Who are the Enclave and what do they want in Fallout season 3?
The season 2 finale sets the Enclave up to play a much bigger role in season 3. Introduced in the first episode, the faction quietly shaped many events by exerting influence over Vault‑Tec and the U.S. government to ensure nuclear war and secure power afterward.
Barb Howard’s warning about people worse than her points to the Enclave, and Cooper Howard’s theft of a cold fusion diode from Vault‑Tec courier Hank MacLean ultimately played into their plans after the technology reached the U.S. president. Robert House admits he was outmaneuvered.
The Enclave ensured the bombs would fall and, two centuries on, still use their technology and Vault‑Tec connections to manipulate the Wasteland. House warns that the Enclave’s eyes are everywhere, and the finale shows the faction eavesdropping on transmissions from the Vaults and New Vegas.
