>choosing anything other than independent Vegas.
>>
If you're a boring fag you could choose the NCR, if you're an "euphoric" retard it is entirely possible that House projects may be your thing, however I never understood those who choose the legion since this is just a mob of angry primitivists with fascist tendencies, I mean all the other factions are flawed but at least they have a core belief that make sence (House wan't to leave the earth, the NCR is your good old fashioned everyday kinda boring but somewhat not so bad democracy thing and yes man ending is the ultimate selfish shit but it make sence in a purely individualistic way) seriously if there is a legion lover out there I realy want to know why.

If you do all the side quests the Mojave Wasteland as a whole is more balanced at the end. It's still a shitty place to live because it's the Mojave Wasteland, but slightly less so.

Why does everyone think that ending means that the Courier is going to become God King of the Mojave? It's "no gods, no masters" not "I'm the master". The Mojave communities go back to taking care of themselves just like they did before the NCR and Legion showed up. Except now there's an army of robots to keep Raiders and Deathclaws off the roads.

yes man is the type of asspull that i don t like in games. That said i'd still pick house, my courier was not a 10 int absolute genius and even if he was he lacks the pre-war knowledge, experience and the immortality that house has.

Even if he could get cryo'd he'd rather not.

>>377997714
House has been alive since the Great War and even calculated when it would happen, in which afterwards he made the right preperations to protect Vegas from the incoming warheads. Because of his long lifespan and great mind, he knows more than anybody else in the Mojave and perhaps the entire America on how he would bring humanity to its former glory and then colonising space.

I sided with NCR just because it seems like the most honest choice. It's a system that everyone is aware is corrupt and leaking, but the angle of the game is that with the Courier around to patch the leaks, the NCR might shape up from the inside out and their nature as a republic could end up being the best benefit for the greater populace. Imo, the future of the Mojave is safest with NCR since the Legion are almost comically evil while House is senile, selfish and doesn't care for anything other than his strip. You could make a case for Independent Vegas but it's essentially leaving the Mojave as you found it, albeit with safer trade routes.
>>
>>377998275

there's always a use for a loyal terminator
>>
>>377998275
Why would he murder his most loyal subject? When the Courier got into the bunker with the stored Securitrons he could've just destroyed them like Caesar wanted but instead he chose to do House's bidding. House understands gratitude when he sees it, he even rewarded the people of Goodsprings because they helped the Courier.
>>
>>377998362
I doubt even the Courier would be able to fix the entire NCR. A task of that magnitude would need its own game.
As for Independent Vegas, I'd say making it independent with its own army to fend off factions like the NCR from trying to interfere with their own ideals is a pretty big deal.
>>
>>377998745
he does influence the NCR actions like having them help out the followers and ending the feud with BOS.
>>
>>377999112
Yeah, but the NCR is a lot bigger than New Vegas. He might be able to do it if he dedicated his life after the events of the game to it, but I view The Courier's adventure as being done once the game ends. Like the other Fallout protagonists where they retire afterwards.
>>
The best way to help the NCR is to take either Independant or House. By doing the NCR ending you're putting both New Vegas and NCR on the road to disaster. At face value, yeah, the dam is cool. But literally the only reason they get it is because an unstoppable war machine took it solo and handed it over. The NCR will only get weaker after this because they'll continue their campaign of nonstop expansionism resulting in inevitable collapse

If you want to help the NCR they HAVE to lose the dam (not counting helping the Legion assrape everything for obvious reasons). This causes turmoil in the NCR leadership and helps oust the retarded officials who believe in the nonstop expansionism and likely gets them replaced with people who know what the fuck they're doing. This is better for everyone involved.

Yes Man almost ruins the game for me just because everyone else in the game ignores his existence. You can't tell House he has a bug in the system, you can't suggest using the Secruitrons under your control to be used as cannon fodder in the Battle of Hover Dam for the NCR or Legion.

I really wish the 'you pissed off everyone' ending was to just walk away from it all instead of having Yes Man as the fail-safe.

