@@unbreakable1061 hopefully, but probably not, because Bethesda thinks the BoS are a large faction capable of beating the enclave so they’ll prob just use them instead
My personal idea is what about a reformed enclave dedicated To Creating america anew. Instead of reviving the old Still using traditional enclave weapons
My personal canon is that the Enclave Remnants fought for Mr. House and Hellfire being a backburner prototype made sense considering all the projects we worked on back in 2107. When Fallout Miami comes out we'll see what a Floridian Enclave looks like but until then I'll represent the Florida chapter
Look around you, at the men and women beside you, at the friends and family behind you. You're not alone, millions of us are with you, and against those odds, what hope do the BOS have? I can hear them, the cries of the millions murdered by the Brotherhood of Steel, by the Communists that still hide in our Shadows, by the Raiders who swarm over our lands as if they are the rightful owners, their screams echo through the ears so that we never forget, so that we remember why we're here and what we sacrificed. We do not desire blood, but if blood is to be spilled, then let it be that of our enemies. Everybody speaks of peace as if it were the easiest thing in the world to achieve. But few understand what peace demands. Fewer still are willing to do what must be done in order to achieve it. Peace is not like doves and handshakes, it is bodies and bullets and the will to withstand both. I understand why people won't forget their pain, the loved ones we've lost, the countless innocents slaughtered by those monsters out there. It's simply much easier to forget than to remember, but we must remember. We must never forget what those vile demons have done and will do again if given the chance. We must never forget. We Must Never Fall!! One Enclave, United now and Forever
My theory is that like the x01 plans in the white springs bunker there were plans in the Chicago military bunkers so the brotherhood used the plans along with t51b plating to design their own x02 variant
Synonymous is one of my favourite fallout content creators right now, he is one of the most influential people and a true inspiration to my work. I’m very happy to have you on board!
@@TheWanderer2287 I don't think the Wastelanders would appreciate the BoS using Enclave armor, considering many innocent people were murdered by soldiers wearing such armor.
I honestly don’t think anyone would care if it offers protection but I see the symbolism, but if the brotherhood followed the old ways of “preserving tech” instead of “save the wasteland” it would be less of a problem
@@TheWanderer2287 Yeah, that's fair. I only mention that because wearing the Enclave helmets in 3 and NV already make you lose charisma. The Brotherhood wearing full on Enclave gear would've been like America wearing Nazi uniforms after WW2 and trying to keep the peace in countries occupied by them.
Even then the BOS made themselves look like Nazis during Fallout 4, so even then I’m not sure. It’s a compelling argument, perhaps I’ll cover it one day!
With the new update for fallout 4, the X-02 (black devil) is the progenitor of the APA MK-II in fallout 3. I generally don't think the MK-II makes the MK-I obsolete just that the Mk-II was easier to mass produce, lighter alloys and ceramics. I also think in lore its supposed to be 'agile' compared to the pre-war armors and Mk-I (which it doesn't make sense because it has -1 to agility for some reason in fallout 3) YOu wOuld think since its advertised as sleeK and lighter. I wish we would get another cannon book specifically for the enclave. MORE LORE.
What about the Advanced Power Armor Mark 2 on the Enclave Oil Rig? Was it just retconned or a special prototype? It looks like a mark 1 but is described like the mark 2 is.
My thinking is that it is still a mark 2 but is a either a mark II to a mark I of enclave advanced on that platform, or the mark I is X-01. It’s a plausible theory but nothing concrete.
@@TheWanderer2287 I always figured MK-1 was just a finished X-01. Issues common in X-01 (like its extreme cost) were just polished and finished up so common soldiery could wear it more often, and re-labeled MK-1.
I dunno about the X-02 being better than the Apa and X01. In fallout 3 the armor’s stats were mediocre at best. defense wise it had the same stats as T45 power armor with its advantage being in the fact that it didn’t slow the wearer down as much. Hell even T51 power armor was stonger, and had the same dr stats like the Hellfire Power Armor
@@TheWanderer2287 Like how they fucked up half the power armor lore? How they fucked up 76, 4 and other games? Honestly my head canon is that the ApA and the X-01 are the same but the “pre-war” prototype is a shittier version while the one we see in 2 and 4 is the final one. X-02 was power ful but was kinda hastily done in chicago. The main advantages to the X-01 is that its not just easier to repair and maintain but the light materials give it much more mobility making it the fastest suit of power armor. However its general defense compared to the Older model is lacking so suits of X-01 tend to be worn by Veterans or Elites as both a badge of honor and a sign of status. X-03 or Hellfire power armor is quite literally the best of the best. It has higher defense than most armors, is heat resistant making it one of the few armors that is much more resistant to plasma weapons. The only downside is that its really hard to make and so its something also usually given to elite or elimination squads.
@@blacktemplar2982 Well not really since power armor stat wise in fallout 3/nv tended to be underwhelming. Infact its one of the reasons why mods like Titans of the New West and P.e.P took off since they make them worthy and do fix the stats lore accurately while still making them balanced.
