the ultimate opportunist path. Side with as many factions as possible & play them against each other if I can.

sweet, lol. personally im going to make like 8 games and screw around with them all

hey since you're the Vault Tec CEO - how about sending me one of those Pip Boy 3M's ? :goodjob:

You know, I'm not so sure. I'll probably end up going with the most opportunistic path, plus who actually appeals to me personally more, but what I'd like to do, is really role-play it. Say things that my character would say (even if it gets me in trouble), and side with factions/companions that that character would side with.

I guess I'll have to wait and see.

the 3rd route, working for the Vegas Mafia, keep Vegas independent.

I'll be siding with the faction that has the biggest wallet.

i know the NCR is my last choice so far, too goody two shoes for me

I'll probably either work for Mr.House or alone.
Of course, that may change during my first playthrough when I'll, you know, hear people's motivations, be able to see my options, gauge the gameplay better etc.

New California Republic but if they turn out to be "goody boring 2 shoes" then ima goin neutral and killing everyone in my way.

Caesars Legion.
I will never complete another factions quest if CL hates them.

Trust me: They're not. Granted, they're a lot more "good" compared to all the other bastards out in the wastelands, especially given their anti-slavery stance, but to paraphrase their former president Tandi from Fallout 2: She knows when to deal with a snake when she has to. And they did. (EDIT: You'll probably have to do a little digging to get the "dirt" on the NCR, because on the surface they intentionally present themselves to be "goody two shoes")

As for me, I'm simply going to follow the main quest and try to stay as neutral as possible without siding with anybody. During the game, however, I'm going to look around, investigate, and ask everybody about all three major factions, and try to learn what goes behind the scenes. Once I've learned all I think I need to know, then I'll pick a side based on what I think is ultimately good for the wasteland in the long term.

AHEM. You seem to have forgotten about Mr. House, OP. :stare:

I don't know why, but whenever I kill innocents or use people for monitary gain, even if this is only a game, I feel bad lol. SOOO I guess I'm going to go with the NCR.

I recall a fourth option; siding with the wastelanders.

Although I'll probably side with the NCR; peace through power.

What Sojur said. The NCR does represent the force or order and security in the wasteland, but they're not a bunch of do goody feebs like the east coast brotherhood was. They're very much into pursuing their own interests, sometimes with great ruthlessness (See Fallout 2). In my opinion it's their mix of civilized values and unrelenting expansionism which makes them the most interesting faction, especially compared to the more simplistic loot 'n burn style of the Legion. I'll probably play solo in my first game, but if forced to choose between the NCR or the Legion, I'll choose the NCR.

NCR all the way.

I'm probably gonna side with House but I don't know yet. The Legion sounds interesting but the NCR sound like a bunch of boy scouts. I still got 3 weeks to decide what my 1st files going to do then the next two will be the opposite of what I did in the 1st file.

OR MR. House

NCR, probably. Though the Legion does sound interesting too.. If NCR are "peace through power", then they may be "peace through slavery". Dunno about Mr House or the Fourth Option (wastelanders?) since we know little about their situation or agenda...

First time through I'll go NCR, on hardcoe then stop when I can't take the maschism anymore,
then I'll go with CL,
then I'll go with Mr.House,
after that I'll do a solo playthrough,
then i'll side with the BoS if I can,
then I'll join as many factions as possible,
then I'll go through and play through each of those stories again, in Wild Wasteland mode,
then I'll make sure I have every trophy.
Then I'll be able to play just effin around.

I was never that guy who always has to be in some sort of faction, I usually never start the main quest in FO3 cuz i dont want to be in the BOS, i liked just being a wanderer, i was never the big hero celebrity guy, just that person in the background, even outside of playing video games, sooo..... im loneing the [censored]

Will depend on my character.

My first one is the guy who sees some pros to each faction.

It will be difficult for him to decide.

The vegas mafia in Fallout is Omerta

Caesar's Legion all the way. What not fun about dressing in shinny armor a red cape and making money by being a slavor.