Independent Vegas doesn't mean you're going to rule it, you dumb niggers. There's no mention of the Courier's rule in the ending slides and there's a clear lack of leadership in New Vegas with shit like Freeside deteriorating further.
You're simply building the groundwork for New Vegas as an independent faction that's free to go its own way instead of looking to the failed ideologies of the past. The courier's job is done after that and the Mojave wasteland can develop freely for better or worse, protected from outside influence by the securitrons. Laterally the theme of the game.

House and Independent are the worst choices in the long term, instead of being a part of a larger civilization you act essentially like a city state. Robots aren't going to mean shit when someone organizes a group four states away and pulls another Caesar, the long term problem is you can't account for things outside of your small sphere of influence so you're fucked the next time a new government gets power and land. NCR did it, Khans did it in some endings, Caesar did it, it's going to keep happening and eventually one of those big factions full of people and land are going to stumble upon your shit.

NCR and Legion falling just paves the way for another group, as it stands the setting has shown that large scale organization is still possible so it's reasonable to assume New Vegas is going to be dealing with new groups like that over and over. It might take a very long time, possibly a few hundred years, but eventually a stable society with factories and technology and stability is going to find the Vegas area and by then it's all over unless New Vegas is just the start of something bigger. Not expanding enough is just as bad as over expanding

Actually, if you look at his actual backstory you'll find that House, while of reasonable intelligence, only got to where he did and as far as he did through luck. His luck just happened to run out on October 23rd, 2077. He practically spells it out for you even.

you missed the point. NCR would effectively be the best option for the wasteland in the long run. they're organized and have a government. while it aims to increase it's wealth, NCR citizens at least don't have to sleep with a gun under their pillows.

on a side note, Minutemen would make a great runner up candidate for the best option since they also aim to unify a land under one flag but while keeping everyone a free man.

His entire backstory pretty much reflects that he does. You're telling me that a guy that: trained the White Legs to crush the New Canaanites (successfully), LEFT the Legion without consequence because of how much Caesar respected him, talked to the Think Tank without getting lobotomized, had long conversations with Elijah, survived the sundering of the Divide AND the aftermath, completely reprogrammed the ED-E facility AND the Hopeville silos, didn't have 10s across the board? I can understand how you'd feel differently about BEAR AND BULL, but his backstory definitely reflects the stats he was given.

Ulysses didn't blow up the divide and the reason he hunts down the courier to prove to the courier that seemingly meaningless actions have dire consequences. The reason he does this is that not only is Ulysses fucked up from the fact that his home was destroyed, the Courier is walking the exact same path that Ulysses did. Everything that occurs in the game, outside of the destruction of the Divide, is the direct fault of Ulysses. The point of the DLC is to show the Courier that he's walking a Lonesome Road, one that Ulysses has also walked. It's really unfortunate that people didn't really pay attention to LR so they only complain about MUH BEAR MUH BULL rather than the message as a whole. Same thing happens with people missing the message of Dead Money because of how much of a nightmare it is the first go around.

I don't love legion but I feel like Vegas Strip would be taken over by them eventually due to fact they pretty much took over a good portion of the Midwest. But with the impending death of Caesar is the death of the legion, so I assume the vegas strip would fall to ex-legion-turned-raider gangs after the invasion. I chose the independent vegas in the end. My assumption was that at least the citizens of vegas could live free for a bit before getting suffocated by the legion and either killed or enslaved.

if caesar is dead then you either did something wrong or you were intentionally trying to sabotage the legion, in which case you wouldn't have picked the legion ending. curing him is one of the easiest quests in the entire game if you've already cleared Vault 34, which you should have by that late in the game.

caesar is creating an environment of brotherhood and trust specifically because he knows he will die one day and can no longer lead. he's working a long term strategy. when you fight and kill alongside certain people your entire life, it doesn't matter who is commanding you. you will develop an extremely strong bond with those men and legionaries will actively seek out a new leader for themselves.

