@@angreydoggo4357 Dude, that was a compliment (or at least, it should be taken as one). FNV is so fucking well written, and it portrayed the BOS exactly as they are: paranoid and supremacist onto themselves......... AND that: covers the necessary NV bootlicking
This was my exact interaction with the brotherhood my first play through. Went back later with a stealth boy and blew them up only meeting Veronica later. That was awkward, but honestly she probably understands why.
@@juliorodriguez6156 I was so confused when this happened to me the first time I played New Vegas. I was, of course, a fan who got in with Fallout 3, so you can imagine what my *initial* read on the Brotherhood of Steel as a whole was, and why this didn't line up.
I had played through the Dead Money DLC prior to entering the Brotherhood bunker, so when they tried putting ANOTHER explosive collar on me, I said “nah, fuck THAT” and wiped them all out
Yeah, by that time you should be around level 30 (depending on which DLC's you already finished) and have the appropriate gear to tell the BoS where to stick these long Gauss rifles. And the content of the base is really nice for repairs, that's a bonus! And when you want a smile on your face, you haven't met Veronica before you wipe them out. It's pretty funny to tell her that you commited genocide on her "family".
Imagine the BOS reporting back that a hillbilly in dungarees and the local podunk sheriff just disactivated their slave collar and butchered an entire punitive mission with an anti material rifle and now know the secret base location
I saw the dialogue option before presenting the bomb collar as evidence, I always just assumed you would get exploded immediately if you brought up the brotherhood, since from earlier playthroughs I knew that the collar has a microphone in it for them to spy on you. I guess they just never set it up for manual detonation.
I guess they couldn’t do that and they overheard you telling the Ranger about them and that’s why they sent a hit squad right after you tell him that there’s a brotherhood base.
What I learn about bomb collars since my trip to Sierra madre, is they are pretty clanky at best, bieng cheap they can go off when even exposed to radio frequency, tend to really to much on signals as they cant be activated if that frequency is blocked.
Well heres the thing. If you decide to play for the BoS and plan to kill the ranger: there is the dialogue option to ask him why he's alone and if he is not gonna get missed by the NCR for operating alone and not reporting back. The ranger will tell you that rangers generally operate freely and he wont be missed therefore. If you kill him and didnt asked him if he's gonna be missed the BoS Elder will ask you how you know it wont cause more trouble since the NCR maybe is gonna be missing him and sent reinforcements - since they listened to your conversation via a microphone how he explains further.
Funny. I rarely did this option; most of the time, either I wiped out the Brotherhood on my own without surrendering to them, or I did enough favors for them to marry them to the NCR.
@@gorsyy pretty sure you've beaten the game by now but read no further in my reply if you haven't. Pretty sure going there with Veronica makes it x10 easier to get them to ally themselves with the NCR

"POWDER GANGERS could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this valley before. There could be POWDER GANGERS anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his bare face.

Like do they seriously think that the LITERAL SLAVE that they said they would've shot in the head if it wasn't for the elder spending them into doing some dirty work, wouldn't snitch to not have a literal ticking bomb on their neck
I like Dobson so much lmao He's so funny and cool. In all my playthroughts since 2010, i always meet the BOS without Veronica just to get this unique part of the quest with Dobson. I wish he had more screen time in the game. Like seeing him in NCR quests or during the battle of Hoover Dam.
"My policy towards trespassers has not been...lenient." "My guy, you had me stripped down at gunpoint and dragged inside" Like, they could have at least put a "No Solicitors" sign on the outer door.
As the strongest NCR, DobGOAT, fought the frauds, the BoS paladins. He begin hiding behind the Courier. The BoS paladins shrunk back in fear, then Dobson said "Stand proud paladins, you're strong"
What, did the Brotherhood think kidnapping me, threatening me and my friends, sticking a bomb collar on me, and sending me to do their work for them would somehow make me warm up to them? Did they actually expect it to do anything besides convince me to go rat them out to their enemies, who also happen to be in the area in force?
@@bsims4126 Dead money used a shitty ass annoying collar, mf basically jury rigged something into a collar like they aren't a dime a dozen throughout the wastes.

