Best: The King by far, screw Caesar, House, and all the rest.

Worst: Kimball, incompetent fool.

best: Julie Farkas because she tries to help people while everyone is just about fighting each other.

worst: Kimball because he doesn't really do anything.

That's not really good leadership, that's just being friendly...

Mr. House has long range plans for humanity. He saved Vegas and the Hoover Dam in the first place.

Caesar is a brutal thug with delusions of grandeur.

To say it with the Kings words: "You might ask Julie, she usually knows such things. Just don't ask her what to do, she'll probably ask you to hug something or someone."

Caesar turned one hopeless tribe into an army. With his knowledge and tactics, the Mojave is ours! :bonk:


Worst? It wouldn't be right if I didn't say Kimball. :lmao:

Best: Marcus, he's managed to keep a bunch of schizophrenic stealth boy addicted Super Mutants together for years and build a pretty successful settlement.

Worst: House and McNamara. House isn't even a leader at all. Sure he can command mindless robots that can't think for themselves but he really svcks at dealing with people. Pretty much everyone under House's command has betrayed him without his knowledge. As for McNamara, he's clearly a smart guy but he's still leading the BoS down a path that he knows will end in their demise.

Caesar would be the best if it wasn't for the fact that he squanders his resources by enslaving all women, shunning technology, and killing most skilled/educated people rather than putting them to work.

The King is a good leader in the sense that he's charming, fair and respectful, but not so much of a leader in any strategical sense. Under him there'd be peace, but no progress.

House is the other side. House is fair to those that agree to be a part of his nation, but very distant. He's respectful to those that are a part of his nation, but those who don't want to be a part are simply asked to leave or be shot at. Under him New Vegas would be ready for every single possible situation and there'd be progess, but the people might not be AS happy as they would be under the King.


I still say the hardest decision in this game lies in the House-King-NCR triangle with the King's quest. None of them deserve to die, but at least one of them has to. :sadvaultboy:

I think you're saying she's not as good of a leader because the followers don't really do all that much over the course of the game but the followers seem very well organized and I think they're goals are worthwhile. You could argue that Caesar is a good leader because he keeps the rest of the Legion in check but he's still a bad leader because he's a slaver and he controls his soldiers with an iron fist and I wouldn't exactly call that being a good leader.

Best: House. Pretty much self-explanitory.

Worst: Kimball, he doesn't really seem to know what he's doing at all. He's also dragged his country into a war that is costing thousands of lives and will likely achieve nothing.

I voted Julie Farkas (FotA) as the best, shes organized, determined and FOA are truly working to make a difference but i always felt they needed to grow in numbers and start up more branches of FOA elsewahre in the mojave to help others and not just freesideers.

The Worst- The king.... what a joke, nuff said.

I went with the bos elder as the best. He is making the best out of a bad situation. He, like elder Lyons is very cautious, almost overley so. Caution is one of the key attributes of wisdom, wisdom is many the most key attribute in being a good leader.


Worst are anyone involved with the way NCR is running the campaign in the mw. NCR leadership and strategists are brain dead.

Funny, Edward Sallow was in a bad situation (being kidnapped by a tribe on the verge of collapsing) and he made it better than the Mojave BoS did (formed a big empire).

I agree with you on the nCR thing though, there strategy is to rush into new land, tell them they're part of the NCR now, tax them to hell, take their resources, and use them to expand even further.

1) Annex a lot of land you can barely control.
2) Give them high taxes
3) ???
4) Profit

Simple.

Caeser would be #2, but there are too many things he does not allow or is not interested in to be number 1. Everyone in fo nv has severe flaws, becase that is the way it was written. Out of all of them I just think McNamara has the least glaring flaws.

Caeser is no slouch though, he knows a lot. I just think they could be stronger if he embraced some things that he does not.

NCR's strategy worked quite well until the Legion showed up. They were able to protect their citizens from raiders, mutants, remnants of the Master's army, and the BoS. They've underestimated the Legion and they still don't take the Legion's threat seriously.
