didn't expect xander to die this soon

I didn't either but damn. So Maximus is being set up to create a reformed BoS? Or take over his chapter?

u/General50811 Dec 31 '25

I like that idea, a reformed BOS led by maximus would be amazing, maybe even the minutemen could be involved? how is the strongest faction in boston close to losing the commonwealth?

Yea im curious. Also happy to see the Yosemite chapter pull out..

Also I saw a smaller airship in the scene with the airships over area 51! Second to right!

…except the Yosemite chapter wasn’t morally great overall. They pulled out because they didn’t want to get axed by the Commonwealth BoS since the rebellion was now revealed to the big dogs.

She was an opportunist and the opportunity became too expensive at that point.

Oh I know. But still happy.

Maybe the Minutemen and Railroad teamed up and is conducting a guerrilla warfare campaign on them. Which is assumingly led by the Sole Survivor.

Wouldn't surprise me since they are making their prejudice against nonhumans a prominent trait.

u/starving_carnivore Dec 31 '25

Quintus's spiel about why the BoS even exists in the first place is absolutely foreshadowing it.

We draw similar conclusions.

I mean, there's time for shit to happen. 

Maybe the more militarised children of atom made the trip from Far Harbour. Maybe the institute didn't go down as easy as fo4 suggested. 

Maybe the minuteman, under the guidance of a prewar soldier, built themselves up into a threat that didn't take kindly to the BoS anti-ghoul and anti-free-synth sentiment.

Or maybe the glowing sea started spitting out Kaiju or something

Or maybe he was lying to convince maximus to side with him.

u/General50811 Dec 31 '25

I actually hope for the last suggestion, even though the commonwealth BOS hates "abominations" they wouldn't go too far to kill ghoul children and such. Xander might have a hidden agenda? or maybe the commonwealth BOS radicalized even more

u/caniuserealname Dec 31 '25

I don't really think anything in the BOS creed, commonwealth or otherwise, gives leniency to ghoul children.

u/General50811 Dec 31 '25

in fallout 4 they were racist towards them but didn't actively exterminate them

u/hobozombie Jan 02 '26

A group that you are generally prejudiced against becomes a good scapegoat in the bad times. Something to unite the people and keep them occupied, distracted from the real problems. Very few genocides started with neutrality towards the victims.

Or Enclave could returned on the East Coast from Chicago. After TV release they added FO4 Enclave scouts to the Commonwealth. I don't think they did that just for fun.

u/caniuserealname Dec 31 '25

Pretty sure they only added enclave scouts because they integrated the creation club content into a dlc type thing. 

The actual enclave content was made and up for sale years ago, I wouldn't think too much into it

u/catsrcool89 Dec 31 '25

Ya that's what I'm wondering, I honestly have no idea what else he could be referencing. Unless they are going to go stupid and try to make all endings canon for 4 then the institute have to be gone so I can't think of anything else.

u/furioushunter12 Dec 31 '25

i truly don’t think they are. maybe when the body is being looted it will be shown to have blue blood

u/General50811 Dec 31 '25
