The Fallout games have featured several different chapters of the Brotherhood of Steel, each different in its own way. Even the isometric Fallout era was described as "a bit fanatical," but the chapters in the Amazon show seem to have a particularly old-world religious tinge to them, according to the self-described "brain rot theory" proposed by OmegaSpartan256 in the Fallout subreddit, and maybe there There may be a good reason for this. What if the West Coast branch of the Brotherhood seen on the show is a consolidation of the beliefs of Caesar's Army?

As they say, "Maximus? Titus? Thaddeus? Maximus? Titus? Thaddeus? Quintus?" These are all names given to the person who raised Legion. In the game, we have met Brotherhood of Steel members with slightly mythical-sounding names like Jacob, Mary, Arthur, and Tristan, but as OmegaSpartan256 points out, they are given more typical names that are "never Latin/Roman" and . often.

"Also, just as the Legion erased the identity of the conquering tribe, the Brotherhood erased the Legion, but only nominally. They retain much of what the Legion has come to be known for and are very likely to accept it, at least as a custom."

Incense and branding all make sense as a way to appeal to the old-fashioned Legion members you are trying to synthesize into a power armor club. But the "big kicker," as this theory goes, comes down to the flag. In the show, the Brotherhood carries red and yellow flags. (Of course, who has a red and yellow flag in the Fallout game Caesar's Legion?

I do not believe this theory is 100% correct, and neither does OmegaSpartan256. But this is a show executive produced by Jonathan Nolan, and if you've seen his other show, Westworld ("Fallout" is more than a little like it), you know that he likes long setting twists.

The West Coast Brotherhood may not have absorbed the remnants of the Legion after the events in New Vegas. Still, we cannot dismiss the possibility that Nolan will embed some twist in "Fallout" that has yet to be unraveled. Especially since gamers are too busy obsessing over the nonsensical theory that a TV show makes New Vegas non-canon, instead of actually watching a TV show that is not only a great TV show, but one that clearly has love for all games. Yes, including "New Vegas."