What happens if you go back to hidden valley after? Massive NCR assault like the correctional facility? They still expect you to go in and self destruct it?
I mean what the hell COULD they do? It would've take much more guys to smoke out a bunker full of BoS members in power armor. I don't think whole mojave ranger corp would be enough. NCR would've probably wait till the battle of hoover dam is over, brotherhood ain't going anywhere. And if they lose the dam... well, now it's Cesars problem. Powder gangers assault would've looked like family picnic compared to taking on whole mojave chapter.
@@M-I Honestly, yeah. They could just collapse all but one entrance, block the vents, and wait. Eventually, the Brotherhood would either have to get out or die suffocating inside. Once they exit, it's a simple choice - surrender or die in a well established line of fire.
Yeah the NCR cannot commit to a major operation like that while the Legion sits on the other side of the dam waiting for their attention to be divided. It's the reason why they haven't annexed New Vegas yet.
You’d think after the pointman stuck his head over that rise and got his can opened by an Anti Material Rifle, the others would have had some second thoughts about the whole ambush thing lmao
@@PhocksTheFox not...really. bos in fallout 4 are basically nazis lol. They destroyed rivet city to use the ships reactor for the prydwen, they dont care about the people of the commonwealth, only what they can offer in supplies or manpower, and they execute any synths or anyone whos not a "real" human
@@PhocksTheFox truth is that the BoS is so decentralized that its perfectly lore acurate. Lyon's outcast brotherhood is good but other chapters may be assholes or isolationist. The enclave despite being divided, they still focus on their main goal. the BoS is too divided in completely autonomous chapters making then completely different depending in the place and time (the outcast became maxon's brotherhood)

This is what makes me so split on the Brotherhood. On the one hand, the people among them are still people and deserve life. But at the same time, they're a bunch of asshole shitheads that kill anyone they disagree with and anyone they feel they can. I mean a fucking explosive collar?! Sound familiar to anyone who played Dead Money?
Its a shame this outcome doesn't have a follow up where you join a ranger veteran strike team or something to destroy the bunker, would be a fun thing for a House playthrough where you're also a hero to the NCR.
i've played through new vegas twice, both times i did the ncr ending and both times i made a truce between the brotherhood and the ncr. its real handy having some paladins at your side during hoover damn, but not as helpful as those old man enclave remnants!! cannibal johnson is a beast
The Brotherhood should have put a bug* in that collar. Just be like: "Yeah, nah. Don't send the hit team just yet. A ranger was bound to start poking around here. We lucked out with that guy." * edited, silly auto correct on phone
Yea, the first time I've found them I completely destroyed every single one. Fallout new Vegas was the first fallout I played, so for me the brotherhood wasn't more than arrogants playing with fire. Tho my fight started when they didn't allowed me to leave (didn't want to give gun, without it they would in fact be stronger than I) BTW, I found their bunker just walking around xD (Edit: No, it probably was the dead patrol, because I had the password, was over 10 years ago don't remember)
the funniest part to me still is how quickly the BoS descend on you when the guy doesn't even fully believe you it makes sense. but still, tis very funny when you could be laying out an elaborate ruse and then suddenly a BoS kill squad shows up and then your plan goes out the window
Hot take, Colonel Autumn had good intentions and its ashame that we couldnt play as them in Fallout 3 (with the exception of the 'president' giving you the FEV)

I never understood why we hadn't the option of joining the Enclave, there has been some rare exceptions of them recruiting wastelanders so...why not the player character? Especially since Autumn is one of the very few (if not the only one) reasonable Enclave officer
@@gorsyyits a bit insane for when you do that with every possible faction or people that can directly help you at the dam battle and you have a hitsquad 4 times worse than the legion ones with a bunch of khan, enclave remnants, brotherhood, NCR ranger, etc. The legate in that playthrough got killed with me only walking backwards
@@bypy3550 the legate should have ran the instant he saw a guy in power armor with a minigun with multiple ex enclave members following him+a half robot dog.
I used to play the game up to the quest For Auld Lang Syne, learn power armor training and go to hidden valley to activate this quest, I would tell the ranger about the bos and run away to where i have a stashed bos power armor, You would have 4 bos Paladins follow you as companions once you have the power armor on
Obsidian returning the BoS to their original roots of being reclusive freaks that treats all outsiders as a threat was a brave move when Bethesda was working on making them the ultra marketable 2nd mascots of the franchise.

