they are far from doing that, they are the only one out there that actually product new prewar and make new postwar tech.
What I was referring to was the Purifier. They steal it, claim it as theirs, so they can be the heroes. What would've happened if we didn't stop them? I'm guessing they would've charged the wastelanders to buy it, and with the FEV virus, there would be just about no one left.
Hey, I don't get why so many people dislike BoS. Sure they can be arrogant at times, and maybe it doesn't look like they're going out of their way to help the wastelanders. But think about, they're doing all they can with limited resources.
They're in DC, getting rid of the Muties.
They're the ones selling the purified water for free.
They're the guys who're stopping the Enclave killing innocent wastelanders.
They're the troops who don't kill any wastelanders on sight.
They're the people who actually remotely care.
They're the people who support GNR, to let the
REAL word get out.
They're the heroes.
And remember: They're different from the other BoS, out west. Sure, they strayed from their original mission to search for tech, and many people say that this is their downfall, as they are wasting their time on the little things, not thinking about perhaps the long-term future. Well, if they had stuck with their original mission, what state would the wasteland be in? A bad one, for sure. Now they actually do something good out there in the wastes.
EDIT: Oh, and sorry about the big BoS post. A bit off-topic, but I just wanted to say that. Got carried away.