Direct copy wasn't the right word, but my point still stands. The conquering and integration of tribes as well as the reliance on slave labor are obvious parallels.

As we all know, RobCo had a monopoly on both these things. Never did anyone else get advanced computers, like the fictional ZAX, and energy weapons? Forget about it.

What an asshole he was to keep these things all to himself. Or, to put it another way, no. You analogy is ridiculous because House used things widely available in Pre-War America. Not his problem in the slightest if every other organization that could have set up their own defensive grids chose not to.

Nice lie guy.

House is a business man and only cares about only profits in sense. So if the MC were to ever to because useless or a burden to him House would just find someone new to take his place and get rid of him. House only cares about things and people as long as he can get some value out of them and different towards everything else not hostile to him.

Like House is the type of nigga who would let someone die in-front of him even if he could save them if he could get nothing out of them and if they were alone with no one to talk shit to ruin his rep and make people more wary of them.

House is not nice. He is ultimately self serving looking to build a vision of the past in the present just like all other of the major factions in the game aside from the Yes Man..

I like Legion because of Raul, Vulpes, Caesar himself, and Ulysses.

The picture they all paint of the legion isn't really of a terrible people, but EVERY member of the legion you see in NV is the 'army' of the legion, not the people of the legion.

I feel they really needed some fleshing out, and even without fleshing out, their goals seemed more realistic than NCR's, because their totalitarian ways were objectively more superior in controlling a vast wasteland filled with shit that would kill you faster than the legion ever would.

Legion is also better for involved neutral parties, due to safer trade routes and little taxation. That's just an objective fact.
>>
>>378034882
I don't know how you got that from Ulysses. Ulysses was very blunt about how shitty the Legion is and what it did to him and his family.
>>
>>378035356
Yet if you confront Ulysses as a member of the Legion, you can convince him to put down his arms in 2 lines of dialogue and 0 Speech by calling him back to you. He realizes you're right and joins you, realizing that his ideals were dumb.

He was intended to be a follower, and in early development, a legion follower. He was designed to be one of the only sympathetic legion characters due to his problems with the Legion, much like Cass and the NCR.

I am 99% sure that is a mod because I have never seen that and there is nothing about that on any of the wikis. The only way to get him to stand down is either through collecting the logs/ED-Es logs (and stating the proper things) or through speech checks.

I honestly wouldn't mod at all for your first playthrough. The only exception is if you're on Windows 8/10 because then NVSE and NVAC become required or the game crashes on startup. Also Zan's AutoPurge Crash Protector is a necessity on 10 if you don't want the game to crash every hour like clockwork.

I would have said this a couple years ago. But mods are pretty well polished and you can definitely run some big name ones with no issue if you want. At the very least I would run a hi-rez texture pack, a weather mod, interior lighting overhaul and some other realism polish. It really helps bring the game into 2017.
>>
>>378042857
>>378042849
It's not related to fucking mods you retards. W10 Anniversary update literally broke the game and it can't be started without NVAC. Gamebryo RAM cache doesn't play nice with W10 so if you don't have something that purges the cache, the game will crash every 45 minutes to an hour. Jesus Christ, learn to fucking read or don't talk about things you don't know about. You just prove yourself to be fucking stupid.

So... mods which alter the vanilla state do not alter the vanilla experience? Just because you say it doesn't make it so. A MODIFICATION which MODIFIES the game MODIFIES the experience from the non-modded version. It doesn't matter what the MODIFICATION is. Anything that alters the default is no longer the default. Your mental gymnastics will never change that fact.

Because House is smarter than the courier, probably even at INT 10

Read any of the backstory about him, House is a kind of man who only comes around every few centuries. The courier is special no doubt, but he's no House.

