As always, BoS steal the show, though I have to say the Legion are surprisingly charming and personable for pretensious barbarian slavers with delusions of grandeurs.

Are BoS in this always good relative to others? Or are there other factions that do no evil also? Please avoid spoilers if possible.

Actually, the BoS are actually pretty antagonistic in this game. In the first three games, they just happened to oppose the baddies, but in this game, they oppose everyone who isn't them. You will definitely see their nasty side in this game.

Interesting. Thanks for the reply.

If you had to say so, is there one faction that's more good than the rest? Unless it's revealed in a major plot twist or something, please let me know since I'm trying to do a good karma playthrough.

I love the BoS in this game, definitely a different dynamic.

It's kind of funny in that the East Coast Brotherhood is basically what Veronica wants the West Coast Brotherhood to be, and they're succeeding at it; all she needs to do for proof is contact the Lyons Brotherhood. :P

The Followers are definitely the "nancy boy goody two shoes", if you will. Aside from them, I'd actually call the Kings one of the better factions morally speaking, surprisingly enough. I love how they turned out, the Kings are awesome.

NCR and the Brotherhood are probably about even in terms of "goodness" in this game, with the NCR being a bit ahead. Both are pretty neutral on the good/bad scale.

Actually, Veronica knows about the Lyons brotherhood. She mentions how one chapter had a small civil war over the big 'altruism vs. isolationism' debate. Presumably, she's referring to the East Coast.

Yea, the Outcasts said they had dispatched messengers to the West Coast. The West Coast Brotherhood doesn't seem to be aware of the extent of the success of the Lyons Brotherhood post-Broken Steel, though; Veronica certainly would have mentioned it if she was.
