brfritos said:- Have an self-sufficient economy that bolst the NCR first and then the inhabitants of Mojave IF there's something interesting in their communities.
- Feed their citizens and their citizens only
- Defend their citizens and only their citizens
- Accept imigrants, but only if they don't get in the way
- Abide by a rule of law, unless the law needs to be bend (they even hire mercenaries and criminals)
- Outreach to their neighbors IF it's interesting. Novac is defended by whom? NCR it isn't. Goodspring happens to be in the middle, otherwise...
- Have a self-sufficient economy. OF COURSE it bolsters the NCR first: THAT'S KINDA THE POINT. To argue that such shouldn't be the case is kinda like arguing that America is wrong for putting American interests ahead of non-Americans.
- Except if you smooth relations between them and the Kings, that's patently untrue. Also, the Followers - an NCR-born faction - help just about everybody with a pulse.
- Again, not true. They're the ONLY force keeping the fiends (and the Legion) at bay, which helps all of outer Vegas and all the townships up to the border.
- Who doesn't abide by the "don't get in the way" rule? They pretty much accept anybody who isn't a psychopath. Walk in from the wastes, you're certain to be a citizen in ten minutes.
- YOU'RE said mercenary/criminal.
- Novac isn't defended by NCR? Its sheriff is NCR, its two guards are ex-NCR snipers, and it's right on the road between an NCR radio outpost and an NCR base. Walk two minutes in any direction and you see NCR patrols taking out the primary threat to the town: The Legion.
- They're the only ones outreaching AT ALL. Everybody else seems to prefer the scorched earth scenario.
