    Fictional "Villains" Who Did Nothing Wrong Thread

    They are okay with capturing or utilizing an institute scientist to get Liberty Prime functional again, and reprogramming PAM. IMO this was just that all the known institute tech was either seriously incompatible with brotherhood philosophy, stupidly and pointlessly evil, useless, or a...

    The institute's tech was almost exclusively retarded and harmful shit with almost no upsides. Like, there's the FEV, which given the BoS was literally started by going rogue over disgust with FEV trials, they're not going to want to touch. The synths the BoS has ideological issues with... and...

    Mending the split with the outcasts would be something that'd be pretty hard to convincingly lie about though. Like if the Brotherhood Outcastes were still around that would be something that would be hard to hide. Him mending the split also makes sense- Maxson's Eastern Brotherhood has pretty...

    They're implied to be in contact, at least- Arthur Maxson is stated to have the support of the Western Elders (Although given the comparative success of the Eastern Brotherhood over the Western, this is probably a rubber stamp, but still shows contact and coordination). The East Coast Chapter is...

    I missed that they lost control of the Capitol and Citadel per FO4. Per the wiki, the situation is pretty different, although I'm not sure how accurate that is. This is definitely true in F:NV, but neither faction appears at all outside that game. They're definitely the big dogs in their own...

    Why do you think this? The Brotherhood seems like it’s much more prevalent and arguably seems to be the organization with the most power on a continental scale in Fallout.

    Agree, but the Imperium is pretty clearly the setting hero though- almost all sympathetic viewpoint characters are imperial, they're clearly one of the better factions, and if someone is ever going to be a straight up hero, they're almost invariably imperial.

    It's entirely possible for both someone and their enemies to avoid wrongdoing and behave honorably. If unobtanium is necessary or greatly beneficial for humanity to secure it's existence and future in the stars, then it's not just permissible, those in a position to do so are morally required to...

    Any treaty signed immediately post-Hundred Years War in which the Earth Kingdom did not have the support of the Avatar was effectively signed at gunpoint, since it was just pretty definitively shown that the Fire Nation could take whatever they wanted if they wanted to. Also, a hundred years is...

    Neolib detected. Republic City was rightful Earth Empire clay. The idea that industrialization is somehow inherently Stalinist is ridiculous, and the Earth Kingdom badly needed it to avoid being reduced to a backwater for the more industrialized Fire Nation, Republic City, and Northern Water...

    half-joking. Most villains get a few obligatory ridiculously over the top and unnecessary bits of villainy to make sure that we all know they're villains. Also a lot depends on what canon we're considering canonical. Palpatine doesn't actually do much either way in the OT. In the PT, Palpatine...
