I think part of the game berating you for making the followers do it might be because Bethesda couldn’t get Ron Perlman back into the studio to voice more endings for Broken Steel, so they reused the ending lines for making Lyons activate it (in which case it rightfully tells you off for selfishly sending her to die) and made different slides for the new endings with the followers.
Then they killed Lyons off screen anyways to turn the Brotherhood full fash, despite the Lyons definitively leading the Brotherhood to their greatest ever victory and their induction of Wastelanders giving them a loyalist core against exactly that…
But, no, apparently a couple of jackass Exiles were secretly more popular.
Like, don’t get me wrong, perfectly natural development for them to go fash, just don’t do Lyons like that.
The BoS should turn fash, it was one of the writing elements of Fallout 4 I actually enjoyed. The Brotherhood is entirely dull and uninteresting in 3, and their 4 rendition is the natural consequence of rapidly expanding a cult-like insular worship of technology and superiority messiah complex. 1, NV, and 4 had the only interesting forms of the Brotherhood.
