Their are more mutants pissed at the NCR than the Legion. Remember Markus tells you not to tell the muties if your with the NCR, in fact the only person you meet who likes the legion is a ghoul.
Uh, so? You conveniently forget about the large number of ghouls in Ranger service. Or the OSI employee. Since Rangers are drawn from regular military forces of the NCR, this means that ghouls have a place in NCR society and are treated more or less equal.
Doesn't stop prejudiced morons from campaigning against them to earn cheap fame off of human innate xenophoby.
If were going to talk about conjecture what about the theory that the NCR knows about the FEV curling strain, even though not a single character in the NCR confirms it, nor in the Brotherhood.
First tell me in what context should they do it. There is no place in New Vegas where such a remark wouldn't feel out of place, quite to the contrary. Most of the people you meet are lower ranking members of their respective factions, while the highest ranking officers and leaders have bigger problems on their hands (Hsu, Moore), are met very briefly (Kimball) or simply weren't privy to such information at the time.
I say, the fact that the NCR still pursues Enclave members and treats them as war criminals proves that they are aware that the Enclave planned to commit genocide on a global scale
and had the means to do it.
Does this really not make sense too you that the villagers kidnapped from ararro would want to forget their captivity and want to move on, as opposed too running too the NCR whom they have no reason too trust ?
Yes, it doesn't make sense. Since Arroyo was destroyed by the Enclave, the villagers were returned to San Francisco with nothing but their rags. NCR is the only organization selfless enough to provide refugee aid, so they
had to turn to them for help. The Shi are isolationist and the desolate stretch of land between New Reno and the NCR would be impossible to traverse without proper supplies for such a large group.
Most of them couldn't read so only Chosen one, Markus, and the Vault dweller would have much idea of what was going on, and remember for all we know the Chosen one could have been a den slaver with ranger squads gunning for him.
Where do you get the notion they were illiterate? Given that the old Elder has knowledge of the Enclave experiments (even if she describes it in a primitive way), it's not a stretch to assume that all villagers more or less knew what the Enclave was doing to them.
I on the other hand assume that the Ghoulified soldiers will at best be told to disappear given the reaction of the sergeant at camp searchlight upon hearing of his mutated soldier.
So you take the reaction of a single NCR sergeant, stationed at the ass end of the frontline, who has to fight former NCR soldiers turned into feral ghouls as indicative of the entire NCR?
That's a pretty feeble line of reasoning.
