Instead of replying to everyone individually, for anyone wanting to comment along the lines of; "The Enclave is evil" - You can join the Legion - You can blow up a town with a nuclear bomb or poison the water with FEV and many more incredibly evil things already "You can't join the Enclave because they don't allow mutants or outsides" - Fallout 76, the currently supported game takes place 25 years after the war, the Enclave hasn't even developed a dislike for mutants yet. - Before their destruction, the Enclave in Fallout 76 expanded their numbers by recruiting a military unit from D.C. - Fallout 2's Enclave has an anti-mutant policy set by the leadership, but as you find out by interacting with the citizens of the Enclave there's a wide range of opinions on the matter, this is further reinforced by the remnants in New Vegas. - By Fallout 3 the entire conflict within the Enclave is based around this, Colonel Autumn defies Eden's plans to poison the water. - Outsiders have joined the Enclave in Fallout 3 such as Stiggs and Anna Holt. - In Fallout 3, the army the Enclave uses to take control of D.C. is almost exclusively young men. It's very unlikely this could be achieved with out recruiting outsiders.

Saying the Enclave (as an institution) isn’t more evil than the Legion is like saying the Nazis aren’t more evil than the Romans. The show has confirmed that the Enclave was willing to start war themselves, or at least let most of the country burn in nuclear fire. The Enclave only took over Project Purity not DC, and they didn’t have a large army. Last and most important despite their cool gear and organization skills, the Enclave as an institution has no redeeming traits (Legion at least had honor).

I think a reasonable explanation of why you can't join the enclave in fallout 1,2 and 3 is because new vegas wasn't made at that point, so bethesda wouldn't have thought that being the villain would work in a game, but after they saw the success of new vegas they added a villian faction to fallout 4. Although not as evil as the legion or enclave, because of how complex fallout 4's story is.

Caesar’s was done so poorly. It isn’t ever really shown much of, so it inevitably gets such a harsh rap. Heck the main goal isn’t known to what I’d argue is 99%+ if the player base. Caesars is a means to an end. To destroy the NCR and all forms of governance that follow the old world doctrine, so a new one, built by and for the wasteland would rise in its place. Unironically, they have a good point, and Caesar even knows that it isn’t built to last.

@@CrizzyEyes He does give good points through his actions. Do you know why his territory was the easiest to cut for content due to time constraints? Because as a player it would be BORING. The roads are safe, more than can be said for most of the game. No raiders, bandits, slavers, deathclaws, geckos etc. It is actually almost unique, bar some of the previous 1 and 2 games in limited areas. Also, his point, as I must reiterate, is NOT TO BUILD. His goal is to destroy the NCR as he sees it as the last vestige of the old world, and a toxic growth that failed. He believes it should be snuffed out, and when it is, then finally a new governance built by and for the wastes can take over. And NO NOT HIS. He acknowledges his nation is build entirely around him, and when he dies, it will fold. The goal is not to build the new civilization built for the wastes, but to remove the old cancer that is failed bureaucracy that put the world into this state in the first place, to give that new future a chance. Basically, if you hate the old governance, and want a different future, and are willing to let people get hurt, a lot of people, for that potential future, you side with Caesar. He's evil due to his callousness with the lives of others, but he does have an argument, especially when you learn that the NCR is more a semi-oligarchical monarchy, with feudal lords known as Brahmin Barons, that takes and demands from others regardless with they agree or not. That is why the game is good. It starts where you see NCR as the good guys, Caesars as the bad, and by the end if you pay attention, they each have their own points and goals, and it's ultimately up to you which future you want.

This is why I love the “Enclave Reborn” sub-mod to the “Old World Blues” mod for Hearts of Iron IV. In a nutshell, after the fall of the Rig and Navarro Sergeant Dornan manages to rally the survivors and lead them east to a military base just north of New Reno. While Dornan was content to lead the survivors until they were safe he is adamant that he has no desire to lead the Enclave indefinitely (he’s a sergeant, dammit, he works for a living!) so the Enclave must elect a new President and the choice is down to two candidates with vastly differently ideologies: Franklin Anderson, an Enclave scientist that is a strong believer in that the Enclave *must* cleanse the wasteland (and the world!) of mutants in order to ensure the survival of the human race and that the ends to achieve this goal justifies the means. The other candidate is Douglas Granite, son of Sergeant Granite from Fallout 2 (and *maybe* the Chosen One…), a man that is more open to the idea of compromising with (and maybe even incorporating!) the Wastelanders into the Enclave if it means restoring America to its former glory. Each side is shown to be not entirely good or evil and playing as one side is vastly different from playing the other. :) Sure it’s a just a mod but it does a hell of a better mod fleshing out the Enclave than many of the actual Fallout games does!