All my dealing with the govt. (any form of govt. City, County, State, or Federal) they want money "first" before doing anything. And usually CASH in hand.
I feel like too many people hate the BOS group of FNV I do wish they had some more uses in the game but also think about it, they are at an almost extinction level in this game, they have a decent right to be paranoid
That Ranger was a real one tho honestly. Most of the Rangers you meet seem to be generally good people, except for that A-hole wanting to murder the prisoners at Forlorn Hope
I never met the BoS without Veronica in NV so this was new to me and now it makes sense why on all endings they suggest you to destroy them, i just can't understand the obsession to make the brotherhood weak and pathetic, they used to be the strongest faction on fallout 1, by fallout 2 they were non existent just a ghost, by fallout 3 and 4 bethesda tried to make them great again, but come one f2 and Nv are from the original team and that faction was their face how could they hate that faction that much.

@@cymrawd_foulkesie You never told me the reason why you are commenting this on a video with nothing to do with fallout 3 or the enclave
I never understood why we hadn't the option of joining the Enclave, there has been some rare exceptions of them recruiting wastelanders so...why not the player character? Especially since Autumn is one of the very few (if not the only one) reasonable Enclave officer
Because the enclave are comically evil super villains who wanted to kill everyone, leave earth, and start over?
This was the best play through of this mission. A 36% Sniper Elite Head shot that folded A Paladin!!!
Thanks bro!
Dont know why but the BoS always looked scary in new vegas for some reason
Dobson voice is the same voice of CJ from GTA San Andreas? My head can't stop thinking about CJ 😂
I prefer to Ally the NCR and Brotherhood for the Dam
I did that too
@@gorsyyits a bit insane for when you do that with every possible faction or people that can directly help you at the dam battle and you have a hitsquad 4 times worse than the legion ones with a bunch of khan, enclave remnants, brotherhood, NCR ranger, etc.
The legate in that playthrough got killed with me only walking backwards
@@bypy3550 the legate should have ran the instant he saw a guy in power armor with a minigun with multiple ex enclave members following him+a half robot dog.
@@Damian-cilr2 not even joking thats a quarter if the people that came inside with me... it was comedic at best
can you even get out of this interaction peacefully if you don’t meet the speech requirements to lie about it?
Played FNV more than I care to admit but never took that option, damn I love this game
I used to play the game up to the quest For Auld Lang Syne,
learn power armor training and go to hidden valley to activate this quest,
I would tell the ranger about the bos and run away to where i have a stashed bos power armor,
You would have 4 bos Paladins follow you as companions once you have the power armor on
He sure likes to wear that hat right on the edge...
never noticed elder mcnamaras voice actor is yuri
Obsidian returning the BoS to their original roots of being reclusive freaks that treats all outsiders as a threat was a brave move when Bethesda was working on making them the ultra marketable 2nd mascots of the franchise.
ive actually never had the collar on me before I dont think and ive done so many playthroughs lol
seems it was a bad idea to combine a t45 helmet with a t51 armor that Antimaterial rifle send him back to hell
A pointless bomb collar is going to stop me from sharing my secrets? Hell no.
Every time Yuri Lowenthal does a posh accent I can only think of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.
Also imagine interacting with those disgusting techno-luddites in any way other than at the end of a muzzle.
at least Lyon’s chapter and Maxson’s chapter weren’t so fuckin aggressive. I’d take the FO3 Operation Anchorage Outcasts over the Mojave chapter any day
"they are hinding here"
"Thats Bullshit bro"
*Get ambushed by paladins 2 seconds later*
"Perhabs i should have more faith in you"
I love the description.
Thank you
How's that the guy saw you with that thing in your neck and didn't say anything until you mentioned it?
Fallout Logic bro
Obsidian
Maybe it was raider kink gear
Did this in my first playthrough and got soft locked fighting the brotherhood lol
