The Followers positive/negative endgame (HUGE SPOILERS!)

[brfritos]

This topic has huge spoilers about the entire game and his end, be warned.


Why everyone assumes that a more positive end for the Followers not present if you side NCR is a bug? For what I've seen until now in FNV, the Followers and NCR don't look in the eye anymore, having a mixed feeling about each other. Most of the high ranking officers in the NCR army don't really care about them and most of the OSI/NCR scientists don't like them.
On the other hand most Followers don't have a grudge against the NCR, but they also don't want them taking control of the Mojave, with Julie Farkas and Arcade Gannon having the most proeminent opinions. Arcade don't want the NCR, but he is open to accept it instead of Legion.

Sure you have some minor opinions at either side imagining that an alliance between them could help the Mojave area, but they are just that, exceptions.

So why everyone assumes that the NCR expelling the Followers from the Mormon Fort is a bug?

And please, don't get me the "but there's a slide on the game and the GECK has the script", there's a lot of cut content in the game. Maybe with future DLCs expanding the story and adding more information this will change, but for what I've seen until now, there is no bug in this decision.

Because after you get Idolized with the followers and you give them enough supplies, a dialoge option is open that is about makign an alliance between them and either Mr House, the NCR or Independent New Vegas, but no matter what you choose the NCR always expells them even if an alliance was made, and they always get overflown by patents even if the Securitrons are supossed to protect them and you are giving them supplies.
So Its a bug.

Strange, I don't have this dialog even I'm being idolized by the Followers.

It's a bug, because the dialog option is there, but the condition is wrong. It is very very doubtful that they cut out content with changing the display conditions from "<" to ">". If at all, they would have removed the option completely, just like they have done to everything else that was cut (Ulysses, as example).
