Legion.exe has encountered an error.If the legion was half what they claim to be, then I could work with them. Problem is, they aren't.
I didn't get back to this point yet but I remember one of Caesar's second at the fort, saying something like:
'The legion took us, raised us, made us better than we were.'
A very convincing line, a lot more than any of Edward's hypocrit speeches, or Vulpes's.
Unfortunatly all I am seeing in the legion's individual and collective behaviour is hypocrisy, and behind the latin and dress up, nothing more than low common raiders and slavers.
Speaking to legion's boys here.
You speak of honnor and improvement yet you kidnap families that didn't ask you for anything? Force yourself on teenage girls?
You put up a show about punishing a town of 'evil' people, yet the two only survivors happen to be powder gangers, who obviously didn't get the object of your lesson beside that, and you call that teaching justice?
It's not even a terror lesson, it's simply stupid. There are plenty of corpses in the town hall for examples, some that even appeared to be travelers or from out of town. Get the mayor, the powder gangers, the NCR since you are at war, and any residents you judge 'bad people'. But the fact that everyone without exceptions is dead or enslaved prove you didn't care about your so called principles, you were just looking for fresh meat.
And nope, it's not good propaganda either, legion's boys. Make a effort to separate who deserve what, you might even get some regular civilians who aren't merchants on your side.
The way I see it, Caesar is instituting Pax Romana. The NCR retreads the past, like Legion, but as Ulysses says, “the bear is diseased, feeble... barely clings to life...”. I did an NCR playthrough last time I played NV. And you know what? I fucking hated it and myself the whole time. The NCR is a two headed bear; each head pulls in a different direction and the bear goes fucking nowhere. They can’t even get their shit together to send their elite shock troops to fight the “common raiders”.
Yeah, the Republic is more adaptable than the Legion in terms of succession and power structure. But don’t act like it’s any more fucking efficient. Because then you’re just spoonfeeding yourself your own bullshit.
And that’s just gross.
