For a game that is supposed to give you freedom of choice, Bethesda could have at least given the option for players to join the Enclave. ---- "God bless the Enclave. God bless America."
you don't know the Enclave then, if you know the Enclave's ideology, philosophy and whatnot then you'd know that they will never allow any filthy, mutant, wastlander or outsider in their organization, as they see anyone outside the Enclave fit only for slavery or eradication to make room for the true citizens of America, themselves (alteast in their minds), so it wouldn't make sense to make them joinable
I fits story wise your concerned about, Bethesda could come up with something. Your character's story in Fallout 3 was he is supposedly born in a Vault. Its not true, but the Enclave does not know that.
Bethesda has some really talented people so they would've made a storyline that would make sense for players to join the Enclave if they wanted to. Not that it matters anymore as the Enclave is dead. Triple dead (Oil Rig, Raven Rock, and then Nellis).
I do know the Enclave. I never played Fallout 2 but I did play 3 and what I did not know I researched and read about on the wiki. Pretty much joining the Enclave is almost no different from Bethesda giving players the choice to join Caesar's Legion or blowing up Megaton. Its all about player choice and there have been far worse games that have you do pretty bad stuff in a real world setting (GTA comes to mind). In Fallout games you have the option to cannibalize corpses and murder people in cold blood (practically you can shoot anyone in the game). Enclave isn't that far off. It might be a whole other degree of killing, but in the end its just a game. I'm not going to loss sleep bec. of exterminating megabits of computer programs in a virtual world environment on a computer screen.
