I seem to keep finding solutions where you must blow up the BoS. As a member and companion of Veronica, blowing them up is totally unacceptable.

Let's take this over to the spoilers section, shall we?

Yes,



You're Welcome

Thank you Colonel.

Also you can talk your way out of killing the commander at the dam, you can unplug Mr.House but not kill him. Talk NCR into making peace with the BoS.

You can spare the BoS with Yes Man if you do the NCR questline up to the point where you have to make a treaty with the BoS. After that, you get their good Independent ending. P.S. DONT make Hardin the elder.

For Yes-Man you can ignore the BoS. NCR there is an option to ally with the BoS if the elder isn't replaced.

The other two paths want the BoS dead with no other options open.

Actually I don't think there is a path that you have to make your hands dirty......coz technically you didn't 'kill' them......directly.

If you have saved the president while working for NCR, and have already allied with BoS, you can still do the YesMan path.
YesMan is quite horrified to learn BoS have agreed to fight alongside the NCR. hmy:
"Great! A city run by robots - with technology that they don't control."
He then sarcastically says how they'll rest eventually, once he's dead...
But BoS will not appear in that ending and aren't mentioned again until the slideshow.
Pretty funny though - it's the first time you'll ever see YesMan actually seem worried by something, heheh.
Regards

The YesMan BoS quotes are hilarious. I especially like the one where, if you choose to "leave them alone," he says something sarcastically along the lines of "its a great idea to leave your future biggest enemies alone" or something. Classic.
