    Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t recall the BoS doing the whole 40k “sacred rites of the machine” thing. Their society was modelled on medieval monks by the writers, but their beliefs don’t really match up.

    Also booooo do something new with the setting you fucking cowards. Not every piece of media from a franchise needs to contain all the most famous things from that franchise.

      Yes. They hoard pre-war tech, they don’t religious about it. Not even in the Bethesda games are they ever religious about it.

          The BoS chaplain is, in the lore, supposed to be the go-between of the scribes and the soldiers, basically the armored scientist who has the scientific know-how to know if a site is actually worth further investigation or occupation. Because of this they are also generally in command of larger objective sites.

          They are not ‘religious leaders’ except in the idea that they are the ‘heralds of prewar science’.

      This is just a bastardization of Bethesda Fallout, which itself is a bastardization of FO1/FO2.
