Just an fyi, I haven't actually beaten the game yet (I still spend most of my time on Oblivion and when I do play I roleplay each day at a time) so i'm workign on what information i've gathered from readign and checking the Vault Wiki.

So, you chhose to play nice witht he BoS and eventually end up a Paladin. Lets say you genuinly believe in the ideals of the Brotherhood. You also keep McNamara as leader and convince him to play nice with the NCR... for now.

Then you discovered a delightful army of very powerful robots that are (supposedly) under you command after following the Skyne- I mean Yes Man questline. You take over New Vegas and thats that really.

But, i'm not sure if the ending slides cover it, my midn wanders interesting locations.

Such as, from a storyline POV, if you are a loyal member of the Brotherhood you could potentially hand over 'control' of Yes Man/the robot force to McNamara and then the Brotherhood could use it to force out the NCR in true, and take New Vegas as a foothold therefor restoring at least their chapter to some form of power so they could focus on rebuilding what they lost? Or since I haven't actually managed to play through those two questlines am I missing something?

It's just nice to think I could potentially make a BoS character that doesn't end up part of a seemingly dying faction.
