    Metro 2033 and out of tune guitars....

    ...I honestly didn't know that guitar strings could be determined to be tuned improperly through audio post-processing, let alone that one was slightly off here. I don't make a habit of anything guitar. :/ It's good music anyway, though. Maybe it's intentional.

    I've been here for ages, darling. :P I have to admit that I did start with 3, but I'm a sucker for good concept art, and Drusus at the Reservation had this kooky comic-book style ENV mask with a faux Arabian headwrap. I was Legion before it was cool! Well, at least with House, there won't...

    I resent that accusation. >:[ The Legion isn't some pack of filthy Fiends.

    The announced "Lonesome Road" DLC should have something to due with more Legion, seeing as the real-world Lonesome Road stretches from Vegas to Washington DC, and the Legion owns most of the Midwest.

    His perk sucks. Seriously. He's also a pretty shallow character, at least in my eyes. Blond hair, blue eyes, sarcastic attitude. Enclave. At least the other Remnants have the whole "old people in power armor" thing going for them. I guess I'm supposed to like him because he's the...

    I hate Arcade. Don't take it up with me. China had plenty of oil available to them through their own holdings in the remains of the Middle East. They just wanted security. Wanna bet?

    You do have a point. Most of the Legion quests (IE, Caesar's Hire, Caesar's Favor, and Caesar's Foe) are completely broken, and many of the original hopes for Legion quests centered on Vulpes Inculta, who ended up being a pretty poor character.

    Ehhh. Female degradation was never a part of the original Van Buren Legion (just like the Van Graffs never used to anything to do with Energy Weapons). I expect that it was written into the faction profile due to the tribalwoman Hecate and her War Daughters being the only tribe to...

    Grizzly, Goth, and probably Ghouly are pro-NCR, if only because they grew up with the Tandi administration. I'm pro-Legion mostly because Caius Drusus was soooo cool. And I mostly agree with the Legion's points and all. >.> <.< Caesar actually read Julius Caesar's Commentarii, and...

    ...which eventually lead to Caesar restarting it. It's a big loop. :D China actually had a UN-certified claim to the last of the oil. Poseidon Energy beat the Chinese to tapping it, which is why the war started. You get two scoops of Rexie instead.

    Still better than the Legion armors. Every government is going to fall eventually. But which lasted longer? The American democracy, which lasted 301 years, or the Roman empire, which was... what... a thousand? The President walked out of oil talks when China showed up, way before the war...

    Uh, no, seeing as the Legion has won regardless of power armor and miniguns, which NCR had at Hoover Dam back in 2277. Google 'Pax Romana'. It was the greatest period in human history, where everyone was at peace. Didja see some of the posters in Fallout 3? How about Liberty Prime...

    Yup. But, then again, Caesar beat NCR with a bunch of sharp sticks and a lot of planning. The Enclave's gone anyway, and the Army/Ranger split in NCR would just start another one. It was damn effective, though. The "modern" civilization was racist and fearful of change. China was the...

    NCR was pro-slavery, excepting Tandi herself. Vortis, the slaver in charge of NCR's holding pens in Fallout 2, had ties all the way up to Vice President Carlson. I do agree that the sexism in the Legion is a bad point. Caesar himself should know from Hecate and her War Daughters that women...
