TheFallout TV showcould be hiding a surprise spoiler in plain sight – and it’s one that fans ofFallout: New Vegaswould do well to pay close attention to.
Redditor OmegaSpartan256 posits a theory that will make you sit up and take notice (with a quick nod toPC Gamerfor the spot). The quick version? That the Brotherhood of Steel has merged with New Vegas faction Caesar’s Legion.
It’s here where the theory comes in. The Brotherhood of Steel in the Prime Video show all have oddlyuniquenames by the time they rise through the ranks in the group: Maximus, Titus, and Thaddeus are just a handful of the ones they know.
As the Reddit user goes on to suggest, the religious zealotry – such as branding – also makes it even more convincing that remnants of Caesar’s Legion has moved in and shaped the Brotherhood of Steel’s western branch to their liking.
Then, there’s the kicker: the Brotherhood of Steel’s red-and-yellow flag, which is seen occasionally throughout the first season. Who else uses that same color scheme? Hint: it’s not the Brotherhood of Steel in any other Fallout media; no, it’s Caesar’s Legion.
Honestly? We’re convinced. With theFallout season 1 endingbeing none-too-shy about setting up New Vegas as a location, it certainly feels like the Brotherhood of Steel hiding a Caesar’s Legion-shaped secret would be the perfect way to set the tone for the second season. Then, the potential for what’s next feels endless: Brotherhood of Steel Civil War, a (re) emergence of a new force in the wasteland, and picking up the pieces from New Vegas itself.
