I have been wondering about this for a while. Some people here seem fanatially devoted to BoS and hey, thats ok and all... But I dont undestand why. So please... if you would, enlighten me. Whats the attraction?

(And please no flames or pissing contests). Its a genuine question that I am genuinely interested in knowing the answer of.

From what I know (which isn't a lot) from them in Fallout 3, maybe it's the fact that they try to use all the pre war tech for the good of the people. Or that they're rock solid, as shown by their wiping out the inhabitants of the Pitt, despite being outnumbered and outgunned.