The only problem with this route is that you then need 100% Lockpicking to re-enter their base to destroy it.
If you minmax, lockpicking is one of the first maxed out skills.
@@dergrim224 It's 5 levels if you min max without books. Though you can probably keep it at 90 and just tap a skill book each time you need a special lock opened.
What, when I did that Dobson didn't disarmed my collar and I was blown up
FOR THE REPUBLIC
Holy crap what happens if you DON'T have an anti-materiel rifle???
That’s Sasuke Uchiha 😮😮😮
You had the AMR with you but usually you come to this bit fairly early in the game or mid game. Like if you don’t have a strap with you this is a pretty tough encounter.
What happens next??? I’m interested. Damn I wish I had time to play…
NCR rep. Thats all
Really could've used a guy like dobson back in the sierra madre
I feel like 30% means something different in NV compared to Xcom. In Xcom 30% might as well be 0%
What happens when you meet Veronica after this? Does she have COS(clobber on sight)orders? Can still conversate with her up to a point to inevitable hostile action?
This is why I join the Outcast!!!
I like Dobson. Seems like a chill guy that is easy on locals but could've taken those 3 BoS dudes himself with maybe a few injuries atfer the fight
All my dealing with the govt. (any form of govt. City, County, State, or Federal) they want money "first" before doing anything. And usually CASH in hand.
Is it possible to reverse infamy after this? Would be hilarious to see if there’s any reactions
Elder is voiced by the same guy as sasuke 😂
I feel like too many people hate the BOS group of FNV I do wish they had some more uses in the game but also think about it, they are at an almost extinction level in this game, they have a decent right to be paranoid
The ranger is chill
Yeah, for my next playtrough this is the pth but I need the PA training and resources from the BOS before Caesar can walk the mojave.😊
you can do for auld lang syne and get it alot easier and alot faster (plus you get some sick enclave armour)
@@Sucullentbutterwhat did you say
@@Sucullentbutterdid you say if you do Arcade quest and gather the Enclave you’ll get power armor training?
@@colonel1003 yes
4:50 Having to aim manually...a console gamer's biggest fear
Well, I know what I’m doing next time I play
"ok so u wernt kiddin"
That Ranger was a real one tho honestly. Most of the Rangers you meet seem to be generally good people, except for that A-hole wanting to murder the prisoners at Forlorn Hope
What prisoners?
How come the collar didnt explode ?
He defused it
@@gorsyy How do you defuse it ?
@@bigdre7628 The ranger does it if u mention it
@@gorsyy thx, next play through i'm gonna try it
So that's what happens if you don't sneak in or take best girl with you.
Damn how many people does yuri voice
So many
I never met the BoS without Veronica in NV so this was new to me and now it makes sense why on all endings they suggest you to destroy them, i just can't understand the obsession to make the brotherhood weak and pathetic, they used to be the strongest faction on fallout 1, by fallout 2 they were non existent just a ghost, by fallout 3 and 4 bethesda tried to make them great again, but come one f2 and Nv are from the original team and that faction was their face how could they hate that faction that much.
ENCLAVE all day every day
I will never betray the brotherhood
What happens after? If you dont kill the brotherhood and talk to veronica while hated by them? Will she let you inside the base?
Actually you can make veronica as companion as long you dont take her to base...in base she 1st starts to kill some bos then disagrees
How come at 4:53 the brother hood guy had a t45 helmet on instead of t51
What happens if you talk to him before you talk to the brotherhood of steel?
Question what happens if i enter the bunker disguised
They wont realize who you are until you speak to the elder i believe
@@gorsyy so it still ends with me taking care of the ranger?
3:02 tommy vercetti 😂
You took 15 years from me Sonny…
Imagine being in power armor, and getting sat down by a mailman and goof of a sheriff 🤡
Dont act like we are not equivalent to an large armed militia
@@gorsyya reasonably sized militia. I figured since they are obsessed with power armor, they’d have at least read the user manual on how to fight with it
