Think about it. The NCR is essentially a developed nation state at this point. They have the infrastructure and systems to maintain hegemony over the Mojave and keep the Legion remnants and raiders at bay.

Mr House doesn't have quite as much of an infrastructural advantage, but he does have a metric shitload of money and securitrons, which are much more efficient than NCR soldiers. House was a powerful, intelligent authoritative figure who could have kept a tight leash on the Mojave and maintained peace.

Yes Man/Benny couldn't have ruled properly. Without the Courier, they dont have any way to properly maintain peace with just securitrons. The Mojave might have been ok without rulers through this path, but I get the feeling that raiders would become a serious problem.

Legion is an obvious shit-tier choice.

Well, I don't think the NcR is doing so well; they're spreading themselves too thin across the Mojave and are not fully training their troops or equipping tem properly- they literally get two weeks of training. Adding to that is the corruption and politics within the NCR that I don't think they can hold Vegas adequately until they have sorted out their own issues.

House? Yes. He has an army that doesn't need training or feeding, he has the economy, he has the manufacturing capabilities within his grasp Andre knows how to duly exploit te resources in his area to give him space travel and a man on another planet by 2370. If not him, then I'd pick Yes Man (If the courier gets Khans, Boomers, Brotherhood, Enclave Remnant and the stuff from Big MT and TheDivide on their side) due to having a union of all Vegas factions.

Legion is a no-go. That said, under Caesar's Rule (Not Lanius), life may be somewhat decent- owing to that it's assured that all raiders and bandits would be exterminate. Though we don't know about Legion civilian life, I feel, to fully judge. All we have seen are it's army bases.

Yes Man betrays you if you side with him and the Legion is morally bankrupt, so I agree 100%

NCR is honestly the best choice just because of Colonel Moore

NCR does have some problems within its infrastructure but I think its systems are strong enough and its people faithful enough to the cause to keep it up and running

I'm concerned about the faction union in a Yes Man option because they don't have any real reason to stay unified after the immediate threat of the Legion is dealt with. They'd return to self-government and soft anarchy. Is that necessarily a bad thing? I dunno. The Mojave is a very unique place. Maybe the individual communities could have run off the raiders.. maybe not. It took a hell of a lot of convincing from the Courier just to get Goodsprings to cast out the Powder Gangers intruding on their land. This is the most ambiguous option and probably the most interesting

Legion would have enslaved like half the population. Under Caeser they would have had effective rule of law and military hegemony over the Mojave, but Legion government would only benefit the unenslaved

Also, is their any thing good traits the Khans have? I feel like I would easily kill them since I feel their just bad guys to me
getting them on your side is mostly just an insurance policy so that you dont have to deal with them violently


i always just slaughtered them

NCR for fucking life.

Mr. House just wants to use you for his own ends and couldn't give two shits about you.

Legion is shit-tier.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Who said I was thinking about others or for the future?

Yes Man all the way. After I'm dead, fuck the Mojave, it can have a nuclear winter.

If the game wasn't so content biased for the NCR I'd go legion every time. Trouble is that if you do the majority of the mojave just becomes a giant killing ground, which is fun for a few hours but when all the merchants are dead and the NPCs crucified it gets a bit dull.

We really needed a 5th DLC o open up the area east of the river to allow all that fun Legion goodness.

Do you lobotomise Caeser?

True, but the trouble is if the legion is just being led by a beast rather than a learned fellow like Caesar it's going to turn into a pack of savages anyway.

I don't see lanius caring much about the economics/trade routes/social policies side of things and more about how many NCR meatshields he can fit onto one bayonet <_<

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
But all the endings are the same. Just with different factions.

If the game continued after then it would matter.

Actually, slavery isn't nearly as common in the civilian territories. Sure, medicine and alcohol are disallowed (Okay, the former is kind of crap) but I'm pretty sure slaves are rare(r) in civilian life. It sucks the legion towns got cut, I don't feel like I can make a full opinion on a faction when I only see it's military camps.

well the ending cards for both the legion endings say they enslave a large portion of the population

and any more than 0 slavery attracts the wrath of my courier.
