Yeah. Mojave girls sure can stand up for themselves.
I would have preferred a bald dude with leather armour and a shotgun tbh.
Anyway I just found a Starwars reference in Nipton that I had forgotten about, or never known of.

So if you kill the NCR sergeant Kilborn while shouting "Ave Caesar" after having been to Nipton you get no reputation penalty and none of his fellow soldiers reacts. That's bad because I was really hesitant at going with that option even though I'm on a Legion run simply because I didn't want the whole of Mojave outpost against me. But it turned out to be a choice without consequence. Bad design.
e: I just got vilified by the NCR for killing all of their troopers trying to oust the Powder Gangers at the Correctional Facility. My next objective is to go to Novac. Let's see how this run turns out when NCR hates me.
When can I finally meet up with the Legion?

You could either book it pronto to Cottonwood Cove or meet Vulpes Inculta at the strip and get invited to CWC.
Boone wont even talk to me because I'm "an enemy of the NCR". Well those NCR soldiers attacked me first. And how did you even know that I killed them Mr.Boone?
We soldiers always know, rumors travel fast!
It annoys me that I can't do the quest about his missing wife this time. I was planning on letting him shot the wrong murderer if that's possible.
e: The first ED-E playback mentions the Adams Air force Base, "our bases in Chicago" and the Hellfire armour. So all those things must be considered cannon by Obsidian. What did they mean by the "our bases in Chicago"?
e2: I was supposed to help the Nightkin this time but Davison attacked me so I hade no choice but to kill him and the jailer. Guess I'll be heloing the Ghouls once more. Stupid game. It's too easy to turn Davison hostile. I still have a save file that I could reload and retry though. Should I spend that time?
e3: I decided to reload and sneaked passed the hostile Nightkins and got the mission from their leader Davidson to deal with the ghoul Harland. They wanted the Stealth Boys said to be in that room. Harland wouldn't allow me to search for the Stealth Boy shipment so I had to kill him.
What I don't like about the design here is that you can end up killing to many Nightkin in selfdefence and then not being able to get the quest from Davidson. I used my meta knowledge this time to get the outcome I wanted, which is on because I've played this game before. But if you are on your first run you can sabotage yourself without even knowing. I actually had to reload and replay this time because I didn't remember what the stakes were.
e4: So Jasons Bright Brotherhood Ghouls had their take-off without Chris and I was finally done with REPCONN. As a reward I got my motel room in Novac where I could off-load a lot of stuff. Good to have. Then I headed for Nelson and had to cut down the NCR blockade. Nelson was a bit shit because the only quest was to go to Camp Forlorn Hope and murder everybody, which I did. Yay!
Should I continue to Boulder or go to the Legions main camp?
e5: Ok so I bypassed Helios One and made my way to the 188 Trading Post to get Veronica. Samuel and Michelle Kerr who runs the place are refugees from Primm. However you can't tell them anything about your dealings in their hometown. You can't tell them that the place has a new Sheriff. Michelle is worried about the Legion raids and you can't tell her that you support the Legion and that she shouldn't worry. Not much of that famous Fallout: New Vegas reactivity added in 188 Trading post. Sad.
e6: If you kill the NCR garrison in Boulder the people at the Big Horn Salon also turns hostile, like the barkeep. Pretty dead town now.
e7: The Anywhere I Wonder quest feels lackluster if you're not with the NCR. You can't even talk with Alexus in the mine. Your only option if you're with the Legion is to kill the quest giver. Boring!
e8: Didn't remember Matthews Animal Husbandry Farm. Those diary notes left a chilling sense of dread. Well done! But poor animals...
e9: Fuck me! You have to confront Benny at the Tops Casino in order to be able to travel to the Legion. That sucks because that means that the Legion content is just end-game content. The only thing you can do at Cottonwood Cove is to give them NCR dogtags.
e10: First I killed Fantastic but then I reloaded to keep him alive. He's to fantastic to die and he doesn't benefit the NCR anyway.
e11: Veronica doesn't give any reaction to the dead BoS patrol you encounter at the REPCONN headquarters. And ED-E doesn't react to the eyebot on display at the exhibition. As someone who like reactivity in games that would have been nice. Also you almost never find anything fun in a toilet and that's a missed opportunity.
e12: That "Doctor" at the Correctional Facility doesn't cure addiction. So you get a worse doctor if you side with the Powder Gangers like I did.
e13: Tragic the Gardening is mentioned at the H&H Tools factory.

I know I’m probably too late to this but:
Also, in case you didn’t know you can wipe out the NCR at Helios One and the Legion will take over.
If you wear NCR armor I think the faction reset works on him so that you can get this quest. I love tricking him into killing Manny.

Thanks for the information! I discovered that all NCR Troopers aren't connected so even if you kill all you encounter like I did and even get Ranger hit squads send after you they will still act friendly at Nellis Air Force Base (mostly). So I did a lot of quests there and managed to get another status with NCR. I did all bounties for example.
If I recall correctly I killed all NCR at Helios One when I passed there so I will se if it's Legion run now. I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
I will also try Boone with an NCR faction armor. Thanks for the tip.
So last time I played I entered the BoS bunker with Veronica. However I then began playing Starship Troopers: Terran Command instead and then i continued with Tempest Rising and I'm now on Terminator: Dark Fate Defience. There are so many good RTS titles out there now it's sick. However I have become a little fatigued and have started longing for some FNV again. Think I will pause the RTS goodness for a while and do the BoS stuff...
Hardin is now the new elder of BoS and I just entered Old World Blues as I reached level 15.
e: The BoS Paladins are too good for recycled ammunition. Is that really believable?

Just finished Old World Blues for the second time in my life. I really like this little DLC that places you in the middle of an open world where you are free to go explore after your own volition. This time I sided with Mobious and had to kill the Think Tank.
I entered the DLC at level 15 and exited at level 25. That is ridiculous! And my melee character slaughtered the giant robo-scorpion in just a few hits.
Some minor thoughts:
*It was easier for me to grasp the story inserts from Dead Money and Lonesome Road this time which I appreciated.
*It's annoying that Muggy wants Coffee Mugs but not Cups. Like what's even the difference? He talks about doing the dishes. And when you give him the Coffee Mugs the text also specifies "dishes".
*It's nice to get a lore explanation of the Lobotomies that where supposed to be in Fallout 1. And Big MT is even located within the world space of Fallout 1.
*The robot scorpions of DR Mobious reminds me of the Roboscorpions in Wasteland.
I think I will either do Dead Money, finished the Boomer content or finish the BoS content. We'll see.

Yeah, it's a disconnect but it's like this in just about everything. The amount of time it'd take to make this work in a realistic sense is not even remotely worth the payoff. And being halfway there just makes it so the player probably gets away with eliminating anyone they want in a faction while also being deified by that faction.
You could also just assume that for larger scale events that obviously are understaffed by NPCs that there would be survivors on the losing side despite what NPCs actually show up on your screen. So it's feasible that if you were in a shootout with the NCR that one of them would have survived and fled the scene. The news travels instantly but what can you do.
Yes and no in my opinion lmao. Yes they'd probably be pissy about recycled energy ammo but given their current state of affairs, you'd imagine they'd understand that beggars can't be choosers and they're in survival mode. Take what you can and don't whinge about it too hard.
