So I should not defend them cause Obsidian did a crap design on Legion's part?
I'll defend them until I get shown otherwise that they treat their people like crap in Arizona.
And Great Khans... Are spoiler again.. I'll PM ya about that.

Ceasar's Legion. They are the most unorganized, terribly led, and weak force ever. The kings could probably wipe them out because they're badass and the Legion are just a bunch of makeshift romans. The Great Khans because they're just one step above the fiends are dirty and smelly.

:facepalm:
nice evidence you gave there.
I hate how everyone votes for CL never explains why, and if they do they end up posting stuff like this...
I'm too exhausted on this topic to rant any more about stuff like this.
I blame the biased put on the NCR by obsidian. I now only think of the NCR Veteran rangers as [censored]s and seducers, freakin' cover box :verymad:

*Slavery, crucifixion, sixism, blah blah blah
*They use kids in warfare (talk to Ranger Andy in Novac), taking the childhood of someone away is one of the lowest crimes ever.
*They rap3 (this was censored <_<) people (Ask Veronica about the Legion)
*They are hypocrites. They are proud of the safe roads in Arizona, but still they raid traveling merchants in the Mojave.
*Their ''alliance'' with the Khans is also low.
*They are mass murderers, complete How Little We Know and pass a speech check of 80 with Cachino
*They approve of The White Glove Society's canniballism
*The second in command of the Legion is a psychopath (Lanius = Butcher in Latin)
*Nipton, some say that it was a good action of the Legion, because the town was filled with Powder Gangers and prosttutes. I don't give a damn about the Powder Gangers, but I honestly don't see how murdering prosttutes because they're prosttutes is justified. It's the f-ing Wasteland, people have to survive.

1. Is she a valid source though?
2. They raid NCR caravans or NCR suppoers as far as I've seen.
3. Khans should consider themselves happy they weren't just crucified. (Like Anders)
4. So is House and NCR.
5. Well, I wonder who they allow to cannibalize though, hardly think Legion is going to allow them to cannibalize on slaves or citizens and definitely not legionnaires so I'm confused about this and Aurelius as well.
6. Nah, brutal war-lord, not psychopath.
7. Legion wishes to remove the corruption of the world, a town of prosttutes is hardly going to help humanity, if anything they are evil people just like Powder Gangers are and deserve to die.

First of all, I liked how you simply ignored 2 of my points.
1. I've never heard her lying, except about being a member of the BoS, which she confessed after 10 seconds, so that's pretty valid.
2. Nope, they raid merchants. Merchants that also sell to the Courier. Basically you can buy all of their stuff, so I don't see how that's an NCR supplier.
3. I honestly don't see what you're trying to say there, sorry.
4. House, yes. NCR, no. Bitter Springs was a mistake by ONE NCR officerer, no one in the NCR approved of it, and the person who was responsible for the massacre is an enbarrasment to the Bear. What happened to Nipton could have been an order from Caesar himself.
5. Okay, canniballism is okay as long as you only eat the right people, yeah I get it.
6. ''He then slaughtered his own tribe, with who had lived with for years.'' - Caesar (not the correct formulation, but ah well)
7. Prostitution = corrupt? What?

The Legion would eventually get wiped out by a different chapter of BoS if you ask me. They're not really the ones to back down. By the way your pic is the epitome of awesome haha

lol thank you sir. Yah the BOS in my opinion would wreck all if they had just a little bit more troops. With there Superior technology and weapons ceasers legion would be a joke hahaha.

Ifs, wants, and wishes don't mean a thing. The fact of the matter is they are held up in their little hole in the ground barely powerful enough to fart northwest let alone take on a contingents of savages.

Your joking. This person is a comedian here. The BOS could defiantly kill savages by far. The fact that if they had a little bit more troop is not a Wish. They could be far Superior than NCR and the joke legion.

I voted the Legion as my least favorite major faction, because I think they're incredibly cruel. However, I do like their idea that any crime is unforgivable.
I voted the Kings as my least favorite minor faction, because they're just a bunch of posers.

Didn't the BoS exterminate the Vipers?

Considering that Centurions have a shoulder pauldron and a few other pieces of T-45d Power Armor on their armor, it's likely Caesars Legion has taken on another chapter and won. Also, the Legion is savage, but they are still a worthy foe, to underestimate your opponent can only lead to demise, it's the oldest war philosophy, and this applies to Fallout too.

