Fallout Brotherhood of Steel

The first Fallout game to reach the consoles. It was generally not well-received, and is viewed quite negatively by some fans. It is apparently considered Canon Discontinuity by Bethesda Softworks.

The Texas Wasteland is not an okay place to live -- there's raiders, mutants, and the occasional pests who plague the wasteland. That is why the Brotherhood was supposedly cleaning house here. While hunting for mutants, raiders and tech, of course, they all go missing in the town of Carbon and you are sent to find them before they are pilfered by the Raiders. Oh, the Vault Dweller from Fallout 1 is also here. Apparently, he took a Wrong Turn At Albuquerque and is now in the Texan Wasteland along with Rhombus.

Of course, it didn't matter to you. You are the Initiate, one of the three new recruits to the Brotherhood of Steel, with the unenviable task of finding what happened to the Paladins who have gone missing and bring them back. All while taking out anything that opposes you.

Tropes

 * Beam Spam: The Continuous Fire Laser and Turbo Plasma Rifle fill this role.
 * Canon Discontinuity: Rather odd, because the game actually contains less contradictions than Fallout Tactics, which is only Broad Strokes. Though considering the fan reaction to this game, this may have been for the best.
 * Dropped a Bridge on Him: For some bizarre reason, in one sidequest you face off against  despite him having been on your side in the first chapter.
 * Evil Matriarch: Variant. The Raiders based near Carbon have a matriarchal system, with females ranking higher than males. Jane, the Raider Matron and leader, is especially evil.
 * Fragile Speedster: Nadia. She has lower health than the other two characters and can't use heavy weapons, but she's quick and proficient with dual guns.
 * Internet Backlash: And how! Interplay closed down their own official forum for the game due to it being filled with hate posts for the game.
 * Jack of All Stats: Cain. He's in the middle for stats, and can use both heavy weapons and dual guns but isn't as skilled with either.
 * Mighty Glacier: Cyrus. He has high health and is good with heavy weapons, but he's slower and can't use dual guns.
 * Product Placement: In a bizarre example of this, Bawls Guarana replaces Nuka-Cola for most purposes, and Bawls bottlecaps are worth 50 regular bottlecaps.
 * Religion of Evil: The Church of the Lost, whose main purpose is to
