I thought it was cool the first few times the BoS swooped down and attacked the target I was sneaking up on (I stealth everywhere, at night). The BoS loot after they frequently get their arses handed to them was kinda nice. Or if they cleaned out the raider scum in the area, I'd follow along and loot things up. But it is happening so often now, it's gotten pretty boring/annoying. It's like the game has two parts- the first part, where you play each area the way you want, and get to be the star... and the second part, where the BoS always busts in and messes things up first, and you end up being a glorified loot janitor. I think if the roving vertiberd assaults happened about 75% less frequently, it would be a tad more tolerable. Just seems way overdone, at this point in time. Hopefully they'll patch it to be less frequent eventually. Or a mod... kthxbai!

I haven't read any of this thread but the title is a massive spoiler that should have been expunged by the mods straight away. Shame on you, moderators.

I bet the OP likes to show his "The Usual Suspects" VHS to unsuspecting people just so he can swoop in at the last minute.

Minutemen hate who you hate, they shouldn't shoot at BoS vertibirds unless you do.

Gunner 'birds, though..

Jup as somebody already said unless you were at that point already enemy of BOS yourself Minuteman wudnt shoot at them, ofcourse Gunners can also use vertiberd form time to time so it was probably one of theirs and that is something Minuteman wud shoot at imediatly.

seems like if a Vertibird lands, and the BOS jump out to fight Gunners, one of the Gunners will jump into it, turning it into a Gunner Vertibird. I've never see a Gunner version just swoop out of the sky, it's always hijacked

I'm sorry if I spoiled any fun of yours. But I don't really consider this as a spoiler. Just some 'the BoS protects this land' things the player will randomly encounters, like what they always do in other fallout games. It's not like that the thread includes any plot or story.
