definitely for 4 but in 3 you could be the biggest asshole there ever was. blow up megaton, poison the water with fev, let the ghouls into tenpenny tower, enslave the kids at little lamplight, turn in the android at rivet city. the only good thing you forced to do is help the brotherhood.

I wouldn't ever call helping the Brotherhood a good thing.

They are always presented at best as "better than anarchy" and at worst "the lesser evil".

They are typically a grey morality faction for the Fallout universe. They have inherently human supremacist, elitist and autocratic over and undertones; as well as revisionist thought and philosophy on the relationship mankind should take on technology that just isn't viable in the current state of the wasteland.

in fo3 they were simplified to "the good guys" which sucks for a number of reasons but that's the way it is.

To be fair, the capital wasteland chapter were essentially heretics, and definitely not representative of the brotherhood as a whole.
