you're more cynical about games then old me.
I like that.

Talking with Caesar was even worse with those pseudo intellectual references that ofcourse must be in there.
I'm pretty sure that was intentional. The man is trying to justify mass murder, slavery, torture and rape with pseudo-intellectual drivel and hypocritical ''principles''. The only other intellectual in the game (Arcade) says he's completely full of shit, and I'm pretty sure anyone with even a cursory knowledge of political philosophy is supposed to see through his BS. I mean, Hegelian dialectics? Come on now. This has been proven to be brain fart before the man was a corpse.
as far as the game goes, Ceaser Salad was still a rather weak character, a huge letdown. Not to mention the whole situation feelt rather ... silly to me. The overdone roman theme, which I believe, simply has no place like that in Fallout, not as "major" part of the game. Its obvious that the NCR got the most attention during development, it feels almost like they somewhat lost their steam with the legion, either runing out of time or what ever.
VEGAS IS A GOOD GAME!!!11 Before people get the idea I would only bash the game.
But even Vegas has quite a lot of places and situations that simply brake the immersion. At leats for me. Like the boomers and their proxomity to Vegas and all the other factions. Even the Boomers cant have that much firepower to keep people away for such long. Particularly as the NPC rather easily can get trough ... Caesar is rather comical as character (but not in a good way ...) and that you go down there and start the robot army (eventually depending on your choice) was probably the most stupid thing ever. Hey! We hate technology! so uh! go down there and destroy what ever might be there! We hear loud noices! So we guess you did it!
No Fallout game is probably free from flaws, hell if you compare F1 with Wasteland, I am sure there are things Wasteland 1 did better. Though F1 was the first Fallout game, so I think it should get somewhat a bonus here. F2 and Vegas, while a lot better then other Fallout titles, have quite a few flaws, with the difference that F2 has done the world better then Vegas, mainly because Vegas feels rather really like a Sandbox then playing inside a "post apoc world". F2 gave you enough room to use your own imagination. Vegas was simply to small in my eyes.
