Portal:Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel

Welcome to The Vault's portal dedicated to Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel!

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel abbreviated as FO:BoS, FOBOS, or simpy BOS, is an action game developed and produced by Interplay Entertainment for the Xbox and PlayStation 2 game consoles. Released on January 13, 2004, BoS was the fourth video game to be set in the Fallout universe and the first to be made for video game consoles.

The game chronicles the adventures of an initiate of the Brotherhood of Steel. Because of numerous inconsistencies with previous Fallout games, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is not considered part of the official Fallout canon, however some of its content could be used as "flavor" material.

The experimental deathclaws are a group of deathclaws unique to Secret Vault, a Vault-Tec installation which served as the company's ticket to a life after the apocalypse. Aside from many scientific projects that were to insure the company's power, some research with radioactive materials and FEV took place there. When the Initiate of Brotherhood of Steel visited the Vault, he encountered unique variants of the beast known all over the wastes.

The base concept for the setting is the World of Tomorrow as imagined in the Golden Age of Science Fiction. This means that before the Great War, the Fallout world was more or less what the people of the 1940s and 1950s thought things would be like in 2077.

But history after the second World War is not the only difference; the Fallout universe is also fundamentally different in terms of how science works (see Divergence).

The most important event in the Fallout setting was the Great War which happened on October 23, 2077. It lasted a mere two hours, but was unbelievably destructive and changed the world for centuries to come.
