This. And really? Nearly all names in FO3 had meanings behind it.

I hope it goes both ways for the factions on which you join with bos or enclave.

Yeah, how many names from ancient Celtic/Welsh history are known to Americans. When the trailer came out it was all the Brits pointing out that it was Welsh before we then searched it up.

People keep looking at this from weird lore/canon angles. Consider this, who at Bethesda would know what "Prydwen" was? Either someone who know what Arthurian lore was or, more likely, they looked it up and used it obviously.

id say they put their civilians in a vault or probably 2, a 'home' basically a breeding center and a training base.

id say some enclave scientists got taken in by the BoS but more in a 'work for us and live' way than as members, the enclave troops are more difficult tho they are highly trained combat veterans they are also indoctrinated so untrustworthy. if i was to guess id say most enclave troops that survived the last battle where quietly killed when nobody was looking, the new recruits may have been spared and retrained and of course any officers will have been questioned for information but they would not live long once they had told all they knew

Possum... really? just some story? the legend of king arthur and his knights is a bit more than some story lmao! The brotherhood are knights, they even refer to themselves that way, half their ranks are named paladins, which is what Lancelot was which is considered a holy knight to someone unfamiliar with the term. I have no doubt they put alot of thought into that airship and the name, I also think they will have a pretty major part in the story since on this coast they are helping people(not that much, in f-3 but if player character is involved, i can see that changing, if the vault dweller becoming a paladin is canon.) which i can see interfering with the plans of nefarious groups in Boston(we already pretty much assume that MIT is bad lol, makes me want to join them first, more and more every time i hear it_)

Having just replayed Fallout NV and focused a lot on the Brotherhood and Veronica story lines while doing so I am now more convinced this is possible, that whole story-line was about the brotherhood needing to change, find a new role and new ways to connect with the outside world, no I feel very much that they could open their doors to the wasteland for recruitment and probably attempt to lead a war of conquest, either way the recruitment thing makes my theory and infiltration by surviving Enclave members seems more likely, hell they even have the airship to destroy go with it, at the very least I would suspect a brotherhood civil war to be seen.

It certainly not a 'cool' or well known name so that everybody who has read it has gone, "Oh, King Arthurs ship"......it seems a weird choice unless there is some in game reason Bethesda picked it.

Also a general point, the tech for building airships would be in all of the BOS's databases since its not as if the MWBOS discovered how to build airship after they split from BOS. I'm still hoping MWBOS wil make an appearance and I've used the fact that only MWBOS had used airships as evidence of that appearance, but really it was the west coast BOS who built those airships so any BOS faction should have the same knowledge of how to build them.

Veronica mentioned two BoS groups having a small civil war. She had to be referencing Lyons BoS and the Outcasts, but we never see them fight so i guess it happened after the events of Fallout 3.

I just witnessed the most strangest thing. a 3 way battle between some patrolling Outcast, patrolling Brotherhood of Steel and Enclave outpost. It was weird, there was a crap load of gatling laser fire, grenades and a Yao Guai in there as well for some reason. It appeared the BOS attacked the Enclave and drew in the Outcasts who appear to have one (with one Sentry bot left standing).
