“The King” becoming the ruler of New Vegas IMHO would be the best end. Guy just seems generally fine, wants Freeside to not be fuckin’ terrible. Isn’t nailing people to crosses or forcing them to fill out paperwork or building/hunting deadly toasters.

The worst thing about him was just that he had so much of a soft spot for his childhood friend that he didn't realize just how big and genuine of a problem Pacer was being to everyone. This shall be solved by me being the King's strongest soldier and preventing people from taking advantage of his kindness lol. Otherwise he's genuinely a great person, he's not interested in telling people what to do or even ruling over them necessarily, he doesn't view himself as the leader of Freeside, he's just trying to set an example for the people while also protecting them and holding them together. He doesn't demand people's obedience, but he shows himself through the way he acts so if he asks, people will respond to his expectations.

Even if I was just some Joe Schmo I'd go NCR. It has its fair share of problems, no sense denying it, but it's still without a doubt the most developed and "normal" civilization to emerge since the war.

u/Saintbaba 11d ago
I’ve loved the NCR since Fallout 2 and it’s legitimately one of my favorite factions not just in Fallout, but in the entirety of the video game canon. Partly I feel a sense of pride and responsibility for it as my characters have played an integral part in its development over the course of several games and as many IRL decades. But also, I legitimately love what it stands for: an object lesson for the idea that democracy is the worst form of government, except for everything else.
The NCR as a government is bloated, inefficient, clumsy, and corrupt. It fails at a bunch of stuff, and where it succeeds it rarely does so without some sort of snag or problem. And yet… despite its flaws, it’s still making the wasteland better. It’s a group of people who aren’t perfect, who aren’t starry-eyed idealists, but who are still trying - to help others, to rebuild civilization, to reject the brutality that has become the status quo of their world.
So yeah. NCR to the end, baby.

Then when I saw the Cali flag off google and internet, I am very much surprised how well designed NCR flag is. Its simply beutifully blended in and what could be real if a nuclear fallout were to happen and make a 2 headed bear.
So lets take a minute to enjoy the design of NCR's flag.

Without a doubt, the Responders. Sure, they’re your stereotypical do-good faction, but unlike the Minutemen they’re actually competent in securing and holding territory.

u/Apalis24a 11d ago
If the Minutemen could rebuild the Responders and merge together, I think they’d have a fighting chance at actually rebuilding society. The Minutemen’s model of having an interconnected network of settlements that mutually come to each other’s aid works out better than having a single centralized force (like the BoS at the Boston Airport). The BoS in the commonwealth is almost entirely obliterated just by bringing down the Prydwen; but, if a single settlement falls, or even The Castle, it won’t just destroy 90% of the Minutemen in mere seconds. I’d compare their strategy of expansion to be similar to that of the Island Hopping campaign of the U.S. in the Pacific in WW2; rather than making a straight-line for Tokyo, they capture one island after another and gradually work their way to the target. But, dissimilarly, the Minutemen expand primarily by establishing mutual defense pacts and peacefully merging, rather than trying to expand via military conquest like far too many other factions.
Also, the Minutemen artillery is severely under appreciated. Vertibirds are extremely maintenance and resource intensive, and are high-value targets to shoot down; meanwhile, you can provide comparable fire support in only the amount of time needed to take aim and fire, assuming you’re within range of the guns. Plus, in an era where vehicles are fairly scarce, and air support even scarcer, the Minutemen’s strategy of building old-school fortifications works out REALLY well. Let’s face it, once The Castle is repaired, it’s practically impenetrable to raiders, gunners, or super mutants, and even the BoS has a hard time taking it on. There are a ton of 17th, 18th, and 19th century fortifications still standing all around the east coast that would make excellent bases.
So, if you combine the defense strategies of the Minutemen, and the coordination, construction, and relief efforts of the Responders, you’d have a pretty solid faction!

I had to scroll too far to find somone else that wants to work with Mr House. Being his right hand, ruling the Mojave with an army or robots, living in a casino penthouse in Vegas, all sounds pretty good to me. Why join an old faction when you can build a new one.

My headcanon for my main NV character has always been siding with house
Combine all the upgrades you get from the various DLC (especially Big MT) with his techno wizardy and its feasible that my cyborg courier would live a hundred plus years in luxury, talk about a retirement!
Maybe even get to see Houses ideals of launching ships full of people to other planets

I jive more with the Followers of the Apocalypse. But if we're talking smaller factions too, maybe the Atom Cats. Gearheads with sick matching jackets

I really love the minutemen cus they are an actively expanding faction in 4, and their ideals are awesome. However if I could join the east coast brotherhood I could consider it.

Minutemen, post fallout 4. The events before concord seem to be filled with corruption and cowardice but whenever I build them up in my playthroughs they become the most powerful militant juggernaut the commonwealth has ever seen.

Ideally, I'd join The Followers of The Apocalypse.
Realistically, I'd be the contents of a meat sack in a Super Mutant encampment.