>his plans
bullshit

you also lack his experience, connections, and direct all-seeing eye across the wasteland. there is absolutely no indication that the Courier will be remotely as successful as House, who is a fucking genius and nearly omnipotent. Being his second in command means you can let him do his shit, while living in luxury and having nothing to worry about other than doing what you do best and killing people once in a while, maybe. Taking over New Vegas for yourself means you get the burden of running absolutely EVERYTHING, which one person no matter how talented is not going to be able to handle. To be remotely effective, you're going to have to delegate, and just because the Courier has the plot armor of being unstoppable because he's the player character doesn't mean his cronies will be similarly invincible.

If you actually thought about it, instead of being such a fucking lemming and seeing "you get to be in charge!!!" and rushing straight ahead for it, you would realize it's much preferable to settle for being second in command when the first in command is instantly capable of handling every bit of organization for you

the mayor of a city where everyone but you is incapable of getting shit done and not one but two full sized armies are pissed the fuck off at you, yes

the NCR arent going to sit idly by forever, and then what are you going to do when they come back? wait for your AI companion (who, by the way, holds all the REAL power) to do all the heavy lifting when they just got done fucking everyone else they've come into contact with over, or run out and handle it yourself leaving your nation without a leader? what happens when a new Benny pops up and starts fucking you over? With the story of the game over, there's no reason to assume Courier still has plot armor, he's a human like anyone else, like he was before NV when he got blindsided and headshot by a couple of druggies and a prettyboy with a pistol

Now, what if i told you you could have all the benefits that come with being in charge, with none of the hassle of actually organizing and maintaining it yourself nor painting a big red target on your back, just by settling for "second in command" instead of going for TOP DOG just for the sentimental value of being TOP DOG? Yes, taking everything for yourself is a fucking retarded decision in comparison, because you gain absolutely nothing but sentiment and a shit ton more responsibility and danger

>>378052520

The Legion is 30-40 years old, while NCR is roughly 100 and has had the Gun Runners working alongside them for most of that century, the Gun Runners themselves lucking out during their formative years by finding a stockpile of military weapon blueprints to work from

There were a hell of a lot more tribals in Arizona than there were in California, so size has nothing to do with it

On your planet, you probably would hail Mugabe as some supremely intelligent being.

The Kings had locked down Freeside. They were my friends. The Securitrons had locked down Vegas. They were under my command, and would likely be for 100 years.

NCR had brokered a treaty with me. I took out the Legion, but maybe, just MAYBE they didn't like that. Fuck em. If they want to take back Vegas, they'll have to come over the walls, while getting bombed to shit and back by the Boomers, the Brotherhood of Steel, Jacobstown, Novac, Primm, Goodsprings, and every other little village that saw me as their one true hope, all with their hopelessly spread-thin army. When they finally get in, they'll find themselves overrun with souped-up securitrons and getting blown to shit by an invincible courier that has mastered every weapon and fighting technique there is, employed with VATS, and loaded with 200 stimpacks and superstimpacks.

>Now, what if i told you you could have all the benefits that come with being in charge

Whenever I see someone who doesn't understand the appeal of the Legion, I just assume that they are really, really dumb. Like honestly, you can boil it down to:

LEGION: Idealogues basing their ideology off of the quest to change the nature of man

HOUSE: Unapologetic pragmatism with all of the problems that implies (some people left behind / stomped on)

>>378054373
>Age doesnt mean shit
What a retarded argument. Of course it fucking does. NCR has spent decades longer growing and building up supply networks and setting up large scale manufacturing systems. Caesar steamrolled a bunch of backward assholes in half the time and it's a miracle anything works as well as it does without a centralized government. His civilian population in the neutral towns isn't working to support the Legion like NCR's population feeds the Army, the Legion supports itself.

Caesar recognizes the Enclave Remnants for the elite soldiers they are and lets them be because hunting them down gains him absolutely nothing. The Boomers get let off because they're a bunch of dangerous xenophobes, even though the Legion is perfectly capable of taking Nellis AFB and does so in at least one ending.

