Its not just because bethesda says. Its because your so quick to assume there DEAD. There are some still out there and there is evidence of this...
We know there is a chance they are still out there in Chicago. No one is saying that Chicago doesn't count. It is just that if you follow logic and evidance given in, the three Fallout games, one comes to the conclusion they arn't coming back as a poweful faction. They are just remnants now. It is simple logic, why can't people get this?
The only reason I can think of is that I already posted. They just want every Fallout to be BoS vs Enclave, same old crap over and over. They don't care about logic and Fallout. They just want cool toys :rolleyes:
Dead as in not coming back as a powerful faction, future Fallout antagonist. They have already been the antagonist twice now. Enough is enough.
I am not tying to convince you Ace cause it is clearly I can't. I just don't get why you want them to come back?
