The official theory from back in 2017 can be found here: I'll admit I left a few holes in my theory by failing to acknowledge the original Enclave's armor. In that theory I gave an explanation of the history of the Chicago contingent as well as a brief summary of the history behind the Enclave's move from the New California Poseidon Energy Off-Shore Oil Platform facility to the Raven Rock facility in the Capitol Wasteland. Please remember this is a theory and has no impact on the official source material.īack in 2017 I posted a theory comparing the Power Armor from Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel belonging to the Chicago Chapter aka the 'Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel' with that of the Enclave's Advanced Power Armor aka the X-02 Power Armor from Fallout 3.

However my theories ignore the statements made by Todd Howard on the grounds that the minor conflicts in continuity. DISCLAIMER: I'm fully aware that Bethesda Executive Todd Howard has stated that he does not consider Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel or Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel to be canonical to the Fallout Franchise as of the Bethesda Game Studios release of Fallout 3 which took over as the primary continuation of the Fallout Franchise in place of the cancelled 'Fallout 3' title codenamed 'Van Buren' originally created by Black Isle Studios prior to being bought out by Bethesda.
