I want some cool Legion armor, but apparently the only way to get it is to strip a corpse. Kind of bizarre that if you're NCR you can go kill that Centurion and take his suit, but if you're loyal to the Legion they never give you so much as a Recruit Helmet.

I've done the whole Legion questline up to the point where it's ready to send me on the final battle. I want to go into battle dressed like a real Legionnaire!

Is Caesar ever going to give me a chance to suit up, or should I go bushwhack some guy when no one's looking and steal his shoes?

Why would they give you a suit? If I help the US military, do they give me fatigues to wander around town in? You're not enlisted, boyo.

I know it's common behavior in games, but let's not take the contrary as bizarre.

It's not so much bizarre as disappointing. The devs know some of us like playing dress-up; it just seems unnatural for them to not anticipate working with the Legion and wanting to dress appropriately.


First off, it's pretty weird that I can't enlist, for a number of reasons I won't bother to expound upon unless you insist

Off the top of my head, there are a couple good reasons for them to give me a suit.

1) Reward for merit. The game itself actually builds up this expectation with the whole conversation with the Centurion. He's all, "My armor proves how sweet I am. This armor only goes to the sweetest of the sweet. Don't you wish you could go do a bunch of quests for Caesar and prove how sweet you are? If you were sweet like me you could get this armor, but you're not nearly that sweet." And so forth. No other well-written movie, book, or game would issue a challenge like that and deliver zero followthrough. The Caesar owes me his freakin life, and what do I get? Experience points and a "good job, stranger".

2) Simple. I agree that for walking around town I might not need it, but on a battlefield, armies wear uniforms to keep from shooting their own people. I don't know what the final battle is going to look like (please don't spoil it! ), but if I'm going to be spending any time walking around near active Legion troops in a live fire situation, I want them to know at a glance that I'm not just some dangerous-looking, unpredictable Profligate woman. I think Caesar would want them to know that, too, especially since I imagine he has a special role in mind for me.

There should be some guy who sells disguises for every faction

I hate having to get some faction or group armour/clothing by murdering people

I'm pretty sure the US military wouldn't expect a consultant to have to kill one of their own just to get some fatigues...

I'm with the OP, it is pretty bizarre that if you want armour of the faction you are working for you need to kill your faction members.

Don't tell me.... Still can't believe that there is not an option for Rangers Combat Armor either. :sadvaultboy:

In my experience, you can wear the faction armor as long as you have good standing with that group. Actually, you can wear it without good standing, but the dogs and MPs will know you're a fraud.

So I think I'm going to have a little chat with my good friend Mr. Console and hopefully everything will work out OK. :whistling:
