100% sure. See:

After the events of F3 they will assemble their remaining troops and probably hump like rabbits and 50 years later we'll have a new breed of soldiers ready for action.

The denizens of Vault City likely counted as mutants from the Enclave's strict viewpoint: they had lived in the wasteland for decades and required outside assistance just to reproduce. The events surrounding Vault 13 were partly due to chance: it had been opened before it was supposed to be, creating two groups from the same gene pool: one "mutated," and one "pure," an ideal group for their FEV experiments. The Enclave as it existed in Fallout 2 would have likely rounded up the people of any vaults that were still sealed or whose populations had not screwed up their biology the way the Vault 8 residents had, after they unleashed their plot. Furthermore, President Richardson said that they had been prepared for the war, he only cited the Oil Rig and the vaults specifically, but he could have had other places in mind too.

Having said this, I hope their presence is small to nonexistent in future Fallout games.

If anyone would actually look at what the Enclave does, and ignores the dogma, you'd see that the Enclave is willing to have mutants among them, so long as they serve the goals of the Enclave, for example Frank Horrigan and the talking deathclaws before they rebelled. And if they'd be willing to let these abominations live then they probably are more accepting of wastelander recruits than they're party line implies.

They were only interested in the deathclaw whilst they could control them....

And Horrigan wasn't an outsider. He was born in the enclave.

I'm a supporter of the Enclave.


It's just, no one takes the time to think about we're doin'. They do whats right but those [censored] wastelanders dont wanna accept that things might get better for once.

Uh, did you just refer to the enclave as 'we'



The enclave are pure, that's right, pure. They all have the same surname and family medical history

I think the Enclave should only appear as isolated fragments or deserters from now on. It makes sense them sending a lot of troops to DC (as it was the nations capital), but in New Vegas, if it takes place in the future, I ESPECIALLY don't want Enclave.

They could use cloning, like "Gary", but since most of their major hiding places are now destroyed. I'm not sure they can keep up with cloning? Unless they have a secret vault somewhere, that they only use for cloning? Not the vault in FO3.