The NCR is and always will be slapped together

If you played fallout 2 you'd realize that while they might exist, they didn't just pop into existance but survived against enclave and brotherhood making their prospective growth very slow but steady

Caeser was/is brilliant and fought tribals, with no other forces outside BoS midwest(Though no records of them fighting) meaning they lived in a bubble all things considered

They WILLFULLY throw away technology that could help them, Thats the ENTIRE POINT of them

This is the downfall ultimately, because they have no marketable skills besides invading and if they run out of space to invade it crumbles

The NCR is shit, but they are more diverse in skill set than the legion, and would be closer to a "normal society" than the legion as the legion would literally make us reinvent the wheel when its not needed

Also if the Midwest brotherhood ever wanted to, they'd show the legion how retarded they are with 30,000 guys in power armor facerolling them
>>
>>378055327
Did you? Caesar literally has brain cancer. He dies, Legion dissolves into warmongering tribes.

House is the only one who actually has a plan, calculated years ahead.

>>
Legion was the only faction that had a vision for the future, and felt like they truly wanted to create a better wasteland.

The NCR caked their pants so hard that they stagnated indefinitely. They hadn't expanded in who knows how long, and they couldn't even handle their one job of 'keeping NV safe.' Their higher ups were more focused on giving totally pointless as fuck speeches to the troops instead of actually solving problems. Even if they had somehow managed to drive the Legion of out the Mojave, they would have taken at least twenty years just to recover back to their already shitty state. By that point the Legion would have regrouped and been primed to obliterate them.

House is a retard. His ending even states that New Vegas was cold and harsh after his rule, much like 1984. They would have eventually rebelled, or everyone would have left. Even assuming neither of these things happened, NV would have no chance for growth or expansion. They would remain a shitty little gambling town until some bigger guy came along and annexed them.

Same goes for independent. Seems great at first, but there's no plan for the future. No leadership coupled with an ever-thinning Securitron army would eventually lead to a total standstill, resulting in mass migration or eventual hostile takeover.

The Legion wanted to unify the wasteland, and was already making great progress. Dialogue with various Legion NPCs state that their tribes were awful little groups of savages until Caesar unified them. Justifying slavery and crucifixion is hard, because society now deems those things evil. But post-nuclear annihilation, those options were probably the most utilitarianism choice.

>Only ones that a vision
NCR wants to annex it, just like Legion

Caeser knows his legion is/will fall apart if he dies
He stated that he needs the legion to transform to lording over a peaceful civilian empire(hence the bid for NV) and thus if he fails, its game over(as he is on the brink of death)

This is proven if Legate takes it over, as he just murders everyone rather than do as Casear pleases...Almost like the actual Roman empire

Marxists (of the "intellectual" flavor) realized after the numerous failures of communism that the utopia is unobtainable without first changing the nature of man. The problems that communism always faces are not an intrinsic flaw of the systems themselves, but of the men that inhabit them. Therefore, by removing the weaknesses that fell the systems, the systems will work perfectly.

In a nutshell. Caesar hints at this when he brings up Hegelian dialectics.

>House is the only one who actually has a plan, calculated years ahead.
House is a Machiavellian which works very well in most encounters but he has proven that he isn't always correct (remember how that platinum chip got lost in the first place? It was because he was wrong.) The player character is also a free radical that he can't control, which further undermines his credibility as "all-seeing overlord." He's a gamble.

For adults, the question will always be House versus Legion. Let the children play at the other factions.

The Legion makes no sense for anyone who has even the slightest bit of self-interest.

Caesar has no problem punishing anyone who works for him if they fail. It is putting yourself in danger to help him.

He power trips as much as House, but the deal he gives you is worse. With House you at least get to be his second and live like a King. With Caesar you're just a merc and your reward is getting your face on a coin.

He also has literal brain damage and will sperg out if you bother him while he has his "headache" and order you killed.