Like that you have the enclave remnants bunker installed It’s little stuff like that I notice It’s a shame that they didn’t add the enclave in fallout 4
I'm pretty sure there's a 50% chance that the ending of The Wanderer's story will end with him being knocked out/ambushed and him waking up in a cart ride to Helgen, thus making a bridge between a Fallout Lore series and an Elder Scrolls Lore series.
Not much is really known about Frank’s suit, however it is a unique suit of power armour which basically kept him alive and functioning. From my observations, it’s pretty much a heavily modified enclave advanced model. I actually made a video on Frank Horrigan quite a while ago, I dunno if you’ve watched it, but if you want some info on the enclave’s no. 1 mutie, that’s a vid for you my friend!
9:02 that chapter of the brother hood is Tactics and not considered canon and only small parts of tactics are considered canon. Though the design does look similar to X-02 in some ways
I am well aware that the Midwestern power armour is not canon, but I wished to cover it anyways just to add a bit of flavour to the video and do some theory crafting
I like to imagine what if the US had created every suit up to the X0-3 before the war but realistically the Chinese would just develop something to counter it. It's like picturing a modern F-35 in Vietnam
This is all like 99% correct, but there's one gap. There is already a mark II power armor existing before the 'Black Devil' power armor, it was basically just a stronger variant of the Mark .I with the same looks, making the 'Black Devil' PA the Mark .III and so forth.
@@TheWanderer2287 i am just excited because bethesda did good work on fao3 enclave and then they just wiped all of them and then left xo1 but told us it is advanced while putting plot holes in the story the fans like you create sense in the story of enclave and i love it keep up the good work man
So when were to xo2 and x03 power armor made? I thought the black devil and hellfire were X series armor but ur saying they’re APA pa? Do all the later power armor count as APA instead of X?
X-01 is a prototype or test name, which is very similar to what the military in the real-world do with their prototype technology. Mod authors and creation club creators call the Hellfire and EAPA “X-02” and “X-03” but just because a mod author calls it that doesn’t mean it’s canon. That’s the reason I avoided calling it that, because it’s not the canonical name and not official either, and to avoid confusion. X-01: test model Enclave Advanced Power Armour: The fully finished product Enclave Advanced Mark II: A heavily modified and tweaked variant used in DC Hellfire: it’s own unique set
The fo2 version is called the combat power armour Mark II, but I think with the introduction of the east coast variant this was retconned. If not then the enclave advanced east coast is a Mark II of the west coast variant.
The explanation that the AdvancedPowerArmor mk2 (fallout2 ) is the same as the Black Devil power armor(fallout3 ) is NOT OK , because the Fallout 2 APA MK2 was the best armor in the game, stronger than the T51b, so in that case why does this Black Devil armor is weaker if its the same ? The only real explanation is - what the Bible also mentions , that the Enclave has developed a lot ot new types of the Power Armor, none of these are much of an improvment over the T51b , so after the oil rig explosion , they only had these old /not good blueprints or simply they just did not have enough resource to create the same Advanced Power Armor MK2 what we saw in fallout 2, they only could produce this Enclave Power Armor (black devil) , which is weaker , but they only could do this
I hope the next enclave are less of the steriotypical "imma do evil shit for no reason" and more interesting...oh wait Bethesda's writers are mid tier idiots who can ONLY use steriotypes and cliches because they can't think of anything original or do whats already established. *Cough* *Cough* bethesda super mutants *Cough*
Good question! Honestly, I’m not too big of a fan of the idea of vault dwellers getting their hands on prototype power armour when the armour wasn’t even developed until CENTURIES later, so to an effect yes. That’s why in this video I refer to the prototype as a “wild wasteland tale” as if my character refuses to believe the enclave would do something so bizarre and stupid, lol
Well, to have an effective and sensible suit meant to serve the purpose of the hellfire suit it would need to be more than a cosmetic skin in my opinion
Hellfire definitely, X-02s were developed before the war but the X-01 (the armour that skin goes on) was in development at the time and the Enclave being the only ones that have that armour makes sense
It has never been stated by Bethesda that fallout 76 is canon or not, at least to my knowledge. If you have any sources on this feel free to DM me on Twitter, Instagram or Discord because I genuinely am interested
That main menu screen music was one of the only things I could think of using when implementing a part of my own story into this video. Glad someone recognised it!
Can’t remember his name, it’s been a while since I’ve played Fallout 4 in general... perhaps, since StooDogg gifted it me for my upcoming birthday on steam, I’ll do a stream of it?
@@TheWanderer2287 yep it’s grand zealot richter from the nucleus in far harbor one dialogue option tells you about him as a former enclave soldier btw that is impressive about this video you must have done a lot of research on this about power armor and the story in general
I really admire you but tbh you made a few mistakes but see as you are enclave you wouldn't know that the brotherhood would not let a single piece of that power armor or weapons to get in wastelanders hands no immersion broken
Some wastelanders- particularly raiders, can put up a tough fight. Perhaps the BOS didn’t even know about that particular suit? It’s just an opportunity that could be made from the enclaves defeat.
