The Brotherhood of Steel was never meant to be the good-guy faction of Fallout. Instead, the Brotherhood just sort of watchs his actions and cryptically comments on them. Only Fallout 2, I believe, has its main character never become a member. Virtually every game has the player character either as a member of the organization or possessing the option for joining them. Imagine a group of guys dressed up like Iron Man who can't fly but carry huge plasma rifles and wander through the Wasteland, killing monsters. What is the Brotherhood of Steel, you ask? Well if you don't know, you're probably not a fan of Fallout. This is toned down in Fallout: New Vegas where they're only side characters, much like in the original two Fallout games, but is in full-force during Fallout 3. Wolverine appears in virtually everything related to the X-men because he's, by far, their most popular member. The Brotherhood of Steel, excepting Fallout: Tactics and the much less well-received Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, has never been the focus of the series. The Brotherhood of Steel has been Fallout's signature organization since way back in Wasteland, Fallout's predecessor game. I actually think the faction is a lot more nuanced than that or, if they were written as heroes, they're actually of a very dubious sort. They claim the latter is treated as a group of white knights and heroes when they were previously a more ambiguous faction. However, one of the things which has always bugged me is the criticism of the game which focuses on the black and white conflict between the Enclave and the Brotherhood of Steel. Nothing is more interesting than traveling around the wasteland, exploring, and shooting Deathclaws or Enclave. It's not the game doesn't have flaws, it's just that I love the hybrid shooter-RPG's atmosphere and world-building. I'm a huge fan of Fallout 3 and consider it five or six on my favorite video games of all time.
