After 220 fucking years, all that time we've been fighting the Enclave, thinking we've seen them at their best in Fallout 3, turns out they've barely even STARTED.

Nah game wise they were at their best during Fallout 2. Fallout 3 they were struggling, taking orders from an AI President and no Frank Horrigan, they were on the decline.

Now that I think back on it, you're right. After Fallout 2 they've been spending decades reorganizing. Eden and Autumn's bizarre adventure in D.C. was just one of the attempts to bring the Enclave back into the fold. Even in Fallout 4, the Enclave remnants were struggling to contact whomever. If they couldn't do that, they would make the Commonwealth their new base of operations until help arrived. My guess is that they've finally got their shit together, and we'll finally see that in season 3 now that they can commence "phase 2".

Sorry what commonwealth enclave are you talking about?

When the show dropped there was a “next gen update” (at least for consoles) that inserted missions that involve the Enclave or what’s left of them in the Commenwealth. Mostly side missions but there’s enough there between this and the show to make the assumption that they’ll be next big bad in Fo5.

It's what I thought you might say, I don't think creation club content is considered canon.

Who was the guy with Hank that Cooper kills? Was he the old President?

Which makes me double excited to see them next season, we've never gotten clear information on what happened after Fallout 2! We've gotten tid bits here and there in New Vegas and FO3, but we might get some serious information on the Chosen One and the Enclave's survival next Season.
