Bugs

 * Brandis can be killed after convincing him to return to the Brotherhood and he will still turn up at The Prydwen later, alive and well.
 * Despite successfully completing three speech checks to convince Brandis to return to the Prydwen, he still refuses to return and will remain in his bunker. I found that if you quicksave and load in the middle of his conversation, this will fail; but, if you quicksave at the beginning of the conversation, and do the last three charisma items correct in a row, it then works. Loading and saving messes up the state of the conversation probably...
 * If convinced to return to the Prydwen, he might not give the playear his Survivor's Special , he will instead say his lines.
