Poll: Fallout New Vegas Factions

Caesar's Legion, best endings and actually will make the Mojave benefit most.

 

[Dark Harbinger]

I would incorporate elements of Mr House's life preserving machine into myself and continue my rule of chaos, then I would hopefully seize either atomic weapons or more Securitrons, after the regions are purged with my chaotic rule, it will induce a restraint born of fear. If my enhanced body were to fail or if I was killed, I would ensure another purge through instructions to yes man, who will take orders only from me after his upgrade, through the future, people will avoid conflict for fear of my wrath, maybe they will eventually forget, but when they do, I shall address the balance. The cycle of fear starts again, enforcing peace.

I'm a HUGE Roman history/Latin nerd, so I had to choose Caesar's Legion. I think that, given time, the Legion would mellow out somewhat once they consolidated power and didn't have to worry about constant invasion/opposition. The treatment of slaves in ancient Rome was extremely good compared to most slaves in other cultures, and I think that the life of a Legion slave, in a few generations of peace, would rise to imitate the same.

I bet that most of that is my fangirling of ancient Rome speaking, though.

The Legion is also the only group that shows the power and willingness to protect trade caravans, instead of just their own military outposts/bases, as well. Say what you will about them, in an apocalyptic wasteland, they excel at keeping order and protection to those loyal to them.

Finally some one who actually knows what is best for the Wasteland and History!

Boone and I shall take over the Mojave Wasteland! *Dr Evil pose*

 

[ultrachicken]

Anything but the Legion. It's pretty much free of redeeming traits.

Agreed. The way I see it:

NCR = Good
Legion = Bad
Mr. House = Neutral
Independent = Neutral

 

[Inkidu]

I like the NCR just for the bad-ass Desert Ranger armor.

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

Because:

1. Factories are hard to build. Mr. House may know how to build it, but the people are tribals. Not to mention the parts will be hard to find if not fabricate. Even the BOS have a hard time fabricating items, and they have workshops and knowledge to do it.

2. The corrosive nature of human nature erodes away in all governments. Your government wont last any longer than NCR in terms to corruptibility.

3. Mr. House isn't going to explore space. He may talk the talk but when it comes to actually doing anything he fails. His promises are about as hollow as the tube he sleeps in.

1. He's the owner of the most prosperous city outside of the NCR. He can build whatever the fuck he wants.
2. What if I just repeat the cycle. As in Cyogenically freeze MY protege, as House did. Just keep doing that as long as it is necessary. It's a big responsibility for one guy to choose who runs Vegas, sure. But atleast the responsibility lies on the shoulder of someone who is competent.
3. Whether or not you believe him is entirely your opinion. Oddly enough, I don't know if I necessarily DISagree with you. And even if it is talk....who cares?

 

[MetroidNut]

I say NCR. Forget law and order; the NCR is the only democracy in the wasteland, and that's worth fighting for if you ask me.

Independent Vegas could be democratic in theory, but...that's a big risk.

Yay! I'm not the only one that thinks this! Also, if the (more effective as male)courier sides with the Legion, and is at least somewhat good, I think that he'd really help in mellowing out some of the harsher Legion policies. The Legion keeps order and safety better than any of the other factions have shown. Raul says as much if you talk to him about it. Their brutality and reputation keeps their towns, merchants, and caravans extremely safe. The NCR wasn't even able to handle the Fiends without the Courier's help, not to mention all of the dead caravans and unprotected/uncared for towns. Nipton and Primm, for example, show the NCR's "effectiveness."

I also think that, if Caesar was still alive at the end, he wouldn't choose Lanius as his heir. He's his second, as he is an extremely effective general, but Caesar is quite intelligent and educated. Lanius is a great general, but he doesn't care for the Legion or it's future so much as he is just loyal to Caesar himself. He was necessary during such a huge conflict, but he's best used only in military situations as opposed to being the #1 in charge. Given time to stabilize his position, I think that he'd find someone with the ability to govern effectively, and not just slaughter his enemies. Lanius would make a great leader of the military aspect of the Legion, but Vulpes, for example, would make a great political leader, I think. Caesar is just too smart to make a mistake like that when it comes to preserving what he created.

NCR because even with thier flaws, they are the only way to keep true order.

How so? The beefed up Securitrons are keeping more order than the NCR ever could.

God knows, my vote goes for the man himself... me.

Why? Well, thats easy:

I'm too lazy. I get to be famous, live in luxury, and have next to no responsibilities (The odd job here and there). That's the life.

 

[hem dazon 90]

Mr house is the best for all of hummanity

 

[orangebandguy]

It's a shame the BOS aren't big players anymore.

I'd back them personally, nothing at all to do with big laser guns and power armour...nothing at all.

If you kill Caesar with Boone Boone says that Caesar has 3 generations of successors lined up for himself. SO yeah the legion isn't going anywhere anytime soon

Really? I've never killed Caesar with Boone. That's good to know.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

I was gonna be independant until I hooked up with Boone and then I just loved all the lady soldiers going 'I wish I had a 1st Recon sniper looking after me!'
Yeah I'll bet

but hes mine.
