The Brotherhood of Steel is a fictional organization from the post-apocalypticFalloutvideo game franchise. The Brotherhood worships technology, but they are not known for sharing their knowledge, even if doing so would improve the quality of life among the people of the wasteland. The Brotherhood has five different types of members: initiates, knights, paladins, scribes, and elders, as well as a system of ranks. The Brotherhood is slow to act when it is not directly threatened, due to its bureaucracy and unwillingness to sacrifice lives or technology for others. In Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel, a schism formed in the Brotherhood, creating an Eastern order with looser regulations regarding acceptance of outsiders. This stood in opposition to the position of the Brotherhood from Fallout and Fallout 2. Some (including the developers of Fallout 3) consider Fallout Tactics to be non-canon, however.
The Brotherhood faction has been present in every Fallout game to date.[1] It has gained notoriety amongst players and critics for its recurring appearances, as well as its faction-specific storylines and heavy use of rare Power Armor.
Appearances[edit]
The Brotherhood in Fallout 3 protected the wastelanders of the Capitol from the super mutants and Enclave forces in addition to retrieving pre-war technology. When Arthur Maxson replaced Owen Lyons as Elder during the Fallout 4 era, the Brotherhood became less altruistic, and focused primarily on confiscating advanced technology.[2]
The Brotherhood are heavily featured in the Steel Dawn update to Fallout 76, as part of an expansion pack called Fractured Steel.[1] In that game, it is led by Paladin Leila Rahmani, who 'arrived from California' with her troops 'to establish a new Appalachian chapter'.[3]
Development[edit]
The Brotherhood was created by R. Scott Campbell, who stated that he 'simply wanted a group exactly like the monks from the Guardian Citadel in Wasteland'. He stated that he 'really wanted the player to be able to befriend and join up with this group (and grab all of their awesome gear, of course)'. He added that while 'this did make them similar to concepts in Gamma World and Warhammer 40K, he professed that he 'just loved the idea of high-tech knights in power-armor', calling their creation 'total fan service to me.'[4]
Reception[edit]
Patricia Hernandez of Kotaku called the Brotherhood in Fallout 4 'giant dicks', saying that she refrained from stealing until she met them. Saying that they are 'overzealous assholes' who 'just stormed into the Commonwealth, acting like they own the place', she also states that 'they feel that they are entitled to every significant piece of technology out in the wasteland'.[5] She criticizes their fictional ideology as not even 'making any sense', saying that while it is 'supposed to be about the preservation and protection of technology', 'their leader, Elder Maxson, takes this to mean that the Brotherhood must destroy all synths'. She also criticizes the fact that the player must destroy the Institute if they side with the Brotherhood despite their seemingly similar goals.[5] Citing the 'distasteful things they have you do during their faction quests', she singles out Proctor Teagan, who sends you on a 'revolting quest where you have to force farmers to give crops to the Brotherhood, regardless of whether or not they want to'.[5]
Brendan Lowry of Windows Central called the Brotherhood's quest line in Fallout 4 morally grey, saying that while 'The Minutemen are the 'good guys' [...] and the Institute are unquestionably evil', 'the Brotherhood is the only faction [...] that makes you critically think.' Saying that 'when the Brotherhood arrives in the Commonwealth, they make a promise to defend the people living there', things start to change later, and the Brotherhood 'shows its enemies no mercy' regardless of whether they are hostile. Lowry states that 'there's a strong argument to be made both for and against the Brotherhood's ideology'.[6]
Controversy arose among fans due to a retcon of the Brotherhood in the plot of Fallout 76. Despite established Fallout lore stating that 'first recorded activity from the Brotherhood of Steel was in California in the year 2134,' Fallout 76 establishes a Brotherhood presence 'in West Virginia in the year 2102', something that 'should be downright implausible if not impossible'.[7] Bethesda explained this discrepancy with the use of a 'functioning satellite' that allowed the Brotherhood of Steel to extend their reach to Appalachia.[8]
