So the first time i encountered the Atom Cats i did their mission to "join" them...then i immediately butchered them. To me they felt like a taunting insult to both the Brotherhood and the Enclave...a bunch of idiots thinking they deserved to wear Power Armor but for some reason the BoS wasnt kicking down their front door. I took every scrap of their armor and removed the paint and stored the parts in a box which i considered a much better use of it. Anyone else share the sentiment?

I did wonder why BoS didn't care about them, but i certainly didn't do anything about it myself.

They're using their PA responsibly by protectibg locals. I mean yeah they look like they just walked out of a certain John Travolta musical and that's enough to make the Brotherhood cringe, but it's how the PA is used or to what end. This is probably why the Brotherhood looks the other way. The Atom Cats are a thorn in the Gunner's side too so I bet that's a plus.

Oh man, that is definitely not cool. I love those cats. That's where I bought the last pieces of X-01 that I needed. Rowdy is my girl.

PA was made to fight Tanks...in War...

Forreal. Zeke better watch it or I'm gonna creep on his girl.

They seem too goofy to kill

OMG Atom Cats are the best baby. Smooth to the groove and all that. Craziest hippest faction out there. My only regret is that there are no formal power armor races.

They came to help Cricket against Gunners in Quincy Ruins. That's cool in my book.

Oh you sir have problems! I have butchered your dear leader Maxson, with his carcass bent over in his skivvies against the Prydwen's rails as a retort to your misdeeds. Watch your back scav! If ever we should meet in the Commonwealth, I shall have you tossed from the top of the Mass Fusion building, much like the way General Oliver met his fate at FONV's Hoover Dam.

Well considering at the start I found some power armor and just galavanted around in it...I would be something of a hypocrite...nor do I support the brotherhood...
So...I'm not with you on this one.

you assume I had any sort of positive connection to Maxson or the BoS

So ideally a Trevor Philips who killed some people because they were wearing the iron underwear. But were not BOS...
I'm having trouble understanding your approach here...

i have to assume you can't see pictures or something...

Not a chance Jack. The Cats are my kind of people.

If you have some to help illustrate the reasoning behind your homicide...

i will let you figure it out with the picture already provided...I'm sure you will get it eventually...

The BoS WOULD hate those kind of people wouldn't they?

yeah that is part of my point, why are the BoS not taking away their PA by force?

I don't think Beth thought about it too much, so they expect us not to either.

Same reason they're not attacking Goodneighbor, I imagine.

They've got their hands full with Super Mutants, Raiders, and Feral Ghouls.

The Atom Cats aren't going to be a high priority until they've wiped out the Institute.

Same as killing the non-hostile nonhumans.

but why not give the player that ability? There is this runaway synth (who's name I forget) I encountered once. Upon her telling me she was a synth I was able to say "as a member of the BoS it is my duty to destroy you". Why not have this for the Atom Saps?

You said there was a photo. There is no photo.

there's a lot of areas they could expand on.

just to explain: you cannot post images on this forum (only links) so I will let you do the math...or maybe someone would like to help out
