Is there a happy ending for the Followers? : Fallout: New Vegas

All endings seem to be "bad," only the independent Vegas endings even still see them in Freeside!

Well, kind of, but it relies on the ending of another faction. You're right that the endings for the Follower's are all pretty much bad or slightly better than bad, the "best" being:

Spoiler

"After the NCR's victory at the dam, in part thanks to Follower medical support, NCR allowed the Followers to care for refugees as they see fit. Old Mormon Fort expanded its services and was able to aid more people, becoming a refuge for the less fortunate citizens of New Vegas."

However, if you assume they got the bad ending which forced them to leave the Mojave, then assume the Great Khans got this ending:

Spoiler

During the Battle of Hoover Dam, the Great Khans quickly evacuated Red Rock Canyon and headed north and east into the plains of Wyoming. There, they reconnected with the Followers of the Apocalypse and rebuilt their strength. Bolstered by ancient knowledge of governance, economics, and transportation, they carved a mighty empire out of the ruins of the Northwest.

Then that can be considered a "good" ending for the Followers.

I think only the PC had the virtue to be designed to be able to get happy endings. (Zing!)

The ending where the NCR lets them stay is bugged. It exists, but as far as I know, you can't actually get it. Which svcks, since I always become a member of the Followers. So if I support the NCR, they essentially say: "We present you the Golden Branch for your heroism at the dam. Now get the hell out of here."

Really there should be another dialogue if you decide to take over yourself in which you get to decide who prospers and who doesn't,.
