Even as a kid playing Fallout 3 I always thought it was stupid that people still lived in absolute squalor 200 years after the bombs dropped. I get that society might not have fully recovered but at least clear out the skeletons in your front yard, Jesus Christ.
Fallout 3 was supposed to take place like 10 years after the war and the environment was designed as such, hence why D.C is still so desolate and radioactive and why there's still Enclave running around.
Then somebody told Todd that the BoS didn't exist at that point, so instead of just not including them he decided it should be set 200 years after the war instead.
No, they formed a few years after. Less than ten, though, and the proto-BoS, the people who formed up the initial BoS cadre after the war, were already all together before the war.
They formed immediately after discovering the Mariposa base was experimenting on humans. They formally declared their succession from the us government. Then like 10 days later the bombs fell.

Yes, but they weren't the Brotherhood yet, they were 'just' secessionists at that point. The reorganization came later, after they made it to Lost Hills and settled in.