Caesar pays you every three days with Legion money and boxes of stuff he has no use for. He gives you far more than any of the other factions will

He's not a particularly hard man to read, either. By the time you've finished your first conversation you should know that while he's fucking full of himself he's also the undisputed lord of everyone around him and is both willing and able to have you punched into Courier tartar on a word. Take your cue from the people around him and don't mention it

>implying legion would actually collapse without caeser
>what is the transfer of power

Legate Lanius would be the next in line, whether it be by ceremony or by force. He'd immediately swoop in and take control, and he'd do it well b ecause Legate Lanius is an absolutely brutal cold motherfucker. Anyone who would try to rebel would be immediately crucified.

I'm not defending Caeser here, but to say that the entire legion is gonna flip when he dies is stupid. As long as Lanius is alive when it happens, the Legion will live on.

>>378057238
Not him but
>Trusting a brutal warlord who claims of moral high ground

Would you believe in an african warlord if he told you this shit?

The only "positives" that the legion has is because its a millitary, not because of moral or just reasons

Caesar has said, straight from his mouth that his current incarnation of the legion sucks balls, Hence him wanting to build a new legion and a new nation

Since Caesar is dying(of cancer or old age, your choice) we get an insight into his number two would be

Legate, who is a straight up lunatic that just wants to murder everything because lolmurder

Literally any faction is better then Legion

And why does that mean he can't lead it? If anything that just means that Lanius would go even farther to ensure his victory as he has no withdrawals from sending men to their death.

Has no one considered that Caesar is adopting a Megalomaniac attitude and he just thinks "OH UH YA IM THE ONLY ONE WORTHY TO LEAD SO THIS LEGION IS FUCKED WHEN I DIE"

Which is why I enjoy discussing the game, I just consider House and Legion to be the most sensible gambles, with the Legion being the more noble of the two.

I don't want to overdo the reply, but Ulysses touches on this with... well, his entire character. He talks at length about how much impact one individual can have on the grand scale, how much one person not doing what was expected can fuck everything up or make everything better. What's to say there isn't another person with the will to match that of the Courier, considering Caesar, House, Ulysses, and Benny (arguably) all had just as much will to change the world?

But if Lanius takes over, The legion becomes nothing more than a mace that is used to hit societies with, eventually they will run out of space to invade then 180 and hit the east midwest brotherhood and then the east coast brotherhood

>>378058367
>>378057569
Lanius is a general and the only man who could lead the Legion as an army after the death of Caesar but he can't replace him.

Caesar gave the Legion direction and purpose. He kept his goals of "merging" with NCR to himself. Lanius has done nothing but follow Caesar's orders, he hasn't been groomed as an heir, he doesn't care about the Legion as anything beyond an extension of his own legend. He's the Monster of the East, undefeated in battle. If he ever gets the Legion together enough to take the fight back to California, it will be to avenge the stain to his honour for defeating him. Not because he wants to butcher Hegelian Dialectics and create a new hybrid nation.

Lanius is a general. War is all he cares about. And the Legion is rapidly approaching the size where nothing but constant war will destroy it rather than sustain it.

>And if you played tactics
>They ain't getting very far even with all those men
I'm actually curious as to the power they have. What could possibly stop an absolutey MASSIVE LEGION of soldiers? It'd be like the entire US Population against a single organization at that point, with Caeser enslaving everyone and breeding completely new warriors.

>Lanius is a general.
He is a general. Not a centurion and not a legionnaire. He's in charge of an empire's army, not the tactics of a battle. He worries more about mustering troops and setting supply lines than your typical rank-and-file. He leads from the front, but he's ultimately the best in the group to tackle the concept of governance.

Remember -- you can talk him out of the attack.

It could be cancer. It's never really stated.

Of course he doesn't have to die from anything related to his tumor. He could just die from another unrelated illness in the future considering he's retarded and prevents anyone from learning about modern medicine. If he ever gets sick again, no one will have the knowledge required to help him (the auto-doc explicitly doesn't cure everything and is apparently unable to help Arcade).

