The Brotherhood of Steel operating in the Mojave Wastes should be radically different from the Brotherhood on the East Coast. For one thing, they should have more advanced power armor than the T-45d model, namely the T-51b. But they should also have warriors armed in advanced combat armor because in the original games it was mainly the Paladins who were armed with Power Armor while the Knights were given combat armor and even operated more civilian roles such as manufacturing equipment.
It's also important to note that they don't share the idealistic views of Elder Lyons who sought to help the people of the Capital Wasteland but rather a more isolationist policy. In short, they should be more like the Outcasts than Lyons soldiers, something made even more possible by the fact that, according to certified sources, they just recently had a war with the NCR.
It is certaintly known that they are in some sort of conflict, whether amongst themselves or against the NCR once again is currently unknown. Whatever it was must have been pretty big to have the descendent of Maxson sent to the East Coast. Then again it has been three years...
In short, simply gaining the trust of the Brotherhood should be a small mountain to climb. But the equipment they might have to reward us with would be awesome.
