* EqualOpportunityEvil: PlayedWith. The Enclave, if nothing else, isn't shown to be particularly racist or sexist within its own ranks. Even the more pragmatic and non-purist members like Colonel Whitehill, however, tend to look down on wastelanders, even if they're willing collaborators.

* MirrorCharacter: Well, Mirror Factions. The Enclave and the Brotherhood have become this in the wake of the Brotherhood's harsher tone in the base game and the Enclave's softening in the mod. Both sides are technologically advanced pseudo-states run primarily by military personnel who rely on small squads of power-armored soldiers mobilized via Vertibirds and who are very concerned by the presence of mutants and synths. The differences are either aesthetic (religious knights vs Pre-War military) or minute (the Brotherhood is primarily concerned with synths, the Enclave is primarily concerned with mutants. Both sides agree that both are a threat to pure humans.)
