It depends on your angle, after at least a week, the concensus seems to be that whether you like it or loathe it is dependant on one thing:
Did you play Fallout New Vegas?
If you did or at least two, you aren't going to like as much. Especially how they treat the lore and some characters. A key one would be Mr House as this theory craft is if he got the platinum chip before the bombs fell but now they are saying he was there on planning day for when the nukes fell?
A lot of the 'it's a woke piece of shit' narrative isn't carrying as well as lore issue aspects as it also feeds into the 40k drama too of Amazon fucking up established lore to grandstand.
I’m not as aware of the lore and like it, so that sounds accurate. Just someone that played the Fallout’s back in the day when they came out and like it. Played 1-3 and Brotherhood of Steel as I recall it was called, but not the ones after. Brotherhood never got the love it deserved I thought. That was actually the first one I played.
The problem the Brotherhood have is that they are the poster boys for the fallout series at large, the only time they weren't on the front cover of the game itself was 2 for the Enclave and New Vegas for the NCR rangers.
It does mean that there is little room to do something interesting with them, at least with Bethesda writers. In 3 they tried to have a breakaway chapter going East and more inclined to recruiting for members to a lesser degree than the tactics version causing a split with the hardline Outcasts but Bethesda ruined that themselves with 4 removing a lot of that development to paint them as hardline extremists which with their bad writing, didn't work.
Compare this to New Vegas, a chapter on the decline, hiding from the NCR and one path has them signing a peace treaty with them for survival. There was a lot more to explore with them not front and centre similar to the Enclave remnants.
