Well, I wouldn't support them if there was a better choice, like, if Lyons Brotherhood tried to help west coast then I'd root for them even if they are goody goody two shoes.
But I see no one other than Legion to be best for the entire west coast.
Quite sad really.
I get to choose from a real world diplomatic equivilant who is going to fall apart, a 200 year old man who only cares about "his" city and Legion who wants to reset the world through brutality. :confused:
No one is good really but I still have to choose humanity over instant comfort.
So Legion it is.
Will be a long century(ies) of blood sweat and tears but out of it something great will arise.

As if, seems like you just read it in the forums...You're only opinion is that the Legion takes over until the end of time, that doesn't make any sense at all. Plus the Boomers would probably actually not get wiped out by legion and bomb their asses.

It depends, if Caesar rules he leaves them be, if Lanius is there, they die.

Depends on the courier's actions. Ignore them, they get wiped out. Make them help the Legion and they will be left alone.

Yes, the Legion are the best choice from what we're given. Well, I actually prefer independence, but out of the three plausible options it's the Legion. Although I think it's odd the model themselves after Rome. What lead to Rome's downfall? Political corruption and greed, which is basically the NCR.

The kings are funny, but they have no control. I put the powerful factions, that have control in the mojave.

What do the kings do? They try to be kings and wannabe thugs.
People like the Followers of the Apocalypse are trying to educate and help keep people healthy throughout the mojave, they try to do whats right for general society to make the world a better place.
The kings, impersonate people.... amazing...


Don't the Kings also controll most of the freeside thugs etc? I thought that was how they managed to remain incognito while the rioters were causing trouble for the NCR. Otherwise surely someone in the NCR would have figured it out. "All these rioters have the same hairstyle, the same hairstyle those 'king' fellas have. Hmmm I wonder if there is a connection."

Been a while since I've seen the King, so I could be remembering that wrong.

Legion will fall, just as the real Caesar's Rome did. Kaesar's first mistake was not learning from history, and so he is doomed to repeat it. In fact what led to Rome's downfall was there apointing of a dictator. was pretty good until then. too bad they didnt replace the former member of the triumverate (i think thats the right word).

Not to mention House is definitely provides the brightest future for Humanity. LEgion and NCR will both fall in time, but it is hard to stop the pursuit of science, especially if it is gaurded by a thousand war machines ready to annihalte you.

The Strip, if exclusivley ran by House, was a country, it would be the perfect country with House in full control. No imposin on other countries for different beliefs, and has the defensive capapabilities, while letting his citizens live their lives, while thethree families make up laws and stuff (although probably different families from the ones in th egame. u know more sane ones.)

Legion would eventually divide and blunder (cwutididthar?) due to different beliefs and ideology. IT happens eventually.

Um what? Rome didnt fall because of its dictators. [emperors] Many of the emperors of rome increased its empire like augustus, trajan, hadrian. Dont put down Romes downfall to its dictators, many factions including the praetorian guard, civil wars and the sheer size of the empire and lack of people willing to join the army destroyed rome

OF course it isn't entireley becaus of Dictators, but it sure as hell didn't help. Julius Caesar was probably the only one who caused more good than bad, but that is debateable.

And Dictators never work out in the long run. Simply for hte fact that people have different ideas about what's "good" for society.

Um no. The empire was at its peak with hadrian [or trajan i cant remember] The whole dictator thing didnt work out becuse they were being assasinated too quickly. The praetorian guard was to powerful and the head of it controlled the emperor and his life. They often auctioned of the empire after assasinating the emperor. Other reasons aswell did not contribute but really Rome never got the chance to test out dictatorships. And many great empires were built on dictator ships.

Nothing ever works out for the long run

Democracy is a relatively new system. Athens was a democracy sept no slaves, no women, no poor people could vote. Not really perfect. Britain and through that america wasnt a proper democracy in the early 1800s. Its new compared to other systems

NCR/BoS.

Aesthetically, these are the two factions I prefer, and I like their philosophies the most too. Legion is too ignorant and damaging for my taste, and House wants to make Vegas something it never was instead of actually helping the world.

I voted Powder Gangers because I hate all the other options, except FotA, but I didn't vote for them because they're kinda boring :)
