The Awesome Foursome; Decision Of The Protagonisst

Look, Ma! Two Heads!
Ok, so there's a lot of opinions of who the good guys and bad guys are in FNV, personally I prefer NCR to legion, cause they're not as malicious. The NCR try to do what's best but they don't and they cause a lot of problems. At least they aint racist for that matter as there are Ghouls that have become veteran rangers. The legion on the other hand try to imitate the ancient Romans but want control more than anything and kill what they don't like. They seem grateful however for services you provide, but they're definitely villainous. Mr. House; he wants to conrtol New Vegas and wants it to be the way he has it. I'm not even sure if he is the actual Mr.House as he has been suggested to be the brother. But he has lived long and no one should cheat death, so he had his days. Yes Man; I've not tried his quests but as far as I know, he's a kiss-ass who works for the more powerful person, but he does have an enlightening personality for sure. So none are truly good yet truly bad, and the only certain faction/person to side with is up to you, whatever you think's best for the Mojave; because you're the main protagonist, and a protagonist is destined for greatness in Fallout New Vegas. :)
 
I only wish you could side with a faction other than those four.
I'm a brotherhood man at heart, so I'd have loved to end the game leading them in full power armor at whoever had been the survivor of the battle at the damn... (Influenced by how you strengthen or weaken one side or the other.)

Even the great Khans would have been fun to side with... But I suppose that's a lot of content for the designers to put in.
 
Yeh true, still there's always them options for the future. We got the enclave so perhaps they could be a possibility. We can only hope :/

NO! No more Enclave vs. BoS.
 
I support Mr. House, he is the reason Las Vegas survived, he is the one who rebuilt and he is the one responsible for it's success, I recognize his sovereignty over New Vegas.

On the topic of Caesar's Legion, I wouldn't call them Villainous.

I'd describe them more as totalitarian.

Of course The Legion kill those they do not like, the NCR does the same, as does the Brotherhood.

I am partial to the Enclave but I'll admit them controlling New Vegas is impossible, they no longer have the man-power or resources to do it.
 
Yeh, Mr House, i dunno what to think of him. As for the legion, I just despise their actions after what they did to Boone's wife and child. Caesar's just a powerful jerk but I'm sure they've got some decency at least. The Enclave are patriotic no-gooders who remind me of the Van Buren BoS for some reason. I can't remember if the legion are newcomers or were they in the old ones?
 
I don't know why people get so goddamned hung up on the BOS. They're in no position to govern, nor do they want to. Just let 'em be crazy old bastards hiding out in their bunkers.
 
Siding with the BOS wouldn't be a governing power choice, it'd be "destroy the two major factions" choice... Let the wastelanders do as they choose without a large force telling them how to do it.
It seems to me at least how the BOS would best handle it... Take out the threats, leave the rest.
 
Na, the ultimate goal of the BOS is to rule the Wasteland with their superior technology (sitting in a bunker for eternity telling yourself how awesome your plasma rifle is not what I would call a goal). They just are in no position to do it now because they are, mostly, huge jerks who think owning Power Armor is enough to rule fittingly.

Also, I am very much unsure that anarchy is that the Wasteland needs. With things like the Fiends, Deathclaws, Cazadores, and madmen like Elijah, you need an organised force that can keep order. Being free to chose what to do doesn't amount to much if all the roads are blocked by raiders and various flavors of murderous critters.
 
You guys didn't know about the secret fifth option for the battle of Hoover Dam? All you have to do is collect every camera and sensor module in the wastes and bring them to Hidden Valley so that the BoS can repair their giant robot. You then get to follow this giant robot for a good ten minutes while he destroys everyone in his way, then you get to talk to Lanius.

Huh, this isn't exactly well hidden. You'd think more people would have found it by now. There's no way I'm the only one.
 
I heard something about that, but I couldn't do it as I let Elder Mcnamara (whatever his name is) stay elder, then he gave me the crappy old model power armour -_-

It would have been cool if you could have given the BoS Euclid's C Finder and turned on Helios One, and they used to to take out both the NCR and Caeser's legion at Hoover Dam. Although I imagine if they had a BoS ending it would result in anarchy in the Mojave.
 
That's an ultimate goal up there with world domination. I'm pretty sure their main goal is not getting obliterated by the NCR.

Like I said, I don't think they have any real interest in governing the masses. Just keeping them from the particularly destructive and dangerous toys.

Seriously can't we just let the BoS rest and die? It would've been cool if the general attitude towards the BoS was more than "Kill the fuckers", with different quest paths that would allow you to sneakily kill off the BoS, keep them from sabotaging the base, leaving the bunker clean and pristine to help arm the NCR/Legion/your own private army.
 
I always have to side with NCR, I only did the independent and house endings for the achievements and such and legion cause if I feel mean. The way I see it is I cant settle with the Moajve on its own, that there has to be a bigger picture to it than just vegas. It feels weird knowing that the NCR and Legion went away, leaving the Mojave vacant with no one keeping order just the small towns. I doubt House is going to help towns like Novac and Primm and Independent Vegas is just a fail( :( ).
 
Ah true, you can also side with the followers as well. If you really want the purest side of this, then they're probably the choice as they just want to help the people.
 
I support the NCR. Despite being bogged down in bureaucracy and politics they mean well, and would probably bring prosperity and order to the Mojave. I don't like Kimball and Oliver, they feel like the NCR taking one step forward and two steps back.

The Legion would only bring fear and depravity to the wasteland which would fall in the end, just like the real Roman Empire!

Mr. House would only help those who would pay money and Vegas would be Tennypenny Tower with more bright lights and less stupid quest endings. That talk about building spaceships is a little farfetched to me as well.

I'd be more interested in a Great Khan ending. Most people see the Mongol Empire as a horde of savage barbarians but it had a degree of civilisation. Supported merchants, tolerance of religions, effective postal service. Brutal but fair. In a way.
 
I agree, NCR do mean well, though Oliver and Kimball seem like cowards as I've not seen one of them pick up a gun and spray ten buckets of lead into the enemy they say to despise. A lot of the characters really make you fell for them and when you go into the Fort and see kids training to be Legionaries, you secretly hope that you won't have to kill him in the future. Ther's a lot of good and bad eggs, but I don't know who's the worse. The Legate respects honour and is smart enough to know when to back down at least. Oh and the great khans, I respect them to the best, they have rights to despise NCR even though it was a mistake. And they just try to live by, I even got everyone to side with the NCR.
 
Everyone that uses the argument that the Legion will fall based off the fact that Rome also fell, forgets the fact that in this world, America has fallen as well... And that's what the NCR is based off of.
 
The House Always Wins, baby!

But beyond that, yeah, the NCR are some pretty cool cats as well.
 
Well, NCR are better than Legion in my opinion. I'm not even american myself. I was also thinking about the Powder Gangers. But as far as they go, they're just a minor disturbance and no one really cares about them, they're just nuisances who throw around dynamite and get themselves blown and killed. They're pathetic with few exceptions.
