[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;43081469]I can't stand the Legion, not because they're slavers and general dickholes, but because they're fucking Roman wannabes. I'm not complaining about the fact that someone behind the scenes decided "Let's have a Roman faction", because the Legion is weird and it adds flavour to the game. I'm complaining that some asshole was so full of weird idealism that he gathered up a bunch of tribes and molded them into an imitation of an ancient empire to the best of his abilities.[/QUOTE] That's kind of the point of them though, and it's sadly totally believable for a post apocalyptic setting, if some asshole is loud enough people will follow them I think the Legion are a cool faction though a little bit over done visually IMO some of their camps and armor are a bit too much but they're much more compelling than the NCR this is the NCR they show up announce they run shit and then complain when everyone tells them to fuck off

They were supposed to be threatening, sophisticated and likeable for both sexes with a very Neo-Rome vibe. Current Legion are just a destructive collection of tribes being led by an angry man taking a vendetta on the world because has a brain tumour.
I always loved Mr.House because he seemed like the only person there who could actually get shit done.
I killed Mr.House because he wasn't fit to rule at all. And I didn't like the idea of independent New Vegas, and the legion are just shit. NCR only option left that is good IMO

NCR only option left that is good IMO[/QUOTE] i thought that as well but if you killed goodsprings you're a piece of shit really. hence why yes man ending was the best ending for the area overall.
[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;43081357]4th playthrough I still cannot bring myself to side with the NCR it's the only faction I haven't done but I am literally incapable of helping them they're jsut so fucking incompetent at least the Legion doesn't shut down an entire town because 2 convicts have varmint rifles for fucks sakes guys what do you offer for me to leave this in your hands just I know all the options are supposed to be more or less equal but shit NCR is just so bad[/QUOTE] why do you make all of your post like this it is seriously a little annoying Also, are you referring to Primm? Because there was a hell of a lot more than 2 guys and one of them had a [I]fucking incinerator.[/I]
[QUOTE=cdr248;43081755]I always loved Mr.House because he seemed like the only person there who could actually get shit done.[/QUOTE] House and (good) Wild Card are probably the best choices for the Mojave. House doesn't give a shit about the people of the Mojave but they would probably benefit from his plans by being the closest people nearby when he needs manpower. Wild Card you can actually try to set up the groundwork for a functioning city state if you get the Kings, the Families, the Boomers, and the Great Khans to ally with you. The NCR wouldn't be a bad thing but it also wouldn't change much, probably just tax people for shit they had before the NCR showed up. The Legion could go either way. If Caesar was able to form a proper government he could turn his legion into a functioning but backwards little empire. Too bad he shows no desire to do anything but be single minded despot. And if he dies, due to his tumour, assassination, or betrayal, then his second in command is a fucking maniac who only wants war and would turn the Legion on itself rather than try the whole peace thing. They should totally make the House ending canon though, more factions means more tension, more opportunities for future stories.
is there an ending that's considered canon?

NCR only option left that is good IMO[/QUOTE] Yeah, NCR gets a lot of hate for being to big and having a bureaucracy so thick you could slice it with a knife but I felt they were the best. Mr. House seemed morally dubious and cared more about scientific progress and the progress of his little strip of land more than protecting and defending people (he is basically a machine by this point; all he has are his robots and he barely resembles a human) and governing, although scientific progress and human progress tend to go hand in hand. Still, were it he had to choose, I think he would sacrifice lives if only for the advancement of science, but that is just what I took away from him. Independent Vegas is chaotic even when done right and it doesn't seem very lawful. Pretty much all hell breaks loose and I would guess it would end up staying that way anyways, especially once the Courier dies from age or whatever. Legion are a bunch of tribal scumbags who enslave and murder. I don't think a single point is here to be made in their favor. Sure, they have [I]some[/I] good people but their morals are fucked. I don't really even have to point out why their ending is bad.

There were 2 guys patrolling the town, and a few more inside, but a 3 man strike team would've fucked them up easily, the NCR easily steamrolls the NCRCF when they want too so they're just deliberately being useless

There [i]isn't[/i] really a single good ending, and I think that's the point. House is completely competent, but a total dickbag. The Legion is strong, but also a bunch of marauding assholes. The NCR is civilization and government returned to the wasteland, but also an incompetent bureaucracy that a lot of people chafe against. The independent endings, from what I hear, fuck things up for most people, but I think if you have positive karma then New Vegas ends up alright in the end.
speaking of endings, i was looking through the slides and found this for rex (which is in my opinion, the saddest slide if [sp]rex doesn't get a replacement brain[/sp]) the text/speech: [sp]Having never received a replacement brain, Rex finally succumbed to old age, abruptly shutting down forever one quiet morning. After two centuries of life and decades of service to humanity, Rex collapses and dies."[/sp]
I remember getting that ending once because I completely forgot about doing that quest. I felt SO fucking bad.

I like half of Legion's values but despise the other half. Overall House is the best option. Not only for the Mojave but the entire Earth. He had plans to rebuild as much as possible before sending humanity off to colonize untouched planets, and he realistically had the means to do all of this with his cunning and resources. If he has an entire secret bunker filled with an army of death bots, who knows what other secret, untouched assets he has to rebuild. Where the NCR are too incompetent and the Legion are too caught up with their heads up their own asses, House sees and moves straight through the bullshit.

House also knows how to get what he wants without using tons of force and violence, whereas the Legion and NCR are all like, "GIVE US YOUR SHIT OR DIE."

That still doesn't mean its not legit. [editline]5th December 2013[/editline] Also the code on the Survivor2299 has been updated.

does anyone know any non-nude body replacers for males/females? and no, i don't want a slutty body type either.
[QUOTE=ProfHappycat7;43082793]does anyone know any non-nude body replacers for males/females? and no, i don't want a slutty body type either.[/QUOTE] BNB has a non-nude version which just fixes a bunch of things wrong with the base model but isn't exactly type-3-like, also it adds a lot of races and race-specific armors to un-bland your caravan

I remember Arcade had a really terrible ending if you sold him to Caesar. He ends up killing himself.
