You're more of a BoS person, aren't you, McB?  I like those bucketheads myself, particulary the Midwestern Chapters. But without outside help, they're basically xenophobic technopiles that'll destroy themselves if they continue being what they are. One thing I dislike about them is because of that. Veronica and Lyons had the right idea. And Colonel, what makes you call them knobheads?

The protofacism, the genocides, the inherently sexist society and the slavery. I find they generally make pretty good measures of a groups' knobheadishness and the Legion measure a long way on those. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Couldn't have said it better myself. The thing about the Legion, for me at least, is that while I don't like them very much at all as a group, I absolutely adore them as an idea; the whole idea of a militaristic pseudo-Romanic post-nuclear society made from conquered and repatriated tribes is a really cool one, and I love the vibe the Legion have going. Edit: I love that I just said that the Legion had a 'vibe'. Like they're some kind of nightclub or something... This post has been edited by Colonel Mustard: Feb 11 2013, 09:52 PM

Edit: I love that I just said that the Legion had a 'vibe'. Like they're some kind of nightclub or something... Yeah I feel similar. While I thought it was an interesting idea, their values and morals basically make siding with them akin to choosing "the dark side" in a star wars game. There really is no gray area with the Legion. Everything can't possibly be seen as black and white without thought to the situation. While the NCR definitely has problems and has it's troops stretched thin, at least they've got a long term plan in place and are trying to help people. The Legion seems to only want to subjugate without thought to what they'll do afterwards.
