President Eden: DO YOU REALLY THINK THIS IS ALL MY TROOPS THAT ARE JUST SO CONVENIENTLY PLACED IN THE BASE YOU DESTROYED? THINK VAULT DWELLER THINK!

I've always loved the enclave I just want to be able to side with them during the next single player fallout

Pretty sure the Texas Enclave is a thing, Chicago Enclave is confirmed to exist nonetheless. Finally the Enclave could be in space commanded by Colonel Autumn Senior; aka the Autumn we know and loves father.

Its so sad when poor writing is our best hope to see the Enclave again

What if the entire Island of greenland is an enclave command station

The enclave must have more bases as vertibirds only have a range of about 175 miles (oil rig to navarro) and California to dc is nearly 2000 so they had to refuel somewhere

At this point, I've had enough BOS. Bethesda, let us side with the Enclave in the next Fallout game.

The Enclave is a faction that could never be really said to be “done and gone” no matter what a single game claims. Just think of all the military sites, bunkers, black sites and various locations across all of the u.s, canada, and post reclamation of anchorage; Alaska territory as well as other offshore facilities and even space assets. Then the question of where all the families that have been raising the core population of all the Enclave military forces we encounter? Soldiers do not just spawn for a highly militarized dogmatic group they would need to be raised in a tight knit community that has standards of living and ideology that would justify viewing the general wastelanders as impure, backwards, lesser peoples.

Apparently, to what I heard, there were multiple divisions of the Enclave that planned to work together after surviving the Great War. However, communications failed and all the groups were left isolated in the post nuclear world. I think they could return since other sects may be laying lower and waiting, rather then be as aggressive as the groups in 2 and 3 were. Maybe there’s some other groups hiding in central U.S. or even Canada

*as to the main topic of your video, it's said in the lore that Autumn Sr. is a member of a contingent of the Enclave on a orbital Space station. Therefore he could be assisting in the operations in the Capital wastes.

Here would be an interesting scenario. A previously unknown Vault opens and openly identifies itself as Enclave. Due to 250 years of isolation (give it that extra 50 years from Fallout 3 so the Enclave is out of everyone's mind) Due to 250 years of isolation the Enclave Vault has had massive reforms, but their primary mission to rebuild America is still their primary mission. The Enclave attempts to contact the Rig, Raven Rock, and the Whitesprings bunker, and a few other Enclave Bunkers and safe houses. The first 3 remain silent, but the other locations respond and acknowledge the existence of the Vault. The Vault Enclave begin to build outside their Vault, and erecting safe zones out beyond the Vault. Due to the Vaul's isolation from the rest of the world, They don't know about the Rig or Raven Rock's destruction or why they were destroyed. However this Vault starts recruiting from locals and effectively starts rebuilding. The BOS learn of this faction Enclave of Enclave and immediately declare war, The Enclave and BOS fight an all out war over this new territory and eventually give up fighting because neither side really understands why they hate each other. but rather enter a period of cold war, and espionage against each other.

Bethesda understands that the Enclave is the most popular Faction in Fallout but they dont Do something about it.

I've always found it upsetting how Bethesda seems to actively hate on The Enclave nowadays as they've retconned most of the technology they created like the X-01 power armor

I feel that The Enclave would have been an interesting faction to explore in-detail, and to showcase why I think it would be, I will pose a question for you viewers: _"What if The Minutemen were actually a part of The Enclave?"_ A good bit of backstory to go by would be the events of the assault on the Jefferson Memorial: where the Brotherhood of Steel launches its assault on The Enclave's base over at Project: Purity in order to reclaim the water purifier. During the assault before heading into the control room the Lone Wanderer and their party runs into Colonel Augustus Autumn, the de-facto leader of the Enclave present in Washington D.C., and there are a few ways to deal with him: one of which most of us did is by just outright killing him. But there is the other options: one of which involves talking with Autumn and learning that their reasons for taking the Water Purifier was to solidify themselves as a political center for the Capital Wasteland and reclaim power and security in the region for the denizens: something that they have been preaching and talking about at length through Enclave Radio and through the posters that the Enclave have been putting up at various locations on Old World Billboards and walls promoting the Enclave. But then, that begs the question: "If the Enclave was being genuine about their motives on completing the Water Purifier for the greater good of the Wasteland, than why is it whenever random Wastelanders are always being attacked by Enclave soldiers when they are just walking past?" It has come to my attention that in all likelihood, The Enclave is divided into two camps in _Fallout 3:_ there are the members who are fiercely loyal to Colonel Autumn, and those who follow the orders of President John Henry Eden. It is likely that the soldiers that we end up fighting against for most of the game including the random Enclave Patrols we run across are actually those who are knowingly or unknowingly following the orders of John Henry Eden (He is a Computer: perhaps to muddy the waters President Eden plays back a recording of Colonel Autumn's voice as though it was him giving them orders over the radio to the Enclave soldiers in the field while simultaneously issuing them with a Gag Order to not share the reports back with the Colonel), and there is also the Plan that President Eden planned to use a modified strain of FEV in order to kill all of the wastelanders in a bid similar to the plan issued by President Dick Richardson back in _Fallout 2,_ a plan that Colonel Autumn did not want any part of or to even entertain doing when bringing it up with him. Presenting with this, he will stand down, realizing that President Eden had destroyed everything that he wanted to accomplish for the Enclave in the Capital Wasteland, tarnishing the message of peace through order and patriotism he was trying to spread to the denizens of the Capital Wasteland, resulting in him and his fellow soldiers to just walk away without any fight. The part where The Minutemen come into play is following the events of this peaceful option with Colonel Autumn: where he and his Enclave Loyalists leave behind the Capital Wasteland. It would be some time later that Colonel Autumn realizes that the Enclaves' philosophy is a self-destructive path for them due to their constant attempts at maintaining purity while time and again they are continuously wiped out by weaker factions that consequently have more numbers to throw at them because they present themselves as enemies to the people one way or another through the incompetence of their Presidents. Colonel Autumn would decide to follow a different path: to trace back to the roots of their government to some time back before the events of the Sino-American War to learn what exactly makes someone an American, and in doing so emulates the styles and trappings of the Colonial Militia back when America comprised of the original 13 Colonies and their daring stand against British Tyranny that had dominated the world for centuries before in a bid to establish their own Independence. Colonel Autumn needed more, he also needed a symbol and an icon for them to rally behind on the battlefield; someone who wasn't a part of the Enclave but was undoubtedly American to the core and had the benefit of viewing the nation not from the perspective of a Politician or a Bureaucrat, but as an everyday citizen who could defend the rights and liberties of its people from the halls of Court or from the frontlines of Battle: which is where the Sole Survivor comes into play at for them, due to Nate and Nora being admitted into Vault 111 and cryogenically frozen for its experiment. It would lend enough credence for The Minutemen to automatically make The Sole Survivor their General; because of their leadership qualities and military history. It would then be through interacting with Preston Garvey, a former staff sergeant of the Enclave now turned into Minutemen soldier that the Sole Survivor would help to rebuild The Enclave by bringing them back to their roots as the protectors of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as The Minutemen. It would serve as a character arc for the Enclave to now be seen as the definitive Good Guys for a change as the disguised officers and soldiers pay attention to our example and rebuild the Commonwealth and reorganize it into a provisional government again. To top it all off, it would also serve as a good character comparison where The Enclave is fighting against The Institute: a faction that followed the same ideologies and beliefs that The Enclave once held back in _Fallout 2,_ a way to show exactly how far the Enclave came as an organization since then under our command.

In my playthrough of FO3 I spared colonel autumn to stand down. I'm hoping to see him again someday.

I wish they would, but they've backed themselves into a corner. The Enclave were supposed to be a one-off enemy in the original games, and they had to bring them back for F3 to give older players a nostalgic enemy. Lore-wise, the Enclave was eradicated in Fallout 1 and 2, and then eradicated again in Fallout 3. They can't really resurrect them a third time. The only way they could is if they set a new game in Texas or Mexico, but they won't. They'll keep milking the "its been 200 years and nobody has rebuilt anything" theme, instead of actually giving the survivors a history. Realistically, the Enclave would have spent 200 years rebuilding, not just chilling on an oil rig and in Raven Rock

The Enclave has been my favorite faction in the entire Fallout series, it's good to know they may not be entirely in shambles.

Next fallout game should have you raised in the enclave instead of a vault and give you the option to side with them, side with the brotherhood and betray them, same thing with some new faction, or overthrow the leadership crush all the other factions and declare yourself president for life and begin the reconquest of America

Hey Omega Initiative I just wanna say I think your contents great and deserves way more credit. You are my favorite fallout theorist over Oxhorn and violet puma gaming. Keep up the good work you always give me hope that the Enclave has a chance in the future to return. Keep uploading and keep being you!

I wouldn't mind seeing a more reformed enclave at some point so it isn't simply "the enclave is evil" or "the enclave is good" it has good and bad characteristics. I mean, even now you can debate good in the enclave..It's just overshadowed by bad.

I’m so glad I found this video. I love learning about the Enclave they are such and intriguing faction. What I really like about them is they are not this huge army faction with 1,000,000 soldiers (that we know of) but they are just a technologically superior and resourceful faction. I mean it never crossed my mind to ever use something like an outfitted oil rig in the ocean as a base. But it makes sense as no one is going to use a whole nuke to take out individual oil rigs. Heck i wouldn’t be surprised if they are using more than one rigs and that’s just where more of their personnel are in hiding and in preparation. Even using a mobile launch platform as a mobile base. Like I said they got all the secrets to hidden bases and they know how to utilize even old technology to benefit them.

I already knew this for sometime, but we already knew there were other Enclave outposts in the wasteland (Raven Rock was one orignally), but also Chicago and (🙄) Appalachia. But also during the battle of Adam's Airforce base we find a holotape in which Enclave High Command (whose members we never encounter, leaving Colonel Autumn the highest ranking officer we see or meet) ordering the use of artillery strikes in order to drive the BoS back. Likewise, we also learn that the Enclave has numerous Sigma Squads yet for their "last stand" only one is deployed to guard the Mobile Base Crawler. If this was truley the Enclave's last stand, we would see all of them deployed at Adams to hold off the BoS. And this is just the evidence we see in Broken Steel (not including the outposts). Strongly suggesting that we are only encountering a small detachment of the Enclave, and not their main forces.

It's worth noting that Raven Rock is in Pennsylvania. They weren't even that close to the capital, as you have to cross the longest north/south section of Maryland. I love how much the world shrinks in those games.

Oh i cant wait for the Old World Blues mod for Hoi4 to be finished it will be epic

The enclave really needs a anti-hero branch that holds those that honestly care about restoring America and her people. Recruiting her fallen sons and removing the mutant threat. A force for honest good in the wasteland. A ember of what once was and could be again. Something a person could take pride in helping. I'm tired of them being written as nothing more than mad men bent on extermination. I would like to see a joinable faction in the next game. One that has been written well.

I'm starting to think f4s story is just all in his or her head

I know people do not believe in bethesda's competence any longer especially after fallout 76 (some never believed in them) but i really hope Enclave will comeback in fallout 5 or whatever the next game is gonna be called.

The enclave live on through the members of radposting on facebook

DC has one advantage. If the Enclave could've pushed out the Brotherhood the Enclave would've had Liberty Prime assuming the Brotherhood didn't try and destroy it or take it with them.

The enclave have to be somewhere in the gulf states since theyve been abandoned since resources went dry and were a major oil industry as a major hub perfect place to lay low in secret

My head cannon is that theres an enclave base for every pre war sector of the USA, so if we went to the midwest or Texas we'd find them again

That's it. I'm going to the last place uncorrupted my communism: *SPACE*

America has a gigantic Navy, that Navy is spread throughout the world in Oceans that wouldn’t be targeted. I believe the Enclave probably has atleast 1 of the 7 US Fleets

Let's hope your right. But if Bethesda doesn't do that there is still Chicago

The way I explain it to myself is that the oil rig was the central hub of command for an otherwise decentralized nation, much like the Senate was to the U.S. whose principles they base themselves is. However with it's destruction and the death of their higher command staff and leader, the Enclave split itself into a plethora of factions each trying to unite the rest under it's own command and the one at the capital wasteland saw the opportunity to do so by purifying the old capital of the U.S. and turning it into a rallying banner from where to command all the rest of the Enclave.

Wish they went more Josh Sawyer in terms of the Post Post-Apocalypse with city sized settlements rather than rotting Old World infrastructure still being used. Plus the abundance of mutated flora that could've grown over everything.

Here's an idea, what if the enclave has a gigantic underground city moon base, and that the oil rig and all other enclave bases/vault-tec vaults were a front for the real moon project? Maybe during the great war, a massive rocket filled to the brim with enclave personnel left the Earth's atmosphere, after a century of construction they began scheming to retake the US by any means necessary, be it directly or indirectly. Sort of like an evil twisted fallout version of the Apollo 11 moon landing. But what do you think about this idea? 🤔

Not unbelievable that it was just a smaller force considering Autumn was just a Colonel and not a General

I only played very little of fallout 3 and made a few endings on fallout nv, and funny thing is that i always assumed that the enclave of fallout 3 and the one mentioned in nv were different branches of, but not the entire organization. I thought they were something like the "chapters" of the brotherhood but perhaps with a central command organizing them, since i had the impression that each brotherhood chapter was kinda independent from each other.

Honestly i think the main reason why we can never side with them in any of the games isn’t a moral reason, but because they are just too powerful. All other factors are much less significant so it allows for player choice of faction without any drastic changes for future games and removing a need for a “cannon ending”. Fallout factions are either mostly region dependent or just don’t do much (hence the BOS, since they never try to form any type of government). If the enclave won in a future fallout game, they would undoubtedly expand their control over much of the wasteland affecting other games, and thus would force the need for a “cannon ending” of them either winning or losing

Even though I'm a firm Brotherhood of Steel member.. I should point out that the Enclave had a good chance of winning in Fallout 3. If they'd used proper tactics (instead of how Bethesda wrote them), it would have gone down like this: - the Capital contingent of the Enclaves vertibird forces fly in, straight into the Citadel since they have no AA defenses. Hellfire troopers are sent in to quickly liquidate high ranking BoS soldiers and the leadership. Any troops of the BoS not able to be taken out in that blitzkrieg sweep would be finished off by supplementary infantry forces of the Enclave, these being the Mk2 soldiers. [Situation in which the BoS manage to get Liberty Prime in the field before the Enclave assault on the Citadel] - the Brotherhood preparing for an assault of large magnitude, preemptively activate Liberty Prime. As it makes it's way to the bridge outside the Citadel perimeter, the Enclave send three vertibirds to intercept it. As Liberty Prime detects their approach, it uses it's sensor beam to annihilate the leading vertibirds, but the other two open fire. As they distract the colossus, the Enclave operations base initiates it's orbital systems, and eliminate Liberty Prime. The great metal automaton falls low as it's defeat is realized. The Brotherhood give a valiant fight, but they are soon routed by the infantry of the Enclave. (Now I should also point out that in such a situation, the Brotherhood could still win. They have tactics they themselves could use. Not to mention I'd redesign the Citadel abit and give them AA defenses, because other lesser governmental buildings have them, and you're telling me the Pentagons defenses wouldn't last? That's simply ridiculous.. Also, I'd redesign Liberty Prime itself, it isn't the most effective design. Which is abit sad for a few reasons, one being House is a genius, yet he helped design such a tincan. If I redesigned it, it would look like this): [Liberty Prime] - no nuclear backpack (who seriously thought this would work?) - plasma caster for anti-vehicle purposes - missile launcher systems for anti-bunker, fortifications and de-mining purposes - flamethrower or laser gatling for anti-infantry purposes (all weapons mentioned upsized of course).

I have an idea of a fallout game set in texas where the three factions are caesars legion, the enclave, and a faction called OLYMPUS led by one of the master’s former lieutenants who wants to create a super mutant empire based in austin. Basically the super mutants are becoming more technologically advanced and organized and the enclave want to wipe them out before they conquer america

The enclave are alive and making dogmeat clones for the next fallout games

Yay more people like me will not get murdered by the Brotherhood of steel

Could you cover the us army post war and what happend to it.

I just want to know what happened to the Chicago enclave from the EDE logs

I think DC enclave is a rogue group or smaller group (not the main group focus, so a bigger group can come with new tech and wipe of BoS) and or a distraction for brotherhood. something is happening for the enclave that's hidden in the dark. maybe enclave thought the smaller group would last longer but enclave can still use super mutants or mercs to mess with BoS. enclave is just hiding in the dark, build up or controlling the wasteland in the shadows. I have so many theories

PMZ valdez made think the enclave has a navy force. I imagine a division of enclave travelling all throughout the world to conduct experiments and gather resources. Places where America colonized during the great war and is weak against forces like the enclave. Place like philippine. Something like that.

I think a good idea would be for an Enclave in maybe Louisiana or something, that got nearly defeated in a war against the BoS that they had to recruit outsiders in order to fill their ranks. But an internal civil war is happening between hardcore Enclave fanatics that want to kill all outsiders and the more tolorant, open minded part of the Enclave.

Top 4 Places for an Enclave High Command to Secretly be (because we don't know much on the area's) Florida. Interesting new take on Fallout's scenery there. Alaska: After all the fighting there i don't doubt this would make the Enclave a Force to be reckoned with if they have acess to all the weapons/power armor/tech from the battle of Anchorage. Midwest ish area. Illinois Minnasota or Wisconsin Would be good for the Great Lakes to play a part in the game (makes a map border easy on Bethesdas part) And Finally Somewhere by Mexico/Texas. Would be similar to fallout 1 2 and new vegases region but with new spice and NCR could be involved.

when you search "cope" this video is the first result

I’ve always hoped we’ll see Colonel Autumn again. Is a good guy

I love how Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave basically came from the same bunker in the ground. Yet, their doctrine and mission was vastly different.

It’s easy, the institute is secretly their pawn, developing synths to create a grand army, they were just hiding in space until it’s time to strike. But the institute secretly broke ties with the enclave after they lost in fallout 3, leaving the institute to their own devices and the enclave retreating to a space station

Honestly it would make much sense that the enclave is much bigger then those what we see on screen. They wouldnt wait nearly 200 years on the oil rig and do nothing, same they wouldnt just sit in Raven Rock and doing 30 years nothing either. If the oil rig had only 1000 residents, many of them elderly or children, only few surived etc. the washington outpost wouldnt even have a few hundred members at all. The enclave must have any kind of footholt in the mainland and also huge programms to higher up the birthrates. Same as you say in the video why the hell there is only a Colonel, but not any Generals. So far, so good; But there is a huge Problem, which makes the whole Enclave Lore more or less broken: The Enclave would have acess to nuclear weaponry, pre-war satellites, etc. but never take advantage of? Not against the NCR, not against the BOS... Never? Espacially in Fallout 3, they got attacked by the Brotherhood, but no one come on the idea to use the satellite bombing against the Citadel, literally just wiping out the most of Brotherhood with no efforts? And if there is a backing foothold, why no one comes into the idea to help the Washington chapter and destroy the big thread called BOS together? Many things makes literally no sense.

I’d imagine after the rig was destroyed the higher rankings would have went into hiding somewhere in Canada which was under US control before the Great War

I hate to break it to you, but I highly doubt that Bethesda actually thought about as hard as you did

So like other people said they could be holding up in Chicago or southern cities since we haven’t seen the American south yet. But also since America annexed Canada in Fallout there could tons of Enclave bases and soldiers there. Since Canada is so empty the Chinese might not have nuked it that much leaving the Enclave stronger there

That, and supposidly the Enclave has a navy that we've never seen yet. Which we assume from Fallout 2.

Fallout 2 has a map showing potentially dozens of Enclave bases world wide. Not in the US, *world wide.*

Vid Idea: What if the chosen one didn't lose an expensive piece of army-issue equipment?

Still think it’d be cool if in the next game we find out that enclave remnants have covertly infiltrated the brotherhood via new recruits and have been manipulating their greatest enemy and corrupting them for decades with extremist ideology, effectively destroying them and reforming their own faction at the same time.

It would be naive to think our army consists of only few thourdsants of personel. God bless America. God bless the Enclave.

God bless the Enclave! God bless the 🇺🇸

Since the events of fallout 3 the brotherhood grew stronger yet the enclave grew weaker, they are on an even playing field now

The signals came from white springs as they could communicate with raven rock and Adams Air Force base

Oh so true (RP wise) yes I'm in an RP group on Xbox

what kind of invasion force brings their non combatant super computer leader with them.

I hope so, they make great bad guys. They need to make the Brotherhood a bit more fleshed out as well. Both factions feel a bit flat and it'd be nice to see some depth or a choice to be made between them instead of just bad vs good and lots of set pieces to look impressive. It'd be nice to see them in a new fallout, feels a bit lacking without them stomping around like post nuclear nazis. lol

You make some very valid points throughout the video but I have my own personal theory. One of your biggest points especially towards the start is about the enclave having no reason for being in DC. you do mention how Raven Rock can manufacture buy can’t make humans. I don’t think that mattered much to the Enclave at the time. After losing the oil rig they need a new bug base of operations and a place to rebuild all the tech they lost and gain new recruits. Raven Rock can at least fill two of those. Their only issue would be getting recruits but maybe they focus on that later once they rebuild the rest of their faction. Then later on when project purity happens they want control to become the wastelands saviors. That becomes how they could get more recruits. Obviously that didn’t work and then Adams Air Force bass happened and they’re supposedly gone. But I agree that they are still out there. I especially think the outposts at Chicago will have something to do with the return of the enclave in a future fallout game, perhaps even a game taking place in Chicago sometime in the near or not so near future

New Vegas suggests an enclave base in Chicago or near Chicago. I think that would be interesting especially if tactics is no longer canon

Very interesting, I always wondered why the enclave had so many soldiers in fallout 3. I mean it’s not like they were engaging in cloning right? Wait. Enclave clone soldiers? Woah.

Not canon now but vualt 0 they where wiped out due to budget cuts. But its implaied a heavy amount of the top folk where there, but yeah there small hints there should be a vualt city for breeding.

I love that even in the fictional post-apocalyptic sci-fi universe the tune is still *"Da government's lying to ya!"* Great video btw.

Always thought because we now know they recruit outsiders they were originally planning to recruit from DC and also recover the lost tech. Possible use GECKs to terraform the region. However for some reason they were delayed and the Brotherhood took one of the best locations to build a base.

do not let them know where we are hiding

I would disagree, chances are they are spread out in small groups in places like Alaska or larger pockets in the less populated regions that is the center of our current nation, or a major underground facility that is used for situations like this. All I can say is that it is very likely that the enclave is gone. Their mission to DC was likely initially done to see if they could save info stored in the Pentagon as well as recover Important artifacts such as the painting of George Washington in the white house, see the damage and if they could actually rebuild the capital.

WHAT IF the enclave we know is it's the first and second research and development & recon and security wave of units that were tasks to monitor and secure objectives needed for the third and final wave of Enclave main force which was forgoten (waking up process sabotaged) waiting to be woke up from their cryogenic chambers in order to take the secured high value land (agricultural & industrial areas), to insure the massive Enclave high class and top brass could resettled with minimum risk of atrition.