Personally, I hate the idea of a ' good ' Enclave. I feel like the Enclave works best as a more developed antagonist. Not villain, but antagonist. They should be developed to show their humanity and their good parts as well. The Enclave should embody the phrase, " The Ends Justify The Means ". The games should make it clear that if the Enclave succeeded in wiping out all muties, ghouls, abominations, other humans, etc, then the world would quickly rebuild to rival it's pre-war glory. But the player should ask themselves whether the chance of a better future is worth sacrificing the lives of millions and destroying years of humanity's progress. I feel like the Enclave is the most interesting this way. People who advocate for a reformist Enclave literally just want the NCR with Power Armor. The Enclave should still be human, they are still people, it's just the leader's plans which are considered evil. The Enclave are the true government, they are America, just not like the one we remember.

I think the main problem is that Bathesda is creativelybankrupt and feels the need to bring back old staples of the series even when thye make no sense with estabished canon. They rely on old, recognizable concept and factions like the Brotherhood, the Enclave and the supermutenants even when that completely contradicts the lore because the current writers have no good ideas of their own, and even if they did they would be squashed by marketers who want recongizable elements that the fans can feel nostaalgic about. So they are forced to rehash ideas created by the much more talented writers of the first two games forever because any change risks alienating the fanbase and Bethesda, lacking any artistic integrity, will just try to recapture what could be popular with no intention of inroducing any new, creative idea. It's a garbage company which, in my opinion, hasn't made a genuinely good game before or since Morrowind.

@wojak-sensei64242 жыл бұрын
That's pretty much the reason why we want to see them as playable factions. It's not because we support "fascist paramilitaries", it's that it would be a good opportunity to hear how they would present their side. The "villain monologue" is a trope for a reason, it's to present the audience a full introduction to the antagonist. The audience could disagree with their convictions all they want (in fact, that's what antagonists are for), but with the right amount of effort in the writing, we could at least understand why they should be taken seriously. Fallout 2 had this moment with the Enclave at the very end, pretty much depicting a sheltered, bureaucratic, and corrupt society that callously throw away the lives of wastelanders as collateral damage for their clean-up of the continent. Is the Enclave wrong for wanting to purify the wasteland from post-apocalyptic wastes? No, of course not. Should the Enclave give the wasteland a chance despite all the misery and death in it? I'd say no, but it's not a clear answer. Is the Enclave wrong for killing and actively sabotaging surviving communities in the wasteland in order to pursue their goals? Absolutely. So, why do they do what they do? They want to purify the wasteland and rebuild America. Do they have something to justify it? Yes, they want to make the wasteland actually habitable again. And why should we stop them? They'll rebuild America under the graves of people trying to rebuild their own communities in the wasteland. And boom, there's your well-written antagonist. Through these small introductions, these little banters between two sides of an argument, you established both the ruthlessness and intimidation of the Enclave and the bravery of the BoS, NCR, and the Chosen One for standing up to it. We simply don't get that in modern Fallout when it comes to the Enclave, as they're oftentimes presented as unquestionable malevolent forces repeating the same old goal of "muties bad". At that point, they're not a faction to be taken seriously. They're a generic placeholder, a backdrop of an evil, omnipotent force you have to overcome, when in reality, they really are just plain, unapologetic bigots. And that just sucks. Without this metaphorical discussion between the faction and the audience, the Enclave would remain exactly the way they are in Fallout 2. No progression, no nuance, no character.

@@wojak-sensei6424 I always viewed the Enclave as it was originally presented as the elite class from pre-war US basically continuing to do whatever the fuck they want, which in this case is ridiculous science experiments (intelligent Deathclaws) and mass murder based on the weird assumption that no one in the wasteland is redeemable except Vault dwellers. They're kind of stupid, but that is intentional, because the pre-war US government was kind of stupid, which is why we're in this mess to begin with. They're living almost purely off of resources set aside for them before the war even started, enabling their own stupidity. But those are only the leaders. The rest of the Enclave are there because they're just cowards who want to live in pre-war levels of comfort and safety and are willing to give up pretty much anything for that. If you talk to any Enclave members other than the scientists or the President, they always talk about mundane shit, or the task they're currently doing. They don't really act like a cult, never talking about how much they want to kill mutants or how good it will be when the wasteland is "cleansed" so they can re-settle it. They don't take security that seriously, as evidenced by Dornan and Camp Navarro. They also seem to take their resources for granted, since Dornan tells you to just get a new suit of APA and report for duty. I always interpreted it as a statement of what evils ambitious people are capable of when everyone else is a simpering coward who just wants to be safe.

