Mr. House, the last hope for the Wasteland, sums them up perfectly. They're ridiculous hypocrites who should just be wiped out.

They make robot slaves and robot slave wranglers. Every other faction is either full of illiterate turnip farmers or people who are scared of technological progress.

I can see why this statist board would like the elitist imperial Reichs these factions represent.

>>59950607
In Fallout 1 and 2, you could see that they were a problem.

The world was getting better. Rebuilding was in progress.
But the Brotherhood stayed locked away, hoarding their technology, when they should be out the Wasteland helping settlements get back on their feet.

The Brotherhood made sense in the early days, when mankind was on the brink of total elimination and preservation of Pre-War tech was important.

The Brotherhood has become a bank that takes money but no longer allows any withdrawals.

But like so many other things, Fallout 3 ruined the series and made it so apparently the world is going to be shit forever and the Wasteland will always be barely hanging on.

In that way, the Brotherhood is a good thing.
But that's shittier than the original idea

>>59950607
Best faction, given what we have to work with. Railroad = aimless vigilantes, Institute = pussies dicking around underground, Minutemen = most neutral but will never be powerful. May as well join the Brotherhood and purge degeneracy.

Anyone who doesn't like the NCR is a faggot.

The NCR is the best faction of all Fallout games. They're US-style democracy, with a manifest destiny-mind. Every faction that fought them was destroyed and they keep extending themselves, annexing everything in their path.

Fallout 3 try to find your father
Fallout 4 try to find.your son
Fallout new Vegas you must choose the fate of west coast factions the strongest factions in the post apoclyptic war using a half machine half human character that's the strongest character in fallout lore

Therefore fallout new Vegas is the best fallout

Yep, and realistically, NCR is going to win and take back America. Unless the Eastern BoS changes and allows more people in their order. NCR wins by pure numbers. Like they did in the west.

>>59954075
Gameplay is good, story kinda sucks and the factions suck. There don't seem to be a ton of side quests either besides endless cookie cutter "clear ghouls out of x".

>>59954332
They actually do have the armor. No, not the salvaged power armor. If you go to the area you nuke in lonesome road you find an NCR guy with the Bear armor, which is working T-45 suit that has been customized. You also find working T-45 suits in crates there. It's likely that NCR has a small number of working T-45 suits for their super duper elite forces. They strip the servos out of most of their armors to keep these few suits working, and use the husks of these stripped armors for their heavy troopers.

NCR probably doesn't have very many T-51b, but you'd think they'd have some of those and some APA kicking around after beating the enclave.

>>59955306
That assumes competent leadership and the foundations of a strong nation, which NCR doesn't have. NCR is corrupt and inefficient, rotten to the core. It panders to special interests and leaves the needs of its people unsatisfied.

NCR is between a rock and a hard place right now. They're in an expansion mode that they can't stop, but it's killing them. NCR needs to keep absorbing more territory to prop up its economy, satisfy the hungers of its elite class, and give a frontier for their poor people to colonize or die trying to get them out of their hair. However, the NCR is biting off more than it can chew. Longer supply lines combined with inefficient administration result in the NCR's forces being weak and under equipped. As we see in LR the NCR has loads of advanced weaponry, Vertibirds (more than just bear force one) and advanced armor. But most of those are protecting the homefront and what we see in the Mojave is troopers with shitty little vests (if that) and peashooter service rifles or even caravan shotguns. The military is stretched too thin. The NCR can barely handle the Legion, it would be fucked trying to go against the midwestern brotherhood which has advanced tech AND numbers.

So if it stops expanding, or slows its expanse, it can ameliorate those problems, but doing so causes problems at home. They will face greater social unrest and be forced to put it down with violence, losing their moral high ground as a democratic society in the process. It will become clear to the people of the NCR that their government now only serves rich resource barons and not the people's interests.

TL;DR, without expansion NCR faces economic collapse and domestic insurrection within 5-10 years. With expansion NCR faces economic collapse, local insurrections in colonized areas and vulnerability to nearly any competent opposing military force within the next 5-10 years. Neither scenario ends well for them.

>>59954650

Its intended. Caeser says he wants to take over the NCR because of their republic and senate, just like Caeser did in real life. He see's Hoover Dam as his rubicon and thinks conquering the NCR will transform the Legion from being a nomadic army into a military force equal of the real Rome.

>>59956106

Assuming that Caesar doesn't plan for his succession. You think he organises the scum of America into a disciplined army and conquers vast swathes of land just to let his legacy die when he dies? The story for the legion was so half-arsed, you get the impression it would do exactly as you said. But come on - realistically, Caesar would secure his succession and legacy.

>>59950607
They're assholes who blew up the gold supply of the NCR, a country who was bringing civilization back again but the Brotherhood of Turks couldn't stand any other faction having technology

>>59952816
>>59956106
That's where the courier comes in. It's bullshit that the story stops at the end. It could've continued where the courier becomes Caesar's successor

>>59957105

Legate Lanius is Caesar's successor.

>>59956816
And what if he happens to die of a disease or some kind of random illness. It is post apocalyptic america were talking about. I doubt vaccines or medicine is advanced as it was before. He could easily go the way of Alexander the Great irl. And suffer the same fate in turn. Siding with the Legion is just to risky for me. Houses idea of building a space ship with the profits from new vegas and sending people to colonise another planet is a riskier but more promising idea.

>>59957823

Or, as Ulysses implied, Vulpes was Caeser's *intended* successor.

Caesars Legion is the canonically safest area in the entire known world. Caravans do not need guns or security guards because the area is so safe. Of course the extreme safety of the lands comes with slavery and the Legion being ruthless, but being a free man under Legion territory is probably the safest life you can have.

>>59957877

Did you actually play the game? Or are you just not following my logic? The in-game year is 2281. Caesar's Legion has existed since 2247. Are you telling me, that in the thirty threeish years it has existed, that Caesar did not even think to consider his mortality and the succession of his mighty, brutal empire and civilisation?

Unless the Canadian Fallout NV was censored of the Legion for being the pure antithesis of all things Trudeau.

>>59958208

That doesn't matter. From the way Vulpes celebrates if Caeser is kept alive, and the various digs they have at each other (Lanius calling Vulpes a "man of words" and "trecherous") its implied the two of them at at odds regarding succession. And from what we know, if Caser dies, Vulpes does indeed back down from Lanius. Although the Legion under Vulpes would be just as bad, he's a brilliant tactician but a horrible man. He's one of the few people with "Very Evil" Karma, surpassing even Lanius and has shown he's not above using nuclear warfare (Camp Searchlight) to achieve his goals.

Yeah, so much that being compared with it is the go to insult in politics.

>>59959720

I would assume he doesn't plan on dying and he intends to give the throne to his own offspring. He might even heirs not mentioned back home.

You see a glint of this when he says "I will have my Rome. Conquring Vegas will transform the Legion from basically a nomad tribe into a standing military power that protects its citizens and the power of *its* dictator".

Notice he doesn't say "my power". As it stands, the Legion is a nomadic tribe dependant on Caeser, but if you listen to his rambling about Hegelian dialectics, he intends for Hoover Dam to change his legion into a real civilization. And because he sause he says "its dictator" instead of "me", he's most refering to furture successors.

But you're right, the Legion is almost a plot point because they didn't have time to develop them properly. Ulysses was supposed to be a Legion companion and so forth.

>Hitler's dead and we still revere his political system don't we?

you do, but after Hitler's death, there is no unified national socialist movement, no new fuhrer. national socialism at the moment is a handful of people with no power at all, divided into several organizations, arguing about what nazism should be and who to follow. pretty much the same thing happened to fascists, francoists and every totalitarian dictatorship that didn't turn into basically hereditary monarchies, like North Korea or Cuba, or transformed themselves like Maoist China or Stalin's USSR.

so yeah, it seams like these movements/states do fall apart once the greal leader is dead.

That's entirely speculation. It's already shown within the written lore that if Cesar dies, Lanius takes over while Vulpes backs down. Therefore Lanius is killed by the courier at Hoover. Which means either Vulpes will take the postion as de facto leader or the Legion collapses entirely. And even with Vulpes in power the legion is merely a former shell of itself.

To be honest, I think all systems do. Rome, The British Empire, Socialism, Monarchy - over time they've all fallen apart. Even Capitalism, a system that relies on human greed, is being eroded, though it still seems to be safe for now.

I just don't think humans can ever commit to a system forever. I bet the Romans felt just as secure in their civilization as many of us do now. "Oh, we won't ever go back to ignorance and world war, we've learned our lessons!" How many times do we have to learn them? Liberals especially are developing into what you could call cup-cake fascists themselves. And then I give them 10 years before someone gets sick of their shit and overthrows them.