Irritating to me they weren’t in fallout 4. Fallout 4 needed more good factions, since the Minutemen and Railroad were more side factions. Basically you have a fully fleshed out Brotherhood of Steel, but a half finished Institute that clearly could have been so much more.

On FO76 im a secret enclave member. if you have an urban scout armour mask then your automatic enclave by right of this gift.

I just want to join the enclave for once I’m sick of the brotherhood of steel

I really hope there’s a much larger force i feel like what we’ve seen in the games doesn’t seem realistic there’s no way they had that little amount of force while it wasn’t small I still feel like there should be a massive base out there somewhere i really hope so

What I will say as this from a military prospective where is his XO and his other officers why is their only him and other lieutenant he should have at least a Lt.Col or major as his XO and captains and lieutenant helping run this operation if it was the full force I believe this is probably a skeleton crew with decent amount security.

Bethesda absolutely hates the enclave and wants nearly nothing to do with it.

The enclave Reside on the dark of the moon 🌙

The lore basically confirms that the Enclave are done and dusted dude. They were given major defeats at the oil rig, Raven Rock and Adams AFB. By the time of Fallout 3 they don't tend to recruit from the outside thus they'll suffer from a lack of genetic diversity sooner rather than later. It's safe to assume that the remaining survivors either went their separate ways after the realization that they'll never accomplish the Enclave's main goals or just deciding to live out the rest of their lives together in peace somewhere remote where no potential hostile factions would even know what their power armor or emblem looked like. Seems the most logical choice for self-preservation in the long term. Unless we get a retcon, their basically gone now. Sad really, I liked them as antagonists more than generic Raider types or people trying to emulate what came before... plus their power armor was the coolest looking, LOL.

you know i had a theory that after the oil rig the enclave has completely fractured that would explain why they would make terrible tactical decisions and why we dont see anymore of the organization in fallout 4 they ether have fallen dormant all together or have started a schism of some sort also maybe some of the sects have given up the genocidal missions of they might still view themselves as better than the averge wastelander but might not actually be planning on using a genocide virus or something.

Oh believe me we have hundreds of bases bigger than raven rock

God bless the Enclave and no one else

This is kinda backed by the fact that autumn has a southern accent.

If the Enclave from Fallout 3 was only sent to give the men a morale boost and to capture and control Raven Rock for the weapons that possibly means other divisions are capturing places such as Philidelphia. If the Enclave also send men out to capture military bases one way to gain a foothold in the American south is the base like Fort Bragg in North Carolina. If the Brotherhood didn't raid it already than it could still hold Verti birds and possibly a few intact armored vehicles. Personally, I don't think Autumn was the highest-ranking member of the entire Enclave's army. So this video actual shows the points I have made with others while playing this.

The Enclave are clearly just biding their time in Canada, building their forces up, both gear wise and body wise.

The enclave lost comms and most of their bases to Chinese sabotage and the war and the enclave wanted the capital for legitimacy, Raven Rock, the pentagon and Liberty Prime. As far as anyone is concerned the enclave no longer exists.

All I want is a game I can really just fully immerse myself in the Enclave. I guess I can to an extent in 76 (and I am making an exclusively Enclave character), but I would like a single player fallout to join the ultimate Faction. And it just be a power trip like the brotherhood in FO4

With obsidian and Bethesda now being Microsoft property I hope we see a game with NV writing and fallout 4 production Like imagine your decisions actually matter like in NV and there is actually an endgame Maybe there we will place to an enclave we could be part of

I originally got intrested in the enclave cuz I thought x01 power armor looked cool now I cant get enough of this awsome faction!

Also Eddie from new Vegas gives vague himts

2 things I hope for in terms of new fallout games, is one set somewhere in Europe, showing how they've handled the war. As well as one where you actually play as a member of the Enclave, possibly trying to find any remnants after ending up alone.

God Bless The Enclave

So, saying that colonel autumn was the highest ranking person is correct but also not correct because technically, the highest ranking person is the president in our chain of command.