I love this channel solely for discussing my favorite faction. Still pissed that the Autumn route wasn't available in fo3. I want the Enclave to be in the next Fallout series particularly A major faction that is neutral in morality. Something like a phantom haven in the wasteland for everyone to join. A haven for redemption. Mostly made up of Veterans and their son's and daughters. Hardened enough without the power armor and not dependent to guns. There should be new enclave rendition who keeps hunting old world technology to use it for the good of humanity. Instead of hoarding the technologies like what the BOS does. They would actually use it for the good of the wasteland. Secretly distributing supplies to small factions and towns. Secretly punishing criminals by hitting them at night. Leaving raiders and strong mercenary factions to be scared shitless. Sticking to the shadow government title. Think of it having a scout ranger regiment. The enclave at this point is both brutal and effective. As they commit war crimes at times to send a message on an opposing faction. Then unfortunately the enclave will be hunted by the NCR or BOS for having a "bad history" and the power to compete against them. They should also have a route to help them rebuild a part of America.

I'm always really bummed out at how the Enclave basically exists to die because I really love the inherit message they present through their mere existence. Especially poignant in New Vegas, but I absolutely adore the idea of the Enclave being the great reminder. An antagonistic force that very rarely operates on a grand scale across the Wasteland but serves as a punishing reminder that for as bad as it is out there, you're never going to encounter soldiers and people more qualified to ruin you than remnants of one of the most powerful governments ever to exist in the lore of this franchise. Speaking of Remnants, the Enclave Remnants absolutely smearing Legion like a shit stain across the pavement in New Vegas is my favorite example of this. All the barbaric cruelty and monsterous eugenics of the Legion all amount to boys in the yard playing with sticks once *real* soldiers come out to play and while it's cool and heroic in context, it also demonstrates why the Enclave are so scary. On almost every level, the Wasteland stands no chance which is why Lyon's chapter of the Brotherhood taking them down is so substantial. (And only happens because of us, mind you.) I hate that this faction is just *gone* nowadays, even moreso since Fallout 4 basically turned the Brotherhood into the Enclave but worse in every way. The Brotherhood of Steel has always been a more... let's say "blunt" faction to understand yet the spotlight they get suggests that they have as much depth and potential as the Enclave when I genuinely don't think that's the case.

@@The-Enclave The first game to feature the Enclave demonstrated this better than any sympathetic lens could. In Fallout 2, we meet cooks and engineers, rank and file members who are themselves blind to the evils of the organization (which are fundamental to it, not some bad apples, but i'll get back to that). When we do encounter someone within the organization who can finally perceive just how awful it is, Dr Charles Curling is literally willing and able to about face and destroy the enclave with you. Even knowingly destroying those low rank and civilian members. This is because, for centuries, even before the FEV dosed everyone on the continent, the Enclave was not an organization that cared about the people there. The framing of wastelanders as "mutants" was a ploy to dehumanize people who were judged in the way of the Enclave. Where the master had sought perfection in mutant survival, at the expense of most of humanity, the Enclave sought isolation and narrowing bands of human purity. But they were from the outset also intent, not on mass survival, but on the autocratic control and wellbeing of a few elite masters. They were never about restoring civilization, they preceded its destruction and may well have participated in it. They're about the restoration of *their* power, *their people*. One race, one goal. Sound familiar?

And, of course, a NON-VILLAINOUS Enclave that after surviving in Alaska for over 200 years flies from Alaska to Detroit to take control of the Laser attached to the Renaissance Building to keep it from falling into the wrong hands.

Also, now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure there is an ending slide that outright calls the courier a monster or something. An evil karma legion character with caesar dead maybe? Okay I just checked and yes, bad karma side with legion caesar dead gets you this: "The Legion marched over the Hoover Dam with the help of one who was as brutal and merciless as the worst of them: The Courier."

It would be cool to see a future game where instead of starting as a vault dweller or some random mailman, you could start as a brotherhood initiate or enclave private, completing various objectives for the respective faction, maybe getting a promotion or two, until a major threat shows up, maybe a reformed super mutant army or some new advanced faction. Then, the player can choose to go multiple routes: Destroy the new threat under the banner of their faction, betray their faction and join the rising threat, or maybe, meet up with brotherhood/enclave (depends on player's faction) and negotiate an alliance, and we can finally see the two most advanced factions in the wasteland fight side by side

In Fallout 2, in the Poseidon Nuclear Reactor within Gecko, multiple other locations are pinged on “Posidonet” when querying about them, including Iron Mountain and NORAD, implying these are other Enclave bases across the country. Now, it is notable that both appear to be “offline,” but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re dead, just that they might not be open to Posidonet. Plus, the fact that it doesn’t query a place like the Whitesprings or Raven Rock is interesting as well. While in the real world this is simply because the developers of Fallout 2 didn’t know these locations would ever exist, in-universe it could mean that certain Enclave/Poseidon Energy stations only had access to certain other stations. The Whitesprings may simply be cut off from querying other bases beyond Raven Rock and the Oil Rig.

Exactly. The Enclave, as a thematic representation of the fascism and authoritarianism that drove the United States to its ruin, was set up from the start to be a problem that comes up again and again and again; just like real fascism. Saying "we have finally defeated fascism once and for all boys" is always the moment when fascism is handed the ability to regroup and rebuild, and that is exactly what the Enclave is meant to represent.
@hobjob98513 ай бұрын
or...you know, Poseidon energy had a huge reach pre-war? The Gecko powerplant wasn't an Enclave base. The Enclave being everywhere actually spoils them as a faction. If they were so dispersed they'd have all evolved uniquely/separately and wouldn't even be remotely similar 200 years after the war.

Fallout 5 should maybe be the recalling of all remaining (How little there is) Enclave Outposts, hideouts, and bases. So this will finally be the LAST of the Enclave, raising the stakes. They will recall to a state, maybe further east where you could meet a defeated (or prospering) Legion, that want to kill the Enclave and continue their expansion East. While the Enclave want to finally, after all of this time, effort, and mistakes, want to actually help the people of the Wasteland by not fucking murdering everybody. Also some other new factions to make the game spiced up and fun, maybe splinter groups of the bigger factions or new, location-based factions, like tribes of people that want to join the Legion or are at war with the Legion. Thanks for reading my ideas! Edit: Also, of course you can join the Enclave and try to help them enact their plan to truly free the East Coast from all anti-American ideals and people. It will be a strong enthusiasm with nationalism, and you can go off the deep end and become sort of facist with the Enclave, insuring safety with little individuality. Or you can go Democracy, insuring freedom and choice with less of a focus on safety. Have pros and cons to make each decision matter. And PLEASE have a reputation system, there's nothing more immersive then consequences. Edit 2: And a joinable Legion faction, because True to Caesar!

Joining the Enclave would be an interesting (and awesome) idea, but I can only see it as the “Kill everyone” path, the enclave wants to control America, and the wasteland is in the way of that, so the only option is to destroy the wasteland so you can have America all to yourself, so why help wastelanders or other factions if they won’t be apart of the new America anyways. It’s the coolest way to cleanse the wasteland, but it doesn’t leave much room for anyone but the Enclave.

That's only because the writing has gotten progressively worse. The whole point of the original games is that the world CAN get better. The Enclave want to return to pre-war society, and repeat the mistakes that ruined the world in the first place. That's the tragedy of their ideology, they are too obsessed with their memory of the old world to recognize the potential of the world as it is. The Enclave desired one last war to clean the slate and fix the world, but they will inevitably fail because war never changes.

Because the new games suck. In the first 2 the post war world was rebuilding, there was hope for that future beneath all of that despair. The NCR forming in fallout 2 is a testament to that. They take place far earlier on the timeline and already show that growth and progress to rebuilding the broken world, but bethesdas games show a world that is just what you'd expect immediately after the war. Their dogshit writing is why the enclave seems tragically right, when the initial intent was that they were tragically wrong

Fallout is (well, was) about how _new_ civilisations grow out of the ashes of the old. The Enclave is the old; the longer it hangs around, the more it muddies the tone. They were fun, they were great antagonists and the Remnants were interesting ripples, but it's really time to let them go and move on in terms of new content. I agree with what you said at the end, the series (creatively) needs a reset. I personally wouldn't mind seeing more tribal stuff, more of humanity reaching that "ancient civilisation" level. More in the vein of the War Boys from Fury Road, less wastelanders cosplaying as the US Army. Always thought the beast masters from Tactics were a criminally under-utilised idea.

Here's an idea they could do: A place where the Enclave has won, specifically in one of the games have a territory controlled by the enclave, the enclave can be joined if you want, but the enclave are extremely authorization, they make the rules and you follow them or you die. But the area controlled by the enclave is also the safest area of the map as the enclave haven't been fucking around and have been going out and eliminating threats, they can even offer missions to clear places out or arrest people. If you side with them the enclave will begin crushing the other factions and assimilating their territory, by force if they refuse to submit. If you beat the game while sided with them the slide show will tell how the enclave over the next few years will strengthen their hold over the territory they've claimed before beginning to expand outward at a slow but steady pace. There philosophy in this game will be a "Bring back America" type ideology but their interpretation of it.

I think Fallout 5 should be in the Midwest with Enclave having a hidden presence and you can put them in power over the areas surrounding Chicago. I have a plot that I thought of that uses parts of Fallout Tactics and also that line about ED-E trying to find a Chicago Enclave base. Basically, the story is that after Fallout Tactics the Midwestern Brotherhood took heavy casualties getting to and fighting the forces of the Calculator which ended up resulting in a split that has one Brotherhood in Chicago and another in St. Louis. Then when the Enclave forces fleeing east pass by some of their forces stay in Chicago with the base there and the rest move on west. Now the Chcago Brotherhood knows they are there but don't know where. Then when Lyons goes through to the east the Midwestern Brotherhood isn't very nice to them and forces them onwards which leads to the idea of a rogue Midwest Chapter. Then when the game happens you get to pick the St. Louis Brotherhood, Chicago Brotherhood, and the Enclave. The St. Louis Brotherhood want control of the Midwest, the Chicago Chapter wants to hide away, and the Enclave wants to start rebuilding America out from Chicago. They also have infiltrators that are inside the Chicago Brotherhood and the player can either use them to destroy them or to put the Enclave in control of that Chapter. Then you go on and take on the St. Louis Chapter.

I once wanted to make a fallout game set in Atlanta. The premise would be the player gets infected by a dormant mutant strain of the FEV virus that was being studied by the CDC when the bombs fell. One of the dilemmas is what to do with this new virus. The Enclave in the area want to use it to produce a cure for super mutants and an inoculation for future infection. Their argument is simple. Yes, A supermutant might be mentally stable, but most aren't. It's 'unfortunate' but a reality. The player then decides if they want to help the Enclave develop their cure or not. If you do, you have to help them eliminate their technological rival Chromax (who want to use the virus to design 'better, more controlable' super mutants) and the Gardeners (Who use super mutants as slave labor) but if you work with the right people in the Enclave, you can get them to acknowledge forcing the cure on super mutants is wrong and that it should be made voluntary. Otherwise, the enclave successfully purge the new strain of FEV and turn Lanta into a stronghold for the reestablishment of humanity. Alternatively, you can work with the Unionists (They want humans and supermutants to work together) to get the Enclave to abandon their plans for a cure, settling on innoculating against the contageon. If you work with the Shattered Gene or Chromax, the Enclave turn hostile, as both those groups want to 'evolve humanity, but 'Right' this time.

One complaint I've had about the enclave is the name. Enclave. It sounds like they would operate in a similar manner to the brotherhood chapters with *Enclaves* of pre-war civilization. Like the Vaults or Covenant, it sounds like they're a collection of isolated pockets of actual pre-war America- with all its flaws and shortcomings, mixed with a health dose of the apocalypse. Instead, as you mentioned, they're just generic boogiemen. They exist wherever you can imagine there's a bunker, their leadership is.. AI now? And their ideals are whatever we can cook up that sounds evil enough today. I love the enclave and this franchise has done them dirty from start to finish.

I think to sum up the enclave, they were never meant to be considered varied or good, the enclave at it's core is always meant to represent the reactionary remnants of old america and serve as a mirror to that society and their leaders (supremacist ideals, ends justify means, all that). While the brotherhood is more of a conservative faction, they are also focussed on the past (in their case tech), but they move with the times, for them it's always about a general idea of what they wish to preserve, but they can change according to their world. The enclave on the other hand is meant to always take pre war america as it's core aim and never strays from this ideal. A case can definitely be made for a lack of philosophical nuance when dealing with the enclave, but I think making the enclave be less varied than the brotherhood is a deliberate decision.
