oh yeah, that was the part of the quest where I decided I smash his frail little head it with my nine iron.
"When you want to destroy the Brotherhood, you want to destroy me."

(the character of my latest playthrough)
Eh, The Brotherhood have been shadows of their former selves since Fallout 2, they were only cool in Fallout. Now though, the BoS are just LARPers with real toys. At the end of the day, the Brotherhood of Steel is a blight on the common good of humanity. NCR, House, the smaller settlements of the day, they are all progressing to a sense of normality and Pre-War decadence. The Brotherhood is a paramilitary group of self righteous fools. If they actual presented any aid to the wasteland to progress, sure, but all they do is steal weapons and tech to do what? Use on others. In the end, they are the very thing they fight with tech that according to the Codex would bring the apocalypse.
