"Almost resulted in victory"? That's a load of bullshit and I would like to see you prove it. They did well at first, able to match the NCR. But ultimately, superior numbers and superior commanding led to NCR crushing the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood retreated, not the NCR, and the Brotherhood lost half of its chapter at Helios One. The NCR, though losing technically more soldiers, did not lose half of what they had in the Mojave. NCR, Caesar's Legion, and Mr. House all make the Brotherhood look like shit, to be blunt. Yes, the BoS could do better if they were not all stupid morons who refused to really recruit. But they are in fact stupid morons who refuse to recruit, which is one factor that makes them a weaker faction.
Sure, lemme bring up the game right now and take the screen shot of the dialogue.
It was in the game BoS.
Get over it.
Also, you show your ignorance of Fallout: the BATTLE of Helios One is NOT the NCR BoS War. Those are two different things.
Here's a brief history of the war and it sums it up decently (but could use more details and in game citations):

In Fallout 3, I can and have killed Deathclaws while wearing minimal armour and while using my bare hands. One the hardest difficulty.
While I cannot really do that in New Vegas to a Deathclaw, I can easily ****ing rape a Brotherhood member. My point is that you are using gameplay to support your argument, don't do it.
I disagree until you prove it. Doing so with minimal armor in an open room is near impossible. With your bare hands? You shouldn't even be able to damage the BoS character even with endurance maxed, you will still have difficulty inflicting damage in any amount of reasonible time. This is why I'm calling "bullsh*t" on your claim especially against a fully armored knight with a triple beam laser or other high damage weapons. There is an unarmed damage perk you can get that automatically negates 15 of the enemies DT, but with maxed out stats (including implants) and perks, it would take you 3-5 minutes to even kill them if they were standing still, much less firing on your with high powered weapons.
Tangent: Also, in fallout 3, I was able to kill a death claw with the power fist at only a level 6. I did not know what they were since it was my first time playing a fallout game. They were too easy to kill in Fallout 3.

But my point is, gameplay lol. The PC of Fallout 3 and NV are not as maneuverable as Jack is, for one, which makes the comparison faulty.
Wrong. Without using some of the other "agility" aspects of Bioshock, just gently running around in a circle is more than enough to take down a regular bid daddy withOUT plasmids or powerful weapons.
The comparison is perfect which should clearly show the huge difference between the ability to damage the same characters. There's actual damage systems in each game and with the revolver (I forget what it is called in Bioshock), you can take down a big daddy with little effort withOUT plasmids or any "awesome" stuff. In Fallout? Even with maxed percs and stats, you will have a hard time taking just a single BoS knight down who has a powerful weapon...assuming you just have the .357 revolver without mods. If you feel that the "stats" in agility are unequal between the two games...use the damn command console to prove me wrong: bump up your speed to match.

That just means you suck at Fallout though. And once more: GAMEPLAY MECHANICS. The fights being harder means very little. Is a single Spider Splicer difficult to beat? Not really, no. But a single Spider Splicer has shown to be capable of tearing through Brotherhood power armour as though it were cheese, and are demonstratably stronger than Super Mutants.
No, it means you are definitely lying, had no idea that I could call your bullsh*t bluff, and have little understanding of the dps/dt system in Fallout: New Vegas.
This entire argument is irrelevant since I already stated that I did not see the OP: I thought it was an average knight against an average big daddy...not the "big boys" of big daddy's.
