Slippy sloppy, The
I went through some old stuff and realized I had this screenie from the old FOrmspring post. Figured it might be interesting for those who wondered what the plans were for the other side of the river of the Mojave map but never got to read this post of his.

Has that seen the light of day before? Nice find by the way.

Yep, it was on a public site called Formspring back in the day where he communicated some ideas he had about FNV at the time. He wouldn't go too far into it to establish anything concrete however. There was also a thing in the FNV Game Guide book that mentioned a role for female legionnaires called "priestess", their role was effectively to be teachers and brood mothers to children of the Legion and other women to teach them the values of Legion culture, ethics, morals and laws.

That's as much as we know about the Legion's homelands beyond what the game itself tells us tells us.

Ah, here: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Joshua_Sawyer_Formspring_posts
You can read his posts in a transcribed format there.
 
I do remember an interview years ago where he mentioned that folks in Legion territory where pretty safe.
I think it's an interesting idea and one that I would have liked to have seen explored.

If a New Vegas sequel ever did happen (and not taking the TV show into account), I think it would be interesting to explore the fallout of the death of Caesar and how those territories react to a crumbling legion. Maybe there is some kind of spite for the Courier while others look up to them like a folk hero.

I can imagine dedicated aspects of those areas forming their own copies of the legion, but not having the charisma or power to really pull it off.
Actually, I should write that in a fanfic at some point...
 
I'm pretty sure that excerpt has circulated these boards before, because none of that is new to me, and I don't really visit any other Fallout-related source except NMA. Though perhaps I did see it on The Vault, but it was probably shown here too.
Nonetheless, good find. I am now reminded that New Vegas can be considered an old game at this point, despite my vivid memory of it.

Were there any active Fallout forums beside NMA and Duck and Cover back in 2010?

English speaking? Kinda.
The Vault (OG Fallout wiki) was alive and well and had plenty of active users - not a forum per se, but similar.
RPG Codex and other RPG forums had their dedicated sections/threads to Fallout.
Bethesda forum was active too IIRC, but it was, well, Bethesda.
Probably forgetting something too.

I can't remember if Reddit was a thing back then, but subreddits did eventually help by adding a few nails in the forum's coffin.


Outside of that, there were (are?) non-English Fallout forums. French, German etc. I think. Never used any of those, but we've had user overlap.

Reddit was a thing but if I recall correctly, it was just one board
 
Yeah, it kinda went to shit. There was a lot of weird stuff going on behind the scenes, to which most of the users weren't privy to. Conflicts between administrators etc. I believe that at some point even Ausir who was The Vault founder left the whole thing.
I think it also coincided with the advent of "Wikia" format which was slowly starting to turn into an ad-ridden hell it is today.

The whole thing is so very confusing. Take everything I say with a truckload of salt though - I frequnted The Vault back then and helped edit some articles, but it was a long time ago.

I see now that this also exists:
fallout.wiki

Fallout Wiki

The Fallout Wiki - A fan-owned project focused on maintaining the best quality, comprehensive, and accessible encyclopedia about all aspects of the Fallout franchise, community, and mods!
fallout.wiki fallout.wiki

Yep, it's a confusing shitshow.
