The Brotherhood is the main faction of the series and there is no combination of words that will ever convince me otherwise. A comet perhaps might do it. Or a biblical plague, frogs most likely.
They've played a major role in every Fallout game made by Bethesda and they almost always end up winning so yeah, I'd say they're definitely Bethesda's favorites.
^^^theres 2 Interplay games with "Brotherhood of Steel" in the title (and they were going to make sequels) and the BoS was going to be a major faction in Van Buren, it's not just Bethesda, they're Fallout's favorite faction.
There is a complexity and depth to their history that makes it easy to dive into and flesh out. Not saying that other factions don't have that, but I'm guessing Bethesda (and Interplay) have done enough market research and gamer polling to understand that most people like seeing/playing as the BoS. In my experience, a company's "favorite" is the one that makes them the most $$$.
It's true. We've seen the Enclave get kerb-stomped several times, and yet, they keep popping back up. In the Fallout world, it's been as long since the Great War as it's been since the Revolutionary War in our world; you'd think the Enclave would have shat or yielded their spot in the shitoir, but no... here they come again.
