Fallout: New Vegas faction profiles

Games Radar profiles the factions in Fallout: New Vegas. I can't vouch for its accuracy as it profiles the Enclave (sigh), NCR, Brotherhood of Steel, the Vault Dwellers (what), the Nightkin, the Followers of the Apocalypse and the Slaver's Guild (I think they mean Caesar's Legion).<blockquote>The Followers of the Apocalypse
Appears in: Fallout 1

History: A “secular religion”, the FotA do not believe in any particular “god”, but still serve as missionaries to the wastes. You could say the Followers are “good guys” given that they show wasteland inhabitants how to grow their own food and teach the history of the pre-war world in the hopes that humanity’s mistakes are not repeated.

The Followers accept refugees from all over, including former Raiders, Slavers, even Enclave members. Such practices naturally inflame those who might still have a bone to pick with such characters. Even more enraging is the FotA’s policy of encouraging “oppressed” citizens to rise up against their respective governments.

However, the FotA’s own track record is not without its own curiosities. Given that its base of operations (at least as of 2061) was the mostly intact Los Angeles Library, certain followers became privy to ideas and notions that were not in line with the primary mission of the organization. It is even said that Caesar himself (of the Slaver Guild “Caesar’s Legion”) was once a member of the FotA.

Role in Fallout New Vegas: It has been confirmed that the Followers appear in FONV, but the group’s motives are still unclear. Is it attempting to correct the mistakes of the past and bring down Caesar’s Legion? Is it being hunted by the NCR for crimes of sedition? Both? We’ll just have to see.</blockquote>
 
It is unknown whether the Enclave will appear in New Vegas, but Sin City always has a way of attracting the nefarious. And they don’t make them much more nefarious than the Enclave.

This is really more of a "Hey guys, they might be in here because you know, the EVULZ"

When the Master was defeated in 2161, the super mutants dispersed, creating roving gangs throughout the Southwest. Before his utter destruction, however, the Master imprinted his attributes in several “talented” super mutants. To one called Attis, he gave his genius level intelligence. To Melchior, his Psionic abilities. And to Tabitha (leader of the remaining Nightkin), he gave his multiple personalities.

Let's play find the error!

Originally founded by escapees of Vault 13 and 15

NCR was not founded by people from Vault 13 and 15. The people came only from Vault 15.
 
"those exposed to super-concentrated amounts of the virus transform into Super Mutants – hulking, genderless brutes barely capable of authoring a coherent thought other than “Gaaaah! Kill!"

Journalitsts getting something totally wrong.

Proposterus :crazy:

Well, will see if the problem is in the game or just in the minds.
 
It is a 12.7mm pistol. One can say, it's the new 14mm pistol.
 
Wait, wasn't Melchior a second generation supermutant? How the fuck'd he meet the Master? Either the journalist is dumb as fuck, or there are retcons all up in this bitch.

God, Ausir's gonna have a field day with this, filled with Actually(TM)'s and Correct(C)'s.
 
Already discovered several flaws.

Melchior was not 'created' by the Master, he was a magician who was captured by the Enclave who needed labor forces to excavate the ruins of Mariposa base.

Also, there were no indications he had psionic powers.

:roll:



So the Master's schizophrenic dialogue will be back as well?

Obsidian sure is into recycling the old stuff. Maybe they should change the main quest into finding a waterchip. Just an idea.
 
Even Bethesda ignores Brotherhood of Steel for canon. Attis never existed.

I didn't feel like sniping too much in the newspost but yeah, it's basically all bullshit.
 
Bullshit certainly, but is it old bullshit?

I only just skimmed over it, but from the comments in this thread I'm sure I read it a few months back... Maybe the Master just gave me his special ability of being psychic for bullshit games journalism.
 
At the very least, the Enclave actually has a reason for being in the region (unlike in F3). Probably survivors of the Navarro military base.

Remnants are ok, if they stick to lore, Arcade Gannon is one such remnant... though may be a little odd considering that F2 happened like 40 years before NV
