I'm still on my first play through. I'm with the NCR because I think they are the beast bet for the Wasteland. With the Enclave gone they are the only ones with technology that can help. The Brother Hood of Steel does have better tech, but they will not help the outsiders. The true Brother Hood of Steel are actually what Fallout 3 considers the Outcasts. Off topic: The Enclave really were America's best bet to returning to a normal country. -They had the best technology. -They had the best military. -The Modified FEV Strain would actually be a good thing to America. Even though it would kill humans who had suffered even mild radiation or airborne FEV exposure. It would kill every super mutant, every raider group major threats like the Legion and Ghouls. Most Ghouls are peaceful, but they are completely useless. When the majority of your countries population died off and food and water are scarce. The last thing you want to do is give them to a group of people that can't reproduce.
