I picked up New Vegas a few weeks ago (Having a lot of fun, and very few bugs too) And have been cruising through the story, enjoying myself all the way through. But then, something occurred. I had no idea what too do.
And no, thats not some snarky "Ohh, Obsidian didn't do a good job explaining where to go next!" Kinda thing. this is me, the player, actually confused as to how I should proceed. This occurred shortly after I picked up the Platinum Chip from Benny's Corpse and met Yes man. he offered me control of New Vegas, and I literally screamed with glee. Owning the strip? all this wealth, the power? sign me up. But then I encountered the couriers. the two main groups were also eying my prize, and needed my chip to do it. now, at first I considered handing the chip over to the NCR, as Id been helping them since the beginning of the game but deep down, I was worried. Consider the town of Nipton. this is a town that is literally surrounded on all side by the NCR, and is so far west that its un-questionably falls under NCR jurisdiction. And yet, they let the place get burned, and the population burned, by their biggest enemy. would they let the strip suffer the same fate? And what about Cesar? on the one hand, his work ethics and laws have created law from lawless ness. From what i understand, Arizona was a shithole unlike the World had seen, and he created from it an empire capable of conquering a massive chunk of the U.S. on the other hand, Cesar is a complete nob, who would tax the strip, tear down the casinos, get rid of the liquor, and kill all the whores. he would take the Vegas outta Vegas. So since then, iv basically been doing quests for the various "Tribal" groups mentioned by Yes Man, wondering what too do myself.
My question to you Escapist, is what you have done in my shoes, and your reasoning behind it.

I chose freedom of choice.
