The Canyon is moderately close to Nipton, a town that, just recently, (game time) was taken over by the Legion. At its other end is the Mojave Outpost. (or at least it comes out fairly close)
Was the Legion planning on attacking the Mojave Outpost via the canyon? It would have hidden their approach, and given them the element of suprise. If so why did it get cut? Is it going to be a part of a DLC?
What do you think?
