History VideoGame / FalloutBrotherhoodOfSteel

The first ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' game to reach the consoles. Released by Creator/InterplayEntertainment in 2004, it is viewed quite negatively by some fans due to several changes to the format, such as the soundtrack (for some reason, no longer the classic soundtrack and instead provided by Slipknot and Killswitch Engage amongst others) and general contradictions to ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' canon. It is apparently considered CanonDiscontinuity by Bethesda Softworks.

* NonIndicativeName: For a game subtitled "Brotherhood of Steel", the Brotherhood barely shows up at all. The only Brotherhood members who show up are Paladin Rhombus and the Initiate (who doesn't doesn't look anything like your average Brotherhood member at all.)

[[RunningGag The Texas Wasteland is]] ''[[SubvertedTrope not]]'' [[RunningGag an okay place to live]] -- there's raiders, mutants, and the occasional pests who plague the wasteland. That is why the Brotherhood was supposedly cleaning house here. While hunting for mutants, raiders and tech, of course, they all go missing in the town of Carbon and you are sent to find them before they are pilfered by the Raiders. Oh, the Vault Dweller from ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 1}}'' is also here. Apparently, he took a WrongTurnAtAlbuquerque and is now in the Texan Wasteland along with Rhombus.

* InternetBacklash: ''And how!'' Interplay closed down ''their own official forum'' for the game due to it being filled with hate posts for the game.

* FragileSpeedster: Nadia. She has lower health than the other two characters and can't use heavy weapons, but she's quick and proficient with [[GunsAkimbo dual guns]].

* AnArmAndALeg: Attis cuts off the player's arm. You get a replacement.

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: For some bizarre reason, in one sidequest you face off against [[spoiler: The Vault Dweller]] despite him having been on your side in the first chapter.

* ObligatorySwearing: The game aimed for a more humorous and in-your-face style, which involved quite a lot of swearing in the dialogue.

* [[spoiler:YouNukeEm: A nuclear explosive is built into the Secret Vault as an emergency SelfDestructMechanism in the case of a biological disaster. The Initiate activates it and then escapes in order to destroy the heavily mutated Super Mutant leader Attis.]]

* CanonDiscontinuity: Rather odd, because the game actually contains less contradictions than ''VideoGame/{{Fallout Tactics|BrotherhoodOfSteel}}'', which is only BroadStrokes. Though considering the [[RuinedFOREVER fan reaction]] to this game, this may have been for the best.
