Their machetes and spears would be useless against any NCR soldier with a rifle. It's not like they have good armor, so how are the Legionnaires not just constantly getting mowed down?
In such a dog-eat-dog world, you’d think grave digging would be....a societal norm if anything. They’re dead, they don’t need their stuff, might as well take it. The surprising thing is that people are buried with their valuables in the first place, and don’t just get all their shit taken...
Hey I was just thinking, why are energy rifles called “rifles” at all. Since they don’t fire projectiles, they wouldn’t have any rifling in the barrels either
The NCR is obviously the best choice. They’re a liberal democracy, meanwhile you have:
- Totalitarian Rome LARPing savages.
-Authoritarian capitalist autocrat
- Anarchism (ie Death)
The NCR is pound for pound the best option
The thing is you have to give the character some type of role so they can be connected to the main story of the game. If the protag in NV was never a courier, they wouldn’t have had any reason to go after Benny.
One idea I had was having the Enclave and Hubologists being connected (the Hubologist providing intel about the Shi’a movements, slaves from neighboring regions, and spies) in exchange for tech. That would be a justification for them having G11E’s and spaceships at least.
It’s my birthday.
Edit: btw I know my pf says I was born the 11th of February but I wasn’t. I made this account way back when I was 14 and I didn’t know if there was an age limit so I just made up a fake b-day.
The Legion was made to unappealing and cartoonishly evil, even by the standards of the post-nuclear world, to make them a logical choice for anyone too pick, not to mention that the political structure they were given made them a basically doomed society.