Edit @ Mtndew- I don't recall them ever having done so. Seeing as you encounter them on the roads.

Okay? But the BoS still lost to NCR too. Like House said. "Apparently shiny power armor and weapons don't count for much when you're outnumbered 15:1". And he's right. Look what happened at Helios, and apparently whatever conflict Caesars Legion won against the BoS with. It isn't about scare factor, what I'm saying to you is that the fact of the matter is that training and shiny toys don't amount to much when your enemy can launch enough power at you till you're out of ammo. Plus, the Legion being trained in weapons and rigorously in melee. Know what will happen when that BoS Paladin's gun jams and he's in his foxhole trying to fix it? A legionarie will swipe that head of his right off with a broad machete.

Seriously, Power Armor and Laser Weapons don't make the BoS war gods. It just makes them better equipped for a fight.

Remember what I said about ifs and wants? The fact is the BoS DIDN'T have the numbers, and even though they held out, in the end, they lost the battle.

Problem is that we *don't* have much evidence about their supposed 'superiority' in fights. All we saw(or heard about) was the Operation Sunburst where BoS got their asses kicked by a bunch of well organized soldiers.

Are you also forgetting that the BOS is also very trained also??? They just arnt a bunch of people with power armor,they are soldiers just like the NCR. Plus i would like to see a legionarie even atempt to swipe his neck off because he couldnt swipe through power armor for one. and also the BOS soldier would punch him once and make his gut go through his back. Yah also considering how long they held when they were outnumbered 15:1 states something. And that is they are not pvssys or a terrible faction. The fact that NCR had them out numbered that much and they almost got wrecked says alot...

the battle at HELIOS One never made sense to me, I think if you'd put a paladin in front of 15 NCR troopers ingame, he'd win.

The Legion, however, is a whole other story. The Legion's got frumentarii, and if one Frumentarus can become a captain in the NCR, they can probably somehow weaken the BoS.

Oh for the love of God. You're missing my point entirely. Training is not an absolute assurity. The Legion are just as well trained as NCR troops and BoS knights. If you ask Moore, she even dreads them, saying they are extremely fast and agile. Also, there is no evidence the NCR was almost wrecked at Helios, hell, theres very little mention of the fight for Helios from the NCR troops.

LOL exactly because they know they got wrecked and ask some people they say about how the NCR took heavy causalities. Ever talk to Elijah he says about it and Veronica.

No, it's more because the troops that died, well, died. The NCR moved on to bigger and better things. To them the BoS was a minor setback. Making hyperbole statements about the Brotherhood doesnt change the fact they are incompetent Knights of Yore LARPers.

INCOMPETENT KNIGHTS woah woah stop the train here. They are far from incompetent were not talking about the Legion or NCR's comanding officer here. Trust me the BOS could have wiped the out by now if they wanted to. All they would have to do is call for reinforcements and BOOM there dead. Seems more of a major set back since there to stupid to put helios one into power...Let alone they get a dumb ass to be put in charge of it.

So....The Brotherhood are hiding in their hidey hole because they WANT two powerful factions and a technological genius to be nearby, and not because they are full of goofballs who couldnt fight a dead bloatfly? Must be nice living in your dream world. Suffice it to say, the Brotherhood aren't getting resources, the BoS back West are in just as much trouble right now. Also, Helios is only at a set back because Fantastic lied to get his position. You are drastically overstating the BoS. They arent that powerful, contrary to whatever high esteem you hold them too.

No actually they are powerful and they are far better than the INCOMPETENT NCR and Legion. Not to mention that the NCR is stupid enough to put him on the job when they dont ask for any thing else to back up what he says. Plus anyone can ask a question like "are you a teacher" and you could respond "hell yes" simple ass that but doesn mean you are one!! They cant go out and try to survive out of that bunker since there numbers are severely diminished and the NCR 10 years ago is now one hell of a army. I dont live in the dream world im just seeing for what it really is.

You're right. Shame on the NCR for being duped so easily, but desperate times often leave little room for questions.

Beg your pardon? You DO realize this statement COMPLETELY contradicts your previous claim of 'The BoS could wipe out the NCR, they just choose not to.'
