheeChosenOne Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Ah, I see. Im pretty sure I like the ideas of the FO3 BOS chapter, then the others. So this makes me sad learning that most of the BOS stick to the "Take all the technology" idea. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvinkun Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Well, funny thing, the "Outcasts" in FO3 were the actuall BOS (even tho they were bigger asses compared to your average "brother" :D ), while the BOS were the ones going astray, because they actually worked with the locals, accepted outsiders into ranks and actively meddled with "politics" in the area.But all in all, each chapter is a bit different, more friendly, more fanatical, more secluded, mosly depending on area and local Elder. Technically, the BOS in the West is more unfrendly, because of the war with NCR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
