How will the NCR fare?

With the NCR ending, they should be OK for a while, as they fully occupy the Mojave and vent thier excess population into it, with the happy secondary result of securing thier new conquest by drowning out the people already there. The wealth generated by the Strip could help get the NCR's finances in order again, making it healthier than it has been in years. Oliver will probably use "his" victory to get himself Elected President and in a few years embroil himself in the same situation the Courier just got Kimball out of, either in Mexico, Legion terrority or the Canadian NW. Perhaps some mysterious stranger will arise out of nowhere to help the NCR out of it's jam yet again.....

A Yes Man/House victory would screw the NCR but good, but they would probably be better off in the long term assuming the electorate uses this opportunity to rid themselves of Kimball and his greedy and stupid friends. With New Vegas as a buffer state between them and the Legion they would have time to get thier house in order and expand North or South when they are able to support the effort properly. Or a Civil War could erupt over who got to chart the NCR's future course. Perhaps someone will help make a decision whether the NCR will return to it's roots and look out ofr everyone or become sham Republic ruled by a oligarchy devoted to military adventurism.....

If the Legion wins, the NCR would be well and truly screwed, as Caesar intended to prosecute the war with the NCR until it was destroyed....and it's last leaders paraded in Triumph down the Strip before being hauled off and crucified.....then he would build his new Empire on top of it's rubble. With the NCR's forces in the Mojave routed or annihilated, and Kimball and his friends totally discredited, the NCR might even fall into a Civil War over how to deal with the situation. A perfect situation for a anti-hero reluctantly serving a fascist Regime because the only alternative is even worse 40K/Halo/Gears of War style.

I'd say something worth of mention are the Khans. One of the possible endings is that they leave the Mojave, reconnect with followers, and start building an empire in Wshington/Oregan/Idaho and NW Canada. I'd say this could be expanded quite a far bit, and if obsidian/Bethesda does this right, they could make a Pseudo Mongol empire or a less violent more peaceful mongol empire. Depending on how much effect the Followers' ideals have on the Khans.

This would make it more interesting, and expand the series more. Hell, we could go to Arroyo or Klamath.

Although, the whole Post apocalyptic Ancient empires may get a bit out of hand.

I THINK YOU MEAN SOUTHWEST CANADA!!!! NW Canada would be really far for the Khans or the NCR

Also in my opinion the East Coats BoS would start building a new country now that they control the purifier (Im assuming that that is the canon ending). Also the NCR would take along time to get to Washington. So I dont think it is going to be a problem for a while.

Eh, I think the NCR need to slow the crap down and consolidate before they do anything.

I doubt the BoS will make any sort of country. They are not interested in controlling a country.

The EBoS might join whatever government arises in the Capital Wasteland....probably the LW's next project after FO3/BS is done....but neither Elder Lyons or Sarah seem to be ambitious to rule over the Wastes so they would probably limit it's role to serving as it's Army or merely participate in it's legislature. The NCR won't be a concern to the Capital Wasteland for at least a century....the NCR can barely hold the Mojave, much less project power across 2500 miles of radioactive wasteland. The Pitt, the Commonwealth, and perhaps Ronto will be of far more concern.
