I've just completed my third run through of New Vegas, siding with the NCR. Now I would like to do a playthrough for Caesar himself. The only problem is, the only interaction I've ever had with the Legion involved their heads and some shotgun slugs, so I don't really know how to go about playing.

I was wanting to do a tribal/melee build and have tagged melee, unarmed and speech as my main skills.

So far here is what I have:

How would you play a Tribal/Legion character, would helping the PRs make any sense considering what the Legion do to them at Nipton? Thanks for any help, guys and gals.

[censored] over the Powder Gangers and work against NCR and you're pretty much set.
Though both my Legion playthroughs were with female characters using Energy Weapons.
I like to break the rules, be a rebel.
So I don't think you "have to be" melee and unarmed or make a tribal either.
You could be a smooth-talking con-man who barely has any combat experience and still side with Legion and make it work.

I found being a tribal and working for the Legion to be boring and felt like a chore. It seems that people coming from the perspective of "Legion is a bunch of slavers and not a legitimate super power that could better the Mojave" tend to want to make savages when trying to do a Legion playthrough. Speaking from personal experiences, I didn't like the evil savage tribal route.

Like the Dinosaur above me said, break the rules, be a rebel.

Yeah but don't be a female if you haven't done the arena yet, because Otho is a sixist [censored] who won't let you enter if if you don't have piece of flesh dangling between your legs.