>Casear states that is worried about insubornation
For his namesake he has a right to be, but more so if he alters the legion to comform to his true idea they might not accept it, since they wonder why these civilians have a better life than they do


>please reword this
Sorry for your low IQ
Caesar dies of old age= Lanius takes charge
If Caesar dies during NV and Lanius wins, He burns down New Vegas, Caesar enslaves somes and peacefully lords over the rest(as he said he would so he can transform the legion)

Caesar is on a death clock, if he can not transform the legion in time, Lanius will take over and Lanius has no interest in philosphy

Imperically speaking he is no better than any polititican that waffles on about how hes going to do good and morally justifies his genocide

He isn't morally stronger than his opponents, hes more effective at murder than his opponents

We and he both know his Legion is a bastard version of real rome, and worshiping his feet/ideas is laughable because hes no more than an extremely well organized raider cult
>>
>>378059503
The Legion is a nomadic army. The vast majority of it is there, massing around Fortification Hill and down the Colorado. There's no raiders in Arizona, no supply lines to protect.

He pulls back because you convince him that, as the Legion is right now, the Mojave will only kill it slowly over time. Which, as the undefeated Legate, he cannot abide. As Ulysses says, and gives you a new way to convince him to leave, you're appealing to his pride.

Absolutely not because the player character influencing the future of the Mojave is the fucking crux of the entire goddamn game. That's absurd.

This operates under the assumption that nothing would happen between [now] and [dying of old age] that would change either the line of succession or Lanius' views. This is not a valid assumption. Things change.

Your argument should center around _why_ this goal is not realistic (in your opinion). This is your central point and you don't seem to realize it. Argue better.

It's "reconnected" because the Great Khans and the Followers have hooked up before. The Followers taught them to make chems because the Khans were living in squalor and their own filth, and then the Khans used than knowledge to become drug dealers.

And then they travel up to Wyoming and find some new Followers who haven't heard about what they did to the Mojave, only this time the Followers teach them much more. "Mighty empire" doesn't exactly sound like they did something good with that knowledge, either.

A change in sucession would cause a change but we don't know who would replace them, but my main point is that only casear and a few others actually KNOW about rome, Casear stated he picked something alien on purpose, Lanius knows NOTHING of ancient rome and how Casear wants to build it up

To him, the Legion is simply to murder everything as seen in the events of NV being taken by Lanius, not Casear

>Why can't he change it
Because hes a man out of time, The average human lives to 70-80 years old with modern tech
Hes around ~60 years old and has a tumor(s) meaning he could get some other ailment that might decline his health or his capacity to lead
Do you rrealistically think he can instill the knowlage of ancient rome and philosphy on a society that has literally built up to do nothing but smash old world beliefs and retain 100% loyalty

Do you think Lanius could identify everything he did wrong and build upon it? Legion does not half self reflection and doesn't allow mistakes, I.E Graham getting his ass on fire

Casear banks on peacefully lording over a civilian empire until his troops get soft enough to instill real Roman ethics into them, Something that would take a generation or two at the best

They do not have education

Let me show you a thing

>At the height of the Roman Republic and later the Roman Empire, the Roman educational system gradually found its final form. Formal schools were established, which served paying students; very little that could be described as free public education existed.[2] Both boys and girls were educated, though not necessarily together.[2]

In a system much like the one that predominates in the modern world, the Roman education system that developed arranged schools in tiers. The educator Quintilian recognized the importance of starting education as early as possible, noting that "memory ... not only exists even in small children, but is specially retentive at that age".[3] A Roman student would progress through schools just as a student today might go from primary school to secondary school and then to college. They were generally exempted from studies during the market days which formed a kind of weekend on every eighth day of the year.[4] Progression depended more on ability than age[2] with great emphasis being placed upon a student's ingenium or inborn "gift" for learning,[5] and a more tacit emphasis on a student's ability to afford high-level education.


Rome LOVED indivisualism, this is why they mirrored their ideas from the greeks, however the Legion disregards every from meds, technology, education

Casear's Legion(showing ownership) is just that
Casear has these retards on a leash and rewards them with futuristic knowlage when he feels fit
