Yes Man. I can't think of any other RPG I've played where you can look at all the other factions and decide, nope, it's ME time. I played the whole game and all the expansions and never found The Enclave because I think I never bothered to keep the NPC doctor in my party.

The Followers of the Apocalypse are the best faction, but they don't really have a militant way to hold the dam, so you can't side with them over the big 4. As far as main factions, I'd go House. Sure, he's basically Elon Musk as portrayed by Rene Auberjonois, but he'll keep NV independent and create a safe space for the Followers. Keeping the dam would actually be pretty awful for the NCR. Their resources are stretched thin as-is, so having this huge settlement so far from Shady sands would stretch their already shaky supply lines to the breaking point. Their BoS-like obsession with maintaining the institutions of the old world is terrible, and doomed to eventual failure. Everything goes to poo poo for the Followers if you pick Yes-Man. Hard pass, unfortunately. gently caress Sallow and the Legion. When his brain tumor finally takes him, Legate Lanius will usher in a new age of totalitarian brutality, for basically no reason I'll have a large baconator combo, coke to drink, chili instead of fries

Independent is the best faction. If only because you can remove all control from mr House but leave him alive.

It's so hosed up too, it says it will take him about a year to die from microbial. He literally has to stay strapped to that device, unable to do anything except wait to die, for a whole year.

cumpantry posted:sucks obsidian didnt have enough time to make the caesar controlled settlements east of the dam, pretty much the only thing going for their brutal warfare is the supposed safety and satisfaction of the people they conquer (or don't enslave?) First time through FNV I'm playing a female courier. Dude named Vulpes has invited me to go to Caesar's camp and discuss me possibly siding with him. We have the convo and I don't turn him down initially, wanting to keep my options open and decide later which faction to choose. Afterwards I find his camp vendor, which is a woman wearing rags. Hmmm. Then the following exchange takes place- "A free woman. It's... been awhile since I've seen a woman who wasn't a slave. I forget myself - are you injured?" -How are women treated around here? "We're property. If you're too young or too old, the men usually leave you alone. Usually. You ought to be careful, yourself. I overheard some of the Legionaries talking about "trying you out." I then exited the conversation, pulled out my rifle, and killed everyone in the Legion camp except her. I've never been able to bring myself to side with them in later playthroughs. Even playing a male courier one of the legionaries always ends up saying something gross about slaves or women or both and I just gotta murder them all over again. Action-Bastard posted:Also, I love going into the Legion camp across the river and killing everyone, including Ceasar. Powder Gangers too, I snipe everyone outside the prison and then go inside and shotgun the rest. Also this.

You have to really work to convince yourself Legion is anything but terrible. The merchant in their camp says territory controlled them by peaceful but also admits in the same conversation that someone from legion killed his brahmin for no reason

I can see people siding with house because he is competent and is system is more human than whatever the gently caress the Legion is. The only good thing about The Legion that we can see is the Pax Romana, but the price of that peace is way to high and is the same as being under raider control at the end of the day. I mean even if you like Caser, the second he die it's going to be like the Dark Age in his "kingdom" where lords will fight each other for the control of the empire.

The only person who says that the Legion might survive after Caesar is Boone when he talks about lines of succession. But Boone isn't exactly the most educated fella and it doesn't really matter to him if they fall or flourish so long as he can put crimson in his sights.

The only correct choice is the "Me" option. The NCR is weak and corrupt from over expansion and needs a period of consolidation. Handing the Mojave to them is just going to make everything worse. The Legion are a bunch of disgusting slavers and are doomed to collapse once either a) Caesar dies or b) they run out of lands to conquer, whichever comes first. Mr. House looks like a better bet, but he has no plan beyond getting off the planet ASAP. So that leaves me.

I instinctively don't trust the NCR because on my first playthrough (first Fallout game) I kept stepping on frag mines in Primm near the NCR camp and I didn't understand that they were landmines. I thought the NCR was shooting me for some unknown reason so I teamed up with House because he was sort of nice to me after all the bullshit I had been through once I finally got to the strip. My NV experience was very immersive in the sense that I didn't understand what was going on a lot of the time and I was manipulated into obedience by a egomaniac.

Another thing legion fans never point out is that almost everyone - maybe not Caesar himself - is expendable. They also use child soldiers even if you don't fight them in the game because the morality police would have a field day with that, probably the same reason why children are indestructible in Skyrim.
